Unlike a simple snapshot, my photography is a two part process resulting in a level of excellence my clients expect from a professional. The process starts with taking the images followed by making them into finished products. The time invested on site at the photo session posing and taking pictures is only a portion of the total process. Each raw image is individually edited and fine tuned using Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom among others  to ensure the end result meets the needs of my clients,  

Fees: My fee is made up of two components, a session fee, and a finished print/media fee. The session fee covers the time, vision, creativity, expense and skills required to capture the raw images during the actual session or sessions. The print/media fee includes the time, vision, creativity and technical skills required to produce a quality finished image.  The finished print/media fee is usually included in the session fee.

Prints/Media/Flash Drive: Each client may have a different set of requirements for the final delivered product, therefore instead of offering predefined packages, I prefer to give my clients the flexibility to define a package that meets their needs. This way everyone ends up paying for exactly what they want.

Optional Services: These include: major retouching/artistic effects, photo collages, graphic design, expedited service, etc.

All prices include product recommendations and an online private gallery for image review. 

 Family Portraits

Family portraits can generally be done in a hour at one location. Each client receives a password protected, private gallery of approximately 30 low resolution, unedited images for review, further editing by me and printing. High resolution digital images and prints are available at reasonable cost.

Senior Portraits

Senior portraits seek to reflect the spirit and individual personality of young people about to move to the next chapter in their lives. To that end, their photos should reflect their own qualities and interests. I take great care to use a variety of locations, poses & outfits to make every session personal and unique.

I offer a senior sessions beginning at $100; however, most take two sometimes more depending on locations. Each client receives a password protected, private online gallery of low resolution, unedited images for review, editing by me and printing. High resolution digital images and prints are available at reasonable cost.

Booking

Planning photo sessions whether for a wedding, a special occasion, senior pictures, a family reunion, even a Christmas card can be confusing. Here's what you can expect from me to help you along the way.

As soon as you decide to book a session, contact me via email or a Facebook message. We'll discuss the specifics of your session - type, locations, time frame and cost. Shortly afterwards, I’ll email you information on suggested locations and a few other odds and ends. You'll find lots of useful information in my Blog as well.   

I do not accept credit cards. Once the session fee or a small deposit is paid, your session is booked. I book as far out as necessary. Fall and spring sessions go quickly, so it is never too early to get your session date reserved.

As a reminder, you can always email me at [email protected], message me on Facebook or call me at 859-473-2107 should you have any questions.

My goal is to make your photography session a pleasant & rewarding experience for both of us!
