services

To offer the most service for the least cost to you - all portrait, musician, event and wedding packages include:

  • Disc of high resolution, watermark-free photographs for printing
  • Online gallery on Fablephotography.com for at least one year so you can easily share your photos. (Your online gallery can be password protected)
  • Professional photo retouching - All photos are retouched as needed. Retouches are individually evaluated and performed digitally by hand (no batch process retouching software is used)
  • No per hour rates. I do not want my clients to feel rushed. A photo session should be enjoyable for everyone.
  • The freedom to use your photos on popular social networking sites such as MySpace or Facebook.

In some cases I may offer to do individual, couples, band/musician shoots for free in exchange for volunteering to help me when I need a photo subject for a personal project, camera equipment test, or simply to try new photographic techniques. (An additional plus if I offer this deal is that you may be able to get photos from the volunteer session as well.)

In addition, if you have a photo project that is particularly interesting or charity oriented, I may be willing to offer my services free of charge.

Feel free to contact me with questions.

portraits

My style is informal and casual so you will have a relaxed and enjoyable experience. There is no pressure about time, poses, changes of clothes or the number of photos taken. You just be yourself - without any worries. My goal is to create portraits which capture who you are.

Portrait prices vary depending on the estimated time, number of people and amount of post-production work. Most shoots range from a couple of hours to a half day and are done on location. Photo sessions outside of the Chattanooga area may require a minimal travel fee.

  • Individual and couples: $50-$100
  • Family: $100-$300
musicians and bands

Part of being heard is being seen!

I want to help you by providing press kit photos, doing group and individual shots for promo materials and web sites, and photographing performances at local venues. As artists, we can work together to fulfill your ideas and visions for the look you and your band want.

Since I appreciate the fact that many local musicians have limited funds but always need photos I try to offer low rates or "artist to artist" deals.

For album, press kit, or performance shoots I typically charge $50-$100 per session or show. I may also be able to offer to do band/musician shoots for free in exchange for volunteering to help me when I need a photo subject for a project.

weddings

On your wedding day you want as many memories captured as possible and I make sure you are provided with all the fleeting moments of your day I can. My style focuses on the photojournalistic recording of all the events surrounding your wedding day along with artistic portraiture of you and those special people in your life. To be sure I present you with the best service and photos possible I only book one wedding per day.

During our first meeting I will take the time learn what kind of photographs, styles and poses you desire - I want to capture your day the way you want it.

Wedding prices range from $500 for simple or intimate ceremonies to $1500 for a typical wedding and include:

  • Engagement or bridal session
  • Rehearsal coverage
  • All day wedding coverage including bride and groom prep, ceremony, formal portraits, and reception
  • Disc of high resolution, watermark-free photographs for printing
  • 400-800 photos are the typical number of final photographs provided of your special day
  • Online gallery on Fablephotography for at least one year (with or without password settings) so you can easily share your photos
  • Professional photo retouching - All photos are retouched as needed. Retouches are individually evaluated and performed by hand. (No batch process retouching software is used.)

Photo prints and albums: In an effort to provide wedding couples with only what they want and minimize their wedding costs, I provide high resolution digital negatives instead of prints or albums in the base wedding package. This gives you the freedom to print or share as many of their wedding photos as you wish, find less per print costs than I can offer, and the opportunity to choose, design and create a wedding album exactly how you desire. If you would like to add prints or albums, I am happy to work with you to include them.

events

Photographing special events can provide you with photos of moments you will value for a lifetime. Consider the memories the can be preserved for anniversaries, sports, religious, school plays and concerts, reunions, company events, or just a day at the park.

My photojournalistic style can present the story of the event through the pictures I capture.

Because of the wide range of events that can be covered, it is difficult to list accurate pricing. Feel free to contact me and I will be happy to discuss your event and how I can best help you to photograph it..

additional services

I also offer services for repairing faded or damaged photos and photographic manipulation.

If you have a treasured family photo that has suffered the ravages of time or has been damaged, I can help to digitally restore the photo to you. I can repair problems such as fading, stains, tears, burns or scarring.

In addition, I can alter existing images to make them what you desire. This service includes such issues as clearing up blemishes, skin enhancement and removing an object or person or even replacing an entire background. I can also do "fantasy" photos where major alterations are made to a photo for your enjoyment or amusement.
