Investment

I called this section of the website "Investment" instead of "Pricing" because quality photography should be considered an investment, not just a service that was done.

Memories are made and can be savored for a lifetime through photographs. Don't you want the very best for your family? Make an investment in your memories.

Your Investment in Dandelion Photography's Sessions are as follows:

Session fees include:

All sessions, no matter who the subject, have a session fee of $200. These fees are due at the time of booking. Cash/checks are excepted as well as major credit cards/debit cards, which are excepted through PayPal.

1 - 2 hour photo session with photographer
15 edited proofs* to choose from for prints (black & white versions will be available too)
4x6 Prints of the 15 Proofs
location of your choice (I can recommend locations for you)
editing/retouching time
$100 print/digital file credit for use towards prints a la cart or a digital file CD
private online gallery for you and your family to enjoy your photos

NOTE: If you are booking Senior Portraits and would like to include a headshot for the yearbook (formal portrait), there is an additional $25 fee that will be added to the session fee.

Policies/Cancellations:

As noted above, payments are required at the time of booking. I accept cash, check, and credit/debit cards through PayPal.
Prices are subject to change at any time. But don't worry, if you book a session, your print prices are locked in for 30 days from the date of your session.
Proofs (edited images from photo shoot) will be made available online 2 - 3 weeks from the date of your session. I will call or email you to let you know when they are viewable.
Your images will be remain on file for 1 year from the date of your session. If prints are requested after this year is up, you will need to provide us with your digital file CD (if purchased) so prints can be made.
Session fee does not include any prints or digital images. Included in your session fee is a credit that can be used towards the purchase of prints or the digital CD.
Cancellations MUST be made within 48 hours of the date of your booked session to receive a 100% refund of your session fee. If canceled in less than 48 hours, you will only be refunded 50% of your session fee.

* Please keep in mind that at NO time will every photo taken during your session be made available to you. As the photographer, I have taken much time and care to choose the best photos from your session. They are chosen based on quality, composition, and overall beauty. You won't be disappointed in the choices we make available to you.
