Your Investment
Simple is key to me. I prefer to allow you to choose exactly what comes with your service!
With our two step pricing setup, it gives you the opportunity to budget and get a quote specifically for what you want out of your portrait session.
Whether you are interested in just a few large pieces of wall art, an album, simple prints or digital images, we have everything clearly laid out and available for you to view. There are no surprises or unknown fees, that is the transparency I as a consumer personally prefer!
Our session fee is the first part of our pricing, this is the fee that is due at the time of booking. For most sessions, it is a $200 session fee. It is a non-refundable retainer for your session, which also covers the scheduled session, prep & shooting time, reveal session and of course talent, expertise, and extensive safety training! This is a bit different when talking about birth stories and events, however those are listed as well in the session information page if you need more information for those!
- The session fee does NOT include any prints, products, or digital images. Those are all purchased separately at your reveal session. -
The reveal session, is within 10 days of your session and is at our studio. This is where we view all of your beautifully edited final images over some snacks and refreshments, and chat about what you want to do with your portraits. You choose your absolute favorite photos out of your gallery, which can be a few or it can be all! And after that we take our time going over the options! If you choose to purchase wall art, I can help you design a beautiful set of perfectly sized photographs for your wall to display. If you are interested in albums or books, I create custom designs to ensure all of the photos fit perfectly to tell your story! If you purchase digital images, those photographs purchased are sent through an online gallery available to download with a print release.
Payment plans are offered directly through Chelsea Sylvester Photography if you need extra time paying for what you absolutely love! If you are interested in a payment plan, please reach out to me and I can help you determine your budget to stay within by utilizing our payment plans, or help you choose items that fit within your budget!
- All pricing is subject to change, once your session is booked you ARE locked into that session fee price.
You may purchase your products in advance if you would like to lock in to the print/product/digital price listed as well. -
