weddings and events
Everyone always wants to know a price to do their wedding. I don't blame you, I would too. However, you must understand that every wedding and every Bride is different. Some only want after ceremony shots and some want the whole day. Instead of concentrating on the price I think you should set your sights on what style each photographer has to offer. Do you really like what you see? Do you want to be photographed that way? Most importantly, what do you want to do with your photos once taken? Do you have a large wall for a blowup? Would you like a canvas? This is what you should be thinking about so the photographer knows what you want and will make sure you get your needs met. COST is always the question on a wedding couples mind and I am happy to negotiate prices with you. I charge $100 per hour. If all you need me for is 2 hr the min charge is $400. It all really depends on what you want. I expect 1/2 payment 4 mo before the decided date and the rest on the day of the event.
This is a day that alot of your time and energy has gone in to, I know, I've been there. You want everything to be perfect and every step to go as planned. I suggest a privet meeting i with myself to get an idea of what your needs are. If after that you like the style I provide and think you might be interested in hiring me, then I can put together a quote for you to both work within your budget and your needs.

family portraits and single portraits
I really enjoy photographing people, children especially. I love to capture the innocence in a child's face, their laughter, their curiosity, soft features, and their fun nature. Children are rarely posable, get them in for a formal photo shoot with all the family and we know what happens. The funny faces, the hands are everywhere and they never seem to look at the camera at the right time. I often set up the adults and let the children lead from there. When I photograph children on there own I usually suggest we go for a walk. They enjoy a change of scenery and then I can watch their mood and expressions and what light they look good in. When the backdrop and light are just right thats where we stop to photograph. ALWAYs remember when your having your family shoot done wear simple tones of colour or jeans with a white or black shirts. taupe with white or variations of earthy colours goes very well. Bring props, chairs, and favorite stuffies. Even dress up cloths. We can do what ever you like.
AS for pricing. This is another difficult area to give prices. again this area really is dependent on your needs. I will do the shoot and then we can sit down together see what I've got and what you would like, and how you would like those printed. You may just want a photo-book. Perhaps you have a major wall in your home you would like to feature a very large family portrait. Presents for the grandparents is a popular feature. Every one asks 'Can you give me a general idea?' So I charge around $200 for a 2-3 hr family shoot. for every additional family group added to the session add $50.
What do you get? 2-3 hours of my time, 2-3 hr of editing time afterward and 100 edited photos on a disk for you to do what you wish.

Marketing your business
To marketing your business often means you need to market yourself. You may require business cards or a portrait of yourself or your employees for a wall in the office or maybe a team group shot for your website. What ever your needs are we can work out something for you within your means. This area is a little easier to price out. If all you need is a photo for business cards I will give you a disk with your 10 best shots to work with and you may use them as you wish. That cost will be $100. This is loosly based on a single person or single group shot. If you want a portrait done for every employee then a group rate will be applied dependent entirly on the number being photographed. This fee covers my time on the shoot, travel, time in the lightroom, whether you want printing and framing done by me and delivery cost. The time I will need is about 1hr. The size group I am talking about here is 1 to 10 people. Any numbers over this and the price goes up.
Again I have to stress that the price still depends on what you needs are and why you need the photographs done. If you are a club or volunteer group and I am dealing with a lot of people then this would more fall under the 'Portrait' area and pricing would be discussed privetly and decided upon by the group or leader of the group.

Art, Photo-books, your digital files,Printing options
With so many variation and ever changing product prices for art are simply too hard to price. I recommend emailing me, send me your message and ideas. I can personally find what you need and in your price range.
I offer putting memories into a photo-book, We all take photos and either they sit on our computers forever or the ones you do print out often sit around wait our attention. Not good with computers? Why not have me do a photo-book for you. I can make a book with the photos I have taken or I can do it with the photos you have stored in your computer. Just think, no developing, no filing, no storage, no photo-albums. A book arrives at your door with all you photos beautifully displayed and co-ordinated. You can have other books printed for gifts for family and friends.
Cost. $60 -$400. again it all depends on you.
