The Price

$200 Price

The $200 Price option is a portrait session with as many poses and outfits as can be squeezed into approximately one hour. I then go through the pictures, pick out about twenty and work my magic. The prints are all a la carte in the Nextproof site. If you only want one or two prints, this is the option for you. The disk of the twenty adjusted and duplicated in black and white images for this package is $350.

$400 Price

The $400 Price option is a portrait session lasting approximately 90 minutes with as many poses and outfits as can be squeezed into the time. I then go through the pictures, pick out around 35 – 40 images, adjust these images and email thumbnails to you. You pick out whatever picture you want and I make $300 worth of prints to be mailed to your house. The prints you order and the prices are all on the Nextproof site. Extra images on Nextproof are all a la carte and the CD of these images is $350.

I dare you to find a better portrait photographer cheaper than this doing family portraits in Bend.

The print prices range from $50 for 8 x 12 and smaller. The smaller prints are all cut from an 8 x 12 sheet. So for $50 you get 8 wallets, 4 4x5’s and 2 5x7’s. A 24 x 30 print costs $100 each.

Almost all the photos picked out are converted to black and white options. So you’ll get the color master, a black and white and some of these photos are doubled again using other techniques such as soft focus and cross processing. Each photo has the potential to be done several times using different processing techniques. These adjustments and choices for duplicating using other processes are all made by me and are done on a computer calibrated to match the prints done by my printer in Colorado. Any additional photographs you want changed or adjusted will cost $25 per picture.

 

Business Portraits

For business portraits the price and what you get will vary. Assume it will be around $400 and you will get digital files of the photographs. I do not keep every picture from business portrait sessions to save room on my hard drives. The final cut will be a very loose edit of adjusted photos. The photos will all be in color, unless you specify black and white. You can use them however you want, but you can't sell them to someone else or let someone else use them without my permission.

Head shots are done with a black background and they cost $80 per person. I don't use other backgrounds because each one would cost me $150 and not be worth keeping in storage in case they might be used by a different business someday.
