Portrait Sessions

For pricing we’ve made that really easy.  All of our sessions except for Beach and Newborn cost $200 and include $100 credit towards prints and products.  Beach and Newborn sessions are $300 with a $100 print credit.  We have many types of sessions to meet your needs for each stage in your life.  Browse the list below for the specific details of what each one includes!

Birmingham Family PortraitsFamily & Children

Our family sessions are so much fun!  Whether it’s just you and your spouse or if you have lots of beautiful children, we’re happy to photograph your family in a way that you’ll enjoy for years to come.

Family portrait sessions are for immediate family only (dad, mom, and children, up to 6 people total).  If you’re interested in including extended family members then please let us know.  There’s only a $10 charge per person outside of immediate family.
Birmingham Engagement PhotographerEngagement

Engagement sessions are included in every wedding package! This gives us time to hang out before the wedding and get to know each other (and you get fabulous awesome pictures!) But, if you just want an engagement session, we can do that too!

We can work together to come up with perfect location! The location should reflect your new relationship together and how your personalities blend (or contrast) with one another.  For example, one of you might be “city” while the other is “country”.   We actually have locations close together which show both styles. And if you still aren’t sure what you want in a location? Don’t worry because we can figure out the perfect place!
Birmingham Senior PortraitsHigh School Senior

One of the most fascinating times in a person’s life is being a senior in high school.  Right before you’re released into the entire world, these are the last moments being exactly who you are right now.  Capture your personality and share it with your friends.

You’re not only welcome to bring a change of clothes, but you’re encouraged to do it!  In fact, bring as many sets of the clothing that you feel most comfortable in and we’ll pick out what matches the location best.  Most seniors use about two to three changes when it’s all said and done, but bring several more to choose from. We will figure out the best place for unique images that you will love too!
Birmingham Maternity PortraitsMaternity

Expecting a baby is one of the most exciting things that can happen to your family, whether this is your first or one of many!  And, expecting a newborn is also a very unique time in mom’s life.  Don’t miss this opportunity to document you and your new child in a way that will never be the same again.

Bring your husband and, if this isn’t the first you’re expecting then please bring the other children too!
Beach Portrait PhotographerBeach

We absolutely love beach sessions!  If you look through our blog then you’ve probably already figured this out.  It’s really hard to beat just how beautiful the scenery is and just how perfect the lighting can be.

While we’ve been to several beaches from California to Florida, our favorites are right here in the Gulf of Mexico.  We typically travel from Birmingham to the Gulf several times a year and love the beaches from Mobile, Alabama all the way to Pensacola, Florida.  Because there’s a little more cost involved our fee for a beach session is $300 with a $100 print credit, but it’s totally worth the portraits you’ll have of your family!
Birmingham Newborn PhotographerNewborn

What can be more precious than your brand new baby?  Nothing can compare to the feeling of holding a new life in your arms, especially when that new life is your baby girl or boy.  In the first two weeks of life your newborn will be unlike anyone else and this is also the best time to record who they are as a tiny package of joy!

This session will focus mainly on baby of course, but mom and dad are encouraged to join in.  It’s typically done in your home since that’s the most comfortable and convenient place for both baby and family.

Newborn babies need a lot more attention than a regular portrait session with things like feeding and changing baby along with taking time to calm them every now and then.  Because of everything involved in a newborn session they cost a little more at $300 with a $100 print credit.

 

Booking a Session

This part of the process isn’t as difficult as it might seem! All you have to do is contact us in one of the following ways:

After that we’ll discuss things like dates and times, what you’re wanting out of the session, how many are expected to be in the session, choosing a location, etc. Once that’s settled, we’ll send you an invoice and info on how to pay. When the payment is received you’re officially booked all set!

There are a couple of important things to know. One is that the session fee must be paid no later than one week prior to the scheduled date. If it isn’t paid then we have to open the date up for other clients. Another is that we usually book the Fall and Spring seasons as well as special events sometimes a couple of months in advance. But, even though it’s best to not wait until the last minute hoping we have an opening, there’s still no harm in asking if you need portraits last minute :)

Once we release your private online gallery your session credit is valid if we have your order in 14 days and payment within 30 days. After 30 days your online gallery and print credit expires and your portraits will be archived for 6 calendar months.
