Personal Sessions: Portraits, Couples, Family, Maternity & Newborn
Our consumer sessions cover portraits, couples and engagements, and family, maternity and newborn photos. Every session includes professionally edited photos delivered within 72 hours, with no separate "digital files" fee.
Studio or outdoor?
Studio sessions cost a little less and are weatherproof, which makes them ideal for newborns, headshots and winter holiday photos. Outdoor sessions cost slightly more because we travel to the location you choose, whether that's a park in Fort Wayne, a field outside Columbia City, or somewhere near home in Auburn, Huntington or Bluffton.
30 or 60 minutes?
Thirty minutes works well for individuals, couples and small families who want one or two looks. Choose 60 minutes for larger families, multiple outfits, or young kids who need breaks.
Business Photography
Business photography costs more than personal sessions because it includes commercial usage rights, which means you can legally use the photos in advertising, on your website, and in print. Our $550 business shoot covers headshots, team photos, your storefront or showroom, and product and food photography, in our studio or on location.
A common mistake is booking a personal portrait session for business headshots. Personal sessions don't include commercial rights, so check before you put those photos in an ad.
Real Estate Photography
Listing photography starts at $175. Final pricing depends on the size of the home and add-ons like drone aerials, twilight photos, walkthrough video and virtual staging. Agents can send sellers our room-by-room prep checklist before the shoot. See real estate photography & video for details.
Wedding Photography & Video
Wedding coverage is custom-priced because every wedding is different. The biggest factors are hours of coverage, whether you want a second photographer, whether you add videography, drone footage, and travel. Booking photo and video with one team usually costs less to coordinate and gives you a consistent look. Request a wedding quote.
What Makes Photography Cost More (or Less)?
- Usage rights. Commercial use costs more than personal use.
- Time and number of photos. More looks and more edited images take more time.
- Location. On-location shoots involve travel and setup, while the studio is faster.
- Editing. Heavy retouching, composites and virtual staging add editing time.
- Turnaround. We deliver sessions in 72 hours as standard, so there's no rush fee.
Questions to Ask Any Photographer
- How many edited photos are included, and is there an extra fee for the digital files?
- How long until I get my photos?
- Can I see a full gallery from a real session, not just highlights?
- For business photos: are commercial usage rights included?
