How we work

We charge one fee, which includes an hour of photos no matter how many individual or family settings you want. We can meet either at our private indoor studio and outdoor setting, at your home, or at a Houston-area location of your choice.  Soon after the photos have been taken, we'll upload images for your review via the web.  If you prefer, we'll print contact sheets instead.  From the web review or contact sheets, you'll decide which images you'd like us to correct & enhance.
 

What you get
An hour of shooting with high-resolution digital equipment in or around our studio or at nearby predetermined locations.  Unlike many photographers, we don't keep your negatives and charge high prices for prints.  Instead, the final images are written to a CD that belongs to you. While all images are yours to keep, up to 12 will be adjusted, corrected, enhanced, cropped and prepared for printing in the size(s) you choose.  Also included are 4x6 reference prints of these images.  Just let us know if you also want the RAW images burned to a CD.  Note: Software such as Photoshop or Canon Digital Photo Professional is required to open RAW files.

Additional services
Many of our clients do not incur any charges beyond the above sitting fee.  However, we offer additional services not included above on an as-needed basis, with prices based on our time spent, as follows:

  • $25 - For each additional image beyond 12 that you want us to adjust, correct and enhance.  Again, all images are yours to keep, and we'll adjust and correct as many as you'd like. 

  • TBD - For multiple "head swaps". A head swap is when we take a head from one photo to another. This is often done in family shots when one person in the family has their eyes closed, etc.  We'll include one head swap at no cost, but reserve the right to charge for our time spent on additional head swaps or other significant re-touching (@ $75/hour).

  • TBD  - We reserve the right to charge for our time spent on each crop beyond the first 24 (i.e., 12 images x 2 crops [5x7, 8x10, etc.] per image); $5 per additional crop.

  • $50 - Printing coordination.  All images will be saved to a CD and given to you in order for you to make prints at your convenience.  However, if you prefer, we'll handle the final printing for an additional fee of $50.

  • $100 - remote setup of studio lighting equipment.  Most exterior locations outside of our studio do not require the setup of studio lighting.  However, some interior remote locations require studio lights, and we charge $100 for this service.

  • TBD - remote locations.  We typically shoot in or around our studio or at nearby predetermined locations.  For sessions in Houston at other locations, an additional charge - usually $100 - will be incurred which covers advance scouting time (if necessary), and travel and setup time.  We will also photograph at locations outside of Houston; please contact us to discuss your needs.
