I am based in the Upper Valley of New Hampshire. Because NH is a small state and driving an hour in any direction can get me pretty far, I base my radius on time, not mileage. With that said, I cover the first hour of travel in my session fee... after that, there are travel fees added on depending on location. If you are not willing to pay these fees, then the list of locations below are spots you can choose that will help you avoid additional travel fees and keep your cost low and my travel fees to a minimum. Win-win!

September - May I can accommodate beach sessions at either Jenness Beach or Hampton Beach in New Hampshire. These are the two closest beaches. I will not book summer sessions at the beach due to added traffic time making my travel much longer.
$125 Travel Fee
I have a list of studios available to rent should a studio work best for your birthday, family or newborn session (any session of any kind, really!). There is a separate studio fee that is added on. Because of this, no additional travel fee is added on.
$100-$300 Studio fee
Am I limited to these locations?
Why are there travel fees?
Do you have a studio?
Will you come to our home?
No! I am happy to find an alternative that’s not on this list. However, the drive will need to be within 1.5 hours of travel each way for me as I am no longer traveling beyond that (unless we have a prearranged session). Finding a location that is usually in the middle of both of us is preferable as needed.
After a decade of traveling many miles and putting a lot of hours on my car, in order to not inflate my session fee and keep it fair for those willing to come to a more local session, I decided to implement travel fees. These are non-negotiable.
I do not have a personal studio but I do have a network of various studios available for rent for sessions, depending on your location. For studios, travel fees are included in the price - however, the studio rental fee is not included in my session fee, so will be added on to your invoice and will be used as the non-refundable deposit for the session.
I am happy to come to your home if it’s within my travel radius of 1.5 hours. If you fall outside of that, we will either need to find a location that works for both of us, we can consider a studio or I can refer you to a photographer in your area.
