Digital image purchasing

I have had a lot of questions regarding the purchase of digital images. I will be adding 2 separate options to the investment category on my site:

Digital selection: You may purchase any image(s) of your choice for $50 each with a minimum purchase of $200 (total purchase may include image(s))*
Complete Digital selection: You may purchase images from your gallery (up to 30 images of your choice) for $500 with a $100 print credit included.*
*percentages off do not apply to image portion of your total bill.

Since I did not previously offer this I am having a special through Dec. 31, 2009. If you would like to purchase images from your previous galleries from 2007-2009 (which your orders were already completed and prints received) you may purchase them at a discounted rate of $40 per image or up to 30 images from one session for $250 no minimum purchase required.

Digital discussion/Image rights

I have been having a lot of questions recently about purchasing images and image rights. I thought I would do a little explaining about why I currently don't sell them. (keep in mind I am not a writer :-))

A little bit of background about the process first and my time into photos :) please read the article here. Which does an excellent job breaking down what photographers such as myself do and the time I put into photos.

Why choose custom photography?

In other words. you are really getting a good deal. So why don't I just sell CDs of images? For a few reasons. One being I take great pride in what I do and my photos and have sought out the best places to develop my photos and take time to edit to bring out the best. So when you get the photos they are on professional paper creating a lasting treasure. I have seen photos that have been developed by a client that were from a professional and the cheap paper just doesn't do it justice they look just that cheap. That isn't something that I want associated with my name. I don't want someone to say "oh look at these great photos that julie did" and have them on cheap paper. I put my heart into my photos.

I have recently had a discussion about this with another pro photographer (who told me my prices were too cheap :) The conclusion I have come to about image pricing will come in a later post. I am still pondering it.

I am a mom, who is addicted to photos of her kids. I know what it is like to have to say no to getting all the photos that you want. I have had to do that, I still do that. That is why my prices are what they are even though someday I may have to change them, I would prefer not to right now. I know with much reflection the start of the new year will be bringing new things for my photography and this may include a pricing change. The reason being this. Each hour I spend takes me away from my babies and how much is time away from you kids worth?

I also hope to post a before and after photo sometime soon.

For now I keep loving what I do and passing it on to you :-)

A digital discussion.

More personal thoughts to follow but here is a great article on photography. One I hope everyone reads.

why does custom photography cost more?

sisterly love


I believe that each picture, if it is a good picture, tells a story. This one to me says "it's ok" and "I love you" and "I am happy to be your sister".
