In the booking section, there is a selection of the packages we offer (along with other professional service offerings). All sessions are the same price for individuals and small groupings, up to 3 people (ie. small families). We are no longer offering wedding/event photography (with the exception of engagements/elopements), as our primary focus has evolved into the Fine Art and Surreal genres. Some sessions can be booked online and others require a quote. If a quote is needed, a time can be scheduled in the appointment calendar for us to call you to discuss the details. We accept major credit cards and cash (in-person) for all of the services we offer.
Photography session fees cover: Acquiring and setting up all equipment necessary for your session (camera, lenses, lighting equipment, studio equipment, location scouting), business expenses (materials, insurance, accounting, credit card processing, bank fees, professional equipment), professional editing (creative editing, exposure, cropping, sharpening, color grading, removing blemishes, touch-ups, professional software), searching for and acquiring sub-contractors/props, if needed for your session and staff wages to cover the session and post-processing time (does not include sales tax). *Because our sessions are considered "Fine Art" or "Surreal," a major portion of the session cost goes to the creative editing time it takes to create a unique artwork that you can proudly display on your wall. We only print on the finest high-resolution fine art papers, which are more costly than basic papers. These papers offer excellent longevity and beautiful detail, to assure that you get the very best out of your images.
- Clothing and makeup: The clothing, props and makeup worn in Fine Art photography plays an important part in the overall artistic expression you are trying to convey. Traditionally, it has been beautiful costumes, long flowing dresses, interesting hairstyles, expressive makeup, flowers, fancy suits, focusing on the human body, emotions, etc. We encourage you to give some thought about wardrobe and makeup choice and keep in mind that the finished photographs will be artistic in nature, as opposed to traditional family photography.
- We do not offer makeup or wardrobe services (however, subcontractors can be hired at additional cost). Please come fully prepared for your session with makeup and hair complete, wardrobe/accessories selected and check to make sure nails are groomed. *Please note: Certain clothing, accessories and makeup doesn't always look the way we hope in photographs. Any makeup with glitter will show up as white dots on your images, as such, we do not recommend wearing it... Also, mascara clumps are difficult to fix in post-processing. Looking fresh and natural always looks best on camera! When in doubt, please feel free to contact us prior to your session so we can discuss any concerns.
- If you require photos with hair up and down, please arrive with your hair up for the first shots (it is easier to start with it up, rather than try to fix it later). Because of time constraints, we will need to move quickly between locations and wardrobe changes (if multiple locations/wardrobe changes are included in the session). Bringing a stylist or friend with you can be helpful. Do realize that the nature of on-location shoots may require you to change clothing in a car or public restroom (if available). We often carry a blanket in our vehicles, but you may wish to bring one for this purpose.
- WE LOVE PETS! And, yes you are welcome to bring a pet to your session. We also do pet portraits!
- Before your session, we will have a free consultation to discuss locations and the type of look you are trying to achieve in your images. If you have sample images, photos of wardrobe, etc, please email those to us prior to your session.
- Please be sure to review our portfolio, as all images will be edited to match our brand.
- After your session is complete, please allow up to 6 weeks for post-processing (especially during the busy season). All images will be presented to you in an online gallery. If you require minimal changes, those will be provided at no extra charge (changes do add to the overall processing time to factor into your schedule). *Printing Services also take additional time, so please be aware of this, if you are on a tight schedule.
- Travel: We will travel a maximum of 30 miles from our studio location (Soda Springs, ID), free of charge. Travel by car in excess of 30 miles will be charged at a rate of $50 per hour (according to Google maps travel time). All round-trip travel (by car or plane), tickets and accommodations are the responsibility of the client and must be agreed to, in writing, prior to the session (please see TERMS).
- FREE/Discount Sessions: From time to time, we may offer a free or discounted session (whether for promotion, charity, or TFP). All sessions, regardless of price, will follow the same terms, as described above (and in our contracts). We are currently accepting applications for models for TFP shoots.
