My Creative Fees start at $100.00, this fee is what you pay for my years of experience and ability to get just the right shot. I don’t believe in a set package, because they seldom perfectly fit anyone’s needs. Packages and minimum print orders are easy ways for a photographer to insure a profit level on the shoot. By not having a minimum requirement anyone can have the best professional photo shoot at a price that fits their budget. I hate to see a family choose “not” to capture a timeless moment because the cost is out of their budget. Or worse use a less skilled photographer and pay for images that never meet their satisfaction. We will build a program together that is right for you and your situation.

Once your images are taken most photographers upload them to a website and you are asked to choose the one(s) you like. I believe that you have paid for my professional service and my job is not done until we arrange a personal consultation so I can share my experience in choosing just the right image(s).

On-line print selection can be confusing, difficult and time consuming. Most often it delivers a less than perfect product. When I shoot your portraits you have every right to expect me to be there to assist you in the selection process. My job is not done after I upload your images to a website. As a professional my job is complete when you are satisfied with the final images. My consultation offers you years of experience and my knowledge of the printing process.

During your Consultation:

• We will view your images in Color, Sepia and B&W
• We will look closely at the images; zooming in via high resolution to check the small details that could be a huge issue if enlarged
• Artistic input on all images and the best presentation of those images
• We can compare images side by side so you can compare and contrast small differences
• We will preview any cropping decisions to insure the cropped images meet your satisfaction
• We can find small retouching needs (a small scar or line may not meet my requirement for retouching but could ruin the picture for you)
• Assistance with frame and mat choices or other products that can enhance your final portrait
• You will be secure in the knowledge that your choices will be prepared to your exact expectation

I feel this level of customer service is needed today, more than ever. Your portraits are an investment in your family and should be shared for generations. The selection and proper preparation of these images will ensure you won’t be making excuses for them later. It is a pleasure to offer this level of service and I look forward to working with you now and years to come.
