Photo Session Pricing
Every great session starts with a conversation. Please reach out to us and we will respond immediately to set up a consultation to review our process, pricing, and your photography needs.
The retainer, which is applied towards your purchase from a session, is $1200. We also offer mini sessions and discounts when booking multiple sessions like maternity + newborn or our First Year Club.
Our Process
-
I do love the initial consultation. It's a quick call/Zoom and a nice way to meet when choosing a photographer.
Sessions start at $650 including the photo session and digital files. We also offer beautiful products like albums, prints, wall art, and gifts.
The consult is the best way for Lisa to share all the session details and to understand your needs and goals from the photo session.
-
After the consultation we will send you a proposal to walk you through an easy online booking process.
After booking you will receive a brief questionnaire, a session prep guide, and a link to your online portal where you can access invoices, emails, and prep guides.
-
In the studio, we have everything needed for your newborn and toddler sessions and many silks and dresses for your maternity session. We can have a call to plan your session and Lisa can advise on wardrobe.
-
I highly recommend that Mom has hair and makeup done for the session. Whether you go on your own or bring your stylist into the studio. For newborn sessions, Mom can be pampered and prep for family photos while we photograph the baby.
-
The day of the photo session should be fun and stress-free! Leading up you will have been given everything you need to prepare. Newborn sessions are baby-led so we take breaks as needed.
-
Within 10 days of your session your proofing gallery will be ready. Choose to have a gallery review and ordering session with Lisa via Zoom or view & select your images in an online private gallery.
Digital image packages start at $650, there is no session fee, most clients invest $1500 or more. We also offer only the finest albums, prints, wall art, and other products.
-
Digital images will be retouched and available to download within two weeks of ordering. Any products ordered will be delivered to your home. Your private online gallery is available long term so you can download and share anytime!
Fine Art Albums & Folio Boxes
The albums and folio boxes we offer for images from your photo session are not found anywhere else in the twin cities! Custom crafted in Europe, each album and folio box is custom-designed for your photos. They are absolutely stunning and will be cherished for generations.
Beautifully handcrafted, these albums and folio boxes use quality dye-based inks, providing rich colors and pure shades. The album pages are joined with lay-flat binding, allowing each spread to be uninterrupted. The folio box prints are matted or mounted, ready to display on a ledge or put in a frame.
Both include a presentation box with an option to add a stunning acrylic image cover and a built-in USB drive. A three-album set is available for grandparents to receive their own album.
Wall Art
We offer only the finest products available with quality fully guaranteed.
Create artwork to display on your walls, a joyful reminder for you and your family for years to come. Included in your session fee is a digital mock-up of artwork showing how it will look in your home. This is invaluable when making decisions about the size and other options.
