                  __________________________________________________

     About our rates...  I know they will seem vague, but in the end, you will benefit.
       1. We charge a "Session (or shoot) Fee".  This is what we charge for shooting.
             It is due at the time of the Session.
       2. We also charge a Print Fee and/or a fee for Finished JPEGS.
       3. Proofs will be placed online within 4 to 18 hours of the shoot.
            You can order from that.
     We think you will agree this is the fairest way. You pay only for what you get.

     The "About $ 00" price.  The total you can expect to pay after you order the suggested items,
             INCLUDING the Session or Shooting Fee.  We can't be exactly sure what your total will be
               because your order may not be exactly what is shown.  There is no charge for me putting
               proofs online.  The proofs will have the studio name on them and they cannot be
               downloaded. You may share the online proof album with others, you choose whether they
               may also order prints.
           - Images that you do not wish to share can be put in a separate album.  You do not have to
                share proofs with anyone.
           - Those images for which you may want more privacy, we can give you a CD.
