2023 PORTRAIT SESSION PRICING
THE COLLECTIONS
LOVE, Sarah Kate
I am so excited that you are interested in choosing me to document your family! I believe in real moments and chasing sunsets. In the kinds of images that remind you of the joy that can be found in the simplest of moments together. I believe in images that are itching to be printed, placed in beautiful frames and hung on walls for years to come.
I began capturing images on film at the age of 22 when I enrolled in a film photography class at my university and dusted off my mom's old Pentax from the attic. The limited amount of images on a roll of film forced me to put our camera phone down and really observe the beauty in the world, and the people around us. Whenever I pick up my camera, I strive to create beautiful and emotional images that tell a story and showcase the beauty of both the people in the images and the world around them.

This is definitely a question I would have had before I was a photographer, so you're not alone!
Short answer: There's more extensive editing. -- Babies are typically born with stork bites, baby acne, dry skin, yellowish or redish skin, etc. and this is totally normal! In order for everyone to have natural looking skin, I have to double edit every photo. First, I'll edit the whole family. Then, I'll select just the baby from the photo and edit the baby! Additionally, Newborn Sessions require more time if they're in home or a studio fee if they're in the studio.
Why is there a price difference for Newborn?
The sooner the better! Our weekends tend to fill up pretty quickly - especially during the spring and fall, so the sooner you reach out to us, the more likely you are to get your desired date!
To reserve your date, we'll need a contract as well as a deposit. And if something comes up and you need to change your date, just let us know!
HOW FAR IN ADVANCE SHOULD WE BOOK?
Unless you've modeled professionally, you're probably going to feel awkward in front of the camera. Heck, I take photos for a living and I even feel like a deer in the headlights when I'm in front of the camera.
You're going to feel awkward at first, but as the session goes on and I coach you through images, I think you'll find that being photographed can actually be fun. And don't worry about your kids. I'm well versed in capturing even the busiest of little ones.
We're Awkward and my kids don't sit still.
No one wants to look like a wet dog in their photos so if it looks like it's going to rain, snow (God forbid in SoCal), hail or some other weather catastrophe, we'll be in touch via email or phone to reschedule.
WHAT IF IT RAINS?
Within a few weeks of your session, you'll receive a link to a digital gallery that will allow you to download high resolution images.
The gallery is also set up to make ordering prints, canvases and other keepsakes as easy as turning on a Roomba to clean your floors. No worrying about tricky things like color correction, DPI and image format.
How will we receive our photos?
faq
After photographing hundreds of portrait sessions over the past few years, I’ve found that I'm not the perfect fit for every family - and thats okay! My style is light, bright, and airy - I strive to edit all my galleries consistently so you know what to expect. It's like home decor, there are a lot of beautiful ways to style your house but we all have styles we lean toward.
If you're not sure my style is what you're looking for, let's chat! I’ll answer any questions you might have about working with me and figure out if we’re the best fit for each other.
LET's CONNECT
Once your date is reserved, we'll connect to start chatting about possible locations for your session. We generally recommend choosing one location and if it's a place you haven't been before, it might be helpful to visit during the time our session will take place. That way you have an idea of the light, crowds, closing time, etc! If you're not sure about where you would like to take your photos but you have a general idea of the look you would like, just let me know because we would be happy to recommend a few locations based on your aesthetic!
LOCATION
If picking out outfits for photos takes you back to your high school days when you literally tried on everything in your closet and piled it on your bed but still felt like you had nothing to wear, you're in luck.
I have a client closet and can help you put together outfits for every member of the family (even Fido!)
waRDROBE STYLING
On the day of your session, we'll connect to make sure the weather still looks like it's going to corporate. We'll exchange numbers and finalize our meeting location. Please plan for your session to take about an hour from start to finish.
The SEssion
All images from our sessions are typically delivered within about three weeks of the shoot date via an online gallery. This gallery will allow you to share your favorites with family, order prints and even download images to share on social media.
DELIVERY
We are proud to offer our clients a variety of ways to turn their images into keepsakes. Wall-mounted canvas prints to decorate your home, beautiful handmade albums and more.
And we offer a lifetime guarantee on all our products so you never have to worry about the quality of your investments fading over time! What a special way to remember this season you’re in!
