How much is your session fee?
The session fee is $200 for up to 4 people. Each person there after is $25 each. Pets are treated equally. Your gallery will contain minimum 35 edited fine art images in a password protected gallery.
This fee covers the cost of time, travel, shooting, editing, gallery hosting, and any sort of administrative correspondence that occurs. Prints are not included. Travel fees may apply.
Please contact me to further discuss 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 approximately 2 weeks from the date of our session
How do I order prints?
Order your prints via online ordering system. I am always happy to consult via phone at your convenience.
How will I get my prints?
I ship them straight to your home or office.
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 or repetition…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 or family 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. Coverage starts with a high resolution disk of color corrected images start @ $2300.
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.
