family photo investment


INVEST IN YOUR MEMORIES!
Light & Shadow Photography gives you a priceless gift:
THE GIFT OF YOURSELF!

There are precious few photographers out there who understand the value of what your memories mean to you.  You are a work of art and I believe you should own the wonderful images of yourself and your loved ones.

If you were to go to a regular photo studio, you would be told that your sitting fee is very minimal, and yet when it comes time to get prints made, (that is what you wanted, right?) you end up spending more for less.  You spend more than you had originally planned and agonize over which prints to order (and which to leave behind).

 For example, you spend $75.00 for a sitting fee and then have to pay $40 or more  for a single 8x10.  For just a dozen prints, you would pay over $550.00.  The prints begin to add up and you find that you can't purchase all of the images you love.  You struggle over the choices.  And the price.

At  Light & Shadow, I do things a little differently.  With the advent of the digital age, the possibilities for finishing photographic images are endless.  You receive images of yourself skillfully, exactingly and artistically captured and created that are yours for a lifetime.  Instead of being surprised by the price and your loss at the end, at Light & Shadow, you are provided with a flat fee option with each package.  No surprise, no agony, no loss.

I simply cannot sit by and let you settle for a few images.  I want you to be able to own all of your own images for a lifetime!  This is why I include a CD with your images hand-finished in both vivid color and artistic black & white.  Each high-resolution image you receive is captured on CD forever.
With these CD images, at any time, you can choose to make whatever size prints you want.  The applications - prints, webpages, blogs, greeting cards, canvas, video, email, business cards - are limited only by your imagination.  You have control.

You will receive 4x6 prints of your images with each package.  This way you can compare the quality of the online lab I use with the prints you can have made.  I can provide you with the name of the professional lab I use, if you wish.  You will be amazed at the small amount you will have to invest when you make your own enlargements!
You pay less.  For more.  Forever.

CD of all “proofs”
$250.00

I have had so many clients ask me for all of the images from our time together.  I haven’t wanted to give out any “proofs” of my work because I like to custom finish each image before having it printed.  However, if you would like the “proof” versions to document our time together, I have been persuaded to give them up!  I won’t be able to fix any blemishes, spots, bags under the eyes, etc. on these proofs.  They are straight out of the camera!
