Investment

My prices are simple. I start at just $65 for a session. I'm based out of Omaha, Nebraska and have reasonable travel fees as I love to travel! Sessions can be a large extended family photo, or a small newborn session. All sessions include digital rights to photos, available to you as a high quality download (mini session and package #1) or CD (all other packages), with all reprinting rights. See other packages below:

*The above sessions include 1 location, location changes start at $20
*Sessions canceled less than 48 hours in advance have a $25 cancellation fee
**Request cover photos and extra edits from C.D via email after receiving your disc



The only thing I vary on slightly are weddings. Weddings start at $90 an hour for weddings, with a 4 hour minimum. (Weddings do vary to include extra equipment, a second photographer, travel, desired edits, etc.)




The exception to the wedding pricing is weddings where I will be there an hour or less. This is to accommodate courthouse weddings, and elopements. I'm happy to keep the regular sessions fee for small events such as those (my husband and I did the same thing!) Weddings require more editing time, which is the reason for the higher charges.



Need more photos, more time, more edits? Just let me know and we can work out something that fits with your plan.


Ready for your session? Here are a few answers to a number of questions I get asked:

What do I wear?

*Wear Color! Photos are usually in nature, and the more color the better! 
*Go for Patterns! Don't be afraid of wearing neat patterns, they add (not distract) from photos
*Dress like yourself and what you’re most comfortable in!

What do I bring?
Bring anything you want in your photos! I love props, and love getting creative with them. Feel free to bring pets, sentimental items, outfit changes, hats, or neat things you've picked up at the thrift store. Let me know when we meet for your session what all you've brought with you, and let me know if you had a way you wanted to incorporate it into your session! 







Prints


There is a huge retail markup on professional photography prints, so I give my clients their photos digitally, with release, to print as you'd like. It saves you money by going directly to the printer source, rather than through me. When you print directly, the turnaround time is quicker, and you can print, share and do whatever you'd like with your photos. 



I suggest Mpix for printing, its a good quality printing website. They have not paid me for promoting their printing, from experience, it is great quality! For a little cheaper option, I've also had good luck at Costco from personal experience. Just make sure wherever you print you un-click the "auto correct" box that is often selected as a default when printing online. I do not recommend Walgreens, Target or CVS as their printing services are low quality

The J Family

Now this is one good looking family! Rachel has been one of my good friends for quite sometime. When we both lived in Lincoln while we were in school we actually spent one summer sharing a farmers market booth. She is fantastic, a wonderfully artsy individual who I envy for all of her great talents! Her family is just as wonderful! First, I'm always impressed when little boys do well in photo shoots. We had lots of great smiles, and very few bribes from mom to keep them in a good mood :)  I was so excited when they asked me to photograph their family for a Christmas card. We had a wonderful day at the park, I wouldn't even call it work! 

Zavier- 1 year

This weekend was the last of Zavier's photos for his first year! I've been photographing this little guy every couple months since he was in his mommy's tummy....and it has been so fun to watch him grow! The basketball themed photo shoot this weekend was the perfect way to celebrate turning one year old! 

Photography 101

I love photography, and I love how accessible digital SLR cameras are now. So many families now have good cameras, but don't know how to use them without Auto! Learning to take photos on Manual mode will change your photography dramatically, and you'll be able to tell the difference quickly!  I'm now offering one-on-one classes for just $35. If you want to bring a friend, together it will be just $55 for the two of you! If you're a mom or dad and want to bring a couple kids along for your model, go ahead! Its a great opportunity to take a few photos of the kiddos! How does it work? We will meet at a park, home, etc. and discuss a few of the basics and you can get going! I'll walk you through things you may have questions about and give you some great tools to keep learning and practicing!  What will you learn? I go over a few of the basics with you. We talk about ISO, Shutter Speed, and Aperture. We will discuss light and the basics to making the most ...
