Ahh, the dreaded question everyone has… “Yes it’s custom photography, but HOW MUCH DOES IT COST!?” I try my best to keep prices very reasonable and as versatile as possible for the average family. I pour my heart into each session to customize them specifically for your child or family, and really pride myself in the lasting relationships, customer service and entire session experience I am able to personally give you.
I've tried to simplify the session options below as best as I can, but would love to talk with you further if you have any additional questions as you make your decisions. I want you to be fully aware of everything available ahead of time, without any hidden costs, before you book your session.
I look forward to the opportunity to serve you in whatever session type best fits your needs! Thanks for taking the time to inquire with my services.

The Small Details:
Session Cancellation/Reschedule Policy:
- All retainers are non-refundable but may be transferable in certain circumstances. - Cancellation and/or reschedule notices by a client must be made no less than 1 week prior to the scheduled session date.
- Client reschedules require an additional $30 reschedule fee. Any reschedule request less than 1 week's notice requires an additional $50 fee.
- Weather cancellation/reschedules are determined by Amy Lee Photo and will NOT be charged additional fees.
- For everyone's safety, if you have a sick family member, or showing signs of runny nose, sore throat or fever, please reschedule. I would rather work out a different date and have happy/feeling good clients to work with.
All prints are professionally printed at a commercial printer. The LUSTRE finish is the standard finish used unless otherwise requested. It holds the color saturation of glossy prints without the amount of glare, and it has the fingerprint resistance of matte. All print orders will be shipped directly to you within 5-10 business days, excluding holidays. Print color and quality cannot be guaranteed when files are printed through another 3rd party printer, although you have that privilege to print where you’d like to with the digital print release documents. Client assumes all risks associated with printing other than through Amy Lee Photo.
For the convenience of proofing, ordering and sharing with friends and family, all photo sessions will be available in a secure online proofing gallery. For all sessions, please allow around 2-3 weeks from your shoot date before your proofs are online. You will be emailed a link and password directly to the gallery when all photos have been edited and posted online.
Your personal gallery will stay online for 14 days with any additional payment balances due by the 17th day. If no orders have been placed within that time and payment has not been received, then the gallery will be taken off of the site and no longer listed or allowed to be ordered from. A RE-LISTING/LATE FEE of $30 will apply for a request to enable viewing and continue with order placement, or for late orders and payment. Digital file link downloads will be available for 2 weeks before expiring.
It is recommended that you save these images in multiple locations and burn them to a disc or save them to an external hard drive or flash drive. Amy Lee Photo is not responsible for any personally lost files and cannot guarantee to still have your digital copies saved more than 6 months after your session to replace if they are personally lost, corrupted, or have hardware failures.
* Pricing/sales tax and session guide information is subject to change at any time without prior notice, and all physical items (print purchases) will be charged additional Missouri Sales Tax. * Standard shipping fee is $6.00. Canvas purchase shipping fees start at $15 depending on the size and quantity of canvases purchased.
