Photo Sessions
Here's Carly and Randy's family looking for the first time at the album from our session together. Make sure you turn the sound on so you can hear the kids' hilarious commentary! To see the photos from this session, check out the blog post.
How does this work?

Get in touch with
Lifetime Lens!
Let's talk about how I can help capture your memories. Usually I come by my prospective client's home to meet the family, show my album and art samples, and to brainstorm about what would be fun or meaningful to preserve. We can chat by phone or Zoom instead if you prefer.

We meet at your home or another favorite location for your shoot. You'll find me to be flexible and genuine, and kids love me! Pretty soon you'll forget all about the camera. Just live your life.
After we part, I sift through all your photos and carefully edit the best of them. For most sessions, I also draft an album and mock up display art designs to show you.

A couple weeks after your shoot, I will come back to your home with all your lovely photos. This is when you'll decide what form your memories will take, based on my gorgeous album and wall art samples. You can order products exactly suited to your taste and the style of your home. This is also a great time to think about gifts for your family.

Once your albums and art are printed, I'll hand deliver them for safekeeping, and can even help get the art on the wall if you like. I come to you at every step. The whole experience is designed to reflect and fit into your busy life.

Photo Pricing
I believe that photos deserve a physical presence in our lives, where we can see them every day (to make us happy!) and remind our children of their place in the family. This is why I place such an emphasis on wall art and albums.
Booking Fees
My booking fee covers your pre-session consultation, the time spent with you during your session, editing of your images, and your photo ordering appointment.
It also includes a product credit towards your artwork, detailed below.

Artwork
Your product credit (see above) will be applied to the artwork you select at your image reveal and ordering appointment.

Album purchases come with digital versions of all the best images from your session (in social media size).
For more specific pricing info, please share what you have in mind for the session and how you imagine enjoying your photos.
My heirloom albums and art come from an amazing lab in Italy. I've compared the products from dozens of companies and found that this is the best color reproduction, the most touchable paper, and the highest quality framing and binding.
Update: Covid-19
I am pro-science and fully vaccinated and boosted against Covid-19. For the safety of my family, your family, and future clients, I am taking extra precautions with indoor photo sessions.
I am happy to shoot indoors under the following conditions:
-
All adults present are vaccinated and boosted, and all children over age 5 are fully vaccinated
-
Everyone feels healthy the day of the session. Better safe than sorry; I'm happy to reschedule if need be.
I'm not wearing a mask all the time anymore, but please don't hesitate to ask me to wear one if it makes you more comfortable. If Covid rates in the area go up, I may request that we all take rapid antigen tests the day of the session.
