How This Works
$125 deposit required that will be applied to the final total. The deposit will be credited to the plan you choose. The remainder is due after the session. You will get a downloadable online gallery within a couple days. Once paid, let me know how many families, total number of people, where you are staying, and cell# so we can communicate directly in case weather changes plans. Scroll to the bottom for the PayPal option.
Credit Card Payment
Please don't bribe your children! Telling them they will get something after their picture is taken is counter productive. In a child's mind once I take ONE picture they think the session is over and they are done for the evening.
Prints: Large Prints over 8x10, canvas wraps and other home decor products will have extensive edits like removing people out of the background, and switching faces in group shots if there is an available option.
Digital Files: You will get an online gallery for viewing, downloading and ordering prints. I don't put a number of how many pictures you get as this depends on your family. Each Hi-Resolution file will get basic editing for exposure, color balance, and minor skin touchups made available in a downloadable online gallery usually in 2 days. You can take the digital files and get printed wherever you want. I HIGHLY recommend getting prints of your files. Digital files will need to be archived every couple years as media degrades or there are new formats that makes old media storage obsolete. I do not offer print support once you take the digital files to another lab. Minor touchups such as removing people from the background, fixing fly away hair etc. on your favorite 10 images included. More extensive edits may have additional charges.
Additional Editing: Editing such as body slimming, removing condos, and people in the background might be extra in some cases. Depending on the extent of editing you want it can be up to $15 extra per image. There are some images I deliver that may not be technically perfect but it may be a fun moment from the session. As such it will sometimes take a graphic artist to get it technically correct. This could be a candid moment and there's a huge condo in the background. It would be cheaper to pay the park fees and get a natural looking setting than pay to remove condos and beach furniture after the fact.
Deluxe Album: You can order a deluxe album through the gallery. The print lab will handle the design process, choosing photos and printing of a specialty album. You will be able to proof the album and add or subtract photos from the album. When you get the link to your proof gallery you will see a tab with this option. There is a DIY option for those that want to design their own photo books and is subject to the minimum order discount.
Helpful Tips: Relax and go with the flow. We can shoot ideas you see on online. However it needs to be limited to your favorite 4 ideas. The ideas may look great on Pinterest but the reality is some of those may have taken hours to pull off or the conditions were perfect for the idea. It is good to have expectations but overthinking can cause stress on children and missed opportunities. Light can change minute to minute so the time spent trying to force a shot could be spent taking advantage of the conditions given to us.
If there is a shot you just need to have please tell me upfront so we can make sure to get that shot. I spend a few moments getting group shots done them move on to other shots. If the group shot is THE shot you want, then lets spend some time on it. If the posed shots are less important and you want candid shots, then we will do quick group shots and move on to the candid portraits.
Bad Weather: Unless there is a region wide front moving through I do not cancel. If weather does cancel a session, the deposit will be refunded. Scattered thunderstorms are always a possibility during the summer so we are always under the chance of rain during the summer. They move in and move out quickly providing great backgrounds. Also I am not dependent on natural light. I schedule one family for a sunrise or sunset unless it is a mini-session. This allows us to move the session up or down during the day depending on the weather situation. Take a look at this page Weather Conditions for an idea of how typical weather situations look.
