The Experience

The Session

Portrait photography sessions begin at $225 and cover the time, talent, planning, and local travel required for your session. Images are purchased separately after viewing your gallery.

All portrait sessions begin with a consultation. During the consultation, we will talk through what you are hoping to capture, how you plan to use your images, location ideas, and what matters most to you. This conversation helps ensure the experience feels relaxed and intentional, and allows us to confirm that we are a good fit.

If we decide to move forward, the session fee is confirmed and paid after the consultation to reserve your session. Sessions involving additional planning or complexity may affect the session fee and are quoted individually.

Your Gallery

After your session, you’ll receive a curated gallery of approximately 25–40 fully edited images.

Each image is professionally finished in Laura Sharp Photography’s signature style and presented in a private online gallery for viewing and purchasing.

From there, you may select wall art, albums, digital collections, or individual images based on how you’d like to enjoy and display your portraits.

Images purchased as wall art or within albums include the corresponding digital file. Digital collections and full galleries are also available for those who prefer broader access to their images.

Images & Usage

After your session, you’ll receive a curated gallery of fully edited images to review and select from.

High-resolution digital files may be purchased individually or through digital collections, including a full gallery option. Digital files are ideal for social media, professional use, and personal sharing.

Wall art and albums are also available for those who wish to print and display their portraits. Images purchased as wall art or within albums include the corresponding digital file.

All purchased digital files include a non-exclusive personal-use license for printing and sharing. Commercial usage beyond personal or professional profile use requires written permission.
