Good morning, friends!
This is the week that I go over everything Firefly (we are making some changes).
The first, most often asked, most cared about question.
HOW MUCH?
This answer can always be found on my website. However, I will share the images here as well.
Effective August 1st, the below pricing will take effect. From now until August 1st, you can have a session done at currect pricing. (Current is a Mini for $300 and a full for $500).
I am bringing back themed minis for Class of 2027 that will be discounted from the attached pricing, but I will announce those later this week.
However, with the pricing changes comes package changes. I am moving to ALL INCLUSIVE PACKAGES. I have tried to do the upsell thing and it's not just me. I want to spend your whole session time creating magic and then I want you to have all of that magic. I am not a clock watcher. I am not a "I can't wait until this is over" photographer. I am a chasing you down the driveway asking if I can do one more I just thought of photographer. I try to envision every finished image as if it's a canvas on your wall. I care how your session goes, I care that you are comfortable and I care that you love your images. When we invest in each other, we are doing the dang thing to the best of my ability to turn ordinary into magic.
The all inclusive package is something I have offered my returning clients for a while. I am sure they are like "hey, how are you going to give the new guys our perk"? Well, RETURNING CLIENTS from the last 3 years, look at your last invoice. That is the max you will ever pay for that type of session. That's right. This new pricing does not effect you. If you're a returning client, but have not had a session in the last 3 years, you are capped at today's pricing. No increase for you either.
TAX AND TRAVEL FEES
This will be enforced across the board for all clients. I have to pay sales tax to the state on every session because I deliver digital files. When you do not add the tax, I have to pay it out of the session fee. I will no longer be paying the sales tax for my clients. If you require a formal invoice, I have upgraded my payment system and will send you one.
Travel fees will also be enforced across the board for all clients. Gas is wild. I have private property to shoot on. If you prefer an alternate location, travel fees will be applied.
RETAINER AND OTHER FEES
Returning clients are exempt from the retainer, UNLESS you have canceled on me. Anyone that has a previous cancellation on their file and new clients - the non-refundable retainer is due at the time of booking.
This is a very important note I would like you guys to read regarding rescheduling.
I am the full time caregiver for my special needs child. Because of having to plan for alternate care, I am only able to schedule one session per day. That means if you reserve a Saturday in November, every single person that asks for that Saturday in November get turned away. It also means that my husband will not be working that Saturday in November so I can do your session.
When you cancel or reschedule, you have caused me to : turn away clients, lose current and potential income, caused my husband to lose income and altered the day for our entire family. (I am not talking about weather related reschedules.)
Now, that's just a part of business and my husband and I both work jobs that allow us the flexiblity to do this, but I want you guys to understand why I will be enforcing the reschedule fee from here on out. If you do not pay it, you cannot book a new session until both the fee and a new non refundable retainer are paid. This is firm whether you are a returning client or a new client.
NEW PAYMENT SYSTEM
I am now set up to accept all credit cards, Affirm and Klarna. I also offer payment plans as long as the session is paid in full by the shoot date. I am happy to work with you as needed.
BARTERING
I am open to bartering! PM me if you have something. We are definitely interested in any sort of land development work the most!
