Pricing

Portrait Photography

Our sitting fee is only $100 which is to offset the cost or our time and studio expenses.  A $50 deposit will secure your session appointment with the remainder due at the time the photographs are made. If you are unable to keep your appointment, the deposit can be applied to a subsequent sitting within three months, but cannot be refunded.

Prints from your session will receive minor retouching when necessary.  Minor retouching includes blemish removal, soft focus, softening of laugh lines and conversion to black and white or sepia.

Switching heads or faces among people in photos, replacing backgrounds and selective coloring is considered more than minor and will require an additional charge.

À la Carte available with portrait sitting

All photos are printed on high quality, archival photo paper.

DVD Slideshow of session $150 Additional copies $50

Canvas and Fine Art Paper Prints

Canvas prints are printed on highest quality canvas by master printers.  Canvas prints can be either mounted on a hard board or stretched and gallery wrapped.  As with the canvas, fine art paper prints are heirloom quality. 

Larger sizes are available.

We offer a variety of albums from your baby's photo session.  Check with us at the studio for options and pricing.

Photo Paintings

At BlueMoon Studios we employ the latest technology, combined with artistic skill to transform your portraits into one-of-a-kind paintings. Your photo can be painted stroke-by-stroke rendering a fine art look that very closely resembles a hand-painted oil portrait. Paintings are printed directly on canvas or fine art paper. Those on canvas are then hand painted over with a clear artist gel to protect them and to add a three dimensional surface. Canvas prints can either be mounted or stretched on artist frames.

How to get the most from your photos session.

• Clothing: We recommend solid , pastels or muted colors generally look best in photos. Avoid patterns, sleeveless and v-neck blouses or short sleeve dress shirts. Long or three quarter length sleeves always look best. Jewelry: Wearing jewelry is fine although wristwatches do not look well in photographs.
• Children: Children and infant photo sessions should be scheduled according to the child’s schedule. Shortly after nap time or feeding. We want your children to be as happy and relaxed as possible. You may bring any special props you would like in the photos such as favorite toy, flowers, balls, etc.
• Groups: Group photos work best when everyone wears similar colors. Either dark or light, but with no patterns and avoid colors that may cause someone to stand out from others in the photograph.
• Pets: If you are scheduling a photo session for your pet be sure to bring treats. Sometimes it may be good for you walk or play with your pet for a few minutes prior to the session. Please arrive a few minutes early to let your pet get familiar with its new surroundings. You may want to bring your pet’s favorite toy along to include in the photo.

Special Prints:

• We offer a variety of specially designed prints customized for you.  Please see our Specialty Print page for more information.  Pricing for these prints will vary depending on the size and complexity of the print you wish to create.  However, a rule-of-thumb we use is to add $25 to the price of any print size above.

Location shooting: 

• We are happy to travel to your location, but we may have an out-of-studio charge depending on how far we must travel.

Restoration:

• Restoration projects are done on a case-by-case basis. Prices begin at $65.00 which includes one 8X10 print. This will cover most simple projects to repair small tears and cracks. We charge nothing for examining your damaged photos and giving you an estimate on what it will cost to restore them to beautiful heirlooms.

Weddings:

• Because weddings are so special we have a separate form where you can see all we offer and our prices. Please check our wedding packages for full details.
