The Process:

All sessions begin with an in-person consultation (sometimes a phone call makes more sense) to get to know each other and give clients the opportunity to ask questions. This is the time where I begin customizing the experience for the individual family or subject. The Creative Fee will be needed at this time to secure your session.

The second phase is the session itself. I will meet you at the location discussed during the consultation and create stunning portraits for you. You may choose multiple locations and wardrobes but be aware that time is limited and we want to spend as much as possible interacting to create your portraits.

Next meeting is the viewing. I will come to you again, this time with a portable projector so you can view the images. The images will be individually enhanced and projected at the proper size to make an educated decision when choosing sizes to fill the wall space over your sofa or mantle without overwhelming the decor. Please have all pertinent parties present for this as there will be only one viewing due to the considerable time I devote to each client.

Finally, I will deliver the prints to you after carefully inspecting for sharpness, color rendition, and overall quality.

Our Creative Fee is $100 which covers the time necessary to customize the session for each client. This includes the on-location session which usually lasts about 1 hour, the post-processing enhancements, viewing time, and delivery of the prints for your enjoyment. Prints are not included in this fee.

Print collections begin at $215 and a la carte purchasing is available including digital files.
