What's in that fee?

I am asked many times what is included in JDP's fee..
I will explain my charges in comparison to other  photographers.

First , I work from my home. Therefore excluding overhead studio fees. I travel to locations of your choice within the CSRA . Outside of the CSRA , a travel charge will be added.

I do not charge a "sitting fee" . A sitting fee is a charge that compensates the photographer for the time spent taking your photographs. Normally , the images will be watermarked as the photographer is later compensated for his work through the photographs that you purchase.

Jennifer Druelle  Photographics has a one time fee of $185 that includes:
-A preshoot consultation, to ensure you get the look that you desire , and advice on clothing , props and location.
- Photographers travel to the location
- up to 2 hour photo session ( lesser charges for mini sessions)
-upload and edit time. This needs to be considered when considering fee charges .Editing a batch of photographs from one session can take up to 4-6 hours. As I go through each image one by one to ensure it comes to you with the best quality and finish.
- Custom label and CD.
I feel at this point in my business that I want my clients to have their photos and for my work to get out there. I do not (at this time) watermark my photos. You get the rights to upload online or print as you wish. I do however send off to professional labs and offer that service to my clients.
A custom photo label is made for your CD and mailed to you .
All of this included in an all inclusive fee. The amount of photos will vary from 35-60. I try to offer up to 60 solid , quality photos with variation instead of 400 not so good repeats.

Weddings:
Weddings packages include
-Engagement session
-Bridal session
-wedding and reception coverage with 2 photographers
-16x20 bridal portrait
- all sessions on CD
Wedding charges vary upon venue, and needs of the client. Some clients only need wedding and reception, others the whole package. Contact me for more specific rate quotes

Hair & Makeup
JDP also offers hair and makeup services for your shoot if desired for an additional fee of $40

I hope this answers many of your questions and I look forward to working with many new clients as well as previous clients!
