Portrait information
I take a hybrid posed/lifestyle approach during my portrait sessions, capturing a combination of camera-aware and interactive, emotional, and movement-based images for your gallery. This approach is perfect for immediate family sessions, maternity sessions, children sessions, couple sessions, engagement sessions, high school or college senior sessions, and in-home newborn sessions.
All of my portrait packages include high resolution edited digital files with permission to print. If you want to purchase high quality prints, canvas, or vivid metals from me after your digital files have been delivered, you can do so at very reasonable prices. Your galleries arrive with print releases, so you can print your images on your own as well. I want you to love my photographs and display them in your home, so I will gladly recommend printing labs to use, as well as those to avoid.
I schedule my portrait sessions to take place on Mondays through Thursdays, because my weekends are dedicated to photographing weddings and (on my rare weekend day off) spending time with my family. There may be an additional fee for weekend scheduling if you cannot accommodate a Monday through Thursday appointment. Outdoor sessions are typically scheduled to begin 1.5-2 hours before sunset for ideal lighting; in-home sessions are scheduled for morning or early afternoon when your home has the best natural light. For extended family sessions or groups of more than 5 people, please contact me for a custom quote.
Do you love my photographs, but are bummed because we’re not local to each other? No worries! Don’t let distance stand in the way of you receiving the images that your heart desires! I will gladly travel to you as long as my expenses are covered!
