The distinctions between my "Classic," "Deluxe," & "Premium" portrait sessions typically boil down to each individual client. Each level provides different benefits and cater to varying needs, desire & budgets.
Here's a general breakdown of what you can expect with each:
My “Classic” portrait session offers a simple, no-fuss photography experience ideal for clients who want professional photos without the time or expense of a full-length session. Lasting about 30–45 minutes, these sessions typically yield 15–20 final images. The session includes one outfit and one chosen background or location, making it perfect for individuals, couples, or families needing a few key images—whether for updated headshots or when time is limited.
In Essence clients who prioritize convenience, affordability, and efficiency, and who don't require an extensive variety of shots or a highly customized experience, will find this portrait session option to be a fitting choice.
My most popular option is the “Deluxe” session—your all-out, fully-loaded photo experience! With 90 minutes of shoot time, multiple locations & outfit options, you'll have plenty of room to show off every side of your awesome personality. No rush, no pressure—just a relaxed, creative vibe that gives us time to explore different styles, settings, and poses. You’ll end up with a bigger, more diverse gallery full of photos you'll love (and lots of great options for prints and products). It’s a perfect fit for big families, little kiddos, stylish couples, engaged lovebirds, branding rockstars, graduating seniors, and anyone wanting to capture more than just the basics.
Clients who prefer the deluxe portrait sessions are those who value both Quality and Experience, & are generally looking for a more comprehensive and personalized experience that goes beyond standard photography offerings. If you're seeking high-quality images & a memorable, personalized experience during the photo session, look no further!
The "Premium" portrait session is the pinnacle of luxury and personalization, designed for clients who desire an elevated, fully customized photography experience. Ideal for celebrating significant life milestones, creating timeless family legacy collections, or crafting an artistic and one-of-a-kind portrait series, this 2-hour session is all about capturing your vision in a thoughtful, immersive way. Every detail—from wardrobe styling to location selection—is carefully curated, with the option to include cinematic portrait video and advanced digital enhancements. Your final collection will be professionally edited and beautifully presented in a high-end slideshow and private online gallery. This package also features premium keepsakes, including an heirloom-quality album and wall-sized prints—perfect for displaying your memories with elegance and impact.
Clients who prefer premium portrait sessions are those who recognize & value the investment in professional photography, prioritizing a high-quality, creative, & personalized experiences over lower-priced alternatives. Premium portrait clients understand the value of documenting significant life events & creating lasting memories through high-end imagery. This client type seeks the artistic skill, professionalism, personalized service, & both the tangible and intangible value that comes with a high-end photography experience. They expect exceptional results & meticulous attention to detail in every aspect of the service, from consultation to final delivery.
If you consider yourself to be a value-driven client who is seeking the craftsmanship, creativity, & expertise of a high-end photographer, & who views professional photography as an investment rather than a commodity, this session option is best suited for you.
In Summation, my classic session is best suited for clients who prioritize convenience, affordability, and efficiency. For clients who value both Quality & Experience, hoping to enjoy the best of both worlds, my Deluxe Session is the best option for you! However, If you are a value-driven client who values the craftsmanship, creativity, & expertise of a high-end photographer, & who views professional photography as an investment rather than a commodity, the premium session option is best suited for you.
In essence, these tiers allow me to cater to a broader range of clients with different desires & budgets, while capturing beautiful portraits for everyone to enjoy.
Regardless of which option you choose, for whatever reason you choose it, you can expect high-quality images & a memorable, personalized experience during the photo session!
