We offer two types of family packages that we can customize to fit your needs. If you are looking for fine art portraits, a studio session might be the perfect option for you. Portrait sessions include posed shots in a neutral or brick backdrop. Sessions can last between 45 – 90 minutes and you’ll receive high-resolution digital images and a print release. While my focus will be on getting great (posed) portraits, I can’t help but include a handful of those candid moments in between.
Lifestyle sessions are an emphasis on a “day-in-the-life” style documentation. Take me along on your favorite Saturday morning adventure, or let me be a fly on the wall during a relaxing afternoon at home. These sessions are held at your home or someplace outdoors (when the weather permits) capturing real, lifestyle moments. The focus here is to show everyone in the picture having a good time. Sessions can last up to 2 hours and you’ll receive high-resolution digital images and a print release. sessions
I take a photojournalistic approach to all of my work, so no matter what you choose, expect to do more than just sit and smile when we meet!
FAQS
Yes! You’ll receive selected and corrected full-size, unwatermarked JPG files. All of our sessions come with a digital download of high-res images and a digital print release. We’ll then deliver your customized photos and any additional products you’ve ordered.
Yes we do. Every image we deliver is post produced with our unique signature style of post-production. This involves color correction, exposure adjustment, selective black and white processing, clarity adjustments, tone-mapping, and other corrections. Many photographers will not post produce any images, or will only post produce “select” images from your shoot. This means that you may have pictures that are too dark, have strange skin tones or other common photography flaws.
All dates are reserved once we receive your signed contract and deposit.
Portraits & Small Business Photography will generally be available for online viewing approximately one – two weeks after the shoot. Weddings normally take 3-4 weeks.
No, we do not. We eliminate duplicate images, test shots, missed focused shots, shots with bad expressions and other images that may dilute the overall product delivery. We don’t expect you to have the expertise or the time to zoom into each image to select the one with the sharpest focus, so we spend hours doing that on our end. Candid laughs and emotional tears are some of the best images from the day. Unfortunately, they can also yield some unflattering facial expressions. We might snap a few extras of any of these moments to make sure we have a great shot with the ideal expression for the moment. With our expertise of processing hundreds of images each year, we may eliminate ones that we feel are duplicates and only deliver the best one.
Our packages have been carefully curated and priced according to their value, so the short answer is “No”. However, no two shoots are alike and as such, we would love to create a custom package that suits exactly what you need! If you are working on a smaller budget, we have incredible wedding coverage available beginning at $895. Please contact us for details!
While I don’t work directly with a hair/makeup artist, I’m happy to provide a list of recommendations upon request. Please be sure to allow plenty of extra time in case your appointment runs longer than expected.
I rarely show previews during the session — not because I’m trying to keep a secret or because you look bad, but because I’m trying to keep the energy up and help you stay focused and positive. I’ve found that if we stop too often to review images, it’s easy to get caught up in what you “should” look like, and you’ll start looking tense. I know it takes a lot to trust a stranger with something as personal as portraits, but I promise that I will go above and beyond to make sure you love how you look in your images!
