The FAQ
How long have you been doing this?
I started photographing weddings with a film camera about 20 years and photographed nearly 100 weddings. I now focus on portraits and have been doing that for about 13 years.
How much does it cost?
My session fees range from $100 to $200 depending on the session type. There is no minimum purchase but clients typically spend about $1500 on artwork to display in their home. Please contact me for a complete pricing list.
How many photos do we get to choose from?
You will get to choose between 25-40 images from a typical portrait session. How many you choose to purchase is entirely up to you. If you don't love them you don't have to buy them.
What is your turn around time?
About two weeks after your session you will be able to come back into my studio to view and order your images. After your order is placed you can expect to have your digital files ready within a week and other products anywhere from 2 to 4 weeks depending on the product. Some products come from Italy and can take up to 4 weeks.
Do you retouch photos?
This is entirely up to the client. Every image purchased can have my signature retouch and will look similar to the images that you see on my website if you choose. We talk about editing thoroughly at the image reveal appointment and you decide how you would like your images edited.
What product do you sell?
I offer prints, framed wall enlargements, Italian made canvas & acrylic wall enlargements, albums, Italian made folio boxes and digital images.
Can I just get the digitals?
I want every one of my clients to walk away with a beautiful, tangible piece of art that they can display in their home and pass down to the next generation. Every image that I sell comes with the matching digital file.
How do we get our photos?
Every image purchased from me comes both printed and digitally. Your digital files will come on a USB drive or via a digital download depending on what package you choose. Your products will be hand delivered to you two to four weeks after your ordering appointment (depending on the products ordered.) Some products come from Italy and take 2 to 4 weeks to deliver.
Can you help us with planning?
Absolutely, I walk you through every step of the way. We talk about what how to prepare for the session, what clothes to wear, coordinating your outfits with your home décor, and what products would look good in your home.
Do you Travel?
Yes, travel anywhere in Albany, Corvallis and Lebanon is free of charge. Anything 30 miles from my home in Albany is an additional fee. Beach sessions are a ton of fun. There is a $75 travel fee to Newport
