Here you go. All the details you need to book your summer or fall 2016 session. Scroll down for all the details.
My basic schedule: I shoot newborns no more than 2 weekday mornings a week at the studio. Outdoor sessions are scheduled on select evenings and in-studio sessions select mornings. 11 months of the year book 1 Saturday a month and do not shoot on Sundays. Sundays are reserved as my rain out days. I am not open on holidays.
Photographer’s note: Our busy season is October-ish with the changing colors, so if you are specifically wanting that month emailing me me ASAP is strongly encouraged. As many of you found out in the past that contacting me a month or two from now will mean I am solidly booked, so please don’t wait to schedule your session!

Outdoor full session – session fee $175
Hour long session with 30 proofs. Any prints, files, etc are purchased separately and not included in the session fee. Full sessions will also allow you to have a selection of locations to choose from and a more personalized session, unlike minis. You will also meet with me at the studio 1-2 weeks after your session to view your proofs and to determine which signature products and files are best for you and your family and place your order. No sitting in front of the computer debating what to do for weeks on end – 60 minutes max and you’re done! Most families finish in 30 minutes.
Print + digital packages start at $500 and include all of your files.
Full outdoor sessions are held on select evenings 60-90 minutes before sunset. Please note I only shoot 1 Saturday a month and those are the first to book. However weeknight sessions are easily possible with the late summer sunsets. I highly recommend for you to book a weekday evening for the best chance of having the session you want in the month you want.
To book, email which month you prefer and any dates that are 100% off limits due to things like vacations. Again, please note there is a single Saturday session available each month, so I encourage you to check your calendar and schedule a weeknight session. stacy@golden-photography.net

Newborn session – session fee $175
For details on what is included with a mini maternity session or full newborn session, check the blurbs above or email me for the info. Newborn sessions can last up to 3 hours and include family/mommy/daddy/and sibling images.
It is best to book your session before baby arrives, preferably during your 2nd trimester. Newborn sessions are completed when baby is less than 2 weeks old.
Year-long plans are available for those interested as well as newborn-only mini sessions. Please ask me about booking one of these sessions if you’re interested. stacy@golden-photography.net
____________________________________________
All dates and offerings are first come, first served. Emails and sessions will be answered and booked in the order they are received. An online signed contract and $175 retainer is required to book your session. It is best to check your calendar and email me as soon as possible to book your ideal date. Either myself or my assistant will get back to you 24-48 hours after you email me to schedule your session.
Thanks so much for understanding my scheduling policy. I deeply appreciate everything you all do for me – from filling my calendar to telling your friends about your experiences with me to spread the word of what I do. You all help make my dreams come true and help me to provide for my family. Nothing I can say or do can ever express how thankful I am for each of you.
For any questions or clarification, please don’t hesitate to email me and ask! I am happy to answer any questions you may have before you officially book your session. stacy@golden-photography.net
