Packages are $99 or $229 plus tax, and include all files on a disk, copyright release, and prints.  

It's about your style, your personality, and your year!
We (Kathy & Rick) are a very small business doing low volume, customized photography in a relaxed, fun atmosphere. We treat everyone as individuals and we plan your session around you, your vision of yourself, and your wishes. You get full disclosure of all prices right here on this web site -- there are no surprises or hidden fees when you come to the studio or when you order prints.

Many studios charge two fees -- a "session" or "sitting" fee for just taking your picture, then more fees for various print packages, proof books, or your picture files on a disk. We are different -- we include prints, files, and copyright release in every package.

You always get a disk with all of your high resolution files and a copyright release so that you can reproduce or publish your pictures any way you want, at no extra charge, and without a watermark (our logo) on the image.

You also get whatever print or file your school needs.

Standard Graduate Portrait - $99.00 plus tax

This is a portrait session that is quick and easy.

• You get eight to ten poses (you can have two changes of clothes within those poses) and then pick your favorite one immediately on our computer, right here in our studio.  
• We will fully retouch the pose you choose, make two 8x10 prints or equivalent*, and give you the retouched image and all the other poses on a CD.  
• You will also get whatever size file your school may need, or a glossy wallet print if the school needs a paper print instead of a file.
• A copyright release is on the disk so you can get prints made elsewhere, or publish on the web.  Delivery time is about two to three weeks.  

*Equivalent of two free 8x10s would be  2 - 8x10s, or 4- 5x7s, or 6- 4x6s, or 32 wallets, which is about $30 - $40 in free prints.  Sizes can be mixed in any combination.

Wallet prints are large, 2.5x3.5 inches with rounded die cut corners and your name and year printed on each one.

Expanded Graduate Portrait - $229.00 plus tax

In the Expanded Graduate, you get:

• 24 to 30 good poses, with up to 5 changes of clothes;
• a 6x8-inch soft-cover photo book, which you keep (with no logo or imprint on the images) and light retouching of all proofs;
• a proof page on our website;
• a CD with your image files and copyright release so you can get prints made anywhere, or publish on the web;
• four free retouched 8x10 prints (or equivalent*) of your favorite four poses;
  
• a print or file for your yearbook.
• the session takes place in our studio and at a nearby park, weather permitting, and will take 1-1/2 to 2 hours.
• Optional two free digital backgrounds or layouts.  See gallery of samples.

*Equivalent of four free 8x10 prints would be 4 8x10s, or 8 5x7s, or 12 - 4x6s, or 64 wallets, which is $60 to $80 in free prints, included in each package. Sizes can be mixed in any combination. Add more prints using the price list below.

Print Prices:  
In addition to the free prints that you get with the above packages, we can provide additional prints. Our print prices are:

• Wallets- 8 for $7.75  (Wallet prints are large (2-3/8 x 3-3/8) and have die cut rounded corners.  Your name and year can be added in a contrasting color of script type. )
• 4x6 - $6.49 ea
• 5x7 - $9.95 ea
• 8x10 - $16.95 ea

Display prints for framing, mounted on rigid matte board:

• 11x14 - $29.95
• 16x20 - $49.95

Canvas wraps and stand-out mounts are available 8x10 or larger, and we will quote current prices if you are interested in those unique products.  They will add $40 to $150 to the print price, depending on size.

Prints which are 11x14 and larger are delivered in a protective frame. 4x6 thru 8x10 prints are delivered in folders suitable for display.

Retouching of additional poses: $12 per pose. This is waived for print orders of $12 or more per file. So, if you order an additional pose, not included in your package, and order $12 or more in prints for that pose, there is no retouching fee.

One reason that we provide files on a disk is so you can purchase less expensive prints at local camera stores, retail stores, or on-line if that will meet your need.  This is especially true if you need quantities of prints. Avoid glossy paper -- use semi-glossy, luster, or matte. Our prints will always be better than any other source because of the high-end lab and personal quality control we maintain.

Note that photographic services and products are subject to state sales tax.

We accept cash, personal checks, VISA and MasterCard.

Planning your session:

When you arrive, we will take a look at the clothes and props you brought, we will suggest backgrounds, and we will ask you about your preferences.  But there are things you can do in advance to make the session as successful as possible.  Here are some tips:

Plan to have fun!  Our sessions are upbeat and relaxed -- we make you feel comfortable at all times so that you will look and feel your best.

Clothes:  You will need a variety of clothing.  You might want something formal and dressy, something relaxed, something sporty. Bring several colors. The more varied your clothing, the better!

Bring a helper:  We (Rick and Kathy) always work as a team, but if your mom or best friend wants to come, all the better -- they will be included!

Hair and skin:  You are responsible for looking your best, so pay attention to how your hair and skin will look.  You need to have your hair and makeup ready to be photographed. We have a secure and private changing area with a makeup mirror, and we keep mirrors handy so you can always see how you look.  Kathy and/or your helper will make sure your clothes look just right.

Props:  Bring your favorite things!  Items that reflect your interests will add greatly to your pictures. Think of your musical instruments, stuffed animals, sports items, uniforms, or unusual items you might have in your room, which would add interest and a personal sense of you to the portrait.

Don't rush:  You will be our only session, and we will not rush you, so you should dedicate the day to this event and have fun with it. Make it your last stop so you don't have to hurry off anywhere and can take your time at the studio.

Call us for a free consultation at 440-382-0028.  We are happy to meet with you to talk about all the details, way before the session.    We do not hard sell, so if you choose not to use us, that's fine -- no one will call if you decide not to book a session.
