Session Only

To book the session only and add on products and prints later, choose from one of these options!

All tabletop “gift prints”, wall portraits, acrylics, albums, and other photo products are available A La Carte after the session.

A La Carte

Whether you want to build your own collection from scratch, or add services to an existing package, these individual rates will help you get exactly what you need.

Painted Portraits

For a romantic, artistic, and old-world style. Photographs are captured in studio, then digitally hand-painted (no, this is not a filter) using a special stylus and software to give the background, skin tones, and dress the desired effect.

The image is printed using a Giclee style process, creating a rich velvety finish, over which a thick clear acrylic medium is added to give the surface a tactile painted feel.

Customization and substitution within packages available. See Karrie for more info.

Package and Booking F.A.Q.

What is considered a “look”?

A “look” is basically a change of outfit, perhaps an update to the hair style, or a change of scene or backdrop. For simplicity’s sake though, we generally think of a “look” as a change of clothes.

What is considered a “location”?

The term “location” essentially means picking up our setup (lighting, gear, wardrobe, assistant, vehicles, etc) and moving to a totally new area. This might be as simple as going from inside the studio (Location 1) to out by the Customs House (Location 2)….or it might be as involved as getting photos first at Mallory Square (Location 1), and then heading to Fort Zach (Location 2).

The “looks and locations” indicated in the packages are general guidelines for what is realistic in the amount of time for that given session. While it’s certainly possible to squeeze more into the same amount of time, I caution against trying to rush too much for the sake of an extra dress.

Can I swap products and services within a pre-designed package?

Yes. Products can be swapped for other products of the same value (ie, instead of a matted print set, you opt for a wall display instead), or applied on the account as a Gift Card that you can redeem after the session. Services can similarly be swapped with other services, with the exception of complimentary services, since they are offered as a gift.

Are we able to add more time to our session after booking?

Yes! If you decide later that you need more time to cover everything, you’re welcome to add it on later.

Do you shoot more images than are included in the package?

Yes! I will capture a variety of poses, compositions, and groupings of family members. You will receive a set of proofs to look through and select your favorites for your order.

How do we redeem our prints/images after the session?

After your session, we will schedule a Viewing and Ordering Appointment - either virtually/by phone, or in person if you’re still in town - where you’ll narrow your favorites and choose your images. The edited proofs will be accessible in your Online Gallery where they can be viewed and shared.

Are we required to order during the Ordering Appointment?

We have three goals during the Viewing and Ordering Appointment: (1) Present your images to you and help you narrow down your favorites, (2) Showcase the products, papers, and finishes we have available so you can see them in person, and (3) Help you Place your order for the products you love most!

While my hope is that you love your images so much you want them all (wink!), there is no hard sell. I have clients who buy 1 Print, and I have clients decorate every room in their home with their images. What you choose is completely up to you!

Do you offer payment plans?

In most cases, yes! If you have your eye on a particular package or product, but need a little extra time to pay for them, just reach out to me and we will create a custom payment plan that works for you. Generally speaking, my “Session-Only” options can be split into 3 or 4 payments, and extended up to 60 days after the session, while Packages can be split up to 12 payments, and extended up to 6 months after the session. Additional fees, terms, turnaround, and delivery policies may apply, so please reach out to me if this is something you’re interested in.

Am I allowed to make my own prints from the images?

Your Retouched Digital Files (quantity varies by package) are unwatermarked and suitable for printing. While we do make the case in THIS ARTICLE on the subject of printing your own VS having us print them for you (free retouching, anyone?), ultimately you are welcome to print those included files at the lab of your choice.

Any additional digital images visible in your gallery, but not included in the package, are available for social media sharing and screen-viewing only.

What if the weather doesn’t cooperate?

Thankfully, when it rains in Key West, it’s not usually for very long, so most of the time, a bit of rain simply means we adjust the time of the session that day. If, however, it’s enough of a doozie to put a damper on our plans, then we would just reschedule to the next open day/time slot. If your travel schedule won’t allow this, then we will just move locations to a spot we can shoot without getting wet (inside the Fort at the State Park, the Customs House, my Studio and surrounding Truman Annex area, etc). If it’s any consolation, in the almost-10 years I’ve been a photographer in Key West, I’ve only ever had to reschedule 2 sessions to an entirely different day due to unavoidable torrential rain.

Can we (parents/family) be in some of the photos together as well?

Absolutely! This is actually a great time for parents to have an excuse to get dressed up too! What I typically do for this is schedule the family photos at the end of the shoot, so the desired parties can convene at a pre-planned time, and we make these our last set of images for the day. Just keep in mind that it will reduce the time available to capture your child’s other images. If desired, you can also just add an extra 15 or 30 minutes to the session for these group family images.

Can my child bring her pet?

Yes! Just keep in mind that unless they have strict obedience training, they may affect the timing of your shoot and reduce the number of areas/poses and overall variety we can capture during your session. As long as that is okay with you, then we’re good! (And again, you’re always welcome to add on more time to the session if you choose). I actually have a background in training animals - weanling Thoroughbred horses, to be precise - so I have patience like you’ve never seen. Bring treats and a favorite toy, and come with a sense of humor.

Is it possible to include a special prop/book/instrument/sports jersey/special memento into some of the images?

Absolutely! I love adding in creative elements that are special to you. Whether it’s a pair of cowboy boots or a favorite hat, a clarinet or violin, a tennis racket or soccer ball…if these items are a part of your identity or heritage, we want to feature them.

Can we take photos at our favorite….ball field/restaurant/attraction/etc…?

Yes! As long as the proprietor of the location in question will grant written permission for us to be on their property, I would love to incorporate images at a place that has special meaning for you!

All this sounds great! What is required to book?

We will send you an online contract with your package selections. Once that is signed and we receive your 50% deposit, you’ll be officially booked.
