I have been looking through the lens of a camera for more than 30 years now and it never ceases to amaze me when I look through the camera and see something that thrills me. I make this happen everytime I photograph a high school senior, a boy of five, a family of 23, and…

This is Fantastic!

Saturday, November 5, 2011

I was watching the Rachel Zoe project the other night, okay, I will admit to watching it. She was being photographed by a famous photographer who had her wearing vintage gowns for her pregnancy pictures! Loved it! Loved the fact that her husband was in some of the pictures, too. My opinion is that pregnancy…

Family Sitting Fees

Sitting Fee is $75 for Inside and $125 outside.
During the 45 minutes we are together, I will pose you and your family in at least five different poses.
If you have a family pet, I strongly encourage you to include your pet. After all, they are a part of the family, too.
The outdoor locations depend on the time of day and the type of location you would like to use.
There are numerous locations throughout the area that are ideal for family photographs. All of these locations are on public property with the exception of my farm, and arrangements need to be made ahead of time for that location.

Senior Portraits

If you haven't had the opportunity to take a look at the website, do so, and you will see why the high schools seniors of Northeast Kansas say that First City Photo is the fave.
Our Sitting fee is $125. for 75 minutes and you can have as many changes as you want in that amount of time.
Look at the senior website and you will see that the clothes are coordinated with the backgrounds. I'm a photojournalist by degree, with a very well-trained eye for what looks good! If it isn't real, I don't use it. I know if I feel hokey posing you with it, you are certainly going to look the part in the pictures.
After the shoot is over, I edit your photos for only the best. These proofs are put on your password protected site and are kept there for for six months for you and your friends and family to view.
Yeah there are a lot of photography studios out there charging more, but they are just trying to trick you into their game of the higher the price the better the look and that is not the case at all.
Smart seniors know that for the best bang for your buck...it's First City Photo.

Business Person Special

This is a special I offer business people as well as individuals who are requiring a digital image for their website, business, and even for the dating websites.
When it comes to your image, you should put your best one out there and for $29.99, you get exactly that.
I shoot until I feel I have that image, pick the best one, it is digitaly retouched, and the electronic image is sent directly to your computer for you to use as you see fit.

Weddings

Congratulations on your upcoming marriage.
As for my packages, I have none. I think photographers who have packages are contriving ways to make more money off of you.
I charge $250/hour for my services and if you decide to buy photos, they are the same price as everything else and those prices are posted in the contact section of the portrait site.
The average wedding and reception runs about five hours. If you want just the wedding and no reception, that is okay with me.
Something to keep in mind when booking a wedding photographer is the equipment they use to shoot the wedding. Recently I was approached by a couple who told me their wedding photographer did not even have a flash so there were no photos of their reception.
When I do a wedding, I have a back up for every piece of equipment I use. Also, something no on else in the area is using, I shoot with a Mamiya 645 medium format camera that has a 33 mega pixel and produces the most beautiful images.
If you are still interested, please give me a call.
