Behind the lens photography pricing

I have been getting alot of calls lately for photography sessions, so I figured it was time to jot some info on here, to make it easier for my clients.

I have been taking photos on and off since 2008. I work primarily with my  trusty sidekick- my beloved Nikon D3200. I have a few different lenses that I use for sessions.

What type of photography sessions do you offer? 

I mainly specialize in these areas

• Newborn
• Family
• Maternity
• Senior
• Engagement/Anniversary
• Beach portraits
• Birthday parties
• Wedding/Baby showers
• Graduation ceremonies/parties
• Corporate functions 
• Head shots for business photos(Realtors, attorneys, models,etc.)
• If you are interested in having a wedding/reception done by Behind the lens, please feel free to contact me for an appointment to discuss pricing & info

Where can I have my photo session done?

I can come to your home, and photograph your session in the comfort of your own home. This works well for newborn photos. I can also meet you at an outdoor location, such as: the beach, railroad tracks, open fields, historic, or romantic scenery, or a location you desire. I also will attend birthday parties, anniversary, or graduation parties, wedding, or baby showers, or any other special occasion that you would like captured!

How much do you charge?

My baseline price for any session listed above is as follows;

• 1/2 hour photo session- $100.00
• 1 hour photo session-    $ 150.00 
• I charge $25.00 extra to travel farther than 10 miles out of Meadville. 

My pricing is based on time and expertise for your session. For your session, I require  you sign a consent to photograph form, basically giving me permission to take your photo, and use the photos I take for advertising and business purposes and giving you permission to print, and reproduce the images I provide you on a cd. I ask that the photos you receive from Behind the Lens not be altered, or cropped in any way.

What should be worn for the photo shoot?

For family shoots- coordinating the outfits works best! Avoid clothing with large logos or wording. This will distract the main point of the photograph- You! Solid colors work well, and denim or khaki's are excellent for outdoor shoots.

What can I expect to get back from my session?

Please allow approximately 1-2 weeks to get your photos on a cd back to you, so proper editing, and perfection can be achieved. 

For a half hour session you will receive about 8-10 different photos/poses on a cd.
For an hour session you will receive about 12-20 photos/poses on a cd.    

I want a session! How do I contact you to schedule photo shoot?

Please contact me via email @ behindthelensphotog@yahoo.com, or call/text me @ 814-374-2502, to ensure I am available on the day you desire. For outdoor locations, I suggest early morning, or late afternoon appointments to obtain the best lighting!
