2013 Pricing Updates

I've eluded to the new 2013 pricing structure that Ashley Marie Photography will be following but I will now be in the process of updating the website to reflect it as 2012 is officially booked solid.

For the past two years Ashley Marie Photography has followed a more individualized pricing structure with different fees for different types of sessions.  Moving forward, as my time will be more limited and things a lot busier with our first baby expected in 2013, I'm changing to a more simplified structure to help everyone out!

Currently, on average, between $20-$30 is being spent on CD costs above and beyond the existing pricing structure.  It is our belief, that in an effort to provide the BEST possible photography services to current and new clients that the existing a la carte system can be at times confusing and therefore we have decided a more "all inclusive" style of pricing will better fit the needs of everyone.  If you have any questions or concerns, or simply would like additional information regarding our new structure, please do not hesitate to contact us.



The new pricing structure will be as follows:

1 Hour Session - $100

-1 hour at the studio or outdoors within 25 miles round trip of 53403

  2. There will still be mini sessions but they will only be a couple special days similar to this year. Most likely fall minis & Christmas minis. As previously stated you can book up to 2 sessions locking in the current rates but this does not apply to minis as minis are special events.
