THE SESSIONS
Our sessions provide something for everyone. Want multiple locations plus studio time? Awesome—then the Beyond Studio session is perfect for you. Want amazing senior portraits but don't care about going outside? Then the Studio Session or even Studio Plus sessions (a lot of our seniors who don't love the idea of getting all sweaty opt to stay completely in studio for this session once they see how much variety we can offer indoors!) might be the best fit. We're happy to talk through your ideas to uncover the perfect session for you! Please note that your session fee covers the time and talent of the photographer. All prints and products are purchased separately.
Oh, and don't forget your complimentary consultation!
YOUR INVESTMENT
Of course, you want to know what you will be spending for your teen's senior portrait experience. And we want you to know what every product costs and what our clients spend "normally", but until you see the images of your child—the person that you've watched grow and change throughout the years, the not-so-little boy who captured your heart the moment he made you a mama or your kind and thoughtful girl, now on the brink of adulthood—until you see YOUR person and their inherent beauty and authenticity captured, well, it's hard to tell you what you'll spend because it will all depend upon how you want to showcase your images.
But, I can give you ranges. Our custom collections start around $750 and go up to over $4500. Some clients choose the a la carte route and spend around $1200, but most end up around $1800-2500. Some spend less, some spend more.
We offer several high end finishes that allow you to pick up your artwork, take it home and hang it easily. Our clients love that. We create custom designed books and albums that provide more images, bound together to tell your senior story. Also super popular.
We offer large wall artwork that makes friends and family gasp when they walk through your door.
But we also offer small pieces that are great for grandparents and tiny spaces—or to send off to school with your college bound teen.
With options in between.
You choose what's right for you. We're just here to educate you on your available options.
That's why, once your session has been completed, you will join us in studio for your ordering presentation. We'll work with you one-on-one to select the products that work best for you. For some, this is a process that takes a few hours. For others, more time is needed and a split ordering presentation is provided, allowing you a few extra days to dwell on your choices at home. Our goal isn't to rush you through the process, it's to get you exactly what you want while keeping the end results in mind—your stunning teen's images on display in your home!
Unlike a fancy meal that you'll eat just once or a shopping spree that brings temporary joy (looking at you Target), your artwork from The Crystal Image will be a daily reminder of the love you have for your teen—for years and years to come. You did it! The person you loved, sculpted, encouraged, cried with, yelled at, cried over, read to, laughed with and cheered on for 18 years is ready to spread their wings and fly. If that's not something to be celebrated, I don't know what is.
