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

Snapshot of Your Photographer

By
I love that so many of my clients come back to me time and time again for more photos, and its been so much fun getting to know so many of you. I'd like to share a little more about your photographer! I'm hoping to give you a snapshot into my life on a more regular basis, and use it to tell you more about myself! Here we go!  So here is where the photo processing magic happens. My husband is a graphic designer, and with my need for perfected photo editing we share the Mac when it comes to our work projects.  So this is our work place.  I'll use this photo to tell you a little more about ourselves.  1. We love our cat. We got Lady Grey about a year ago, she was a stray that the Humane Society picked up. We fell in love right when we saw her. It took a few days to name her, but because of our love of Twinning tea...we went with Lady Grey. She has such a strong personality, and so naughty! Our photography business and our etsy page is both named aft...

Photography 101

By
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 ...

The J Family

By
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!
