Frequently Asked Questions
What To Wear
I recommend comfortable clothing in neutral colors like beige, gray, and cream. I also like olive green, peach and light blue and the other pastels. I recommend especially staying away from bright white, bright yellow, and the jewel colors in red, orange, green and blue. These colors can draw the attention to themselves and away from your faces. Don't all wear the same thing or the same color, but keep your choices down to 2 colors that will blend well. Soft beiges, creams, and grays are beautiful together. Sometimes patterns are cute on kids. If your child is dressed in a patterned item, then pair it with something simple and keep your own items simple. Jeans are fine. Having clothing in the same tonal range will keep the attention on your faces rather than on clothing. And, of course, you can wear whatever you want. :-) Often crazy combinations and bright colors will end up working just fine.

Pricing

My clients come to me for the quality of my work. Rates reflect my level of expertise and service, and I guarantee you will love the images I create for you or I will reshoot the session. Please be aware that there is a huge difference between raw images and edited images.

Sessions start at $600. There is a non refundable $200 scheduling fee that is due at the time of booking. The remaining $400 is due on the day of the session either via Zelle or by check at the location. Included in the price is a 1 to 1 1/2 hour shoot an hour and a half before sundown. (Newborn photo sessions take place in my studio in Lomita.) About 2 weeks after the shoot you will have access to a gallery of 80 or more raw images from your session so that you can choose the photos you would like edited. Included are 10 hand edited digital photos. Each chosen/edited photo will be delivered in several commonly requested sizes and I will resize any photo at no charge. You will have the very valuable print rights so that you can print any of your digital photos anytime you wish, as many as you wish, wherever you wish to print them. If you desire additional photos over the 10 included, I charge $55 each for each edit. I do not take credit cards.

Heirloom quality prints, albums, and wall art are available, but only by request. You will receive a pricing guide tailored to your request.

Call Edie at 949.241.0041 to schedule your photo session. Please leave a message. Your call will be returned within 24 hours. Or email me at edielayland@mac.com.
