Send your name and email. I reply within one business day, with the price for your town and open dates. Nothing is charged to ask.
Corporate or social coverage
Corporate events need clean, readable frames of speakers, groups and branding. Social events need the moments in between: toasts, hugs, a dance floor. I plan both with you before the day, so we cover the schedule and the people who matter.
Send the date, the venue and the hours you need. If the event runs long, extra hours are $250 each.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
How long do events and large sessions take?
Events, weddings and large sessions are delivered in 2 to 3 weeks, because there are far more images to select and edit. Event packages are priced by the hour or the day, from $500 for 2 hours to $1,800 for up to 12 hours.
How do I book and pay?
Pick a date on the booking page. A 25 percent retainer reserves the date and is non-refundable. The balance is due on the day of the session. NC sales tax of about 6.89 percent is added automatically, and quotes are shown before tax. You can also call or send a message first.
How much is the travel fee?
Travel is included within 10 miles of Apex: Apex, Cary, Holly Springs, Morrisville and New Hill. Towns 10 to 25 miles away, such as Raleigh, Fuquay-Varina, Garner and Pittsboro, add $50. Towns 25 to 50 miles away, such as Durham, Chapel Hill, Wake Forest, Clayton, Knightdale, Rolesville, Wendell and Zebulon, add $100 and are by arrangement. Beyond 50 miles is a custom quote. The fee shows in your quote before you pay.
How much is a photographer in Wake County?
GKPhoto prices are published. Headshots start at $250, graduation at $200, family at $225, athlete sessions at $225 and events at $500. Those are prices before NC sales tax, and the quote builder on the price list shows your exact total with travel and tax.
What happens if I cancel?
If you cancel, the retainer is not refunded and the balance is not charged. A no-show also forfeits the retainer. Weather is the exception: a weather reschedule is always free. The retainer is 25 percent of the package price, so the amount at risk is known before you book.
Not sure yet?
Not sure how many hours to book? The quiz prices 2, 6 and 12 hours and hourly coverage.
