Portrait Session Pricing

(Looking for Extended Family Session Pricing? CLICK HERE)


General Pricing in a nutshell:

The minimum client investment for a full session with me is $600.


A client who is only interested in digital files from their session will spend a total of $600-$800 with me for their session and digital files.

Clients looking for digital files + wall art and other print products spend anywhere from $600 - $10k+


How Pricing Works

session retainer fee + digital images/print products = your total


Session Retainer Fee: $300

($400 for extended family sessions)

Every booking starts with the session retainer fee,

which is your only up-front cost prior to seeing your images.

The session retainer fee is paid when you book your session; it covers my time, talent and equipment, all the costs of planning and preparing for your session, and the session time itself. No digital images or print products are included in your session fee.


I do not place a time limit on your session; my focus is on creating beautiful images to fill your gallery. A typical family session usually takes around 45 -60 minutes; sessions with small children may be shorter or longer depending on their attention spans.

+

digital images and/or print products: $300-$10k+

Two weeks after your session, it's Gallery Day!

You will receive an email link to your proofing gallery full of all the final, beautifully-edited images we created during our session together.


In the comfort of your own home, with your proofing gallery in front of you on your device, you may then choose exactly the digital image and/or print products you would like to purchase from your session, and order those directly from your proofing gallery.


I also offer my clients complimentary in-person ordering services (according to seasonal availability,) for those who would like professional guidance designing and ordering prints, wall art, and more. I can come to your home with size and paper finish samples so that you can visualize exactly what you want to order for your home, and help you with the design and ordering process from start to finish.
