Booking
I prefer to handle booking via phone and email. This gives us a chance to talk about the specific needs you might have and to work through scheduling more efficiently. Automated scheduling leaves out the human element that is so important for a successful session.
Portrait Sessions
I currently offer a variety of portrait sessions. I shoot both artificial and natural light, studio or on location. Do you have a favorite place you want your photo taken? How about in your home or at your favorite park? I am also permitted to photograph clients in the National Forest, wildflowers anyone?
Pricing:
Portrait session pricing varies by type and individual needs. Sessions start at $150.
Lifestyle Photography
I LOVE adventure photography. To me, adventure photos are epic so long as everyone is doing something they love or something that makes them feel empowered. It can be rafting, biking, climbing, horseback riding or hiking. Basically anything you or your children love doing. To put things simply, we look the best when we are doing what we love. Freezing a moment where we are engaged with something we feel passionate about is priceless.
Pricing:
Lifestyle photography pricing varies depending on the client’s desired project but these sessions start around $350.
Art Reproduction
Let me help you bring those print projects to reality. I can shoot with over 60 megapixels using a high resolving macro lens that limits distortion and provides razor sharp clarity for your art reproduction needs. I shoot color cards and work with calibrated monitors and printing services to ensure a guaranteed color match. Reach out for more details, I love working with other local artists.
Pricing:
A single session in my garage studio runs $80 for the first piece and $20 for additional pieces. I offer this at a discounted rate compared to other services simply because I like to support the local artist community. This is for a single aspect ratio and a single paper type IPCC color profile soft proof setup. I want this to be a good experience for you and I will guide you through the printing process and help educate you on how the color calibration steps work. I will supply low resolution web images one per each piece. Prints must be obtained through me due to the nature of color calibration with my printing services of choice. I offer the prints at cost, but must remain in the production seat for this step to insure successful color reproduction. Additional sizes and aspect ratios will cost $15 each. This service requires two visits, one to shoot the photos and another to review the soft proofing and to choose print sizes and quantities.
Elopements and Weddings
There is something so special about the energy with these events that makes them a joy to photograph. The necessity to be on point without being obtrusive to the event itself keeps the day alive with that good kind of stress where I absolutely thrive. I love the social aspect, getting to know the couple and what they want but also the parents and making sure to include them when a special request is made. I shoot a two camera setup and make equal importance of capturing the wedding environment as well as the guests of honor.
Pricing:
Elopements start at $850 and weddings at $2,000. Elopement photo delivery depends on the client’s needs. Wedding’s come with a minimum image delivery of 250 high resolution, edited photographs. Often I will deliver more than that, but I only deliver images that meet the highest of standards. I do not supply raw files nor deliver all photos taken. My work is important to me and I don’t put out photos that were substandard. I ask that wedding clients order prints through me at cost. This is due to the level of pride I have in the accuracy of colors and quality I offer through the lab I use and color calibration I maintain. The first order of products is free for me to facilitate. Remember, I will be charging cost for the prints (plus sales tax), I just want to see you happy with the quality of print and attention to detail that I can achieve.
Pets
My wife and I have three dogs and believe me… I have more experience in dog photography that I probably should. Those phone photos you have simply can’t accomplish the quick auto focus and beautiful backgrounds that a professional photographer can. I am not just talking posed shots either… I love ACTION. Let’s throw ball or fetch sticks. I take photos of most pet species so please don’t hesitate to inquire. I do reserve the right to only work with pets I feel comfortable around however. Taking pictures of dogs requires a good temperament, as photography equipment can be intimidating to some furry friends. This is another reason I like to keep things active and happy. It’s best to keep the pet focused on something they love or a job they perform.
Pricing:
Pet photos are by the hour. For every hour I will deliver at least 6 high resolution images. $120/hr shooting time.
