Investment & General Info

 

I keep my pricing simple. I want you to know upfront any costs. There should be no questions about what is or is not included. ***The information here applies to full priced sessions. Any mini specials or event photos may have their own pricing guidelines and may differ in what is or is not included. If you have questions, please confirm prior to purchasing!***

 

All packages include; session fee, retouching, editing, post-production, a secure, password protected online gallery of the high resolution images and print rights so that you may download or print the images as you wish.

Images should be edited and available to you within approximately 1 – 2 weeks from the date of the session. I always try my best to get them to you sooner.

I do not send you every picture I take. I will provide you the best, edited pictures. If your session produces more images than is listed for the package you purchased, I will provide them all to you in a watermarked gallery so you can select the photos you would like to download. Those images will be provided in a high resolution, un-watermarked, downloadable gallery. Additional images may be purchased for $15 each, or 5 photos for $60, or the full gallery for an additional $150.

 

If you are interested in prints, you can purchase them directly from your gallery at https://firstsmilephotos.passgallery.com. Pricing varies based on products purchased.

 

Also available to shoot your special events: birthdays, family parties, baptisms, etc. Please contact me for a personalized quote. If you have any questions, please reach out to me. I’d love to work with you.

These sessions are typically done within the first 2 weeks of life. Because babies are so new, it can take a long time to get the right pose, to get the baby sleeping, to include time for feedings, etc. These sessions should not be rushed.

I have blankets, baskets, wraps, outfits, etc. for your use. We can decide what to use when are booking. You can also book newborn sessions before your baby is born and I will block my calendar to be flexible at the expected due date time.

My work with newborns is a blend of posed and lifestyle images, allowing you to capture and remember a crazy, overwhelming, beautiful time in your lives while preserving the beauty and peace of a new life.

     Mess Session $250

Approximately 45 minute photoshoot

The first year of life is a messy one, so let’s make a mess and really celebrate it!

I spend the first 15 minutes making sure to capture the things that make 1 so amazing… First steps, first teeth, and lots of laughs. The last 30 minutes are for making a mess!

Cake Smash - Bring your own cake {B.Y.O.C.} – I recommend vanilla with sprinkles (the more sprinkles the better) or whipped cream for messy, happy baby faces. Not into the cake thing? I have alternatives! If you want to stick with food, I've done donuts, tacos, watermelons, and on! You are only limited by your wishes.

And if that doesn't work... It’s all about art! I provide a canvas and paint to allow the baby to express their inner artist, scoot their foot through the purple and fingerpaint in the orange. And you get a one of a kind art piece that you will always treasure.

Babies should wear a short sleeved white onesie, tutu or diaper cover for the photos.

These sessions are limited to what backdrops and props I already have... please contact me to see if I have just the right something that will fit your wishes! I have everything from unicorns to mermaids to antique garages and superheroes.
