The studio session takes place at our in-home studio. Full studio sessions typically last 60-90 minutes (newborns may take a bit longer). There will be time for different backgrounds, outfits, and groupings. The studio session is recommended for newborns, maternity, first birthdays, and families looking for a variety of portraits to choose from in a studio setting. Any full studio session can incorporate a mini-session theme at no extra charge. After viewing your proofs, you may purchase a high resolution cd of your ten favorite images for $250, all of your gallery images for $350, or purchase prints and products individually. Please contact Mitzi to schedule a date for your full studio session.

Around the Town Session - $150

The Around the Town Session includes up to 90 minutes of shooting at a location within 45 miles of Santa Clarita. (there will be a travel fee beyond that) Instead of a capturing a posed/pretty/matching portrait, this session is meant to record your family being themselves and having fun together. It can take place at your house, a theme park, a farm, downtown - you name it! The idea is to spend time getting to know your kids while looking for interesting backgrounds. If you don't have a specific location in mind, we can decide on one together. After viewing your proofs, you may purchase a high resolution cd of your ten favorite images for $250, all of your gallery images for $350, or purchase prints and products individually. Please contact Mitzi to schedule your Around the Town session.
