PRICING

PRICING & INFORMATION

Weddings:

It's no secret that weddings and couples are my favorite and have become my specialty. I totally get caught up in the excitement and emotion of the day.  Photography is such a magical thing. I love the thrill of looking through the viewfinder and releasing the shutter at the most perfect moment. And I especially love the reactions of my clients when they see their memories captured. Unique, natural, artistic, timeless and full of emotion.

Printed products are a must, so all of my packages contain items like large prints and a beautiful case to keep your wedding flash drive safe. We can work together to create a customized package to fit you and your wedding or you can choose from some of my most popular packages with most couples choosing to spend between $3950 to $5900. I accept a limited number of weddings per year to ensure the highest possible customer experience. Click on the contact button above to request a complete pricing guide or click here.

I'd love to meet you! Consultations give us a chance to talk about your love story and wedding in detail, so we can see if we're a fit. You'll be able to see the albums and products I offer in person. There is no obligation. To see if your date is still available and to schedule a consultation, feel free to give me a call or send me an email.

The Selfie Photo Booth is a great way to get some fun shots of your guests! If you are interested in knowing more about how this works, just click here.  Our photo booth is available for more than just weddings!  Birthday, Prom, Graduation...any event you can dream up...the Selfie Photo Booth is social media ready!  Photos, GIFS, and boomerangs will be delivered right to your phone. Props and backdrop are included!

 

Portrait:

Portrait Sessions are $475 and include a personalized case for your flash drive and full print rights. Newborn Sessions start at $575.  Prints and other products are also available. Click here to set up a consultation or for more information and a complete list of products and pricing.

 

Mentoring:

Want to get your camera out of auto mode?  Mentor sessions are for entry level photographers with a dslr.  Learn the basics of how to shoot in manual mode including setting/adjusting your exposure, getting spot on focus and taking images that you will absolutely love.  $150 for two hour session.

 


Gift Certificates or digital gift cards are available in any amount! 

For more information or to schedule a consultation please contact Michelle at 724.971.2146 or click here.

 

MY STORY

Hello! It's me...Michelle (aka Fotogrl on my license plate). I feel completely blessed to be able to earn a living doing something I love for over 15 years now. I'm married to a literal rockstar (he's a drummer...lol). We are parents to one amazing girl and quite a few adorable furry babies. Aside from my family, friends and the obvious (photography) - I love Summer - give me barefeet and heat all year long, The Beatles - (my home office holds all my Beatles collectibles!), chocolate and coffee (Caramel Lattes...yum!). Some other totally random facts about me - I love to dance, but I'm not very good at it. I'm learning to play the guitar (something I have always wanted to do)!  I shop (way too much). Cool pieces of jewelry are my favorite things to accessorize with (especially earrings and bracelets). And I very rarely pass on dessert. :)

Since I was a little girl, I've always had a camera in my hand (much thanks to my Grandfather for that). When I was ready to take that love of photography further, the New York Institute of Photography was where I received my professional training. I have a business degree from Youngstown State University (narrowly escaping a career as an accountant). I've been Certified as a Professional Photographer by Professional Photographers of America and continue my education through seminars and competitions. I have been privileged to teach photography and thrilled to have my photos published both locally and nationally (most recently on The Knot, Akron-Canton Weddings and in Pittsburgh Wedding Magazine).

I welcome no-obligation consultations, if you'd like to get together and talk about your style, your love story or to just get to know each other to see if we're a fit. Please give me a call or click here. I'd love to hear your ideas as well as share mine with you.

-Michelle
