“A” in detail
We’ll spend an hour photographing every possible combination you would like; individuals, family, groups, siblings, etc. In the studio I like to use both natural window light and studio light. I “shoot” without props because I like to keep it simple. You will view your proofs via an emailed slideshow or contact sheets if you prefer. I recommend solid clothing, preferably with long sleeves because I like to keep the focus on the face. Unlike traditional studios, I don’t keep the negatives and charge high prices for prints. But rather, the final images are written to a CD that belongs to you. And while all the images are yours to keep, up to 12 will be adjusted, corrected, enhanced, cropped, and prepped for printing in the size (s) you choose. You will also receive a custom Portrait Collage created by me using some of my favorite images from your session. In addition, you will also receive a signed “release letter” and bonus list of websites offering innovative products. And lastly, you will take home a *Heritage Makers photo book (8x8) which will showcase all the images from your session. Your photo book and CD will be mailed to your home.
S & H included. $375

FAQ
What do I need to do first?

Decide when you’d like to have your appointment and send in a deposit to reserve the date. Appointments are scheduled on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Deposits may be mailed in or you can call and leave a credit card number over the phone.

How much is the deposit?
The deposit on “A” is $100 with the balance ($275) due on the day of the appointment. The deposit on “B” is $50 with a payment of $50 due on the day of the appointment. The exact balance on “B” depends upon the final canvas size chosen. The deposit on “C” is $50 with the balance ($125) due on the day of the appointment.

Then what happens?
If you’re getting “A”: Within a week or so (usually sooner) you will receive an emailed slide show of the session for your review. Choose 12 that you would like to have adjusted (meaning-retouched, color corrected, enhanced, cropped to size and ready for printing).
If you’re getting “B”: Within a week or so (usually sooner) you will receive an emailed slide show of the session for your review. Choose which image (or images if you’re getting a portrait collage) you would like for your canvas.
If you’re getting “C”: You do not have to do anything. Your CD will be mailed to your home.

What if I’m not happy?
If you decide, for instance, that you don’t like the way your hair looks or you don’t like someone’s expression, then I would be happy to do a quick re-shoot for $25.

Additional Services

Photo Editing
- Additional retouched images may be purchased for $25 each.

- Head Swap - A head swap is when we move a head from one photo to another. Often this comes up in family groups when one person in the family has his eyes closed or has an expression that’s not the best. Though one head swap is included in the “A package” we reserve the right to charge for our time spent on additional head swaps or other significant retouching/artwork ($75/hour).

- Photo editing services include scans, color correction, image transfer to CD or DVD, simple restoration and image manipulation. Some projects and services are billed by the hour and some are billed by the project. Consider preserving your treasured family pictures.

Special Projects
- I create digital artwork from your own digital photos. If you own a digital camera, (and these days…who doesn’t) my guess is that you probably have a computer that’s “chock full” of images ….and yet you have no “real” pictures to show for it?????? Let a professional help you sift through the tons of images you have stored on your camera, computer hard drive, or CD. I have some great ideas that utilize your pictures in fun ways! Ask about Heirloom Collages, Pop Art, Photo Paint Cans, and other custom projects such as special event posters.

- The project I design uniquely for you can be printed on canvas, poster board, card stock, or you may purchase it digitally on a CD.

- Some projects and services are billed by the hour and some are billed by the project.

Workshops
- I offer consulting services and conduct individual and group training workshops demonstrating how you can make beautiful personalized items using your own pictures. Prices range from $20 to $50 an hour.
