Session Information

Which kind of session is best for you?  Do you need a full session or a mini-session?  Would a Baby Plan or a Family Plan work better for you or not?

A full custom portrait session is our signature session, it is what Carla thinks of when she envisions a session with a family or children.  It includes the following:

  • 1-2 hours at a location of your choice
  • unlimited clothing changes
  • a minimum of 30 images in your proofing gallery
  • includes all members of one family
  • pricing from the current print pricing book
  • requires a $100 session retainer to hold your spot
  • has a minimum purchase requirement of $100

Mini-sessions are offered at special times of the year, and are generally offered around a specific theme.  A popular mini-session is our holiday card mini-session.  These include the following:

  • 15-20 minutes at specific location of Carla’s choosing
  • a minimum of 5 images for proofing
  • is limited to 4 people in the image
  • pricing is generally a special “mini-session” only pricing
  • requires a $25 session retainer to hold your spot
  • minimum purchase requirement of  $50

The Baby Plan is offered to families with a child under the age of 6 months at the start of the plan.  There are 4 sessions, and you have 18 months to complete the sessions.  This includes the following:

  • 4 full custom portrait sessions in locations of your choice
  • 1 8×10 from each session
  • 24 page 5×7 album
  • 1 digital image
  • “locked” in to the current pricing book
  • 25% discount on purchases of prints off the al a carte pricing
  • $400 to join – (an $1100 value without the discounts on other prints)

The Family Plan is a wonderful option for those families who know they will be getting portraits taken of someone in their family at least every 6 months.  I’ve had families use this where the Grandparents bought it and used the first session for a large family session (paying extra for the extra family members), then had each of their adult children use one session for their family portraits, then a special session for someone.  Or another family bought this to do a full session of each of their 3 children, then one session for the family.  However you choose, here is what it includes:

  • 4 full custom portrait sessions in locations of your choice
  • 2 years to complete all sessions
  • 1 8×10 from each session
  • 24 page 5×7 album
  • 1 digital image
  • “locked” in to the current pricing book
  • 15% discount on purchases of prints off the al a carte pricing
  • $400 to join – (an $1000 value without the discounts on other prints)
