Your Investment
You are making an investment into the fondest and loving memories
of your life, not only for you, but also your family so I believe
this would be an investment not to be missed.
That split second the shutter is released captures that moment
in time, forever. "Capturing the Moment" is a common
cliche but it holds oh so true. Even though both our children
have grown up and moved on with their own lives I often look
at the wall portraits to reminisce about the great times we had
as a family with our children in our home.
Through our discussions you and I will determine the needs for
your photography session as not all photography sessions are
the same. As mentioned before, you may require just an individual
photo, or maybe a small family portrait, or pregnancy photo.
So the time frame required for an individual photo is considerably
less than that of a small family portrait so why would I price
these photography sessions the same, when they are different.
You may want a couple of wardrobe changes, different backgrounds
maybe a shoot on location, portrait retouching which of course
takes time and would be priced accordingly.
Maybe you would rather have me bring the photography session to
you where you would enjoy having your own home as a background
for your photographs instead of my studio. I would be more than
happy to oblige to come to your home. Whether indoors or outdoors,
using natural light or studio lighting I will capture a series
of stylish and flattering photographs for you.
So after our discussions I can provide you with a custom quote on
your photography session or you can choose to review the Portrait
Session Fees. I don't have package deals so you will receive
real value for the money that you do spend. Be sure to ask about
the time limited offer on discounts on the more photographs you
purchase the more you will save.
Remember, I want to ensure that you are fully satisfied with the entire
experience from beginning to end. You may want to check out my guarantee.
Estimates for assistants, makeup artists, and hair stylists, are provided
on a case-by-case basis.
Payment
To reserve your specific date and time for the session, a 50% retainer
of the session
fee is required. The session fee needs to be received 7 days
prior to the session or the session may be re-booked.
If you don’t show up for your photography session or let me
know that you can’t make the session, the entire retainer is
forfeit. So please strive to make alternate arrangements at least
48 hours in advance if you need to re-schedule your session for whatever
reason.
Full payment is required prior to ordering prints. Wall

the initial payment is provided, the refund will not include monies
