Your investment

I believe with my whole heart that photos are an investment. They  are something that you keep forever, and then pass on for those you love, to keep forever.

All sessions require a sitting fee. The sitting fee is only for the photographer’s time and talent. This MUST be paid in advance and is non~ refundable if a session cancellation isn’t given within 48 hours. Please remember that my time is valuable too. It is very hard for me to replace a session if you cancel on me at the last minute! I would love to speak with you about my pricing. Please contact me 530-310-4751

Digital negatives are available after a minimum purchase.  Please contact me for pricing if you are interested in your digital negatives after reading the following:

What are Digital Negatives?
Digital negatives are the high-resolution digital images from your session . Think of them as the digital version of a film negative. Digital negatives can be added to any session in single prints or a whole CD

With Digital Negatives, you can print your own photos at home or your local photo lab. There are no restrictions on the size or number of you photographs you can print. Many clients will purchase digital negatives and then send out photographs to friends and family with thank you cards or just as a surprise gift. Other clients like the ideas of having a digital copy of all their  photographs for future use .

Why are digital negatives so expensive?
With my digital negatives, you are purchasing the right to reproduce unlimited copies of the images, not CDs, DVDs, or Digital Files. While one client might print a single 4″ x 6″ of every photograph from her session to make a giant album, another client might print several copies of one family photograph to send to extended family as a thank you, or holiday gift. The value to both clients is roughly the same even though the situations are very different. This is the reason for a “flat-fee” system on digital negatives -  you can print as many as you would like. That is quite the freedom. Digital negatives do NOT allow you to use your files online at any time. That is a violation of copyright. If you would like digital files, please just contact me. I would be happy to share low resolution files with you for online use with my logo only.

When you purchase digital negatives from me, you receive the highest possible quality version of each file. Many studios reduce the quality of digital files before delivering the images to the client to prohibit reprinting of images.  Like my prints and albums, I only provide you with the absolute best quality digital files.

If you need a replacement CD there will also be a charge associated with that.
