Your session will include:
* A discussion of what you want your session to cover. It’s all about you!
* Your session – as long as it needs to be.
* My talent in optimizing composition and lighting
* Artistic enhancements and color corrections
* Pre-sorting the best images (so you don’t have to look at all of the shots in which you had one eye closed!)
* 4×6″ prints in a proof book (because nothing beats real prints!)
* A CD of approximately 20-30 (& often more) fully edited images.
* Access to gorgeous professionally printed enlargements at very reasonable prices (e.g. 5×7″ for $7)
* Loads of laughs and a fun session in which you’re never told to sit on a stool and say “Cheese!”
Maternity:
I prefer to do maternity sessions between 34-36 weeks. Please bring any props you would like incorporated. Dresses, flowing shirts and fitted clothing to enhance your beautiful belly are classic! Session time averages about 1 hour.
Newborn:
Newborn sessions should be done between birth and ten days, and the price includes pictures of the parents with the baby. Bring both a long sleeved black shirt as well as anything else you’d like to use. Siblings should not accompany parents to this session. Newborn bundles look most natural in their birthday suit, but please feel free to bring any outfits that you’d like to incorporate, as well as any props, headbands, bracelets, diaper covers and blankets that you think would enhance the photos. Session time averages 1-2.5 hours depending on feedings and cuddle time.
Combination Maternity/Newborn Shoot:
See above.
Babies & Children: $
Brightly coloured clothing and accessories make for awesome images. A clothing change or two is okay, but younger children tend to get fussy with changes so please keep that in mind. Bring any props or accessories that you would like included. Cakes & balloons are great! Session time averages 1 – 1.5 hours depending upon the child(ren). If your child is sick, please reschedule.
Birthday Child mini-session:
This session is a special one just for the birthday girl or birthday boy. I recommend number shirts or special outfits, balloons, a wrapped present or two, and a cake to dig in to. For a first birthday, I prefer to do this session in studio, but for older children natural light is best. If your child is sick, please reschedule. Session time is 30 minutes.
Family:
Session time averages 1-1.5 hours.
Holiday Mini-sessions:
The holiday mini-session is perfect for fall. It includes a few family photos, individual shots of each person and a custom designed Christmas card. Sessions time is 15 minutes.
No More School Pictures!:
Don’t rely on the two minute shoot from the school gymnasium. With this 15-20 minute session, you get a CD with 2 fully-edited, copyright-waived, natural light images of your child. In addition to this, a full selection of professionally printed & treated sheets are available to you at great prices – wallets, standard sizes and large canvases. See the photos before you decide if you want to order anything – you’re in control!
Portrait session:
This is a session just for you. Grad photos, senior portraits, and just because. Session time averages 1 hour.
Engagement/Couples:
Session time averages 1 hour.
By offering you a CD of images, you pay only for my time and expertise and can print what you want, where you want and when you want. With the copyright waived, you can legally print my images and use them in your digital scrapbooking projects. I include watermarked images for use on blogs, Facebook and other social media. Only watermarked images may be used in a public domain. I retain ownership of the images and retain the right to use them online and in promotional materials at any time but simply grant permission for you to use them as well.
The original CD you are given will be based on my choice of artistic enhancements while incorporating any special requests from you.   At any time I am happy to edit an image for you to a specific crop, colour or effect at your request. Each edit is $20 and must be prepaid.
If you prefer, prints are available at the following prices:
4×6 – $4
5×7 – $7
8X10 – $10
8×12 – $10
11×14 – $15
12×18 – $20
12×12 – $20
If you opt not to receive a CD and order individual prints instead, you will receive $25 off your maternity/newborn/children session fee or $50 off your family session fee. I print with a high end professional lab and can do gallery wraps, leather albums and much more if you desire.
Though I try to keep my prices reasonable while not giving my labour and experience away for free, you may still wonder…
Why does quality photography cost more than Superstore or Walmart? Read this for a great answer!
