Your Investment
The information contained on this page is what other photographers refer to as pricing. My take on this is you are making an investment into the fondest memories of your life, not only for you, but also your family. 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 portaits 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 the photo shoot 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 of course would be priced accordingly.
Maybe you would rather have me bring the photography session to you where you would enjoy using your own home as a backdrop 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 pphotographs 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 photograhs you purchase the more you save.
