Investment

Below are my 2023 rates. All sessions with me are simple and all inclusive.

Every session includes my time and your retouched high resolution digital images which you will download from your private online gallery within 2 weeks.

FIRST YEAR PLAN

$2,300 (4 sessions: can be paid in installments of $575)
My first year package is the traditional 3, 6, 9, 12 month intervals. I prefer to capture little ones during their major developmental milestones. Not all babies progress at the same time, and it’s important to have a cohesive collection of images that capture all the important things your baby will learn. Each session includes 25+ images.

1. Happy tummy time (typically 3-4 months)
2. Sitting up (6-9 months)
3. Crawling and standing (8-10 months)
4. 1 year (includes a 1st birthday cake smash).

*Bonus: we can ALSO capture some family photos too!

BOOKING YOUR DATE
A non-refundable retainer of 50% of your session fee is due within 48 hours of booking your date (invoiced via Venmo). Your session date will not be confirmed or held until your retainer has been received. The balance of the session fee is due within 48 hours of your session date.

WeekDAY sessions are defined as Monday thru Thursday. If Monday is a holiday, it is a weekend rate. WeekEND sessions are typically on Sundays. I find public locations such as parks, the beach, etc tend to be the least busy on Sunday evenings. Although I do book on Fridays and Saturdays, I find those days to be the most busy. It just depends on the location.

RESCHEDULES + CANCELLATIONS
When you plan your session date, you are setting aside time away from work, school or sports, etc. The same goes for me. Please be mindful IF you decide to reschedule. I too, have set aside time away from my family and our personal schedules for your session date.

-If you reschedule your session, please note that the balance is still due on the originally scheduled date 
-If you reschedule/cancel with less than one week's notice, a fee of $100 will be applicable in addition to your final balance
-All rescheduled dates must be within 2 weeks, otherwise your retainer will be kept, and not transferrable to your balance

PAYMENT
I accept cash, checks or Venmo for final balance payment due on your session date. 9.75% CA sales tax to be added to session fee above.

TRAVEL FEES
All sessions are on-location and outdoors within Santa Clara County or Santa Cruz County. There is an additional $30 per hour travel time fee to locations chosen outside of this zone. Additional fees may apply to locations chosen outside of the Bay Area.
