Special Event Pricing = $75/hour. Often when a birthday rolls around you will want to concentrate on enjoying the event instead of working as the "staff" photographer. Other times such as baptisms, graduations, and celebrating new arrivals to the family you know you will want to concentrate on the experience instead of worrying about taking photographs. These are the times to hire a professional photographer to get the shots you want as well as groups and those special poses you want such as images of those precious feet and hands. There are so many things that will have great meaning later in life. Let me do the worrying for you during these wonderful times. The price of Special Event sessions will produce a CD of full resolution digital proofs with rights for printing and no proof fees. Price includes post-processing in Photoshop.
You may also wish to document other events in your family history. I am available for those as well.
