$500 fee includes:
- 1-1.5 hour session with up to five people ($20 per additional person) at a setting of your choice (within 30 miles of Boston)

- An archival CD with 50+ edited high resolution images that you can print and use as you like

Please note: my pricing model is different from many other photographers. You have the rights to these photos--you will have the digital files. You may use the images multiple times, in any way you would like (e.g., prints, digitally)...as if you took the picture yourself.

- Option to order professional prints at an additional cost, including fine art canvases, custom made story boards and hardbound albums

My approach:

As you will see from the images above, I have a relaxed style. While I always take several traditional shots with the subjects looking at the camera, I find my favorite images are those that capture family connections and emotions in a more casual way. My photo shoots are fun and informal, with families and children doing what they do together.
A typical session includes a variety of set ups: family portraits, individual portraits of each child, portraits of siblings together, mom with child/children, dad with child/children, and shots of mom and dad together.
I am happy to suggest locations and set-ups, but want to be sure to capture any that have special meaning for your family. I love when clients give some thought beforehand to the locations and shot set-ups (e.g., 'Dad chasing baby') that you would like to try.
My goal is not to create one or two perfect images. Instead I aim to capture and create a collection of images that portray who you really are, who your children are and the connection and love that you share.

Policies:

$100 deposit due at booking to hold your slot. This is a non-refundable deposit. If the session needs to be rescheduled due to illness or weather this deposit will be applied to the rescheduled session.
Remaining $400 due at the end of your session.
I offer a full guarantee on my work--if you are not fully satisfied with your shoot and photos, I am happy to do another shoot at no cost.
