Lifestyle Photography

This type of photography is to capture real life, as it happens.  Making cookies with the kids, sports events, parties, dinner with the family, a day in the life of your family, etc.  Possibilities are endless!   There are absolutely no posed shots, only candids.  No making children sit still and smile or say cheese.  Only real life behavior and activity.  It will be done in a journalistic style only.  This is not for weddings or anything related to weddings.  No persons limit.  This type of shoot will be time sensitive and therefore should be booked accordingly.  Each additional block of time past the booked time will be prorated at $100/hour and based on availability.  1/2 day and full day must be prepaid on the day of booking and must have 48 hours notice so I can plan accordingly.  Cancellations can be rescheduled based on my availability and will still require 48 hours notice.  No refunds on prepaid bookings due to the variables involved with this type of shoot. Please contact me for more information, availability and questions.

1/2 day and Full day will also include a slideshow DVD to music!

$100 – up to 1 hour of coverage

$200 – up to 3 hours of coverage (1/2 day)

$375 — up to 5 hours of coverage (full day)

 

Weddings

Please note:  I cannot do Saturday weddings, sorry.

All wedding packages include an engagement shoot.

$400 – Wedding party before or after ceremony.  This will include bride/groom and immediate family of the bride/groom and the wedding party (bridesmaids, groomsmen, etc.) only. Includes all final edited photos on a CD.

$700 – Includes the above and the ceremony up until the reception.  Also includes all final edited photos on a CD.

$1700 – up to 6 hours coverage.  Activity before/after wedding including the reception and all of the above.   This price will include 2 photographers–my brother will be helping me.  His photographic style is very photojournalistic and he will be walking around capturing all of the candid moments for you to treasure for years to come.  I will do both posed/group shots and also capture candid moments in a very similar style of photography.  A DVD slideshow to music is included.

This package will include up to 150 full resolution photos on a CD with some of the photographs having an artistic copy (like black/white, selective color, etc.)  You can purchase additional photos to be put on the CD, please inquire at our meet-up appointment.

I require that we meet prior to your booking to make sure we will be a good match as this is a very important day in your lives.  This meeting will ensure that we are on the same page and that I feel I can capture your wedding day in the way that you will be able to treasure for the rest of your life.

At the time of booking, I will require a deposit of $200 to lock in your special day.  The remaining balance is due no later than 72 hours before the shoot.  If you need to pay via credit card, please ask for my paypal address.   You must give at least 30 days notice of cancellation to get your deposit back.  Rescheduling is an option after the 30 day time limit has expired, however it must work around my bookings/schedule.

Please email me with any further questions or special requests. Thank you!
