Senior Portraits pricing 2020-2021

The Portrait Photography Business is constantly changing. Technology reinvents itself daily. Styles keep changing poses continue to change and keep up with the latest lighting techniques for these shooting options, and styles takes a photographer dedicated to creating the best experience possible for their clients and someone that is willing to invest into their art and creativity.  This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for your senior.Your senior does deserve his or her senior portrait experience to be in the hands of someone whose spent a life time to stay ahead of all of that?  Doesn't your child deserve better than “good enough”?

Countryside Photo Is For Everyone. We offer simple sessions with cost sensitive budgets and Complete ultimate senior portrait experience. We want clients who want their photos taken using unmatched skills and techniques.  It’s for seniors that want photos that pop because of all the attention paid to detail in posing, lighting and editing.  Our senior sessions are for people that want their senior’s personality captured at a milestone time in their life in a timeless portrait that can be hung on the wall until THEIR children can see it someday.  It’s for seniors that want photos to look like them.  Countryside Photo is for people that want the best.

When you look at pricing you are even more confused. “Free session fees”, “Images included”, “Natural Light Photographer”. There are some that have complete packages for $119. On the other end there are some that won’t share their prices until after you have paid the sitting fee.  Many studios give you a "price range of what people spend"  without sharing their complete prices or the prices of the prints, leaving you shocked at the total price you will feel forced to pay. You may even feel remorse for what you just purchased and it actually takes away from the beauty of the photos and fun of the experience for your senior.  

TRANSPARENT PRICING We understand that value is important. Our sessions are reasonably priced and are given to you in a no frills, plain brown wrapping format that allows for an amazing value with superior quality and professionalism.  All sessions include a photo for the yearbook.

The Traditional Session gets the basic done and provides you with total control of what you need, you purchase only what you want (no minimum) just a deposit for the proofbook you take home to review and return.

The Down town is similar to the traditional session only it has a minimum order that is the proofbook deposit. The Princess and Downtown sessions include other extras like multiple outfits and locations and professional make-up if needed. 

The Princess has a proofbook You can keep so you can decide on your own time what you want to order without any high pressure sales or gimmicks to get you to purchase more than you really want.  Then we can sit down and design your perfect print order as well.  You will be able to see each print sized and cropped exactly the way you want it.  

The prices below keep your budget in mind and let you add anything you want to make your senior’s package perfect.  There are three different sessions that allow you to be flexible.  There is no minimum print order in the Traditional session!  The print pricing is scaled so that as you purchase more prints, the price of each unit is reduced, rewarding you as you get everything you want to celebrate your young adult’s graduation.  We even provide packages with digital copies of the images you purchased.

We do have a cool Discount for twins;

If your twin seniors are photographed at the same time for a traditional session, save 20% off of both session fees. Twins can use one downtown session, that's a 50% savings.

We treat our clients the way we want to be treated.  All of my prices are listed on my website.  First you can choose from three different sessions, the “Because My Mom Is Making Me Get My Senior Portraits Taken Session” Traditional to the most extravagant all-inclusive Princess Session.  Then you will find the Collections.  These are the best value, especially if you want forever items like wall art and albums.  Then you will see Individually Priced Items, perfect if you know exactly what you want. 

The Princess Session $699 (purchasing a collection is required with this package, see Collections below for pricing) This is the Ultimate Senior Session. It is the go anywhere, do anything session. Within reason!
