Real Estate
Shoots for real estate listings are charged at a cost of of 0.05% of the listing price at the time of booking the shoot with a minimum of $100 and a maximum of $500 so a house being listed at $200,000 would incur a cost of $100 but so would a house listed at $100,000. Conversely a house whose asking price was $1,000,000 would cost $500 to shoot but so would one going for $10,000,000.
Houses more than 20 miles from downtown Bellingham incur a $20 travel charge. Properties more than 50 miles, please ask for a custom travel cost quote.
Shoots usually run at about one hour but if the square footage or number of amenities seem to suggest to you that it might require a longer shoot do please ask.
You will receive up to fifteen optimized images included in the cost, all delivered digitally via n online gallery and ready for download in a variety of sizes for web use or for printing up to 5*7”. Turnaround is usually within two days but I will let you know if that won’t be possible.
Studio policies
Failure to arrive for a scheduled shoot will incur the full arranged fee (excluding any print fees). Cancellation with less that twenty four hours notice will incur the full fee but that fee drops to 30% if a new appointment is made within 24 hours of the originally scheduled shoot and for a date within fourteen days and the newly scheduled appointment is kept.
Print Prices
For those who are at the stage of ordering printed versions of their images, please click on the link below for a PDF version of my basic print price list.
All print prices include full optimization to ensure the highest possible quality.
All shoots are subject to sales tax at the current rate on all fees and print costs.
For portraits, family, commercial, food, and still life shoots:
These types of shoots typically last up to one and a half hours. Then, I upload all of the raw, unoptimized images to a private online gallery. From these, you may choose ten images for me to optimize, included in the shoot price; additional images may be optimized at additional cost (see prices on pdf; also, bulk discounts are available if you would like a large number of images optimized.)
Digital photographs:
After I optimize your chosen images, I will create a new online gallery with these files available to download. The first ten optimized images will be available at a resolution suitable for printing up to 5*7; additional optimized images that you purchase will be provided at full resolution for printing up to poster size. You may also opt to order a CD of the optimized digital images.
Prints:
You may order prints for any of the images -- either your chosen optimized images or any of those in the raw folder. If you choose an image from the raw folder, I will optimize it before releasing it for printing. Under no circumstances will an unoptimized image be released for printing or web use. Images for which you order prints will not be available for download unless a digital image is specifically ordered.
Please click on the thumbnail to see the wedding pricing document. I think it is pretty straightforward but don't hesitate to get in touch if it is confusing in anyway. These prices are correct for 2011 but can vary slightly depending on circumstance and what you need. Remember that our first meeting is always free both of cost and obligation. After we meet (preferably in person though, if that is not possible, I am open to a telephone meeting) I would produce a contract which would show clearly the exact price (usually the price shown on this document) and unless and until you sign that you are obliged to nothing. If the price seems right and you wish to go with me I would ask for 50% up front to reserve your wedding day and to lock out any other couples. I would then ask for the remainder of the money on or before the wedding day.
If you find that this document does not cover your situation (for example if you simply need a short engagement shoot, rehearsal dinner covered or somebody to come to the reception for a shorter time, please still get in touch. I can sometimes cover these shorter jobs and would custom bid at a lower price if I am available.
In my business I tend to meet a lot of people and when those people seem to run or work for businesses which might be helpful for my clients I like to post a short resumé and a link to them here. I would like to stress that all of the people below are people I know on a personal basis, whose products and services I have personal knowledge of and also that I don’t ask for payment nor reciprocal links to post these. They are genuinely people I know and trust and would be happy to have my clients patronize. Please let me know if you go to any of the people listed and have a less than excellent experience (or even if you do have an excellent experience!)

Dr. Randall Hill of Bellingham Spinal Care is my choice for Bellingham's finest chiropractor. He has an expansive medical knowledge base and an "easy to relate to", professional manner. I'm in good company. When Northwest Business Monthly asked healthcare professionals from across the region to nominate their peers whom they consider to be outstanding physicians, chiropractor Randall Hill was Bellingham's 2009-2010 choice for chiropractic. He was nominated for 2008-09 as well.
Dr. Hill includes disc-injury specific "spinal decompression therapy" for patients that have back or neck symptoms that travel into the arm or leg. "It's a great adjunct to chiropractic care, giving me the opportunity to help patients who might otherwise require surgery", says Dr. Hill". While his focus is primarily on disc herniation care, Dr. Hill enjoys all of his chiropractic and sports injury-related work. He is proud to be the team chiropractor for the Bellingham Bulldogs (semi-pro football) and the Bellingham Roller Betties (roller derby).
If you're considering chiropractic care, I recommend you call his office. He'll provide a fifteen minute consult at no charge to ascertain whether he may be able to help you. If you have diagnostic films, bring them along for review. He accepts many insurances and welcomes seniors with Medicare.
Bellingham Spinal Care is located at 1633 Birchwood. They can be reached at 360 715-8722 or through his website at www.bellinghamspinalcare.com
