"Photography is not about cameras, gadgets and gizmos.  

Photography is about photographers.  

A camera didn't make a great picture any more than a typewriter wrote a great novel."

Session Details:

  1. Final balance payments are due at the time of the session.  They can also be paid before arriving.  The session will be cancelled if payment is not rendered at the time of the session.  Payment is accepted in cash, check or venmo (and paypal upon request only).  Credit/debit cards are not accepted in studio.  Any payments by credit/debit must be made a minimum of 24 hours before your session.
  2. All sessions should be booked a minimum of 2 weeks (I recommend 4-6 weeks if possible) before expected date.  Less than 2 weeks notice is not guaranteed and is subject to my availability.  For newborn sessions your “booked date” is penciled in for your due date but we will adjust it as needed once baby arrives.
  3. Digital download images with print release are provided at no additional cost for every session (unless noted).  You are not required to choose which images.  You will receive all of the edited images from your session (if I edit it, you will get it at no extra cost).
  4. Prints and collages are available a la carte through my professional printing lab; but are not required.  You may use your downloaded images to have prints made anywhere you choose.
  5. CDs are no longer available.  A complimentary USB flashdrive is provided for all newborn sessions (additional sessions may be added to this USB at no charge).  Replacement USBs are available for purchase ($25 each).  USBs are not provided for other sessions unless purchased.
  6.  RUSH processing- $50 for edited images guaranteed within 48 hrs of session.  Must be paid at the time of the session.
  7. COPYRIGHTED AND LICENSED CHARACTERS AND THEMES will not be used for any type of session.  Your child can wear clothing that depicts characters (provided by you) but we can only do an “inspired” type of session with props that will be vague and will not include actual copyrighted characters. You may bring props as long as they are not licensed characters.  There are no exceptions to this rule.
