Below you will find information on the kind of investment you can expect. I call it an investment because I truly believe it is just that. Custom portraiture is a luxury I take great pride in offering.
All sessions are customized to fit your vision and typically booked several weeks in advance. I operate with a traditional method of customer service where the session fee is paid for up front to reserve the date and time of your session. The fee covers my time and expertise to photograph and edit your gallery of images and does not include prints or digital files. 7-10 days following your session you are presented with the edited images via an online gallery at which time you decide which images you'd like to order digital files of. (see prices for digital files below)
Once you've had a chance to go over samples of my work and pricing information, pick up the phone or drop me a note to get the ball rolling.
*return customers receive $25 off any session
*holiday weekends incur an additional $50.
Family/Couples/Children/Maternity Session Fee: $150
Sessions are usually done at one location. Parks, your home, downtown setting. The options are limitless and together we make a customized plan for your family portraits based on all of the unique factors of your family. Sessions usually run about an hour.
**I recommend reserving early for holidays and October weekends.
Newborn Sessions $175
A newborn session is photographed ideally within the first 10 days and in your home or mine. A newborn session can last anywhere from 2-3 hours and is a truly priceless session to invest in.
The Basic $100: 30 minute session, 1-2 clothing changes, 10-15 retouched images to choose from
The Ultra $175: 1.5 hour session, 3-4 clothing changes, 25-30 retouched images to choose from
The Travel (??? in addition to session)
Many of our customers opt to take their session to the next level and set the scene of the session in a different location entirely. From downtown GR to downtown Grand Haven and the beach, to your hometown even! Please inquire for pricing on The Travel session as it is entirely dependent on location. The Travel session has limited availability.
MINI SESSIONS $100
20 minute session. quick, easy, super painless! Really any session can be a mini if you plan accordingly! Mini sessions must be scheduled in the Lakeview, MI area. Chat with me for details!
Once photographed you'll view your images via your own online gallery. At this time you'll decide which images to purchase. I recommend making your prints/products with a professional lab such as www.mpix.com or MotoPhoto in Grand Rapids. I do NOT recommend box store prints for quality reasons.
$500….all images delivered via download or USB
$125….per image (available via download)
$200...all images from Mini Session (available via download)
