General Information
I am located in zip code 29710 and am available for on-location sessions in North Carolina (Charlotte, Gastonia, Concord and surrounding areas) and South Carolina (Lake Wylie, Clover, York, Fort Mill, Rock Hill and surrounding areas).

I will work with you to determine a suitable session location that is convenient for us both. If you have a particular location in mind, please be sure to let me know. If you would like to have your session at a location that requires an admission fee, you will be responsible for covering that cost.

Digital Negatives
Your session will result in at least the number of fully edited digital negatives (i.e. digital photos in JPG file format) listed in the session description. I will provide you with a print release along with information regarding recommended print labs and other information that will help you make the most of your photos.

Each digital negative will include both color and black and white high-resolution versions of your image suitable for printing. It will also include web-ready color and black and white versions of the image that can be used for Facebook, your blog, emailing and any other website. Note: because these web-ready images will be properly size and sharpened in order to look their best online, they will not be suitable for printing. Only the high-resolution versions should be printed.

Additional editing maybe be requested for $25 - $50 per photo (price depends on complexity of editing requested).

Prints and Other Photo Products
No prints or other photo products are included in the session fee. Because you will be given the digital negatives, you can have your photos printed wherever you would like. However, if you would like me to order your prints for you from my professional lab, I would be glad to do so! I highly recommend that you order wall prints (photos 11x14 or larger) though me. When I order your prints, I will carefully crop your photos to the correct size so that each one will look its best at whatever size you order. 

I also offer a variety of other photo products that I custom design just for you, including but not limited to: birth announcements, cards, ready-to-hang wall art, and accordion albums. See more examples here.

Pricing information for prints and/or products is available upon request.
