Session fee includes the high resolution images and retouching on photos. Companies pleaase contact me for discount pricing for 5 or more portraits done in one session.

Photography Lessons: $250 for 2 hours

Many people have bought the gear but now don't know how to use it. There are a number of classes around town, but as a mom I know it's hard to find time to go to the classes, get a sitter etc. So I come to client's homes (or a location like a park) and go over any questions you may have about photography, how to do basic shots, how to make your family candids better etc. Our talk will be tailored to your needs and your kids can be there as well (both for convenience and they act as great subjects).Split the cost with friends. Maximum of 5 students for the lesson.

Gift Certificates

Order a gift certificate for a portrait session, or a birth announcement session for a parent-to-be. Some customers have hired me to photograph a birthday party as a surprise gift to the birthday girl/boy. I can also work with you to offer a custom gift. Gift certificates can be mailed to you or directly to the gift recipient.

Why do you offer the digital image files and not charge more for prints?

We all want the digital files to keep and print at our leisure. If I were booking a photographer I'd want the digital files at a reasonable price so that's what I offer.

What does your competition charge?

Studios and other photographers often charge less for the session fee (usually around $250), but then charge between $20-$150 for a 5x7 print. Some sell a CD with the digital files but usually for $600 or more and most only offer low resolution images (low resolution images can only be enlarged to 4x6 or 5x7 size). In some instances, photographers and studios charge around $200-$300 for the session and $100/print. That may be reasonable if you only want 1 image, but odds are they have captured at least 5+ images that you love. So, in order to keep those images, you will need to buy 5 prints. You will leave the transaction spending $800 or more and will not have the negatives or digital files to keep.
