Portraits:

A good picture captures a moment in time. A portrait must be more than just a good picture. I believe that a good portrait captures a whole facet of someone's personality. I try to find the image that embodies that person as a whole, not just their smile.

What counts as a portrait session? Almost anything, but here are some examples:

• Graduation/Prom Photos
• Professional Head Shots
• Maternity/Baby Photos
• Family Portraits
• Sports Team or Band Photos
• Birthday or Event Photography

What You Get:

With any portrait session, the following are included:

• Setup Fee
• 1 CD of images in color and black and white, both in high resolution print size and a smaller convenient web size.
• 3 free photoshop retouches per hour or "look" scheduled
• An online gallery to show friends and family

Extras:

• One extra "look" per half hour of photography scheduled after the first
• Reasonable travel expenses if outside the San Fancisco Bay Area
• Photoshop retouching beyond what is included in the basic session
• I can recommend hair and makeup stylists, if desired

Engagement Photos:

Engagement photos are priced as a portrait session of 1 1/2 - 2 hours.

Weddings:

Max Johnson is doing weddings by request, but pricing is on a per event basis at this time.

Touchups:

Sometimes photos need a little extra love. That is where digital retouching or "photoshopping" comes in. Blemish and wrinkle removal, teeth whitening, and other photo touchups are just a small part of what can be achieved with a bit of digital elbow grease. Photo restoration is also possible for aged or damaged pictures.

There are two levels of retouching, with separate pricing:

• Basic - Contrast and saturation adjustments, skin blemish removal, sharpening
• Advanced - Background replacement, major alterations like adding/removing a person

Pricing:

When you schedule a portrait session three basic touchups of your choice are included, plus an additional three for each hour after the first.
