Are you tired of complicated and expensive "packages"?  Our pricing is set up to allow you the greatest possible flexibility.  We don't lock you into a fixed set of prints that force you to buy pictures you don't want.  Instead, our "a la carte" pricing allows you to purchase just the shots and prints you want.

There are three components to our fees: a sitting fee, a per-pose fee, and a per-print fee.  Our sitting fees are based on studio time, and are not limited by strict counts on numbers of poses, outfit changes, backdrops, etc.  If we can fit it in the alloted time, you get it.  We can offer guidance about what you will likely have time for, though each shoot is different.  Studio sitting fees start at $40.00 for a 30 minute session. 

After we take the pictures, they will be placed on this web-page in a password protected folder so you can review them at your leisure.  These shots are typically available in 24-48 hours after the shoot.  Once you see the shots, you can pick the number and size of prints you want and order them right from the proofs page any time of day or night.  If you have family or friends who want to see the pictures -- just give them the password!

Pricing on the prints is simple.  There is a $15.00 charge on each "pose"  (individual shot) you select.  We never charge you for poses you don't select.  This per-pose fee covers cropping, editing, touch-ups as needed and conversion to black-and-white, sepia-tone or hand-tinted images if desired.  We treat each and every image as a work of fine art, not an assembly line print.  Specialty layouts are also available for an additional fee.

The per-print fees are based on the size of the print and the finish.  We can print any size from a set of mini-wallets all the way up to 13" x 17", all at prices you can afford.  For large orders there is a sliding scale discount, giving you 5% off for each $100 in print and pose fees.


We're not afraid to show you our prices.  Compare these with other studios -- we're confident you'll find we offer the best value: high quality at a low price. 

A fairly typical senior picture set might include a one-hour shoot in the studio resulting in five shots you want prints of.  You might order an 8"x10" of each of these, an 11"x14" of one, 8 4"x6" prints for friends and a sheet of 8 wallet-sized prints.  The total bill would be:

 Five poses @ $15.00  $  75.00
 Five 8" x 10" @ $10.00  $  50.00
