After nearly 30 years in the photojournalism world, I truly believe that understanding the story of a person, couple, or group enables me to capture moments better.
DESTINATION AND DOMESTIC
I'm not a fan of collections or packages. It's like going to a shoe story and only having the choice of three shoe sizes.
I leave it up to the couples to decide how many hours they want me at their wedding and how they want to display them (albums, canvases, prints, etc.).
I've documented one-hour wilderness elopements for $1,000, and multi-day destination weddings for $12,000.
The average collection is about $5,500 and includes an engagement session, eight hours of coverage, an album, wall art, and completely retouched images.
couples, families, or just you
Sessions are $200 per hour with most portrait session lasting one to two hours. Artwork is purchased separately.
My average portrait client budgets about $1,400. Some spend as little as $600 and others spend more with albums, custom cards, canvases, prints, and digital images available for their display needs.
Sessions are $200 per hour with most portrait sessions lasting two to three hours. That's typically enough time to work in some personality-highlighting portraits in cools spots, as well as showcasing hobbies, interests, and/or sports.
Artwork is purchased separately. My average senior client budgets about $1,800. Some spend as little as the $400 minimum, and others spend more with albums, custom grad cards, canvases, prints, and digital images available for their display needs.
These canvases have been made the same way since the '60s. They're built like tanks, long-lasting, artfully finished, and can be cleaned with Windex.
Each album is custom designed to your liking with your favorite images. The pages are warp-resistant, and these albums are heavy. It's definitely an event when you show these off.
Just like the matted fine art prints for your wall, but smaller to put on desks, shelves, and gift to friends and family. These are also finished with a custom-cut mat and ready to place in a frame.
The wall displays are printed on high-end Baryta archival paper, and finished with a custom-cut mat so you can have it framed to your liking. Or have us frame it.
Digital images are available too. In fact, every image that's printed (whether it's in an album, on a card, canvas, or print) comes with the associated image to share on social media. Or have images to print yourself whether it's small gift prints or huge wall displays.
Cards are great for letting friends and family know what's going on in your life. Whether it's a save-the-date for a wedding, graduation party announcement, or a thank you card for your wedding, it'll be designed just the way you want it.
I don't believe in offering you Walmart or Shutterfly products and then marking them up. The tangible items I offer are some of the very best. They are built to last, durable, and nothing you've probably seen before.
During our collaboration, we'll discuss the best options for you in terms of displaying your images.
Why tangible images matter
Digital images are great, but once they're posted, you may not see them again until you get your anniversary reminder about the social media post.
When you have something tangible, you can see it and hold it. You pass by it when you walk through a room. You can show off an album to friends and family. It's there to enjoy every day.
And since they're heirloom products, they'll last for decades or longer so they can be handed down and enjoyed by future generations.
