Pricing, plainly

Four ways to work together. Every one of them ends with professionally edited, high-resolution images — posed and candid in equal measure — and none of them involves a laminated upsell binder.

The breakdown

No. 01

Family Mini SessionAbout an hour · 5–10 edited images · seasonal dates

About an hour, on set dates with two slots an afternoon — 4:45 and 5:45. Same eye, same even split of posed and candid, just a tighter gallery of five to ten images. The easiest way to work together for the first time.

$225

No. 02

Engagement Session1 hour+ · 15 edited images · your location

A place that means something to you, an hour that doesn’t feel like an appointment. An even mix of posed portraits and candid frames — and if we’re having fun, we keep shooting at no extra charge.

$350

No. 03

Family Session2 hours · 30 edited images

The whole crew, one season. Roughly half the session goes to posed portraits — everyone looking, everyone flattered — and the other half to candid, documentary moments. You get both, not a token handful of one.

$700

No. 04

Family Membership2 sessions / year · 30 images each · priority booking

Document your family as it actually grows. Two full sessions a year with priority booking for peak dates, billed annually at $950. The gap between tiny and taller-than-you is shorter than anyone admits.

Booking & payment

Mini sessions

Mini sessions are booked directly on the calendar rather than by email — pick a slot, fill out the family questionnaire, and you’re done. Full family and engagement sessions still start with a hello.

Mini sessions are $225 for about an hour and five to ten edited images, with slots at 4:45 and 5:45. A $100 deposit is due at booking and holds your slot; the remaining $125 is cash or Venmo at the session.

The rest of it

When you get your photos

Mini session galleries arrive in 3–5 days. Full family and engagement galleries in 1–2 weeks. No drip-feed, no waiting a month to see what you paid for.

Rescheduling

Life happens. Reschedule whenever you need to and your deposit moves with you — no fee, no notice window, no questions. Weather is my call to make: if the light or the forecast is going to cost you the session, we move it.

Always included

Incl. 01

High-resolution, professionally edited images. Print them big — that’s what they’re for.

Incl. 02

A stress-free session built around your people, not a shot list. Kids, dogs, and grandparents welcome.

Incl. 03

Posed portraits made properly and candid moments caught as they happen, in roughly equal measure. Both halves get the same effort.
