As for orders, due to the custom nature of our portrait work, please understand that once you place an order I will not be able to sell it to someone else if you change your mind. Therefore it cannot be changed or altered under any circumstances.
What is the investment?
Session fees begin at $50 and range depending on the type of session you are interested in. We love to work with our clients and help them order what suits them best. As far as the cost of the artwork, what you spend depends on the type of portrait work we create for you. Sales averages range greatly, however, most clients tend to spend somewhere between $450 and $1500. Some spend less and many spend more... what you order and spend is, of course, completely up to you.
