Private Portraits Information
Portrait sessions should be relaxed, collaborative experiences created for individuals and families who want timeless, authentic images. That is exactly what I intend to do.
I use a comfortable mix of candid and posed photography while gently guiding you through poses, expressions, and locations to help you look and feel your best. I am not afraid to be a little creative either. So if you would like that kind of flexibility, I encourage it.
With my clear direction and artistic vision, the entire process feels easy and enjoyable. Following this guidance results in natural, flattering portraits you’ll cherish for years.
30-Minute
Mini Session
$150
The Mini Session is perfect for individuals, couples, and small families who want high-quality portraits without a big time commitment.
In just 30 minutes you’ll receive up to 10 professionally edited digital images with flexible location options and up to 2 outfit changes.
I’ll guide you through a mix of natural and posed shots so we capture genuine expressions and flattering portraits efficiently. It’s an approachable and affordable way to refresh your family photos or create personal portraits you’ll love.
1 Hour
Session
$210
The 1-Hour Portrait Session offers more time and creative freedom for deeper and potentially more creative storytelling.
This session includes up to 20 edited digital images with up to 3 outfit changes at a location of your choice.
Just like the 30-minute mini, this session allows for a natural flow between candid moments and intentional posed portraits, giving us time to explore different lighting, backgrounds, and moods.
Many clients find this the ideal balance for family portraits, individual branding, or milestone sessions that feel relaxed yet intentional.
Additional time
Instead of pricing additional time per hour, I decided I wanted to break that hour into 30 minute chunks to not only be affordable for my clients, but to also account for unexpected and welcome surprises alike. Typically clients who use this extra time enjoy the experience and would like more value from their session.
This extra time is available at $65 per half hour, and up to 2 extra hours.
Prints
If you would like to hold your memories in your hand, I do also offer printed images at a $3 per photo print.
Currently this is limited to in-house 4x6 images. These are the perfect size for gifts to loved ones. If you would like to explore different sizes, please reach out to learn rates.
FAQ
Frequently Asked
I strive to make an experience so positive there will be No Negatives.
My goal as a photographer is to capture the best real smiles and expressions from my subjects. That way I capture the person, and not just the face they are trying to make. To do this, I employ every skill I've gathered over my many years of being a photographer, such as professionally guiding my subject into a flattering pose or using small comedy to produce a laugh.
Occasionally an idea for a photo comes into my head, and I am not shy about sharing my vision. Doing this, I have created many shots that clients enjoy.
Why do you charge extra time by the half-hour?
Instead of charging you an extra hour, I thought it would be best to break it down. By doing this, I make my services more affordable if you require more time.
What is the typical turnaround time?
Turnaround time is typically within 2 business days after the shoot, depending on the package chosen and whether or not extra time was added.
How do you handle licensing?
In the licensing agreement, I grant you full commercial usage rights for your business (websites, menus, social media, prints, etc.), while I retain the right to use the images in my own portfolio and promotional materials.
Do you offer prints?
Yes! After the images are edited and sent to you: prints, currently only supporting 4x6 images, they will be mailed to you via USPS. This process, after digital delivery, takes on average 5 business days.
Prints are optional, and affordable at $3 a print.
Can I request Additional editing for images?
Yes. Each package includes professional retouching with up to five edits per image (color correction, background cleanup, minor adjustments, etc.).
