Portrait Photography Information
Pricing - For family portraits I charge a sitting fee plus the cost of
proofs. The results of the sitting will be delivered in a keepsake proof
book, and a typical sitting will generate between 50 and 100 images.
Payment is not required the day of the sitting. You will be billed with the
proofs, and subsequent enlargements will be sent upon receipt of initial
payment.
Proofs and Enlargements - Your proofs will be delivered to you in a
convenient proof book. Enlargements come in the usual variety of sizes,
and can be either standard or custom. Should you have any preference
for a particular type, size or print style, please do not hesitate to discuss
it with me. I shoot with a digital camera, which allows for enlargements
to be printed in either black and white or color.
Additional Options - Proofing options are numerous, and include an
online web gallery, proof albums and enlarged proofs. A large variety of
album and card options are available, as is a pricing discount when
ordering many copies of the same image. Please call if you have any
questions, need any further information or would like to see a portfolio.
Some More Information - Sittings usually last about one hour,
depending on light, weather and the cooperation of young children. As
far as clothing during the shoot is concerned, please wear whatever
makes you most comfortable. If you do not have a preferred shooting
location of your own, I know many great spots, am always on the
lookout for more, and will gladly discuss the options with you. I usually
shoot in the late afternoons and evenings, to take advantage of the nice
light.
