Portrait Packages Overview

The packages you see on this page apply to ALL portrait sessions: Family Portraits, College / High School Seniors, Casual Couples, Maternity and Newborns / Babies. Life events like birthday parties, sweet 16s, bat mitzvahs, etc. are a little different – contact us for a custom hourly quote.

The vast majority of our clients want digital files they can use to make their own prints (usually 5x7 to 8x12 in size) – so we include a certain # of your favorites with every package. Want larger wall art or keepsake albums? We can help you there too – just ask! 

We're used to working with people who are a) not professional models, and b) may not feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. Our goal is to make it a fun, low-stress and easy process. Chris (owner of GoodEye) has three kids himself and a deep well of patience to draw upon. We often bring lighting equipment during the shoot to ensure that magazine/editorial look that we're known for; but even if it's a windy day and we use natural light only, we're confident you'll really like what we can do for you.

The following packages are all-inclusive, covering travel, photographic coverage and creative direction, professional editing/retouching, online galleries for sharing and electronic delivery of specific #s of hi-res files for safekeeping.

If you haven’t already, please take the time to review Our Process (from booking through delivery of digital files) and FAQ pages.
