You will find photographers that will charge you less. You will find photographers that will charge you more. My goal is not to be the cheapest, or the most expensive, but to provide you with beautiful images that you will always treasure.

Cancellation / Rescheduling:
If you need to reschedule your session for a different date or time, please let me know as soon as possible. I will be happy to work with you to reschedule your session, however if you just fail to show up at the session without a call, the Booking Fee is forfeited & you will need to pay a new Booking Fee to re-schedule.
Rain / Inclement Weather:
If it is raining at the time of your session we can reschedule without you forfeiting your Booking Fee. A prediction of rain does not mean the session will be canceled! In fact, some if the best light for photography is on overcast days. I will be in contact with you if there is any chance the session will need to be rescheduled due to inclement weather. If you have any doubt about the suitability of the weather for your session, please contact me!
Image Preparation and Retouching Services:
There is a quote regarding photography comparing it to music; “If the original image is the score, the print is the performance.”
Not that long ago the get the best ‘performance’ I would have to work in a darkroom burning & dodging the light from the enlarger on the paper to bring out the best in the photograph. Today, I still sit in a dark room, only I’m at my computer doing the same thing in Photoshop. I spend time insuring every image I deliver makes the subject look their absolute best.
Your proofs are retouched at no additional charge prior to your in person slideshow presentation.
Very rarely, a client will request additional advanced retouching. I do provide that service for $90.00 per hour.
