Individualized sessions include pre-session consultation

Sessions usually last 1-2 hours, more than double the time of most studios. I offer a consultation before each session, at no extra charge, where we meet either in the studio or in your home to discuss ideas, locations and clothing. The consultations are individual to each client’s needs and concerns. Together we will conceptualize and design your individual session to ensure that everyone is relaxed, inspired and ready for the shoot.

Fewer sessions booked means I take the time to get yours just right

Family sessions start at $150 and can take place in the studio, in your home or on location. At Sapphire Studio you always get a unique, customized shoot and always the same caliber of photographer because you always get me, Elaine Lowry. My pricing reflects the quality of my work and the importance of building a relationship with my clients. I will never rush you in and out of the door because I don’t book clients back to back. I limit the number of my shoots per week so I can give you the attention that I want to provide and that most people seek. I take the time to get to know you and to discuss color, clothing, and furniture arrangement, all of which help to showcase your unique style. Planning always pays off in the final portraits. When everyone is ready, excited, comfortable and relaxed, the final photos reflect it.

Attention to detail, from photo session through final selection

My family session prices include custom, hand editing followed by a personal slide show in my studio. Additionally, once your first order is placed, an online gallery will be posted for one month to help you and family members make further choices. Prints, wall portraits and coffee table books are not included in the session fee.
