Ok, the call to go to California has been heard. Not just from family, but friends, neighbors & co-workers of family. So, for right now, we are gathering the amount of interest. I know the holidays are coming, so we’re unsure about what time of the year would work best for everyone over there.
Not familiar with my work? Visit my website HERE. I specialize in maternity and children from newborns to teens. But I do a variety, so that includes high school seniors & families as well.
So for right now, here is what is in the works…
Basic Info
- We would need a minimum of 10 sessions to pay for just the gas to get there and back. Each session would be charged my “on-location” fee of $75. The fee will be paid prior to us leaving Washington. Fee is non-refundable.
- There will be 2-3 sessions done on one day – depending on the participants. (Babies/Toddlers take longer). Times slots will be posted and then filled on a first come, first serve basis.
- Hosts may be needed to provide an central area for sessions to be done. Right now, my parent’s home in Corona is the main area. If you would like to host sessions (1 day) in your home, please let me know and I will send you size requirements/needs.
- Proofs will not be available until after I return home, may take up to 4 weeks
- All orders will be shipped using the rates given within your online proof album. I use UPS 2nd Day Air, includes insurance on your portraits.
Session Includes:
- Up to 5 people, $5 for each additional person
- 1.5 hours of session time. Option to add time for $5 for each 30 minutes, due at the end of the session.
- Multiple clothing/backdrop changes as time allows
- Fee covers time & talent only. Prints/products will be billed separately
Dividing a Session -Invite a friend to split the fee & time
- $32.50 each, with 45 minutes each session (totaling 1.5 hours all together)
- Best for 1-2 children per session
- One clothing change & maybe one backdrop change
Now, what time of the year…
- November 2008 : 17-28, with all sessions trying to be complete prior to Thanksgiving
- December 2008: 22-Jan 2, with all sessions working around Christmas and New Year
- March 2009: 23-April 3, no holidays to work around
- June/July 2009: Unsure of dates at this time
So, what we need right now is to find out what time of the year works best for all of you in CA. Please use the comment form (click on the Title of this post) on this page with your name, email address and in the comments section, include the city you live in and who will participating in the session and what above date(s) may work for you. Feel free to copy/paste this to help you.
