Pricing
These days, we all have cameras, and anyone can take a photo. They may turn out pretty decent. However, the fact that you are reading this website tells me you don't want to take a simple photo. You'd like something closer to art. That requires a bit more than a camera — you need an artistic "eye" and someone who understands how to discover art in ordinary people and things.
Putting a price on art is difficult, but doing business requires it. I do not have to make a full-time living from photography, so I think you'll find my rates reasonable.
Packages
Perfect for family keepsakes, senior photos, engagement announcements, and more. To keep travel time low, I suggest taking outdoor photos at Chehalis River Farm or on the adjacent Willapa Hills Trail State Park. We'll have to work around the weather and the light — golden hour is always my suggested time.
Same concept as above, except at the location of your choice. I'll do 30 minutes of site reconnaissance and 30 minutes of photography, with photos delivered electronically within 24 hours. I will sign over the copyright of the images so you can order any number of prints from your choice of photo labs.
Available anywhere in Lewis, Thurston, Mason, Pacific, or Grays Harbor counties.
Travel costs: 75¢/mile + $50/hour travel time
I come to your business or organization and take photos or videos of people, products, and/or facilities. You let me know what you are looking for, and we'll work together to deliver what you need — photos or videos for websites, social media, or marketing displays. I can do both wide-angle and close-up (macro) images.
These projects get a custom quote, but here are my typical rates:
