Choose Your Photo Session Based on Your Budget
Less than $100
If your budget is less than $100, Pop-in Photos is the right session for you.
I host Pop-ins once a month, it is strictly pre-paid via the Pop-in website. Every month you can 'pop-in' to my studio to get one (or two) photos of your baby sitting on the 'Pop-in chair.
Pros:
- Only $25 per photo.
- Track your baby's growth monthly.
Cons:
- No time flexibility (it's only open for one hour at a specific time and date once a month. There are up to 20 babies booked for the same hour.)
- No pose flexibility (the photo is of one baby sitting on the 'pop-in' chair, no alternative offered.
- No siblings or family shots.
Around $150
If your budget is around $150, it is the cost of a quick session inclusive of one high-resolution digital photo. This is perfect for professional headshots.
Pros:
- You can choose the session time and date that suits you from my online calendar.
- You can choose your favourite photo(s) straight away.
Cons:
- Not suitable for babies, toddlers, or young/shy children, as there is no time allowance for them to warm up.
$190 - $270
If your budget is around $190-$270, jump on my mailing list to be notified of themed mini-sessions. I host these only 2-3 times a year, They are short 15-20 minute sessions with a specific set-up or theme. Some themed sessions may be in studio, some may be outdoors at a specific location. They're often one-day (or one weekend) only with limited availability.
Pros:
- They are a fraction of the cost of a full session.
Cons:
- The studio is set up for specific themes. There's no option to change.
- Short sessions, jammed-packed days. No room for running late.
- They're one day (or one weekend) only, and tend to be booked up quickly. So you need to jump on to book as soon as they're released.
$540 or More
Most of my family photo sessions fall into this price category.
Your first step is to choose a session that suits you, whether it is indoors or outdoors, playful or formal. My online calendar makes it easy for you to choose a time and date that suits you, and my client portal allows you to reschedule your session if needed.
Once you have booked, we can discuss your preferred style and backdrop choices in detail. We will also chat about what you plan to do with your photos (wall art? albums? or just digital files?) so that I can cater to your specific needs.
Pros:
- Booking via my online calendar, there is lots of dates and times to choose from.
- Flexible, you can reschedule online if someone is sick.
- The session is fully tailored to you, you have full control over colour, style, props, etc.
- I usually allow 1 hour or more for the session, giving your little ones plenty of time to warm up if needed.
- You don't have to decide on the final package until after you've viewed your photos.
Cons:
- None.
