Engagement

The Engagement Experience

If you choose to add on an engagement session I tend to like to have these scheduled 4-6 months before your wedding date (Please help by putting yourself a reminder to reach out to me 2 months prior than 4-6 months to get on my books at 4-6 months mark before your wedding date. We book up super fast and I would hate for you to miss this opportunity by not having a date on the books.). This allows for editing, delivery, and gives time for you to order save the dates if you choose to. 2 outfits are welcomed. Bringing Champagne and champagne glasses or Biodegradable confetti to celebrate is welcomed.

Once your contract and your non refundable $500 is paid you may reach out to begin planning for your engagement session. This gives us the opportunity to work with each other and get to know one another a little bit more so that on your wedding day you will feel 100% comfortable with me. Don't worry or get stressed about posing. I will walk you through every pose and prompt you to interact with each other to get those breath taking photos.

Subjects that wear glasses, let's talk for a moment. I feel like if you wear glasses on a regular basis then you may not feel or look like yourself without them. So therefore I do recommend still wearing them and not talking them off, but sadly I can't edit out glares, reflections, or can't change the appearance of the blue light, or the dark lens transition feature on the eye glasses. If you think that you may want some glasses photos edited I will need to know this at the session so that I can take some pictures of the said person, with and without glasses to help the person hired to edit the images at the cost of the clients expense. If you have an image that you absolutely love, I can possibly try to send the image off to get corrected at an estimated cost of $20 per image at the cost of the clients expense.

Prices are subject to change without notice. All photo session locations will be within 10 miles of Jennings, Louisiana. Most clients do not mind the travel as it gives them a different look of locations than where they may be from. If you choose to have your photos taken at a different location, the price will change according to the mileage and the travel time.

Each photo session will come with a guaranteed 30 edited images. Images will be delivered to you via email from an online downloadable gallery. I will email you your session and from the comfort of your own home, you can simply open the email, and download the link (choose high resolution) and have your images in front of you. All final images are chosen by your photographer and will include a print release.

If booking an engagement session please keep in mind that Saturdays are often wedding days or will stay open for wedding bookings so I do not schedule engagements on Saturdays (sometimes we have last minute wedding request) and if I don't have a wedding booked then I keep it open for time with my little family. 

Engagements are to be scheduled on either Weekdays either morning or the evening is when I like to schedule these sessions or also some Sunday's are available. Sunday's do book up super fast so I do recommend giving me a 3 month notice of when you would like to schedule.

NO spray tans pretty please. I will not be able to edit out the orange skin tones out of all of those images. They may say that their solution doesn't turn your skin orange, but I have seen over and over again different results.

If you wish to have a CD instead of an online downloadable gallery. Please let me know and we can add an additional $5 fee for a shipping and handling fee for the mailing of your CD.

If you wish to have an USB instead of an online downloadable gallery. Please let me know and we can add an additional $20 fee for the cost of the USB, and for a shipping and handling fee for the mailing of your USB.

If you are a Reed Through The Lens Bride meaning you have a signed contract with me and the non refundable retainer has been paid and you wish to have this session done as an add on, the cost to is $300. If you are not a Reed Through The Lens Photography bride meaning you are getting married out of country or another state and you just wish to have these taken by me, the cost is $400

Pricing is 375.00 if you are a bride of mine and are contracted with us for a wedding. Can I bring my fur baby to the session? Yes if it cooperates, if it doesn't cooperate that will be taking time away from your session time. There is a fee to add your fur baby at the low cost of $25


450.00 if you are not contracted with us for a wedding.


Do you want to purchase a video add on for this session? Videos can be added on for an additional $400. I will need to know this ahead of time to prep for your video session.

My pricing reflects the education, the hours of learning and doing, along with the amount of experience it has taken me to be able to create consistent images. Not to mention that the price also reflects what we are experiencing as a whole. If you have purchased anything recently whether it be groceries or gas then you have noticed increasing in prices for everything. It only makes sense that us small businesses take measures that reflect the economy to stay afloat also. When looking for your photographer, don't worry about spending less worry about getting great, solid images because these will be around forever.
I love that I get to preserve the details and the memories so that they may be treasured for years to come by my clients and your families.
