Family Photos, Children and Babies
I can shoot indoors and outdoors, if weather permits. I shoot my indoor photos against a plain white background and use Photoshop to replace it. (see my galleries for examples of backgrounds).
Outdoor shots are a good opportunity to have some fun and get some candid shots....for example, building a snowman or sledding in the winter, picking wildflowers, playing ball or splashing around at the lake in the summer. Even raking a pile of leaves to jump into in the fall!
Clothing. For group photos, It's a good idea to try and plan everybody's clothing for the day of the shoot. Dressing in similar colors or having a color scheme make a much nicer family photo. Everyone in blue jeans and white shirts, for instance, or khaki's and red shirts are a good examples. Try to avoid busy patterns and t-shirts with logos.
Seniors
You might like to change outfits a time or two or perhaps change into a uniform, if you play sports. If you would like a shot or two with your pet, your bike, car or if you have some other hobby or interest, such as playing a musical instrument, we can include it in your shoot.
Prices
A $40.00 sitting fee is due on the day I shoot.
This includes basic retouching on ordered prints, outdoor shots if you choose and/or (major Photoshop) work on up to 4 indoor photos. Major Photoshop work after the 4th photo is $5.00 per photo.
Print prices are:
8X10- $4.40
5X7- $2.30
4X6- $1.50
3.5X5-$1.40
8 wallets- $4.40
Other sizes are available on request.
If, instead, you would like to have the full resolution photos on a CD to print yourself or at your favorite photo lab, the fee is $75.00 and is due the day of the shoot. This includes basic retouching on all usable outdoor photos, and major Photoshop work on up to 4 indoor poses. Major Photoshop work after the 4th photo is an addtional $5.00 per photo.
Weddings
Typically, I like to start shooting about an hour before the ceremony. This gives me a chance to get some shots of the bride getting ready for her big day, and also gives me a chance to photograph the location before the crowd shows up. Between the ceremony and the reception is a good time to get group shots of the wedding party and their families. It is a good idea to make a list and inform people that you would like to be included in this photo shoot to stay behind. If the reception is at a separate location, I like to arrive ahead of the wedding party to set up and get photos as the wedding party is announced. I will continue to photograph your reception until all of the traditional wedding activities are done, from cutting the cake to the first dance, as well as get some candid shots of your guests.
After your wedding day, I begin post processing your photos individually to make them the best they can be. This can be very time consuming going through the hundreds of photos, but I usually have them finished and on a DVD for you within two weeks. Your photo book will take longer, and usually arrives about a month after your wedding.
Wedding Prices
The price of a wedding package is usually dependant on how far I have to travel. Areas within 50 miles (Calais, Lincoln and Houlton) start at $350. Areas 50-100 miles (Bangor and Presque Isle) start at $450.
This fee includes travel, up to 6 hours of my time on your wedding day, a DVD with all of your photos and a hard covered, printed coffee table wedding book (aprox. 20-30 printed sides) for the bride and groom.
A non-refundable $100 deposit will reserve your wedding date, and the balance is due a week before your wedding day at the latest.
