Sessions Abroad
As our clients relocate or share their photos with their family and friends who live around the country, we often get asked if Anna is willing to travel for a session. We have typically handled this on a case by case basis, but we thought it was about time we put together an actual Travel Session Package.
- Get 2 or 3 friends together and book a minimum of 3 custom sessions at $400 each, or 4 sessions at $300 each. Sessions fees are paid in advance and are non-refundable. Travel accommodations are only booked after at least 3 paid sessions.
- The sessions will take place over a two-day period, that we will work out with each client. Lead time will vary from 2-12 weeks depending on scheduling factors.
- All ordering will be done about a month after the session in our online gallery, and orders will be shipped 3-4 weeks after each order is placed.
As always, feel free to contact us with any questions that relate to your specific situation.
