The Ages In Between

Friday, May 21, 2010 11:32 am

ShareAndrea will be thirteen in two weeks.  It’s a very intricate age for a young girl.

So serious at times.

• How Much Does A Calotype Experience Cost?

  To book a Portrait Session, you first pay a Session Creation fee, which is $100 for children, $150 for small families, and $99-$399 for high-school seniors. This includes:

  • Helpful styling tips before the Portrait Session

  • Julie's creative, amazing portrait time with you during the Portrait Session

  • Posing tips and direction during the Session to help you look natural and attractive

  • As much time as necessary to create incredible portraits during the Portrait Session. We work until we know we've "got it!"

  • A private Ordering Meeting for you to view your pictures for the first time on an amazingly clear 109" inch screen. Calotype is one of the only studios in the four-state area offering this level of service and you will LOVE the experience of placing a portrait order this way!

  • And of course, our solid Calotype guarantee that you'll be thrilled with your portraits, or we'll refund your money, no hassle!

  There are no prints or digital images included in the Session Creation fee; they are purchased separately at the Ordering Meeting.

  We'd be happy to discuss fees for creating our custom Wall Portraits, Signature Canvas and quality Preview Albums with you! Please call the studio at 417.845.1151 and let us ask you a few questions so we have a good idea of what you're looking for.
