PORTRAIT SESSIONS
There are many variables which go into a Portrait Session: time, number of wardrobe changes, number of background/setting setups, number of images desired, studio versus location, etc. Contact me with any ideas you have in mind, and I'll give you a quote. You may be surprised about the length of time it will take to accomplish, and consequently, how little it will cost you.
AGE LIMITATION
Due to a pattern in which younger, potential customers contact me, set up an appointment, and then as the appointment nears, fail to answer information and confirmation requests via emails or phone calls, raising serious doubts as to whether they intend to show up, I have put in place the following restrictions when the customer is under 21 years of age:
- The customer must have an adult representative with whom I may discuss terms and specifications of the photo session.
- An adult must accompany the customer to the photo session.
- At the time an appointment is made, a deposit of 50% of the total purchase price for the session must be delivered to Capture Your Best Studio within 5 days. If the appointment is to take place in less than 5 days from when the appointment is made, a deposit (as described above) must be delivered within 24 hours. The customer, or their adult representative, has the option of making the deposit via Paypal.
- If the customer wishes to cancel the appointment, it must be done by phone at least 24 hours before the scheduled appointment time. If the customer cancels the appointment in less than 24 hours of the scheduled appointment, the deposit will not be refunded.
Quite often, a great deal of work is put into the planning of a photo session, as well as the physical preparation required in setting up lights, props, backdrops and so on. Just as I would do everything possible to avoid wasting the time of my customers, the above measures are designed to discourage wasting the time of the photographer.

"A LA CARTE" OPTIONS/PRICES Top of Page
Additional Files of Any of the Images Taken During Our Session
(for Additional Files from any other sources, such as Negatives or Prints you provide, see REPRODUCTION section below)
IMPORTANT: Please note Limited Reproduction Rights explained on TERMS & CONDITIONS page.
Before the shooting begins, we may agree on a set number of images to be included in the price of a Portrait session. There may be times, however, when you decide you want additional images you hadn't planned on, such as during the session or after the proofs. Here is the price for those files.
- PRICE for Additional Images Taken During Our Session: $39 . . . (order 5 or more: $25 each)
- FILE SIZE: The file will have a resolution of 96ppi or 300ppi, depending on your stated intentions of use (i.e. online vs. prints). This, along with the type of file you'd prefer to have (e.g. .jpeg, .tiff, etc.) and print size (if there is one), means the total size of your file could range anywhere from 300 kilobytes to 20 megabytes.
Additional Prints/Enlargements
Regardless of how you choose to display your final images, their quality is only as good as the weakest link in the photographic chain. If you're use to drug or department store prints, prepare yourself for an awesome visual jolt. For more personal images requiring privacy, prints are made in-house with high-end, state-of-the-art printing equipment.
- Prices apply to all circumstances, whether images are from our session or elsewhere.
- Depending on the condition of the source material you provide me, producing a high-quality print is not always so straight-forward. If I'm given a negative or print with a very grainy resolution, for example, or if the digital file provided combines high grain with low resolution, either our print options will be limited or additional restoration work may be required. In any case, there will be no charge to you if a satisfactory print cannot be created from the file, negative or print you provide.
- Prices apply to both color and b&w prints:
| 1-4 Prints | 5 or More Prints | |
|---|---|---|
| Wallet-Size: | $0.60 | $0.48 |
| 4 x 6: | $1.50 | $1.20 |
| 5 x 7: | $4.80 | $3.84 |
| 8 x 10: | $10.20 | $8.16 |
| 8.5 x 11: | $12.00 | $9.60 |
| 11 x 14: | $15.00 | $12.00 |
| 11 x 17: | $16.80 | $13.44 |
| 12 x 18: | $21.00 | $16.80 |
| 16 x 20: | $25.50 | $20.40 |
| 20 x 24: | $30.75 | $24.60 |
RETOUCHING, RESTORATION & REPRODUCTION Top of Page
RETOUCHING PRICING - FLAT RATES (see Retouching Samples and Prices)
This service will fall into one of two categories; either I will be 1) retouching the images of current or past customers, meaning images I photographed and you paid for, or 2) working on images created by someone other than myself, which you have brought to me in the form of files or prints. In the first category, the images will either be the result of an Hourly Rate session or a Package session. The three levels of Retouching Treatment, and their prices, apply to the categories as illustrated in the table below.
