Session Fee
I charge $75 for one hour of portrait photography. Longer sessions are welcome, especially if you want to travel to multiple locations or try multiple outfits and poses. Additional photography time can be added for $50 per hour.
For Senior Portraits, I will work with you at a flat rate of $100 for up to three hours of photography, with as many locations and costume changes as you can fit into that time.
I charge a negotiated rate for events ranging from $25 to $75 per hour, depending on a variety of factors, including how formal or informal the event is and how challenging the photography will be.
I photograph weddings, too! Rates range from $400 for just-the-basics to $1,000 for all-the-frills. Let's talk!
Schedule
Contact me to set up a time that's convenient for both of us. I often have mornings, evenings, or weekends free, and with advance notice, can usually schedule a time during the day as well.
Delivery and Products
After your photo session, each photo is individually edited and adjusted for contrast, tone, and color, a process that usually takes about a week, or sometimes longer for more extensive photo sessions. I'll put together a portfolio of the best images, at least twenty per hour of photography, and post them in a directory on this website, which you may share with friends and from which you may choose prints of any quantity and size. Prints are available through my website from MPix, a professional online photo service with excellent quality and reasonable prices. Or, you may download your images and print them wherever you like. Canvas prints and other specialty options, mounting, and framing are also available through MPix.
Additional charges
- Travel: Photo shoots at locations more than one hour's travel away from Eatonville, Washington, as measured by Google Maps, will require an additional fee of $50 per hour of driving time (one way). I may make an exception for photography at Mount Rainier National Park, since I'll be there for my day job anyway.
- Expenses: Additional expenses for parking fees, entrance fees, props, or the rental of special equipment or spaces may be added to the cost of the session. These additions will be agreed upon in advance.
- Makeup: If you would like the services of a makeup artist (MUA), you may either provide one yourself or request my assistance in finding one. All such arrangements and payments will be made directly between you and the MUA, and the additional cost will vary depending on what you need.
