Pricing is based on size* and size is based on things like - how many people and things are depicted? Is it a full body composition? A more intimate head and shoulders or something in between? When potential sketches are presented I provide the info on what each would cost.

Here are some examples of different size dimensions with works of similar size.

To a certain extent it's possible to work within guidelines or you can let the process unfold and I'll find the ideal size that fits the both the subjects and the composition. I ask for 25% downpayment but only once the sketches are approved. The rest is on completion and installment plans are available.

The price is for the ultimate piece of work - I include in that everything it takes to get the best piece of work possible. If I have one photo session or four, if I need to meet with you to show you sketches twice or five times the price is the same. I want you to have a thing of value that you'll love forever.
