Locations
It’s true! I do travel! I’ve shot both nationally and internationally in places like Mexico, Hawaii, Oregon, Utah, Idaho, California, Texas, Ohio, London and Africa! I don’t charge thousands of dollars to shoot in the location of your choice, I make it EASY!…simply pay for my transportation there and 36 hours before and after your event or session, in a hotel. There’s reasons for the 36 hours, so just let me know where you’d like to do your wedding or session and I’ll give you a customized quote tailored just for you! It’s THAT simple
The Investment
Packages? We’ve got ‘em! Individual or custom pricing? Yep, we’ve got that too! I believe that each client is unique and tailor my services to you. You can visit the “Options” page for different services I offer.
Images
Everyone likes to know what they’re getting with each session. For Lifestyle sessions I present 35-75 images for you to view in a private, online gallery. Wedding clients receive a variable amount of images depending on their event, but typically receive anywhere from 200-600 images. Elopements and Non Traditional Wedding Portraits will vary but I typically deliver 75-125 images for that coverage. All images have expert editing with color and exposure correction done. For information on extensive retouching, please visit the “Your Digital Files” page.
Digital Files and Archives
I do offer digital files! You can purchase individual, fully retouched files for $75 each, or we also offer digital negative DVD’s with all wedding covereage and some lifestyle sessions. If your album is included in your coverage, if you order an album separately, or if you order any 16×20 or larger print or image, you automatically recieve your fully retouched files in those products at no extra charge. Please visit “Your Digital Files” for more information.
Photograph-ER or Photograph-ERS?
For Lifestyle sessions, I am your one and only photographer- you get me all to yourself. For weddings, you get to choose! Choices are always great right? Many collections include some sort of 2nd photographer coverage throughout the day or you can add a 2nd photographer or evern a 3rd from the a la carte list.
Consultations
I love to get to know my clients! In your consultation, we’ll go over your ideas for your coverage and we’ll both see if we’re a good fit. My clients often end up becoming my friends and I take pride in the service I deliver to my clients.
Booking Me
I totally wish I could see everyone that contacts me for a session! For weddings I’m typically booked out 6-12 months in advance. Sometimes I’m booked out as far as 18 months in advance if it’s a busy date that’s in high demand (think 10. 10. 2010 or 10. 11. 2012). If you’d like to book your wedding with me, a $500 retainer is due with a signed contract. If you book less than 30 days before your wedding, the balance of your package is due with your contract.
Lifestyle sessions are booked out 6-8 weeks in advance. If you’d like to reserve your date for a Lifestyle session, the session fee of $500 is due at the time of booking. The only weekend date I work is Saturday; Sunday’s are only available for a limited number of weddings as this is a day I set aside for my family and religion. Saturday is usually the first date to fill up for any kind of session or event, there is much more flexibility during the week. If you would like a weekend date, I strongly suggest that you book this date as soon as you know that I’m the photographer for you. I try my very best to accommodate last minute requests if there is availability in my schedule.
Weather
I offer on-location photography. Living in Washington, bad weather may prevent having a successful session on location. If the weather is rainy or extremely overcast, you will be contacted the morning of the shoot to reschedule. If you’re up to it, I also meet in my clients’ homes or at another indoor location.
Viewing Images
Normal process is 2-3 weeks. The reason clients love my work is due the care of each image during AND after the photo session. I strive to give my clients plenty of choices. Remember, great images take time! I will however, blog my favorite images within a couple of days of your session. This is your sneak peek!
Delivery of Images
Please allow about 3 weeks for delivery of your images from the moment you place your order. Longer if you have ordered albums or custom products. I understand that clients are very excited to see their images, but it is important not to rush this process. I inspect every single image to make sure everything is perfect. If it isn’t, I have it reprinted before you even see the print. You want the prints that grace your walls to be amazing. Rushing prints is simply not the way to accomplish this. If a rush order is needed, this *must* be discussed at the time the order is placed so that certain processes can be put in place. There is an additional fee for rush orders of $75.
