Here at Project Portrait we offer a wide variety of options when choosing your photography needs.  We offer indoor sessions, but recommend outdoor sessions when dealing with a family, or children.  When shooting outdoors we are better able to capture the child's personality and take in the beauty that surrounds us!

     A custom family photo session is a rare indulgence and something everyone should experience at least once.  A session with me is promised to be fun, relaxed, natural, and freeing.  Don’t expect to have to sit through stiff, super-posed shots. Instead, I like to set the stage and then let the characters play so that images are real, spontaneous, and fresh. This is not formula photography.  From coordinating your session day, to our adventures at the session itself, to the hours spent in my office hand-processing and editing each image, the experience is customized just for you. Browse the gallery to see more work from my portfolio and feel free to contact me to learn more.

Every session is what you make it, each session will include:

• A session lasting 45 min. to an hour and a half for up to 5 members of the same immediate family [ie. mom, dad, and children; pets do not count in this number]
• Session location, date, and time will be discussed in an initial phone or web consultation
• A clothing change 1/2 way through (if needed)
• The digital negatives on CD – after the session, I will delete images that are no good (out of focus, eyes closed, etc.), but then you get ALL the rest! There will be at least 50 files, but usually much more. These files will receive basic edits, but further retouching will be an additional charge
• Printing release for your digital negatives. (Files are printable up to 8×10)
• 1 fully retouched 8×10 enlargement of the client’s favorite image. This image must be chosen with 2 weeks of receiving your disk, and may take up to 4 weeks for processing
• Option to purchase additional prints at a discounted price
• Amazingly quick turnaround: your CD will be available for pick up or shipped to you within 2 weeks, usually sooner!

Personal session once a month if so desired
