Howdy!
Investing in pictures is always a good idea, but you are a super smarty-pants for grabbing this killer deal. I can’t wait to meet you and your family. You are bound to have some questions, so down below are some answers.
Scheduling
Dates and times are on a first come, first served basis. Sessions are generally held 1-2 hours before sunset. Keep this in mind when you’re planning when to schedule your session. Depending on your family’s schedule, you may want to schedule a weekend date or book your session soon before daylight savings time is gone.
Session rescheduling and cancellation require a 48 hour notice. No shows or cancellation with less than 48 hours notice may incur a $50 rescheduling fee.
Location
I am a location photographer. I have a studio that is used for consultations and ordering sessions, not for shooting. Common choices for locations are country/park settings and urban settings. No need to stress about where to have your session, just have a look around my website and let me know what you are drawn to. If you have a personal location in mind like your house or a family farm, please let me know and we will discuss whether it will work. All locations are to be within 20 miles of Fresno. Outside of this radius a small travel charge will apply.
Investment
You are not obligated to purchase anything beyond your deal, but there will likely be multiple images you simply must have after viewing your entire session. A typical order is $400-$800, but many clients end up spending much more. Click here for my current pricing.
Ordering
You will have an in-studio ordering session 1-2 weeks after your session. This is where you will pick the image for your DealSaver package. This is also the time you will order any additional wall portraits, albums or gift prints. Please make sure that any decision makers are present. You will receive an additional 10% off your order during this session. Please note that, while we love children, they tend to make an ordering session quite a bit more stressful than it should be. We advise that you secure a baby sitter for this session. That way you can enjoy your glass of wine in peace. Think of it as a little date night.
There is no online ordering for local clients. Online ordering is available for out of town clients but requires a minimum, pre-paid purchase of $300 + tax.
Style
While we strive to create the best portraits for your family, I do have a specific style to my portrait work. Please take the time to look through our online galleries and blog before purchasing a deal to know if our style is well suited for you. I am a consistent photographer, so if you like my work, then by all means get this Deal, because that is what you are going to get.
Extra Bits
Can you bring your family pets? Of course! Need more than an hour session? Additional time can be purchased for $50/hour. Need a back rub? Well, no, I can’t help you. Want to bring me cookies? Do it and I’ll photoshop Brad Pitt’s abs on your husband.
What now?
The best way to start the process is to contact us online. Of course you can call (559.471.8944) if you would rather or if you just have some questions. While you are online, please be a fan of our Facebook page, it’s what all the cool kids are doing.

Some guidelines for how to dress for your family portrait
Avoid shirts with graphics or logos. These will distract from faces and expressions in a photo!
Don’t be afraid of color.
Dress kids in clothes that will be comfortable to THEM.
Avoid wearing white if at all possible. This draws attention to the white clothing instead of the most important part of the photo, YOU!
Coordinating the family is not as difficult as it sounds. Do not, under any circumstances, come dressed alike. This is not a team photo, it is a family portrait. Instead of doing the “matching” thing, do the “coordinating” thing.
Here is an example of a coordinating set of family outfits:
