Sessions

What each session costs, and what you actually walk away with.

Four session types, all on location, all natural light. Prices start where they start because every shoot is a little different. Nothing is bundled in that you did not ask for.

Good to know

The questions I get every week.

Anything else, just call. I would rather answer it now than have you wondering.

(555) 555-0123
Do I have to pay upfront?
A small booking fee holds the date and comes off the total. The rest is due the day of the session.
What if it rains?
We move it, no charge. Overcast is my favorite light anyway, so drizzle is usually the only thing that stops us.
Can we go further than 20 miles?
Yes. Anything past the towns I cover adds a small travel fee, quoted before you book so there are no surprises.
Who owns the photos?
You can print, post and share every image you receive, for as long as you like. I keep the right to show a few in the portfolio, and I will ask first if children are in them.
