Galleries for all sessions will include color-perfected ready-to-use digital images. Each package includes a specified number of customized images that include optimizing on Photoshop. Requests for additional retouching will incur additional costs.
For non-wedding photos, your edited photos will typically be available two weeks after your shoot. These are not proofs, but fully finished photos. Many people find that these images are great as they are, and no further retouching is needed. For those that do want additional retouching, you will choose the number of photos according to your package, and then you can expect an additional two weeks for your photos to be ready, depending on the amount and scope of edits.
For wedding photos, expect at least six weeks for galleries and another six weeks for any retouched photos. These times are not a guarantee; each session is unique and may take more or less time. If you have a deadline, please share that information at the time of booking to ensure we can meet your needs. Additional charges may apply for faster turnaround.
The following packages are a starting point for your wedding photos. If you don’t see a package that fits your needs, let us know and we can customize something for you. Galleries are delivered in color, but can include an additional full gallery in black and white upon request. Other terms you are looking for? Just ask.

An engagement session is a fun 2 hour shoot done prior to your wedding. It allows you to become comfortable with me as your photographer and me to get to know you better as a couple. You will have 50 edited photos to use for invitations and/or to display at your wedding.
Bridal portraits are a favorite tradition of Southern brides and their families. From the lush details of your dress to the intricate lace of your veil, your bridal makeup and hair, and all the emotions captured in a stress-free time meant just for you.
Up to 4 hours of coverage during the dinner and toasts. Each additional hour $150.
A second photographer allows us to capture more angles and more of the guests at the ceremony and reception. We recommend this for larger events. Starts at 3 hours of coverage. Each additional hour $100.
For weddings outside of North Carolina (plus travel expenses)

You know you will want to display your gorgeous photos for everyone to see for years to come. Choose your favorite prints in a variety of size options for your favorite album, frame, or keepsake box.
Our large canvases come in several sizes and are an amazing way to display them in any room in your home. Purchase several for a full gallery wall. These also make great gifts for family members!
A stunning leather flush mount album is the final masterpiece of your beautiful wedding. When browsing through the 30 pages of your individually designed 10” x 10” photo album, you and your friends can relive the story of your wedding day.
The album can be upgraded to a larger size and/or include more pages. These albums are customized for you, with many choices of color, design, and materials. You will be amazed at the beauty and durability of your album.
A customized box will be a keepsake in itself one day. This 3x5 box can be made with vintage leather and your favorite photo mounted inside the lid, or a solid wood box etched with your names and/or photo. These boxes are a terrific place to keep your loose photos. Great for a gift for family members for a special place to keep your wedding photos.

If you are a business owner or manager, you need to have an online presence. After a brief consultation, we will customize a plan for the shoot.

This session is the best choice for those who want to develop a strong brand. We will create a series of custom styled images for your website and social media. This will include 1-3 locations, and 3-4 outfits. We will start by doing a full styling session (for 1-3 people together) to enhance your look and create the right tone for your brand. The day of the shoot, we will do hair and makeup for 1 person. (Additional people can be added for additional fee). Then we will capture stunning headshots, lifestyle and action shots of you in your business or workspace, plus detail shots of your products or tools. The goal is for you to build the ‘know-like-trust’ factor, before they even communicate with you directly. Picture the Instagram account of your dreams!

I definitely feel strongly about wearing makeup in your photo shoot. Of course, it's your decision, but balancing skin tone, highlighting features, and adding definition can really help your photos have that extra bit of polish. And don't worry if you are very natural and never wear makeup! I can create a natural look for you.
Often people think we can just create a smooth skin finish by photoshopping after the fact. The truth is, while often possible, this can add a lot of time to the workflow, and slow down your gallery delivery.
And men, I'm talking to you, too! A bit of concealer or powder can really make your features stand out!
Unless you feel proficient with makeup, I suggest having a professional do it, because makeup for the camera is different than makeup for day wear. See a few images in our makeup gallery.

Makeup, Basic/Natural, $60
Makeup, The works, $85
If you need your edited photos returned faster than the stipulated timeframe, there will be a rush fee applied.
Rush Fee - 25% of the regular package price for portraits
15% of the regular package price for weddings
Online storage is a huge expense for photographers. I do my best to keep your gallery accessible for a few months. Once it has been removed, there is time and cost associated with re-loading it.
Re-Upload Fee - $40 per gallery
