What Does a Photo Session Cost?

I bill your photo session at the rate of $75.00 per hour(to the nearest ¼ hour) and have a one hour ($75.00) minimum charge. Beyond that minimum, the session fee is based on the actual time I spend with you and your cat(s) during the photo session itself and the image review that follows. In general, if your cat(s) adapt well to strangers and if they are cooperative subjects, you can expect to complete the shoot and the review for one and perhaps two cats within the one hour minimum.
Your photo session includes first, the time I spend in photographing as many cats as you have. It begins when I take the first shot of your cat(s). When you feel I have captured all the poses you had in mind, or probably gotten all that your cat(s) are going to give us, you decide when this portion of your session is completed.

Then I review with you the digital images I have taken to enable you to select the shots you wish to have retouched and printed. If there is some particular shot that I missed, I can go back and shoot some more if you wish. When you have chosen the images you like, you can also decide whether you want additional prints, enlargements, or a CD-ROM or floppy disk of your digital image files.

When you have made these choices, I stop the clock and write you an invoice for the time expended to that point.

I do accept credit cards: Visa or MasterCard, check and cash is fine.

How Long Does it Take?

As mentioned above a typical photo session involving one or two reasonably cooperative cats on a single background color can be done within the minimum charge of one hour, including the post-shoot review. Those customers who have three or four cats to be photographed can expect their session to take 1 to 2 hours. Generally, a one hour session breaks down into about 30-40 minutes of shooting time, including perhaps a reshoot to pick up some additional poses, and 2- to 30 minutes of review.

What Do I Get?

My $75.00 basic charge for a photo session of one hour or less includes six customer retouched 4x6 prints of the images you have chosen. Typically, you will make your selection from two dozen or more shots that I have taken.

OPTIONAL OFFERINGS

Extra Prints: $12.00 each. Often when a customer’s cat is both cooperative and photogenic, I will get many more than six nice poses from a one hour session. In such cases, I offer additional prints(retouched 4x6s) for $12.00 each.

Duplicate Set of Prints: $2.00 per print. If, at the time of your photo session, you decide that you would like a second set of prints, I offer a duplicate set of six prints for $12.00.

Enlargements: Any of your images can be ordered in larger sizes as follows:

5x7: $12.00 8x10: $20.00 11x14: $35.00

CD-ROM: $60.00. When you feel the photo session has been so successful that you like a great number of the images, or when you have had several cats photographed at once and need several shots of each, it often makes sense to purchase a CD-ROM of your photo session. This will include digital image files of every shot I have taken. Only the images you have chosen for your prints will be retouched, but you will get high resolution(so you can have your own prints made) and low resolution(for website and e-mail use) versions of these retouched image files.

Floppy Disk: $25.00. A lower cost alternative to the CD-ROM is my Floppy Disk offering. In this case, the disk includes only the image files of those shots you have chosen to be retouched and printed and only low resolution versions of these images for website and e-mail use.
