Maternity and Babies

We LOVE photographing these wonderful new beginnings!  For your maternity session, we recommend that you be photographed at the end of the seventh month, or very shortly after. We have tops, dresses, and fabrics for draping, that will be perfect for your photos.  If you want a newborn session, please consider the first couple of weeks as the best time. The beautiful sleepy look of the newborn is so quickly replaced with wide-eyed curiosity.  However, babies are wonderful to photograph during all the stages of their development.

Pricing

Our Pricing Philosophy
We are photographic artists, and as artists we do not limit our sessions to a given amount of time. We work until we have captured the images that we both want. We charge a Commission Fee of $200 which includes a planning session with you, the actual photographic time, and a viewing session in which we get together in our studio to project the images. The Commission Fee is payable when you schedule your session. At that time, we will also set up the Viewing Appointment. Projecting the images gives you the best opportunity to see expressions, and all other details of the portraits. This makes ordering so much easier for you.   As artists, we discreetly sign our work.

Our Commitment to you:  You will be thrilled with the images we create for you, or we will reshoot the session.

Our packages range from $270 to $3000.  Please see details under the headings below.