NOTE: Prices will not be combined - YOU WILL ONLY PAY ONE PRICE FOR YOUR IMAGE ($10, $20, $35 or $40)
CONTACT ME FOR A QUOTE
Rest assured, I will always make sure you have a good approximation of how long your desired modifications will take me to complete before beginning work on them. For Retouching work which falls under the category of Extras, please keep in mind that such work tends to labor-intensive, and may take longer to complete.
- CYB Photography Customer RATE: $10/image (Premium) and $20/image (Extras)
- Please Note: you will most likely find that the Basic Retouching I do at no extra charge, as a matter of course with the Photography you purchase, is good enough for your purposes. These rates apply to work done beyond that complimentary amount, should you choose to request it. Please see table below for summary of Retouching charges.
- Standard RATE: $20/image (Basic), $35/image (Premium).and $40/image (Extras)
- Applies to any images you convey to me, in the form of files or prints, other than ones I have created.
| Basic Retouching | Premium Retouching (includes Basic) | Extras | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Images from HOURLY RATE session | all images - no charge | 3 for every hr. of photography - no charge, all others - $10/image | all images - $20/image |
| Images from PACKAGE session | all images - no charge | every image you purchase as part of the pkg - no charge, all others - $10/image | all images - $20/image |
| Images taken by someone else | all images - $20/image | all images - $35/image | all images - $40/image |
| Quantity DISCOUNT | Any Retouching order including 10 or more images receives a 20% Discount. | ||

CALL FOR A QUOTE
Please keep in mind that I will always make sure you have a good approximation of how long your repairs will take me to complete before beginning work on them.
- Restoration Rate: $24.99/image to $249.00/image, depending on complexity.
REPRODUCTION
Have any negatives or prints you'd like to preserve using digital means? I can provide you with a digital file on CD - which you could then use for making prints or whatever purposes you like - that you can safely store in a secure place, knowing that you will always have a master to work from.
REPRODUCTION PRICING
From Negs or Prints:
- PRICE for Reproduction service & Digital File on CD: $15 / file
CHOOSING YOUR IMAGE(S)
If you are purchasing fewer than 8 images, I will email you proofs of what I consider the best photos to choose from. For instance, if you are purchasing 6 images, you will receive proofs of at least 12, but probably more, from which to choose. The images will be "watermarked" with my logo (to be removed from the final purchased images). They will also be presented in an organized, "gallery" display using a PDF format. If you are choosing 8 or more images, you will receive a proof sheet of what I consider our best photos. Again, you will be choosing from at least twice as many images as the number you are purchasing.
ORDERING - In a NutshellTop of Page
(NOTE: Please see Terms & Conditions page for the official "ground rules")
PHOTOGRAPHY
- Payment
The balance of your total price for Photography services may be made anytime before our portrait session actually begins, be it when we meet for our session or before. However, the balance is due in full when our Photography session ends. Likewise, for Hourly Rate Photography services, the balance of your total payment is due at the time our Photography session ends. In the event you are not prepared to pay the balance, all images taken during the session will be withheld, and any remaining item and/or service originally agreed upon will be withheld or suspended until the balance is received. Obviously, under such circumstances, for both Package and Hourly Rate Photography services, any deposit which had been made will not be refunded.
OTHER SERVICES
- Payment
For Restoration, Retouching and Reproduction (or any other non-Photography related services), if a deposit was made, the balance of the total price is due when you receive the product of my services. If no deposit was made, your total payment is due when you receive the product of my services.
In the event you don't see a service you may be interested in, please contact us, and every effort will be made to accommodate your request.
