portrait rates (visit here for reprint pricing)

first day session $175.00 - these sessions have a photojounalistic flair; I come to the hospital usually the day after the baby is born, and hold a session in your room. backdrops and my typical simple props that are used in the regular newborn sessions are not used at the first day sessions; it is simply you, your significant other, and the miracle you have just brought into this world!

newborn studio session $175.00 - 20 to 40 images in both color and black and white are included, and will be given to you in a proof book as well as displayed in an online gallery. it is recommended that siblings not be present at newborn shoots (unless you had twins or triplets:), because they are so unpredictable at their early age and can take a while to get the shots we are looking to get! if you would like to include up to two siblings please have them arrive at either the very beginning or end of the session so that they do not distract their little brother or sister! :)

portrait studio session $150.00 - 20 to 40 images in both color and black and white are included, and will be given to you in a proof book as well as displayed in an online gallery. up to two children included. parents are welcome to sit in for a handful of photos if it is a newborn or child/sibling session. additional children will be $25.00 per child.

family session $225.00 - for families of 5 or more. 20 - 40 images in both color and black and white are included, and will be given to you in one proof book as well as displayed in an online gallery. please note that family sessions are recommended to take place at an outdoor location.
