Pricing Update

Just in case you haven’t watched the news for the last six months, the world is apparently coming to an end!  While I don’t think it’s that bad, I do know that a lot of people are feeling a financial pinch these days.  I’ve spent the last couple of days considering how I might be able to respond to this to make my services more affordable. I’ve made a number of changes which I’ve broken down below.

Standard Portrait Sessions

Session Fees:  First of all, my session fees are now fully applied to your product purchase.  That means that when you pay the $150 session fee you’ll have a credit of $150 when you come to your ordering session.  This can be applied to any of our products. 

Gift Prints:  Gift prints are prints that are sized as a 4x6, 5x7, or 8x10.  The price for any of these sizes is $50 per print ($40 per print if you buy a wall portrait or canvas), BUT if you order multiple copies of the same image you get the additional copies for only $25 each. 

Wall Portraits/Canvases:  I’ve also lowered the prices of my wall portraits and canvases, so you don’t have to spend as much to get significant discounts on the other items you purchase.

This is all explained a bit better in the 2009 Standard Price List, so take a look.

Weddings

I’ve made a pretty significant change to my wedding pricing.  In the past I’ve offered complete wedding packages at a variety of levels.  These packages included everything that you needed, but because these packages were so complete the price was higher than many of my competitors.  I’ve tried to remedy that with the new pricing and you can now add the products that you need to the basic package

New Pricing:  The new pricing is $1999 and includes the following services

• Engagement or bridal session
• Full coverage of your wedding day
• Reception slideshow of images of your wedding day
• High resolution digital negatives with a print release
• Online slideshow to share with family and friends
• Online proofing/ordering

The new Wedding Pricing Guide includes information about the prices for our albums and proofing options.  You can also add a second shooter to the coverage for an additional $499.

If you have any questions about any of these changes, please let me know.  I’ll do my best to answer your questions!

High School Seniors

Standard print pricing also applies to High School Seniors, but we do offer some different session options for our high school students.  That information is available in the Senior Session Guide.
