The print credit included in all of my collections is yours to use in your gallery store for 30 days and it cannot be removed from the collection. It’s built into my pricing because every fiber of my being believes it’s my job as an artist to make sure you have photographs to hold in your hands after your session. I believe this is how I can help you start that process.

Q & A

What’s the difference between a Session Fee and Collection?

The Session Fee reserves the date and time. Then you’ll purchase from Collection A, B, or C (with digital downloads + print credit) after you’ve had a chance to preview your images. Total investment ranges from $1,100 – $1,500.

When will we receive images?

You will receive your final images in a custom gallery 4 weeks after your session. Your gallery will be online for 30 days while you select and download your images and spend your print credit.

How many images?

You can expect to see approximately 60 images in your gallery preview.

What is print credit?

Print credit is equivalent to having a coupon code you’ll use to purchase prints, frames, custom books, etc. in your online gallery store. The 30 day timeline to use your print credit helps to keep you accountable to yourself and be intentional by helping you print images from your session.

How does the Fine Art Book design process work?

Once you receive your gallery, you can start to mark your favorite image selects that you’d like to include in the book. Choose as many or as few as you’d like. I then create a virtual draft of the book including those images, leaving space for your words if you’d like to add any.

Books can range from 50-100 pages. You’ll have the option to select the fabric, color, and any additional cover design options directly from my website. The options are endless but I’ll help you with decision fatigue and make this process feel seamless.

You may even add select personal iPhone images to print in your book. I would love to create a time capsule of your relationship and include a mix of personal iPhone images, and also images from your session.

What happens with the digital image downloads we didn’t purchase?

If you change your mind, you’re welcome to upgrade to another collection once you’re in your gallery store for an additional fee.

Also, keep in mind that you’ll still be able to order prints or books of ANY image in your gallery, not just the ones you selected to download.

Next Steps

1. Schedule a call

Use the link below to set up a time to chat about your session ideas, print credit, and how this process works. Usually 15 minutes is all we’ll need.

2. Book your session

All sessions require a Session Fee, which reserves your session and can be booked directly on my calendar. Session Fees are non-refundable and do not include digital images.

2. Purchase your collection

4 weeks after the session, a preview of the full gallery will be sent to you. Once you click the preview link, the preview will be available for 24 hours. During that time, you will purchase Collection A, B, or C, which includes digital download options and print credits. After you purchase your collection, you’ll have the next 30 days to access your gallery, choose and download the images you selected, and use your print credit.
