| Q. |
How much will it cost to have my picture taken? |
| A. |
Sessions vary, as do session fees. Please contact me using our contact form for session fees and more information. A session consultation is required for any session/event that is not traditional. This helps us get aquatinted, determine if I am the right photographer for you, and determine any production costs, such as costuming, make-up, styling and set design costs.
1. Weddings start at $850 for traditional formal portraits. (1/3 down at signing)
2. Individual Sessions begin at $195 (glamour, theme, fine art portraits (non-traditional setting)), and include 4 units.
3. Elaborate sets and props will cost more for the session/production. |

| Q. |
When will I receive my pictures? Do you have packages? |
| A. |
Photos are generally ready for viewing within a few days of session (weddings take about 2 weeks). Delivery times of photos vary, depending on type of session, number of photos and required enhancements/retouching. Unless printed previews are requested and ordered, photos will be available for secure, private viewing online.
All photos are sold a la carte since everyone's tastes, needs and wants vary. Printed orders arrive in 2-3 weeks. |

|
| Q. |
Why should I hire you, instead of going to a department store studio? |
| A. |
Because I offer specialized sessions, give you my undivided attention, produce truly professional photos, and will work to create the photos you seek instead of sitting you on a platform behind a camera forcing you to purchase the first pose taken and not allowing any creativity/input on what you want out of your session. No department store studio is going to allow you to come in and tell them what you want, or dress-up in a costume, produce model portfolios, or take the time to get to know you. |
| |
|
| Q. |
What products do you offer? |
| A. |
Products vary, and include (but are not limited to): prints in various sizes, coffee table books, low and high res cds (with custom full color packaging), graphic/web design for musicians/performers, and custom products per request. |

|
| Q. |
