Amanda & Angie

I got a call from a woman in Ohio who was traveling to DC to marry her partner.  I was pretty excited to work with these wonderful women and I'm glad I got to meet them.  Without further ado:  the beautiful Amanda and Angie.

A cozy family shoot

I recently had the opportunity to slow down and do an in-home family session.  This was the first time I needed my flashes in a professional setting and I was a little nervous.  I hope it didn't show too much in my work.  Here is their beautiful family.  Enjoy!

New pricing effective November 1, 2013

Here's my most current fee schedule.  Please feel free to ask if you have questions.

Time:
$65 for 30 minute sessions
$100 for 60 minute sessions
(ex.  90 minute sessions are $165)

To give you some examples of sessions:

• Newborn sessions usually take about 30 minutes with no outfit changes. 
• Family sessions usually take about 60-90 minutes depending on family size.  
• Engagement sessions usually take about 60-90 minutes, depending on what the couple wants.  
• Weddings take 4-8 hours.  

Why $100 per hour?  I spend an hour with a client and a minimum of 2 hours at home editing the photos I took.

CDs (per CD used):
$10 for up to 20 photos
$15 for 21-50 photos
$20 for 51-100 photos

Prints/photobooks/canvases/greeting cards:
Prices vary, but packages start at $20.  Call for the most up-to-date prices.

Travel:
30 minutes included in price above
31-45 minutes $10
46-60 minutes $30
61-75 minutes $35
76-90 minutes $50

• 50% of hourly price due at time of scheduling with remainder (plus applicable travel charges) due on or by session date.
• 100% of print costs due at time of order.
• Previous clients receive 10% off time, CDs, and prints.  

Please allow up to 2 weeks from viewing to receive prints or CDs,  weeks for specialty prints.  Online albums will be available for 6 months from the date of your session.  You'll have the opportunity to order CDs or prints from that album as long as it's available.  If you have a multiple sitting session (maternity progression, newborn through 1 year, etc) your album will be available for 6 months after the date of your last session.

Ask about donating to my autism efforts.  Any donations over $50 will receive special recognition.  For a little background, my oldest child is autistic.  We go to the Autism Speaks walk every fall at Richmond International Raceway.  In 2014, I'm adding a 5k run for the Autism Society in the late spring.

I've decided to charge by the hour with separate charges for CDs and prints.  I occasionally run package deals (session and CD and/or prints).  If you have your heart set on a print deal, give me a call.  We'll work something out.

Even if you think you can't afford a photographer for your special event, call me.  I pride myself on being affordable because I've been there.  We couldn't afford to hire a wedding photographer, so I asked my dad to take pictures for us.  While they were fine, they weren't nearly the quality we would have received from a professional.  In fact, I have better quality photos from other guests.  That's why I'm here.  I'm a photographer because I love it.  I'm not looking to get rich doing this.  I take payments, I occasionally give discounts, and I'll work with your budget.  I want you to have the photos you deserve.

I accept cash, PayPal, and major credit cards.  I cannot accept personal checks at this time.  Prices and fees subject to change at any time.
