the fine print

 

The session fee is for the photographer's time, talent, and expertise.  It includes travel to the location of your choice within a 25 mile radius of the studio (additional travel fees beyond 25 miles) and the un-rushed unique capture of life during your session.  Also included is the individualized post processing of approximately 35-45 carefully hand edited images that will be presented to you in your own private proofing session within 2 weeks post session.  Unless otherwise specified, portrait prints, products, or digital images are not included with the session fee and are purchased separately. 

 

Session fees are to be paid in full at the time of booking with a signed contract and is 100% non-refundable. If contract and session fee is not received 14 days prior to your session date, your session will be canceled and your spot forfeited.

-Session fees cover immediate family only, $25 each for additional individuals, or a custom quote for large multi generation families.

-The session fee is required as a retainer to secure the photographer for all sessions. Your session may be rescheduled up to one time unless illness or weather was a factor, for those instances we will happily accommodate as many times as needed, within reason. We ask that rescheduled date take place within 60 days or the retainer will be forfeited or applied to a later session.

-Sick babies and parents are not allowed in the studio, due to the work I do with newborns it is very important that I keep a strict healthy environment.  If you must cancel an appointment, please call at least 24 hours in advance to reschedule.

-All sessions include up to 25 miles of travel in any direction. Additional mileage incurs a travel charge of $.70/mile.
