Children : As a father myself, I know the importance of capturing images of your child at various stages of their growing up. I strive to capture a natural look rather than a posed look. I watch for that natural smile, that gleam in the eye, that hint of laughter. I consider myself a person who gets along great with kids and (as a father of a young child) know how to communicate with them.

We can meet at your home, a park or other location. I can bring backdrops and props if necessary. I've got some really cute giant crayons, some furry rugs, pillows and other items to enhance the scene. You may also bring your own props such as a child's favorite toy or doll. See my price list below for family portraits to decide what best meets your budget. I offer a lower base price with higher print price, or higher base price with lower print price and downloadable images. Either way, images are delivered to you in a free online gallery that never expires. Depending on your payment choice, the images can be downloadable to be printed wherever you want.

Transportation fee: This is subject to change, but generally there is no charge for events up to 50 miles from Tulsa, Oklahoma. Events 50-115 miles (one-way) from Tulsa will have a $100 transportation fee for a single destination and then $20 per location. Events beyond 115 miles of Tulsa will include the $100 transportation fee plus an additional 58.5 cents per mile over 115 miles (based on maps.google.com from 74137 zip code). Events over 150 miles will also include a $200 lodging fee (or a hotel reservation) if the event goes beyond 7 p.m. If you want to hire me for events further away, please send a round-trip plane ticket in addition to the lodging fee. Destination weddings may include additional expenses per individual agreements.

Deposit: I need a $150 deposit/retainer fee to hold your reservation. This is applied to your total bill. I accept checks to my PO Box, or online payments through PayPal (including credit cards). I must receive payment for your deposit within five mail delivery days of you hiring me unless we arrange otherwise. I must turn away other inquiries because the date is "taken." After the five-day period has passed with no payment received, I will still keep you on my calendar but I will respond to other inquiries, stating the date is available. It is then a first-paid basis on who gets the date for their event. Balance is due at or before the event. Receipts in electronic PDF format will be emailed for all payments received.

Contracts: I'll ask you to sign an agreement for photography services before we do anything. This gives me permission to photograph you and your child and releases me from photo liability. The contract describes services to be rendered and price. I do not post images of poor taste and will gladly remove specific images from my website upon request of the client. Contracts are only valid upon receipt of deposit. I'll send you a copy of the signed contract with your receipt.
