Please contact me to discuss beach session pricing.
How much are your prints?
Prints start at $35 (5×7 and smaller) and go up from there. 8×10/12 – $55 – 11×14 -$85 (mounted)
Do you offer digital collections?
YES! For a long time I was reluctant to give up my digital files but with the overwhelming demand to own your files I now have them available for you to share and enjoy. Give me a call and we’ll discuss your options and see the next FAQ for my most popular package.
What is your most popular product?
Digital Package #2 -
Your session up to 30 images on a high resolution DVD, a full bleed 5×7 of each, custom proof box with bordered 5×7 session set and 20% of ala-carte pricing.
Do you offer print collections?
I work on an ala-carte system that allows you to pick and choose freely rather than be locked into a certain number of a certain size.
Do you have a print order minimum?
I do not. Simply because I wouldn’t like that myself. However there is a $150 minimum on orders placed after your initial order.
When do I book my session?
You should book your session as soon as you decide that you would like my services. Your session fee is due in full at the time of booking, is non-refundable and is required to hold your date. I generally book 2-3 months in advance. I work strictly on a first come first serve basis and take a limited amount of sessions per month to insure quality.
When is the best time for a maternity session?
About 30-32 weeks when you have a nice sized belly and are still comfortable and able to move about somewhat freely. Maternity sessions are only booked combined with a newborn session. Book them at the same time and save $50 when your maternity session is local to 92562.
When is the best time for a newborn session?
Within the first 5-10 days of life. Your baby is still in the recovery stage, less prone to be startled when being moved, and most likely has not developed baby acne at that point.
They can be done after this time frame but the chances of curly sleepy tiny baby poses is unpredictable after 10 days.
When do I get to see my photos?
I post a sneak peek on my blog a few days after your session. Your gallery will go live 2-4 days before your scheduled ordering session.
How do I order prints?
I conduct a complimentary ordering session in the comfort of your home in which I can assist you in choosing what the best options are for your space. Read more HERE. I also have an online ordering system.
How will I get my prints?
I ship them straight to your door or arrange to drop them off in person.
Can I see ALL of the photos that you took at my session?
I go through all of your session files numerous times and pull the best photos based on my artistic standard and edit them individually to create works of art. Showing too many files is overwhelming for anyone and I reserve the right to show what I feel reflects everyone, including myself as an artist, in their best light. Majority of the images not shown are not as strong emotionally, in composition, lighting, exposure, blinking….you get the idea.
Do you have a baby plan with sessions at newborn, 6months, 1 year?
Not at this time.
Do you offer mini sessions?
Yes. Weekdays only and must take place within 10 miles of 92028. Mini sessions are $100 and last approximately 30-45 minutes with the focus being on the children. 10-15 images in a password protected gallery. Mini sessions are not available for newborn sessions.
Do you have a studio?
I work exclusively on location with natural light.
Do you photograph family events?
Yes. I am brave enough to tackle this. I enjoy it actually and find it a nice challenge. Please inquire for more details.
Do you photograph weddings?
YES! This is new for 2010. Please contact me for more information.
Do you travel to different states for sessions?
Yes. I love to travel! Please note that travel fare and lodging is added to the cost of your session. If you live in another state and can get a few families to book together over the course of a few days that extra fee can be spread out amongst you.
If you have a question that is not listed please feel free to contact me.
