pricing and booking

my pricing is based on 3 main principles:

1. how many humans?

The amount of human subjects present during our session determines so many various factors within my work! For example, the type of imagery and possible combinations, how much I may need to intervene with posing, how many moving parts during the day, and planning what may be best suited for location, quantity, session length, equipment, etc.!

2. what’s your backdrop?

The location of our session is so important to the planning phases! Do we want a cozy, day-in-the-lifestyle vibe? Or a fantastical garden picnic? Frolicking dreamily on the beach? Or maybe something clean, chic, and classic like a studio session? Locations like gardens or studios require me to scout, make reservations, and pay permits/rentals.

3. what’s our goal?

In my business we determine gallery size prior to the session to set us up for success! Whether you want just a few photos for a postcard, a bunch for a photo wall, or 75 to make a book. Prioritizing transparency, and setting clear expectations before our session will help us both! In this way, You’ll know exactly what you’re paying for, no hidden costs, and only necessary shoot time.

keep in mind, I work in both analog film photography and digital photography. learn more about me and my process here.

    “Marie was incredible to work with. My husband is a very shy person on camera and for Marie to allow him to open up on film is incredible. She had excellent posing ideas that really made me feel beautiful as I grow life in me. Can't recommend her enough.”

  • Donovan B

    “I am so happy with the photos that Marie captured of my family. Candid, tender moments that could otherwise get lost in time were right there for us to see. What a talent Marie is. I would love to welcome her back into our home for future occasions.”

  • Alika M

    “I had an amazing experience working with Marie. She made the whole process so easy and relaxed. I’m very shy and she was able to break the ice. She really knows how to capture the moment and bring out the best in every shot. She went above and beyond when I requested a certain shot. Highly recommend her. I’ll definitely be back for future sessions!”
