The Products

 

What you're going to do with your images is perhaps the most important aspect to consider when you're planning for a photo session, but it's all too often the aspect that's overlooked... all that time and money invested deserve a better return than photos gathering dust on a hard drive somewhere. You'll never get the same feeling looking at your photos on a screen as you will seeing them on your wall or flipping through the pages of an album, so I include a print credit with every collection.

Wall galleries

 

Have an empty space on the wall you want to fill but not sure what size frames to pick or what arrangement? I offer custom design services for my clients at no charge. Send me a photo of your wall and I can show you exactly how your final gallery will look with images from your session.

 

I offer 7 different collections to choose from. These are made to fit any space and can even be broken up to add art to several walls.

 

Wall Galleries start at $1500

Layflat albums

 

These premium albums are printed on high-end matte photo paper with thick, lay-flat pages. Layout and design options are limited only by your imagination and can be further customized with your choice of linen covers and custom foiled letters.

 

10 spreads (20 pages) are included in the price below. Additional spreads (1 spread = 2 pages) can be added for $50 each.

custom framing

 

I've tried everything from gallery wraps to acrylic/metal prints but my house is covered in framed prints for a reason. They are super easy to swap out for updated photos! Plus there are so many great frame options now that fit your style and decor. I offer white, gold, silver, and several wood tones since those complement my style of photography best.

 

Custom Framed Prints start at $260
