Travel Fees

Due to gas prices being what they are, in some cases we will need to charge a mileage fee to travel to your chosen picture site. 30 miles (each way, 60 miles total) are included in our standard session fees. We will assess a $0.50/mile charge after that, to be added to your session fee, and payable at the session.

What does my session fee include?

Our session fee accounts for the photographer’s time and talent, as well as travel expenses. It does not include any prints. We keep our charges for this time to an absolute minimum, but need to account for the possibility that you may not be able to order prints right away, or even at all.

Why are Session Fees subject to state Sales Tax?

The State of California charges Sales Tax on all services that result in the creation of tangible property. Since your session will result in the creation of wonderful pictures for you and your family, we must charge California Sales Tax on the session fee.

Colorized Black & White:

  • $20/hour (in addition to B&W print cost)

Colorized or tinted black and white images are a fun and dramatic alternative to traditional black and white. You can choose to have as much or as little colored as you like. Colorizing an entire photograph gives it a fun antique look, while choosing one aspect to highlight makes a wonderfully artistic piece. Each image is hand-tinted with photo oils, and can be done relatively quickly (depending on the size of the print). Most take about 30-45 minutes.
