Pricing

My pricing represents the amount of time that I invest in each client. We talk, I prepare for your photo session by planning out backgrounds, locations, costumes, attitudes - everything that goes into capturing the most authentic image of what we are trying to achieve together.  We then spend time together actually capturing the shots, and then I edit. I spend a lot of time editing your pictures, making sure that the lighting, the expressions, the composition, the color tones - every little detail of your image - is the way it should be. For every hour I am with a client, I probably spend 8-10 workiing alone planning, setting up, and editing. My pricing structure reflects both the work that you see and the work that you don't, and  my clients have been happy with it.  The pricing structures below are standardized across the various types of sessions which are available, based on anticipated length of time of the shoot and the amount of time that I spend on my own, making sure that I am proud of the images I give you. My pricing packages are flexible and you can swap out products based on the prices reflected in the a la carte menu. You can also add items, and I do my best to bundle what you want to buy so that you get the best price I can offer. 

 

Most clients buy more that the package they came in for. Most headshot clients wind up buying several additional images, and families that come in for family portraits usually spend between $1500 - $2000 because once they see the images, they want large wall art for themselves and also wind up buying products for grandparents, etc. There is no obligation to buy anything additional - but I want customers to know the vast majority of my clients fall in love with their images and want to hang them in large format all over their house!   

 

 In our initial consultation, we will discuss what you are looking for product-wise and we will also discuss your budget so that there are no surprises; I am a photographer, not a salesman, and I do not put any pressure on you to buy.  In fact, other than the deposit, I do not collect payment until after you are satisfied and I deliver my work.
