Family Portraits

We specialize in outdoor, natural light, family portraits. Shooting at sunset produces spectacular colors and the ocean is a wonderful backdrop. We also can shoot in parks and backyards. Talk to us and we can suggest a number of places that work well.

Our photographic equipment is 100% digital – from image capture through processing and printing you can be assured that we use the latest technology to ensure you get outstanding quality.

We charge $100/hour for a family photo shoot. Any significant travel time will be charged at this rate.

A preview of your photos will be available in a private gallery on our web site 24-48 hours following the shoot.

Prints

Printing is extremely important to us. We make every effort to ensure that your prints are of the highest quality. At each stage from image capture to printing we use a sophisticated color management system ensuring that the final printed colors are beautifully vivid and accurate.

We have two options for printing, online prints and custom prints. Online prints are ordered directly from your online gallery and are printed through a professional lab and mailed directly to your home. Custom prints are ordered through the photographer and are printed and evaluated by the photographer in consultation with the client to ensure the best possible print. The custom print cost is an additional 25% of the cost shown in the table.

Our professional cameras take photo’s in 3:2 aspect ratio. The preferred print sizes are shown in italic. Prints which are not 3:2 aspect will be cropped (e.g. 8x10).

Copies of any custom photo will be discounted by 50%.

Digital Negative

The ‘digital negative’ is the original full resolution image file. When you purchase a digital negative you obtain a personal-use license allowing you to make non-commercial use of the image for display on personal websites and computers, and for making prints.

For individual images we charge $50 per image. If you wish to purchase more than a few images we offer the following packages: 50 images for $400 or 100 images for $600. You may choose TIFF or JPG format. The image files will be delivered on a CD.

Mounts

We offer professional mounting of custom prints onto Gator board. Gator board is an extremely rigid and light weight material. The print is permanently adhered to the Gator board using a professional dry mount process. The result is a beautiful borderless print which can be directly mounted onto the wall.

The cost of a print mounted onto Gator board is an additional 50% added to the custom print cost above.
