1. Teen Photography Package: $250 (plus tax)

Package includes:

  • Two high-resolution digital images (a $100 value)
  • No minimum print requirement. You are not obligated to purchase a minimum dollar amount of prints. For a list of image prices, click here. Because you get two free digital images with your session, this means that your minimum investment is just the session fee. Of course, you are welcome to purchase as many photos as you like, but there is no requirement.
  • The photo of your choice for the yearbook, fully retouched and in the required size, delivered to the yearbook committee.
  • Pre-session analysis. Because current lighting conditions and framing is so important, I always get to our location 45 minutes before the client shows up to come up with a shooting plan that works best for that day.
  • Approximately one hour together at one outdoor location, within 15 miles of Issaquah. 
  • Three different outfits.
  • After the session, I spend time narrowing down the proofs to get the very best from the session. Usually, the proof set is 50-70 images.
  • From the proof set, I retouch about 5-7 of my favorites images, which gives you a chance to see what my retouching processes do. I put this retouched set on my Facebook page, which you are welcome to share or use as your profile picture. You just can't print them. (They are lo-res and watermarked.) I have developed some processes in Photoshop that pop background colors and textures, as well as some subtle facial retouching that makes you look your very best. Any photo you order will be retouched in the same way. 
  • Proofs will be in a password-protected private online gallery about week after your session. You can share this gallery with family and friends and they can order prints directly from it.
  • Gallery proofs will be available through the end of the school year. Nope, this isn't a typo. I've discovered that people like to give prints as gifts throughout the year (holidays, birthdays, graduation). So you don't have to decide everything in a week, I leave the gallery online until the end of June

2. Mini -Session: $125 (plus tax)

Mini-sessions differ from the full package listed above in the following ways:

  • One high-resolution digital image (A $50 value) is included
  • Locations and dates are limited
  • Session length is 30 minutes
  • No clothing changes
  • The proof set and the Facebook set is about half the number as in the full-package.
  • Note: Yearbook photo submitted free of charge

3. Headshot Only: $75 (plus tax)

This option is terrific for reluctant teens, or those who want a yearbook photo without the time commitment of a session:

  • Location is at my house on Lake Sammamish
  • Session length is 10-15 minutes
  • No clothing changes
  • There is no free high-resolution digital image with this package.
  • Note: Yearbook photo submitted free of charge

Facebook Photo Policy

I will upload an initial set of retouched photos (usually 5 photos) onto Facebook, 7-10 days after your session. These photos are "photographer's choice," meaning that I select a representative sample of the best photos. Additionally, for any photo you order as a print that is not in the initial Facebook set, you can request a lo-res copy for Facebook as well, free of charge. Please note that for photos beyond the initial set, a print order must be placed. No photos will be released without full retouching.
