I want to help you document your life and/or the life of your family. Capture you as you are right now, because you’ll only be this way for a short period of time. Help you to archive these memories so that many years from now you can look back and fondly remember what you once had. A session with me is comfortable, fun, and uncomplicated. I spend time getting to know my clients so that I can authentically capture their personality, and we work together in the planning of the session so that we can come up with something that is uniquely you. HOW A PORTRAIT SESSION WITH ME WORKS: To begin the process, please first contact me by phone or email and I’ll explain everything in more detail and answer any questions you may have. We can plan a time to meet in person so that we can get to know each other better and so that I can show you samples of my work (we can also do this over the phone if you wish). We’ll talk about which locations you’d be interested in using, what kind of photos you are looking for, etc. At the meeting I will also give you a packet filled with all the information you need so you can take it home, look it over, and then decide if you want to book a session with me. Once you’ve decided, give me a call, and we will confirm a date and time for the photo session, as well as what locations you want to go with. Then, after the photo session we will set up a time to meet and view your proofs. Your proofs will be ready for viewing within two weeks after your photo session. At the viewing session I will show you all of your images and help you decide what prints you want to order. And within a few weeks you’ll have your photos! The cost for a portrait session with me is $125. That is for a session lasting up to 2 hours, up to 2 locations, and as many outfit changes as you'd like. Then once the photos are edited you can choose what prints you would like to purchase. I offer print Collections (Packages) or the option for you to choose a la carte. The possibilities for a portrait session are virtually endless. Maybe you want to do a photo session playing in the snow with your kids, or one with your children all dressed up for Halloween. Maybe for your senior portraits you want to do a session at a carnival, at the beach, or in front of an interesting storefront downtown. The location can be anywhere you’d like, even the comfort of your own home if you wish. Whatever you choose, we will customize the session around any concept you want.
