Pricing
+ How to Book
​
Hi! I am so happy you're here!
Before making the decision to book, it's important to know if we're a good fit. I love my clients dearly and my business is a huge part of my life. Below you will find all sorts of helpful information and a link to my available session and booking website.
WHAT I REALLY, REALLY WANT YOU TO KNOW
My focus is delivering quality edited photos with true attention to detail. Family photos are an investment and I know there are 20 other photographers in a 10 mile radius that you could work with. My pricing reflects my years of experience and allows me to avoid artistic burnout. I want to give my clients the very best of me!
While my business and clients mean the world to me, showing up as a mother and wife comes first. I say this because life happens and I am only human. The season I am in brings so much joy but also a constant battle of finding a sustainable work/life balance. I refuse to rush through editing your gallery for the sake of a one week turn around. Every session is unique. Some kids have snot running down their nose in every photo, some kids fall into a coffee table the day before our session and have a black eye. Quality work takes time and gallery delivery times can vary throughout the year. If you are in need of an expedited turn around, please reach out to me so we can talk details.
Lastly
There is an additional travel fee of $0.65/mile applies for session locations requiring more than 15 miles of travel from Carterville.
PAYMENT
Unless otherwise discussed, payment is due at the time of your session and can be taken care of by cash, a check made out to Savanna Kathleen Photography or Savanna Burgrabe, Venmo or Paypal.
PRINTING
It’s important to know that I do not give print releases to Walmart or Walgreens. Sadly, their printing quality takes away from my hard work. I offer super easy and convenient printing services through my online gallery, and I have several online printing lab recommendations where you can print from on your own time. The good news is that online printing labs do not require a print release and their quality is 100X better!
PROPS, SESSION TIMING, LOCATIONS.. ALL THE FUN STUFF
I keep props, signs and decorations for sessions to a minimum, but I’m always open to ideas. My goal is to always keep the focus on you and your family. I have a collection of antique quilts and chairs to pick from for photos outdoors. For newborn sessions I have plenty of wraps, headbands, hats, blankets, buckets and baskets! Natural light is my jam, and 99% of the time the sun decides on session times and where we shoot. For sessions in your home, we will pick a time where the natural light is best in your home, which may be morning or early afternoon. If you're interested in an outdoor morning session, we usually start photos between 8am and 9am. Outdoor evening sessions typically begin around 2 hours before sunset.
