Photography
PHOTOGRAPHY STARTS AT $450/HOUR.
This includes your session fee, and an image credit that can be applied towards digital images or print products (please see details on specific pages).
After your session I’ll provide a link to view your images via online gallery, where you can choose the images you love for final edits. What you ultimately spend is entirely up to you – there is no hard sell, choose only the images you LOVE!
Your final edited images will be delivered digitally at full resolution, and if you’d like you can purchase prints through the gallery or you can download and take them elsewhere to get printed.
- For families and senior portraits, typically an hour is plenty
- For brands/businesses, depending on the context of the shoot, if we’re photographing products, you should expect at minimum two hours. Branding shoots last 1-2 hours. Simple headshots with a single backdrop and outfit can typically be done in half hour.
*All sessions require a non-refundable 50% retainer, in order to reserve your session date. Should you need to reschedule your session, this fee is transferred to the new date (within reason). The remainder of the session fee is due prior to your session, and the total of any additional individual image purchase is due before the final image files are delivered.
**Note that photos taken for professional publication or commercial use must be licensed and may incur additional licensing fees.
Photography FAQs
The session fee includes my time on location, and a collection of fully edited images. There are no hidden fees, or hard sell to purchase additional images, prints or other products. What you buy is completely up to you. And I mean that. I promise you an amazing experience, and beautiful portraits that you’ll love.
A 50% non-refundable deposit is required at the time you book your session, unless otherwise stated. The balance of the session fee and individual image total is due before final image files are delivered.
I accept Venmo, Stripe, Paypal, cash or check.
Sessions are typically done outdoors. If you don’t have a location in mind, there are so many great spots all around the Indianapolis area, urban and natural, and I’m happy to help choose a location!
Wear something that you love and feel amazing in! It is best to stick to solid, complimentary colors as a family. Patterns don’t always turn out the best in photos and they can be distracting.
Outdoor sessions start time varies, if you want that gorgeous golden hour glow then the session would need to start about 2 hours before sunset or 2 hours after sunrise. This time will change throughout the year.
Absolutely! If you know of a certain type of pose or look you want, please let me know what you have in mind and I will do my best to accommodate requests.
I am open to using anything in a session that means something to you & that make your session extra special. If you have a certain item or pose you would like incorporated into the session please make sure to notify me ahead of time!
We will keep a close eye on the forecast leading up to your scheduled session. If you have some flexibility, then we can watch for a window of time to get your session in that day, otherwise we will reschedule for another day. If it is just cloudy, that is actually preferred and clouds help to create the most beautiful lighting in photos!
I want you to look your best, but also look like yourself, so typically apply only light edits. General touch ups are included in your purchase price, and cover things like correcting facial shine, stray hairs and blemishes, as well as cropping/straightening, color enhancements & light adjustments.
Additional retouching available on request, at an additional fee of $10 per image.
I’m excited too and I will work to get your beautiful images back to you as soon as possible.
Typically I will provide the unedited gallery for you to view and make your selections within a few days of your session. Final edited, full resolution files are typically available within two weeks after you’ve made your final selections. That time may vary but I will always let you know ahead of time.
I hand edit and color correct each image that is delivered so it will be so worth the wait!
