Portrait Investment
How many things in life make you feel good and smile every time you see them? Professional imagery can be one of those rare investments that literally lasts a lifetime, growing more and more important, with each passing year.
Most people come to us when they’ve been searching for a type of imagery, that may be hard to describe, but they know it when they see it and really want it for their homes, usually rather quickly and with every detail taken care of, including the installation. All of our work is museum archival quality that will last for decades.
Our Session Fee is $250. Digital Packages start at $500

Here’s how it works.
1. Design Consultation
We like to begin every session with an initial, in-person consultation, your place or ours, or somewhere in-between. We love to meet over a cup of tea or coffee and learn more about you and your family, your goals for the portrait session and ideas to help you decorate your walls with fun memories. We encourage you to use this time for questions, suggestions and to get ideas. You’ll get a chance to see what other families have done and what you can expect for your photo session.
2. Choosing a location
This can often be the most difficult part of the entire process. Beach? Dessert? Park? Urban? The good news for us is that we live in just such an amazing place, all of these choices are available right here.

3. Picking the Date
Once you’ve decided on a time frame for the photo shoot, we’ll go ahead and knock out all the details. Different locations sometimes photograph better at different times of the day.
4. How to Get Ready?
If you can, let the kids play hard for a while before the session, it really does help.
5. Taking Pictures
On the big day, we’ll meet at your location, ready to roll. Sessions last anywhere from 45 minutes to a little over an hour. There’s really no rush – or time limit – just whatever feels right. It can sometimes take about 20 minutes for the kids and/or husbands to “warm up” and feel comfortable and relaxed in front of the camera. This is common and it won’t take long til we’re really having fun.
6. Show Me The Photos!
Now for the fun part. Your Images are ready for viewing within 3 to 4 days, our place or yours, we’ll go over all the photos together and help you make your selections. It couldn’t be easier. We do a fast turn around and most of our products are delivered in 1 to 3 weeks.
I will make your session,
stress free and fun
Book your session
I’ve had the immense pleasure to have Andrea capture my kids at age 7 & 10 last summer during a 45 minutes photo session. I have to say, I was a skeptical at first to pay a photographer for pictures?? Boy, was I wrong!! The pictures didn’t turn out just amazing but gorgeous. She truly capture their essence of joie de vivre! I had all my holiday cards done. Even photo book done for the grandparents. And I can’t tell you how many compliments I get from the wall set she designed for me. This year, I decided to have her do it again but not just my kids but the entire family. Not only is she an amazing photographer but she really has an eye for it. It’s not just talent but a gift she has. I highly recommend her. Without a doubt you will not be disappointed.

"The pictures didn’t turn out just amazing but gorgeous."
What can I say?! All of Andrea’s amazing photos should speak for themselves. But if you still have any hesitation in choosing a photographer, please let me brag about Andrea and Artisan Photography some more. Andrea is extremely professional and has a ton of experience. She chose the perfect location for the photo shoot and even knew what time of day (for the best lighting). She captured so many wonderful photos it was hard to narrow it down. Andrea provided terrific advice and I am so pleased with the final product. She came and mounted the arrangement for me and I couldn’t be happier or more satisfied with her work. Thank you so much Andrea.
