With the new year also comes new props, backdrops, equipment, etc. Please keep in mind all of these changes took a lot of thought and are to better help me serve you and to help me keep my sanity.
While 99% of my clients (aka families) are amazing, you always run into people who are just never satisfied or don't really take into consideration the time and talent that goes into producing wonderful memories you plan to put in print. A photographer is not some who points and shoots. They visualize the image before the camera even comes up to their face. I've have literally laid in bed the night before a session thinking to myself "what can I do with or for this client to make their family pictures unlike anything they've ever seen before". I don't show up to the shoot with absolutely nothing in mind as to what to do. It's all premeditated....for the most part. Its always an IDEA, never what actually happens. You will never get a 3 y/o to do exactly what you ask of them, lol. You improvise with your idea and go with it, all the while using your surroundings and the energy of the child to tell a story. Capture the moment!

New rates can be found on the website at http://audreyandersonphotography.com/ under the SERVICES tab or here on the FB business page http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=146281872085265 .
If your session is booked Mon-Fri, it is the price as before ($75......$60 if booked 30 days in advance)
Weekends however are now ( $100.....$80 if booked 30 days in advance)
What will you get with your session? All images will be uploaded to a private gallery. (There is still no limit on images so the exact amount of how many there will be is undetermined.) From this gallery, you will then choose 10 of your favorite images and you will receive a CD with those 10 and full printing rights. Each additional image is $5 or you may purchase the entire collection for $25.
Why this change from receiving 20+ edited images? Believe it or not, I have people receive 20 images and complained about 1 single one for one reason or another. This way, you can pick the ones you want and know those were the ones that best suited what you were looking for with your session. Believe it or not, even receiving 1 fully edited image and printing rights is few and far between. Most photographers won't even give you this option and if they do sell you the images, you can sometimes pay upwards to $300 for them.
How many wardrobe changes? You will now get up to 3 wardrobe changes. This is because after 2, kids are over it! I don't want your little bundle of joy to be upset for any reason and why waste precious time of changing into the 5th outfit when we could be having fun and getting great shots!
Do I get any prints? Yes, you will get (2) 8x10 prints and they most be picked from the 10 CD images. They do not have to be the same image.
How much time do I get for the session? You get approx 60 mins. This does not mean you ONLY get 60 mins....some kids love having their pictures taken and the session can be done and over in the 60 min time frame. Some kids do NOT like having their pictures taken. For these sessions I do allow for an additional 30 mins but it is at my discretion. Please keep in mind I may have another appt or my own family to spend time with as well.
What about mini sessions? I will still offer seasonal mini sessions. Usually only 1 but don't be surprised if another pops up at the end of the season to get those that either can't afford the higher fee or just wasn't able to get in for a full session. These sessions are a first come, first serve basis and are prepaid in advance. No refunds. This is because I book back to back for these sessions and if you miss your appt, I obviously can't re-book it, nor will I have time to do anything else but sit there and wait for the next person. These sessions also have a new rate and are now $35 and come with no wardrobe changes, 5 images (others can be purchased for an additional $5 each or $25 for the entire collection) and will now last 20mins. This session does not come with prints.
