session fee: $250 Your session fee includes: • A personalized pre-session consultation, covering everything from where we’ll have your session to how to get your kids (and your partner!) excited for it.

• A one- to two-hour session in your home or anywhere in the Triangle area.

• The culling and preparation of between thirty and forty images, including color correction and basic retouching.

• An in-home sales and design consultation.

session tip: When selecting outfits, look for clothing that

reflects the personalities of everyone in the group. It’s good to try to coordinate a general color scheme and to get everyone similarly dressy or casual, but not at all necessary to be too matchy-matchy or formal!

It’s impossible to capture the many and extraordinary changes that take place over the course of your baby’s first year in just one session... so why try? When you invest in a baby plan, you’re investing in a series of portraits that will allow you to document all the big milestones - from maternity portraits through your baby’s first birthday.

Both of the baby plans include a discounted overall session fee and special loyalty gifts. The Graduate Plan is designed for toddlers and young children over a year old, and is a great way for busy families to plan ahead for birthdays, Mother’s Day gifts, and holiday cards.

please note that to qualify for the benefits of the baby plan, a

$500 per session investment is required. this investment can be spread over the course of the plan and is customized based on your needs and preferences.

All photographic prints are hand-made in the studio using archival inks and papers designed to provide perfect color representation and state-of-the-art longevity. The difference between these prints and any you can have made by a commercial lab is immediately evident: they are true pieces of photographic art. Every print purchase includes a web-resolution, watermarked version of the corresponding image.

decorating tip: Though these galleries were designed to

look great on just about any wall as presented, remember that they can be broken up and rearranged to suit your decor and needs, so feel free to use your imagination. For instance, the images in Gallery B look equally great in horizontal orientation, or arranged in two smaller galleries, and the two small frames in Gallery A make great gifts for grandparents or decoration for the office!

A L B U M S heirloom art for your home

Custom albums are a cornerstone of the Megapixie portrait experience, and are a simple, timeless way to record the story of your session and your life... now, and for generations to come.

Albums are designed to artfully showcase all of your favorite images on archival photographic paper, bound in your choice of beautiful silks, linens, and leathers. The Iris and Whistler books are handmade by artisans in California, and differ only in page thickness (Iris’ pages are 4mm thick; Whistler’s are 2mm). The Jade is an outstanding machine-made alternative, offering excellent quality at an exceptional value.

gift idea: Companion albums are duplicates of the original

session album. Since the design and layout work are already done, companion albums are available in any model, size, and cover option at 25% off the original price. They make great gifts, and are a favorite among grandparents!

digital files

Most people would agree that the goal of a custom portrait session is to produce beautiful, tangible photographic art for your home... not to have a disk to stick in a drawer or a few new images for Facebook. That said, these days many clients want to own the images from their session in a way that allows them to make prints now and later, and back up their memories in case their prints are damanged or lost.

Digital files are delivered online for instant download* and include both the color and black & white edits of every purchased image. All high resolution digital files come with instructions for preserving and printing, as well as a signed print release, which is required by many print labs.

Complete set of high resolution files: 1250 Individual high resolution files: 150 *Images may be delivered via DVD on request.

“Every time I look at the photos you took of our family, I just love them more and more (which is a LOT since I loved them so much initially)!”

“Does it sound weird to say that I’d love to make a mural of out of one of my walls with just photos from the shoot so I can always look at them?”

“I love how you captured the joy we have as a family and particularly the moments that reflect Eli’s personality at this age.”

“It just gives me a warm and fuzzy feeling (and already some nostalgia?) when I look at our photos! It’s the same warm and fuzzy feeling that I sensed from looking at other photos I’d seen on your blog that made me want to go with you and your style!”

“Just in case you haven’t heard, the photographs are PERFECT! Thank you! You’ve won us over for a long long time.” www.megapixie.com 919.886.5388
