How it works:

The sessions are very casual with the goal in mind to capture beautiful portraits that will be treasured for years to come. Whether it is in your home, or a nearby park, shooting on location provides a comfortable, natural, pleasant setting for your family.

The session typically lasts one hour, giving enough time to capture the best images possible.  Julie will work with you to determine a time that best suits your schedule.   

In the next few days, Julie will go through and edit your photos, enhancing color and selecting some for black and white.   Your photos will then be put on a CD in high resolution for you to print however you like.   She can also email you a secure link to your private online gallery. From this gallery, you may download any and all of your pictures and share the link with friends and family.

Pricing

The session fee is $150 plus sales tax. It covers:

  • Traveling studio with all necessary photographic equipment for indoor or outdoor shots.

  • One hour of professional photography.

  • Photo editing (black and white, color enhancement, sepia, hand-tinting, etc.)

  • Online gallery for picture viewing and downloading.

  • Print Release Form allowing you to make unlimited prints!

  • CD containing all high resolution images for your own printing.

The Online Gallery

About 3-7 days after the photo session, you will receive a link by email to your private online gallery of images. Your gallery will be available for one month, during which time you may view and download your pictures.  Images will then be archived for one year and may be retrieved from our archives for a nominal retrieval fee. You may send the email link to relatives and friends for their viewing enjoyment and they may also make prints.

The Copyright

Please note that Julie Kruger Photography is different to other photographers.    You should be able to make as many prints as you want.  For legal reasons, the copyright is retained, but your pictures include a Print Release enabling you to have the freedom to print however you like and share with family and friends.  Furthermore, if you choose to send your pictures to relatives or friends, they may also make unlimited prints.

Tips and Hints

It is recommended to bring at least one simple outfit, such as a white shirt with jeans or khakis, but also feel free to bring along bold colors and rich textures.  Be certain to avoid anything overly distracting, such as large logos and busy patterns.

If children are being photographed together, clothes that are similar in style and tone will give a more coordinated look.

Bare skin is always a favorite with newborns and babies.   A simple diaper cover is perfect for portraits.  Clothing should compliment your child's look, not complicate it.  Any questions, just email Julie and she will be happy to give suggestions.
