One of the most common questions I receive is: “How much does a portrait session cost in Galena?” I believe you should have all the answers before you book your session.
At Amy May Photography, portrait sessions start at $1990, with a $850 deposit to begin your portrait journey and reserve your session. Each collection include a session planning guide, location and time planning, professional photography, and a curated selection of digital images.
My goal with our pricing structure is simple; more transparency, more choices, and a clearer understanding of your investment from the very beginning.
How Much Does a Portrait Photography Session Cost in Galena?
Portrait Collections with Amy May Photography begin at $1990. We offer four collections designed for different needs; from a shorter portrait session with 18 images to an extended experience with multiple locations, outfit changes, 55 images, printed photographs, and a substantial credit for printed artwork.
What Is The Deposit To Book a Portrait Session?
A $850 deposit begins your portrait journey and reserves your date in Amy’s calendar. The balance is due once you finalize your order.
I want you to understand your investment before reserving your date, rather than wonder how much your images have already been created. This transparency is an important part of your experience with Amy May Photography.
What Can I Use My Print Credit For?
Your included print credit gives you the flexibility to decide what matters most to you. You may use your credit toward beautiful finished artwork for you home, gift prints for your family, or an album to preserve the experience.
You may use your credit toward additional images, beyond those included in your collection.
After your session, you’ll receive a gallery of images created, to determine which images mean the most to you. Your collection establishes how many images and print credit. If you discover more images that you love, you may upgrade your collection or add additional images.
I believe our new pricing offers the best of both worlds; a clear investment before you booth without requiring you to make the final decision before you’ve seen your portraits.
What Types of Sessions Does This Pricing Apply To?
These portrait collections are designed for most portrait sessions at Amy May Photography, including:
- Family Portraits
- High School Senior Portraits
- Engagements and Couples Portraits
- Branding and Creative Portraits
Every session is personalized around the people I’m photographing. Your experience, locations, outfits, and final artwork will be unique to your story.
Why Invest in Professional Portraits?
I believe photographs become more valuable over time.
A portrait that feels beautiful today will become a treasured memory for your family decades from now. A senior portrait captures the person your child is becoming. A family portrait freezes a season of life that may never come around again the same way.
That’s why my art has never been about simply handing you over a gallery of images. I want to create portraits that deserve to live beyond your phone or computer. Read our BLOG post about Digital Failures.
Whether that means a beautiful portrait hanging on your wall to see every morning, prints you give to grandparents, or a collection of images in an album that preserves this chapter of your family’s story, we’ll create something meaningful to you.
Know Your Investment Before You Book
Our pricing offers you knowing your investment before you schedule your session. You don’t have to know exactly what you want before your session; you’ll have the opportunity to add additional images after your session.
You may schedule your session imagining a large portrait for your home and discover your rather have more of your favorite images in a series. The choice is yours.
What is Included in our Portrait Collections?
Every collection is designed to give you more than simply time in front of my camera. Your experience includes planning and guidance before your session, time with our Certified Professional Photographer, posing direction during your session (posed or casual), and a predetermined number of digital images based on the collection you select.
Most collections also include a print credit that gives you the freedom to add professionally finished artwork or additional images. The higher collections provide more time with our photographer, additional images, more outfit and location flexibility, printed photographs, and a larger print credit. Our Legacy and Premier Collections offer additional savings on metal and canvas wall art.
Do I Have to Decide Which Collection I Want Before My Session?
No, you can begin with the Keepsake Collection at $1990 and decide later how many images you’d like after your session. You simply pay the deposit to secure your session date in our calendar.
Choosing a photographer in Galena is personal. The experience, style of photography, value, and the investment all need to feel right to you. Our new pricing is designed to make the decision easier.
