So, let's talk turkey. 

The Number One thing every potential client wants to know is how much this is going to cost them. And it's a fair question. Money is hard-earned, and nobody wants to spend it on something they don't like. If you've made it this deep into my Web site, chances are you like what you've seen of my photographic style and want to learn more. That's great!

I had my senior pictures taken in the summer of 1998 (Gah!), and I have no idea what they cost. You'd have to ask my mom. But I know at least one of them is still framed and looking out with smoldering eyes from one of the bookcases as my parents' home. The point being, there's a reason I titled this page "Investment" and not "Pricing." Because you're investing in nostalgia. You're investing in the ability to look back at a photo in 10, 15, 20 years and use it to recall a time, a place. 

I want to make my work affordable. I want everyone to have those images. But I also know the value of my talent and my time (You would not believe how much of the process is spent in front of a computer making even minor changes), and I have to balance the two. 

You won't order prints through me. You'll receive a specified number of professionally edited images delivered to you by way of a digital album from the photography Web site Shootproof, along with a formal print release. I like to give my clients the freedom to print however and whatever they want. This is the digital age, right? Let's make use of it. I keep everything I do backed up, so if your files are ever damaged and you need another copy, let me know. I've got your back. 

"Okay, that's great and all, but how much does it cost?"

I'm just getting to that! I've tried to develop formal pricing for every type of photography with I have experience, but if you can't find what you're looking for below - contact me! Let's work something out!

So these photos are a team effort, and I love getting to know my clients as much as I love their response when they see the finished product. 

In the meanwhile, if you're looking for information on another type of session, shoot me an e-mail at lumosimages@gmail.com, and we'll talk. Seriously. Any questions, any time. I can't wait to hear from you!
