Package#2 Medium Session: 20-30 minutes: at least 10 edited digital images $75 (no printed copies given)
Package#3 Full Session: 30-60 Minutes: at least 20 edited digital images $125 (no printed copies given) This is best for families with small children. It allows for more time for posing and adjustments.
Package#4 aka The Senior Session: You can simply select a full session as listed above if you only want a few basic senior pictures with no clothing changes.
* If you need a little more time for outfit changes, I can do a 1.5 hour rate for $150. (30 Image minimum)
* An extra-long 2-hour rate would presently run $175 for a minimum of 40 edited digital images.
I will deliver your digital images online and you can download them and pay to have the service of your choice print them for you. You can also have them printed through the website which uses quality printing services, like MPIX, to get the images printed and delivered to your door. I recommend services like MPIX as their printing quality is much more true to what you see on the digital image.
The number above is the amount that I will give at a minimum per the contract. I will usually do more when I am able to do so.
Important note : I will not release unedited images as they are an unfinished product. They are not representative of my work. Please understand that it is a risk to my photography business to release something that is only half completed. I want to give you my best product.
If you want images that look as natural as possible, please do let me know. Generally, that is my preferred style anyway.
IMPORTANT INFOR FOR FAMILY AND INDIVIDUAL PORTRAIT SESSIONS
Shooting Location
Outdoors is my preference. I can meet you somewhere such as a public park if you are within 20 miles of where I live. Any distance beyond that would have an additional travel fee. I live in the Dalton, OH area. I will gladly travel to the Wooster and Massillon areas. Possible shooting locations can be discussed before the appointment.
Contract Required
All customers will be asked to sign a standard photography contract. I do require the contract before I will book a photography session. I will also ask for a basic photo release. There will be an option to decline the release if you are uncomfortable with that. Most photographers always require a photo release. However, I feel it is important to give people control over how the photos are used. The release simply gives me permission to use the photos on my website and portfolio for my business advertising. They will never be sold to anyone else.
Payment Timeframe
If you book a session, the photography contract will be emailed to you for review in advance of the session to read at your convenience. A non-refundable booking fee may be required to book your appointment, depending on the time and location. This is to deter no-shows as time is valuable. Any travel fees are required upfront and are non-refundable. If you have more than one cancellation, then all fees may be required to book the time in the future. Payment methods accepted are Paypal, Venmo, and cash. Cash is preferred.
Travel Fee
If I have to travel farther than the 20 mile radius of my home, then there are additional charges. The weather may affect scheduling given most portrait photography is done outside.
BUSINESS IMAGES
Corporate Headshots
*Corporate Headshots start at $100 per person. I can come to your office to set up a space to photograph multiple people efficiently during business hours. The travel fee would apply depending on the distance of your office. Black, white, and a blended gray background are available.
Business and Product Photography
I am very open to helping you with your business by doing product photography. I really enjoy this type of photography. Please just contact me and let me know what you are looking for and I will quote based on your situation and the expected time involved.
Other Images for Sale
*Unwatermarked Bird, Nature, Landscape, or Pet Images, $5 per digital image on my site. If you use the watermarked bird or pet images and give me full photography credit and link to my website, you may use these for free.
No one may use any pictures of people on my site. These are all copyrighted and unavailable for purchase, except by the client.
WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY
Wedding Rates
The Minimalist Package: If you want only a basic photography session for the formal portraits and wedding party pictures only, this currently costs $350. This is expected to be 2 hours or less at a specific time.
The Longer Coverage Wedding: My full wedding rate begins at $2800 for up to 6 hours of single-shooter coverage. This is for when you want the photographer there for the whole day covering everything possible. It may adjust upwards depending on the needs. I will give you as many images as I am able, but I do commit to providing at least 250 digital photos. It will likely end up being more than that. I will deliver 3 images within 24 hours of the event for social media posting and the remainder within 2 weeks. This is for photography coverage only. There is no video included.
Wedding bookings do require a non-refundable $500 fee and a signed wedding contract in order to reserve the day. The remainder of the balance is due the day of the wedding before the photos begin. Weddings also require a meeting beforehand to go over all of the details and get a full checklist completed of the shots that are desired. A detailed list of the people wanted for the group photos will be needed to make the day more efficient. I definitely don't want to miss any shots of sweet Aunt Edna who travelled 500 miles to be there for your special day!
For anyone booking a wedding, I will include a free bonus engagement photo session. The rehearsal dinner or other events would be an extra charge.
I reserve the right to decline any wedding as they are more physically demanding and scheduling can be difficult.
OTHER INFORMATION
Important note
As stated above, I generally do not release raw and unedited images as this is an unfinished product. This is because like many photographers I have my own method of shooting which will have some dark photos. It is like mixing up a cake, but then not baking it. Raw files also usually take special programs to process and are far larger with more space requirements. Delivering raw files has added costs. Raw files are also my legal proof of my copyright and ownership.
Most importantly, the unedited photo files are not representative of my business at all. Releasing a partially finished product can hurt my business reputation. As a person who cares deeply about what level of work I present, I want to only present my best completed product.
Social Media and Sharing
It is always greatly appreciated when you share on social media and tag me as the photographer. As a small business, giving my work credit is super helpful and I thank everyone in advance for being thoughtful in this manner. At present, I do not require this as many photographers do, but it is a blessing.
It is important to note that (as stated in the contract) the images shared are not allowed to be altered, filtered, etc.
