After much thought I have decided to start offering images on disk.
This was not an easy decision for me, as I am by nature a complete control freak, and I want to make sure that (1) The beautiful images you receive actually get printed, and (2) That the images you receive are printed to my stringent expectations and in the highest quality.
So, why am I doing this? The simple answer is: Because you want them!
Ten years ago, there was a certain mystery about photography. You booked a portrait sitting, the photographer used his film camera to take your portraits, and in the end you received beautiful images that were printed from the photographer's negatives. Not anybody could do this.
This is not the case anymore. I'm getting asked more and more for this type of service, and hey, who am I to say no? Many of my clients want to have some images printed for Grandma, Aunts and Uncles, or maybe they are scrapbookers and want to use them in their scrapbooks. In other words, this is the way the world is going, and a smart businessperson will give their audience what they wants.
So, from here forward we will be offering 3 levels of sessions, as outlined below:
The Platinum Session: Our traditional portrait sitting.
* Up to two hours of time spent photographing in locations of your choosing - indoors or outdoors (or both!).
* Approximately two weeks after our photography session, you will come back to the studio for your private viewing/ordering appointment. Carol will help you choose which images and sizes would work best for you and your home.
* Then all you have to do is relax while we take care of everything. Once your portraits arrive, you simply pick them up, take them home and enjoy!
* Your portraits will be put in our private online Client Gallery for two weeks in order for you to share them with family and friends.
The fee for the Platinum Session is $150 at my Studio; $175 at your location. Cost of prints are extra. See print pricing below for an idea of our Ala Carte pricing. Portrait Collections are also available.
