Details and investment

Digital Files + Printed Artwork = A Match Made in Heaven

If you’ve ever shopped for art, you know that prices range greatly… and that’s certainly true with photography as well. As with other art, those prices aren’t easily compared - it’s not apples to apples.

 

With a session fee of $250 and collections starting at $700, you’ll find that my work is neither the least nor the most expensive in the area, but it does represent one of the best values. With over a decade of experience, a perfect review record on Google, and a satisfaction guarantee that I take very seriously, you can invest confidently knowing you're in skilled and experienced hands.

How it Works

When you inquire about a session, here's what you can expect...

Booking your session1Step

If you've taken a look around and love my photos then let's work together! Contact me and receive all the details about my collection options and let's get the ball rolling!

 

You can choose to book just one session or join my membership and have everything documented from pregnancy to baby's 1st birthday. Most of my clients join the membership to take advantage of the savings. Keep scrolling to learn more!

Planning your session2Step

Once we've decided on a time and date and officially put your session on the calendar, I'll send you a getting ready guide that will walk you through everything from choosing outfits to strategies for getting kids to cooperate.

 

I'll also send you a little questionnaire to get to know you a bit better so I can best prepare for your session and make sure we create exactly what you want.

During your session3Step

Sessions are typically 45 minutes (newborns are longer), but I don't charge by the hour, so if there's a wardrobe malfunction or child meltdown, we have flexibility.

 

I'm going to help you with posing and getting your little ones to smile. Your job is to relax and go with the flow! My sessions are about capturing your family interacting with each other naturally with my gentle coaching on setting the scene to make great images. All you have to do is follow my instruction, play with your baby or kids and spouse, focus on them so I can focus on you!

Choosing a collection4Step

About 2-3 weeks after your session you'll receive your online slideshow where you can see all your photos from the comfort of your home and then pick your collection. Every collection includes a set amount of digital files and a print credit to get started displaying your favorite photos in your home.

 

Once you've chosen your collection, you'll have access to the gallery for a full month to download your favorite digitals and spend your print credit on gorgeous artwork. You can also share the gallery with friends and family!

Investment

Fine art portraits are shot in a way that's meant for living room walls and heirloom photo albums.

I specialize in working with mamas-to-be, little ones, and families to capture memories and milestones.

What most families choose to document their biggest moments

 

Created to keep your baby's first year well photographed. Believe it or not, memories will fade, but photographs can help you recall those tired, foggy days snuggling your perfect little babe.

WHAT'S INCLUDED:

  • 2 - 4 sessions of your choosing (maternity, newborn, milestones, birthday, family session, etc) over an 18 month period, for one creative fee, $500. if you book a maternity and newborn session, you are automatically enrolled into the membership

ARE THERE DISCOUNTS FOR MULTIPLE SESSIONS?

Absolutely. The Collective Membership is chosen by almost half of our clients, as it offers a discount on the creative fees. If you are planning on visiting us yearly, this is the way to go!

Are digital files and artwork included?

We firmly believe that you should see your final portraits before choosing or committing to any products, so digital files, albums, and framed artwork aren't included in your Creative Fee. After each session, you select one of three collections that each include a set number of digital files and a certain amount of print credit which you can use to print what you need in your home.

CAN MY WHOLE FAMILY BE INCLUDED?

Always. We are family-centered and encourage the whole family to be a part of every session, whether it's maternity, newborn, a milestone session, or family cake smash. It's always sweeter when you are surrounded by those you love.

tallahassee Family Photography Q & A

Q: How long is a Tallahassee family photography session?

A: Typical family sessions are 45 minutes long. Though I block off one hour for your session, if we need a bit more time, we can. Children are usually checked out after about 45 minutes.

 

Q: How many photos can I expect from our session?

A: About 40-50

 

Q: My kids are sometimes wild. What if they aren't cooperating on the day of our session?

A: I'm the mom of 4 children and I can assure of you of two things. 1, they won't do anything to surprise me. I've seen it all! 2. We all have our days. I have a lot of tricks up my sleeve to encourage your children to play along. If they need a minute to warm up, or calm down, we give them that. Please don't worry. Worst case scenario, we'll reschedule. However, in 10+ years in business, I've never had to reschedule a session because of uncooperative children. Also, we'll be scheduling your session during the time of day that your young children are usually at their best.

 

Q: What do we wear for our Tallahassee family photos?

A: Once you book your session, I'll send you a prep guide with suggestions on this. Also, when you book with me, you have access to me to run ideas by. I often have clients who will send me a picture of everyone's outfits laid out to make sure they work together. There are also some outfit inspiration posts on the blog as well as a Pinterest board to which I'm always adding.

 

Q: What if if rains?

A: If 24 hours before your session, there is greater than 50% chance of rain during your session time, we'll talk about options and come up with a plan together. This usually means we'll either reschedule or move to an indoor location! We can't control the weather and there's no charge if this happens.

 

Q: I don't know where we want to take our photos. Can you help us decide? Make recommendations?

A: I definitely can! Family and baby photography sessions can take place anywhere around Tallahassee. We have some beautiful parks all around town and they photograph wonderfully. I also love when families choose to have their session in the comfort of their home. I even wrote an article about my favorite locations which you can read HERE.

 

Q: We know we'll want a few different sessions in the next year (extended family in town during the holidays, kids milestones, etc). Do you offer a discount?

A: YES! That's exactly what the Collective Membership was designed for!

 

Q: We live outside of Tallahassee (Thomasville, Crawfordville, Valdosta, South GA, elsewhere in North FL) can we still hire you for photos?

A: Yes, I'd be honored to work with you. If you live further than 30 minutes outside of Tallahassee (the coast, north of Thomasville, Valdosta, etc) there will be a custom travel fee depending on your distance from Tallahassee. This works out to approximately $125 per hour of travel). Alternatively, you can come to me and we can do your photos here in Tallahassee. If you aren't sure yet about this, we can discuss options.

 

Q: Do you do beach photos?

A: Yes! Pricing would be custom just as in the scenario above, based on distance from Tallahassee. Occasionally I travel to the beach with my own family and will take on clients while I'm there. If so, I'll post these dates or send an email to newsletter subscribers/clients.
