Digital files are not included in the session fee. These sessions are tough and the situations often come with high vet bills and expenses. I recognize it’s a trying time for most, emotionally and financially. My aim is to try to work with anyone’s budget for these sessions and not turn anyone down because of cost. Please reach out even if the above is out of your budget.
I believe in the power of prints in today's digital world. Professional photos are an investment and displaying them should be the end result. I want your kids to look through their baby album and see the way you looked at them with love and adoration. To walk by your family photos printed and hung on the walls of your living room. Kids LOVE seeing their images and knowing they’re part of a family. Memories last longer with a high quality product displayed in your home, rather than sitting on a disc or a computer. Media comes and goes. Computer hard drives fail and photos get erased. Generations to come may not have access to cd's or jump drives and may not be able to easily view the cherished photos if they're not printed. However, I also recognize the convenience of digital files and wanting to share your photos on social media and with relatives that don’t live in the same city or even country. Any purchased print includes a corresponding digital file for sharing online.
I believe having your photo taken should be fun and I'm so passionate about you 1) having the best time at your session with me and 2) showing it in those images for you to display for years to come.
All photo sessions currently take place in Chicago, IL. Travel fees may apply if outside of Chicago.
