Portrait Session Pricing

Relaxed Portrait Sessions with calm direction, clean lighting, and real emotion.

I offer portrait sessions designed to feel comfortable, simple, and true to who you are. Whether you need images for holiday cards, milestone announcements, or artwork for your home, my goal is to create portraits that feel genuine and stand the test of time.

My approach is calm and supportive. I guide when it’s helpful, take care of the lighting so you don’t have to think about it, and help you look your best without forcing stiff or unnatural posing. These sessions are meant to feel easy, not like you’re performing for the camera.

I also photograph the quieter moments that show personality and real connection, the subtle interactions, natural expressions, and small details that often become the images people love most.

Whether you're marking a milestone or simply want portraits that feel real and meaningful, I’m here to create images that reflect your personality and the love you share. Together, we’ll create portraits you’ll be proud to pass down and display.

FAQ

What is a Print Release?

A print release allows you to print the images on your own for your own personal use and share them on social media.

When will we get our photos?

You will receive an online gallery link to your images within maximum 3 weeks.

How many photos are included?

The number of hand-edited digital images in each package is mentioned in the description. You can purchase extra images beyond the ones included for an extra fee of $20 each. You also have the ability to purchase the whole image gallery if you need more pictures than what is already included.

Can I make additional editing requests after I receive my images?

Images in your gallery include light retouching and color/tone editing. The editing style cannot be altered after delivery as it would not be an accurate reflection of my work. Additional fine retouching requests can be made for hair, skin, background, and other alterations for an additional $20 per image.

Note: At this time, I deliver digital images only. Clients are welcome to print their photos using the provided print release.
