Details

The total cost breaks down into two parts: the session fee and then the photographs you decide to order. The session fee is $400 and includes your pre-shoot consultation, professional hair & makeup styling the day of your session (in-studio only), access to the studio's wardrobe and your guided, custom photoshoot!

Following the session you select the images you would like to order and they are carefully hand-edited to your preferences. There are no minimum orders and no sales pressure-what you order is entirely up to you. As I see it, my job is to take the best photographs you've ever seen of yourself, so the photos sell themselves! Photographs start at $250- let us know if you're interested in more detail and we'll send a price list to you!

Also, if you'd like to break the cost down even further, note that we offer gift cards, registries, and payment plans.

The short answer is both! The KVT Photography studio is a beautiful space located in New Haven that is well-equipped for any type of session. Studio sessions generally include hair & makeup as we have a full makeup counter there. We also offer several off-site locations at no additional charge as they are spaces we know well so extra time is not required. Custom locations are also an option, but may require an additional fee due to extra time required to scout the site ahead of time and the possible need for extra lighting equipment.

The studio will book sessions up to five months out, but usually 2-3 weeks prior is plenty of time for us to plan your session.

DO YOU INCLUDE DIGITALS?

While Karissa is adamant about the power of a print, she also recognizes the value and importance of having the photographs as digitals, so every photograph you order will also be delivered digitally.
