Here’s a quick Q&A:
How much does this cost?
My session fee for Chicago destination shoots is $250 (vs my normal session fee of $125). The session fee covers my time only and does not include digitals or prints. Prints, digital files, and other products are sold separately. I’m known for the gorgeous keepsake albums I create for my senior clients!
How much should we expect to spend on my son/daughter’s senior picture order?
Jennifer Bates Photography clients spend anywhere from $150 to $2500 – it literally depends on what you want in your hands when it’s all said and done, and what you’ve budgeted for prints, grad cards, wallets, digital files, etc.
Do you sell digital files?
Yes! I realize many clients want to create their own graduation cards, and they want to have the freedom to print whatever they want, whenever they want, so I offer a session USB for $1200. I set you up with a reputable lab and provide instructions on how to order pro-quality prints & gallery wraps.
For the clients looking to just SHARE their images on social media, I offer a perfect custom phone app for just $99 (phone app images aren’t printable.) For a sample custom phone app, please click here. Following the prompts, this app can be installed on your phone (& can be deleted just like any other app), and is perfect for texting to friends & family!
How do we book you for a CHICAGO shoot?
Text, call or email me, and I’ll have you come in for a quick consultation so we can talk about clothing ideas, locations, etc. (we can also hold your consult over the phone, skype or facetime) During your consult, we set a photoshoot date and I provide the address where we will meet and begin the photoshoot. Done. A few days before your shoot, I’ll reach out to you, to answer any questions. On our photoshoot date, we meet at our predetermined address, then start shooting! It really is that simple.
Weekday or weekend?
My destination shoots can be held on a weekday or weekend. Weekends book up very quickly with family functions, however.
Do we drive together?
No; we meet at a pre-determined Chicago address, on the day of your shoot.
What happens next?
Within 3 weeks of your photoshoot, we’ll meet back at my home-based studio, so I can show off the best-of-the-best of your stunning images! (Special arrangements can be made if you live out-of-town) During your Ordering appt, I’ll show a slideshow of your images several times, and you’ll notice that your favorites really start popping out at you.
After you’ve viewed your slideshow a few times, we begin narrowing them down to just your favorites. I have a super easy, tried-and-true process for helping you select your favorite images that clients compliment me on all the time. Once you’ve selected all of your favorites, you’ll place your order. I have sample albums and prints and other gorgeous products out for you to touch & feel. During this appointment, you’ll also pay for your order. Then, depending on what you’ve ordered, prints will be ready within 3 weeks, album designs are ready within 3 weeks as well.
