Why a sitting fee? {Heather Milano – Bucks County Photographer}

As of lately, there has been much discussion about why I charge a sitting fee. Its a question because so many studios in chain stores and studios often waive fees or don’t even have them at all.

The reason I charge a sitting fee is because unlike large chains, I come to YOU. I will meet you at your home or on location in a park or urban area. I bring my equipment. I bring a camera that I know how to use in its fullest ability and not just because I am clicking the shutter. I will get down in the dirt if it means getting the perfect angle. I have and will do extremely silly things in public just to get your child to engage and laugh at me. I don’t mind if your child needs a break to catch a breather or get a diaper change or to have a feeding. I’ll be as creative as the surroundings allow us to be. I want to be different. I will spend up to two hours with your family getting as many natural shots as I can.

After we complete our session I will come home and upload your images to my computer. I’ll go through each one finding the best shots and then start the editing process. The photos are individually edited in my Photoshop program bringing out the colors and contrast. I also edit any unwanted blemishes. In the end of the editing process there are roughly 25 proofs to choose from.

Once the proofs are completed and saved, they are uploaded to a password-protected gallery where they are available for you and your family and friends to view for three weeks.

I hope this gives a better outlook to the prospective clients who may have questioned just what goes on after we finish our session. I have great love and passion for photography and want to make everyone feel satisfied with their investments. Feel free to leave any comments or further questions and I would be very happy to answer them here or privately should you prefer!

Have a fabulous Labor Day Weekend!

How does it look?!

I was so overwhelmed with the kind words that the S family wrote to me regarding Miss B’s photo shoot. It melted my heart and just confirmed for me why I LOVE doing this. They were so kind as to even forward me how they have displayed their prints in their home and even more kind to allow me to share them with you! Thanks so much S family for letting me share your gallery

Bringing in the New and the Old

Its no secret that one of my favorite “must haves” is the coffee table album. I love them because not only do they look pretty on a table in your living room, but they are the perfect keepsake from your photo shoot. My good friend and fellow album lover has also used plate stands to display her children’s albums in her home. With a custom cover its not only artwork, but a collection of all of the photos from your session. This is an investment that I highly recommend and to date it is one of the most popular products my clients order.

As of June 2010, I am now offering full-resolution CDs of up to 25 proofs from your session. It has been a request by many and I am now happy to say the request has been granted! The CD comes inside a custom designed case with magnetic closure.
