Pricing and FAQ:
My engagement sessions yield 25-50 fully-edited photos that deserve to be showcased in an album. I often deliver many more than that but this is a good benchmark.
They’ll be delivered to you in an online gallery for viewing, sharing, and downloading. You will have the freedom to print your photos from wherever you wish.
Anywhere. I’m always down for an adventure. I’ve shot all around the eastern US. My favorite places I have shot so far include Nashville, TN, Atlanta, GA, and Indianapolis, IN.Â
Sure is! Your patronage supports my whole family. It’s a little spooky sometimes to realize our entire livelihood is tethered to my photography, but God is good and so we remember not to worry. [Psalms 23:1]
First and foremost you get my experience, my style, and my story telling abilities. You can expect to receive all professionally edited photographs with the freedom to print anywhere. And you will get to see a handful of the photos we take within just the first couple of days of your session (and maybe even the same day…)
Some wedding collections come bundled with things like engagement sessions, so be sure to check those out if you think you might like wedding photography, too.
Engagement sessions are $450 for 85% of my couples and include all the bells and whistles. For the remaining 15% of adventurous couples, pricing is assessed on a case by case basis.Â
Included in every session: Optional session planning, up to two hours of shooting, all the wonderful photos we make, and the freedom to print your photos anywhere you’d like.Â
Many clients choose book a wedding collection that includes an engagement session, which come with with ample coverage, additional photographers, videography, custom wall art, and my signature heirloom album to keep their memories in.Â
Sure do. Did you know that if your photographer isn’t insured and causes damage to something during your session that you pay the price? Yikes. While I’ve never had to issue a claim, having insurance offers me (and my clients) a nice peace of mind so my creativity remains unhindered.
A la carte options include engagement sessions, a second photographer, custom wall art, and my signature heirloom photo album.
After we setup a meeting in person or on the phone, you’ll receive a custom payment portal online where you can sign our contract and make payments via credit card. I also take checks if you prefer. Monthly, quarterly, and custom payments are available.
