Portrait Sessions
Let's find somewhere special and get in front of the camera for some fun!
Portrait sessions include a password protected online gallery with all the best hand edited high resolution images for you to download & share, with printing rights.
Up to 2 hours + 2 locations // $700
Up to 1 hour // $375
30 minutes // $200
Booking
To secure your spot, a $100 nonrefundable retainer is required. This is credited towards your total. Clients are permitted to have one rescheduled session if the request is at least 48 hours in advance, except for sudden severe weather. After one permitted rescheduling, any further rescheduling will require an additional non-refundable fee of $100 to hold your new spot. If there is no rescheduled date within 30 days of a cancellation, you forfeit all deposits, and it cannot be applied to any future sessions.
There is a travel fee for portrait sessions outside of El Paso County, the fee varies based on the mileage.
Add an additional $75 fee for
extended/multiple family units in one session.
*plus tax
What To Wear
Try to avoid neon-type colors in natural settings. If one person is wearing a pattern, another person can wear a solid. You can follow this pattern with larger groups, or everyone can wear solids. Avoid large logos. Mixing and matching neutral tones works best. While jewelry is great, Apple watches don't look good in your photos. Leave your phones in the car or have one bag to tote around, bulky phones and keys in your pockets aren't a good look either. Feel free to bring things you'd like to incorporate in your session; for example, a blanket that coordinates with your color scheme, champagne or beers for engaged couples, a favorite toy or chair for a child, animals if they are well behaved, etc.
Session Info
It's important to be on time for your session. If you are running late, that will cut into your session time and we will still be done as originally planned. Arrive ready and have your things prepared. Showing up a few minutes before our scheduled start time will help us ease into the session without rushing.
I don't recommend bringing anyone with you who will not be in the photos; unless you specifically need their help (like a bridal or senior session with multiple items).
Sessions are held at a location of your choice or I can help recommend one based on the style you'd like. Almost all sessions are done outdoors, and the best time for outdoor lighting is either in the morning or 1-2 hours before sunset.
Please allow up to 2 weeks for your gallery to be ready.
Tax is not included in the session price.
"Jessica was not only super professional, she took amazing pictures! I have used a lot of photographers all over the country, and she got the pictures back faster than anyone I know. They were beautiful and she was a pleasure to work with. I will definitely use her again!"
