My Pricing Philosophy

At Dani Elle Photography LLC, I believe in offering more than just photos—I create timeless artwork designed to be treasured for generations. My pricing reflects the level of care, artistry, and attention to detail that goes into each portrait session.

Here’s why I’ve structured my pricing this way:

1. Commitment to Quality

I use only the highest-quality materials and professional labs that specialize in producing heirloom prints, wall art, and albums. The goal is to offer you artwork that not only looks stunning but also lasts a lifetime. Consumer prints simply can’t compare to the lasting value and superior quality that I provide.


2. Craftsmanship and Expertise

Every photo I take is the result of years of experience, technical skill, and an artistic vision that’s tailored to you and your family. From the initial consultation to the final product, I invest time in perfecting each image to ensure it reflects your vision and creates a meaningful keepsake for your family.


3. The Importance of Archival Prints

In this digital age, when images are buried in newsfeeds before the day is out, I want your great-grandchildren to be able to study a beautiful archival print in their hands when they are curious which side of the family they resemble most. There is an incredible difference between scrolling through photos on your phone and holding that album in your hands as you carefully flip through each page.


I'm not going to just send you some digital images and send you away to figure out the rest on your own. I am a full-service studio, and I will walk you through the entire process—from the initial consultation until you have a gorgeous heirloom-quality album in your hands and breathtaking wall art ready to hang on your walls.


4. Why Digital Files Are Separate

While I understand the convenience of digital images, they don’t allow me to provide the full value I believe in. High-resolution images are available for purchase because they require additional editing, preparation, and expertise. I offer these images as part of comprehensive packages that are designed to give you more flexibility, while ensuring the final product is something you’ll be proud to display and cherish.


5. Heirloom Products to Preserve Your Memories

My focus is on creating lasting memories through heirloom-quality prints, albums, and wall art. I offer a range of product options, from custom albums to large statement pieces that will bring your images to life. These items are crafted to preserve your memories in a way that digitals alone simply cannot match.


6. Full-Service Experience

When you work with me, you’re choosing a full-service experience. I’ll be with you every step of the way, ensuring you don’t have to navigate the process on your own. I’ll help you choose the best print products, albums, and wall art that suit your home and style. From start to finish, my goal is to make the experience as smooth and enjoyable as possible.


7. Pricing Transparency

I want you to feel confident and informed when making your decisions. My pricing is structured to reflect the quality of service, artistry, and materials provided. The creative fee is non-refundable and due upon booking to reserve your session date.


This fee includes a pre-shoot consultation, my time during the session, preparation of your images for presentation, one ordering session, and print credit (if applicable).


Print products and digital images are sold separately. Here’s a breakdown of my pricing:

  • Standard Prints: Starting at $40
  • Wall Art: Starting at $100
  • Books: Starting at $130
  • Albums: Starting at $350


I accept cash, check, Visa, Mastercard, Discover, and American Express. Please note that NC state sales tax of 7% is added to all creative fees.


8. The Value of Investing in Your Memories

By choosing print products or albums in addition to digital files, you’re investing in something that will stand the test of time. These items can be passed down through generations, allowing future family members to enjoy the same memories you do today. The experience of physically holding a beautiful print or flipping through an album far surpasses the temporary pleasure of viewing a file on a screen.


Let’s Create Something Beautiful Together

I am here to guide you through every step of the process, whether you’re looking for prints to decorate your home or albums to gift to loved ones. My goal is to help you preserve and display your memories in a way that will bring you joy for years to come.
