PORTRAIT
What is the cost and what does it include?
We know how much fun it is to use your portraits when and how you’d like! Happily, all photography includes high resolution, copyright free images. These may be used to make larger prints, upload to a website or social media.
And don’t you just love a polished, beautiful portrait? That’s why we include retouched professional images along with proofs. So you have it all! What could be better?
We will happily give quotes! While each person’s needs will be different, a generalized description is as follows:
Headshots start at $135.00 and include a fully retouched high-resolution image. Personal branding portfolios start at $325.00.
Family, Senior and Couples’ portrait sessions start at $438.00 and include the session, retouched professional prints on professional paper plus high resolution downloadable proofs on secure website. We do have mini-sessions starting at $285.00 with limited seasonal availability.
What if I have an outdoor session and the weather is bad?
We know your portraits are very important and you have invested in this special time. Our website portfolio presents examples of all types of weather, including cloudy with soft lighting, windy or bright sunny days. Look through the images and if the expected weather for your scheduled date is not satisfactory, we’ll be happy to reschedule as available.
What is the refund policy?
If your session is outdoor and rained out with no opportunity for rescheduling, your deposit is totally refundable. Other deposits are 90% refundable if requested within 45 days, 50% refundable within 30 days. Unfortunately, they are not refundable for weekends or major holidays.
Do you share images on social media or post on your website?
Yes, in our contract we do mention this possibility. Knowing what a photographer’s work looks like is professional business practice. However, your image privacy is very important, and we respect this. If you would prefer we not post please let us know in your email correspondence.

What is the Process and Time Frame?
Approximate delivery time for the proofing is given at the end of session and usually 7 to 10 days.
The images are then edited for best content. This process evaluates all options needed and sent high resolution to the person in charge of selections.
Artwork is then applied to the images needed. Turn-around time approximations
It’s great to have the project director available during the actual photography!
If photographing outdoors, how does weather factor in?
If special event related and rain or shine ‘the show must go on’, then so shall the photography.
However, if product photography is dependent on good lighting, then we work with the weather. Occasionally we’ll need to modify the timing, or the photography will take place when best lighting.
Do you offer drone photography?
Yes, we partner with a company whose specialty is drone photography. Please let us know the details for a project quote.
