Pricing

The investment you put into standard sitting fees covers the cost of travel, set-up, and shoot time, uploading and backing-up of images,  any light editing of the preview CD, and shipping and handling of the preview CD that is sent to your home following the shoot.   After you select your favorites to purchase, your selected images are professionally edited for corrective and artistic effects in a way no cookie cutter studio can match.  We also offer professional quality Endura prints that will withstand the test of time without breaking the bank.  The value of your photos will only increase with time as you look back on this passage of your life’s journey.

We believe your memories should belong to you and the future generations of your family who can truly cherish them.  To make this possible, we think outside of the box to keep our pricing extremely affordable.  One of the ways we do this is by only editing a small number of images after your shoot (approximately 20; rather than 60-100 edited by competitors).  These 20 edited images are the ones we post online for you to share.  We don’t want to limit your options, however, so we provide you with a preview CD that includes almost all the pictures from the shoot in a SOOC (straight out of camera) or only very lightly edited state, shrunken, and watermarked to protect the copyright.  Many photographers would cringe to let you even look at unedited images, but editing fewer images up front keeps our sitting fees lower without jeopardizing the quality of the final product .  A sitting fee with many other local photographers costs $200; ours is only $90.  Through other local photographers owning a digital copy of your shoot may cost $500 and you must buy every images as a package; we have digital copy packages including a sitting fee that start as low as $95; you only buy the images you love not the whole package.  The price difference says it all; not the quality of our work.

In addition to everyday values, we do offer specials from time to time, as well as casting calls (free sitting fees for specific types of shoots), so please “like” us on Facebook to be one of the first to know!
