Portrait Sessions
Portrait sessions include seniors, families, children, etc. They do not include
sporting events, head and shoulders shots, or other unique photo sessions. I
have no sitting fees or time limits for my portrait sessions. You may change
clothing as often as you wish (although after about four or five outfits, you
will probably be finished!). I encourage you to bring more than you plan to
wear; we may find something really cool to do. Also, I encourage you to bring
sports gear, band instruments, or any other "stuff" you may enjoy as a hobby
that we can photograph. (This applies more to seniors.)
Instead of the traditional "sitting fee," you purchase your proof magazine. This
is an 8x10 spiral bound book printed on photographic paper. There are only four
images per page, so the images are fairly large—about 3x4.5". I guarantee
between 125 to 150 images in your magazine, so there are plenty of images to
choose from while not overwhelming you with too many images. The price of the
magazine is $245.00 (plus tax). It is yours to keep. I do require this amount at
the time of the photo session.
From the proof magazine, you choose whatever you need. I do not have packages. I
find that this method prevents you from having a drawer full of photos you do
not want or need. So you may purchase one photograph or 100. I can print wallets
all the way up to billboards. Prices for some common sized prints:
Additionally, your photo session will be posted on my website for free, so
all of your friends and family members can view and purchase prints. This makes
ordering a breeze and saves you from sending your proof magazine to everyone you
know.
Weddings
I customize every wedding package to fit each couple's needs. Whether you want a
contemporary storybook album, prints, simply a high resolution DVD, or a
combination, I can accommodate.
I offer free engagement sessions with all of my wedding packages. Working with
you in advance gives us time to get to know each other as well as showing you
how I shoot. Hopefully the engagement session will make you more comfortable on
your big day. You receive a free 5x7 with your engagement session. (Engagement
photos must be taken at least six weeks prior to your wedding.)
In each package, I offer eight hours of shooting; any time above and beyond that
is $150.00 per hour. Packages start at $1,800.00. For that amount, you get your
free engagement session, event coverage, an additional shooter, and an edited
high resolution DVD. I always try to work with an assistant so you get different
angles and more variety of images. Albums run between $950.00 to $1,500.00. I
custom design your album from scratch, never with templates.
Because I price "a la carte," feel free to contact me with specifics. I can be
