Pricing and Turnaround Process
At Petite Photography, we believe in three important factors when it comes to your session; quality, affordability and quick turnaround. We work hard during your session to bring out the best in you through pose coaching, location selections, use of natural lighting and props when requested.
Pricing: Flat Rate
We do not nickel and dime you on individual photos. You play a flat rate and get a large gallery of digital images.
Turnaround:
Once your session is complete, we get to work on editing...often on the same day. This process usually takes up to 5 business days, but in most cases, we finish much sooner! There is no waiting for weeks on end to get your photos with us. Our guarantee is your gallery will be delivered in under a week.
We specialize in the following categories:
Children, Couples/Engagement, Outdoor Headshots, Seniors/Grads, Bridal, Princess/Fantasy/Fairytale, Landscapes/Nature
We do not shoot:
Indoor Studio Portraits/ Wedding
1 Hour Shoot-$250
This is our most popular option. You will get one full hour of shooting with no limit on outfit changes (the changes must be done within the hour). This yields a large gallery of photo options that will be provided to you for digital downloads. Gallery will contain 35 photos minimum (but are often many more depending on the subject's cooperation). Visit our client galleries page for examples of our typical galleries. We do not nickel and dime you on individual photos. You play a flat rate and get a large gallery of digital images.
1 Hour Shoot with a Princess/Character-$325
We are in the business of making fairytales come true! Add any one of our characters from Petite Princess for a truly magical experience! We offer more than 50 different characters which can be found here: https://www.petiteprincesscompany.com/our-princesses/ Give your child a moment captured in time they will never forget. The benefit of adding a princess is that the princess will be able to interact with the child and coach them to get the best images while also doing fun activities like reading a book, dancing, having a tea party, etc. minimum (but are often many more depending on the subject's cooperation).
Mini Session (15 minutes)-$150

We also love shoot at these locations but they do incur additional facility fees upon arrival:

Afton Villa Gardens in St. Francisville-$75 photo charge and $5 entrance fee (open only certain months)
Fountainblue State Park-$3 per person gate fee
Have a location in mind? Let us know! We love creative new places to take photos.
Any location outside of EBR or Livingston Parish will incur a travel fee based on mileage.
Time of Shoot
We do not operate from a studio, we are natural light photographers. That means we accept outdoor only bookings and we highly recommend that photos are taken in the GOLDEN HOURS only. This will create the BEST possible lighting for you and give you the ethereal and vibrant look we are known for. Golden hours are the hour after dawn and the hour before dusk. This changes throughout the year, so we can discuss the timing of your session at booking. We can take photos outside of the golden hour, especially on overcast days. We do not shoot midday/in full sun as this creates harsh lighting and lots of shadows.
