Photography sessions can be almost anywhere:  In studio, outdoors at your favorite location, or at your home or office.  You are welcome to bring a friend or family member.  A typical session will include anywhere from 30 to several hundred shots, depending on the length of the session, which will be narrowed down to the best shots for your review.  For outdoor and location sessions, there is always a small risk that we may have to reschedule due to weather.  (See Cancellation / Rescheduling section for more information.)

Weekend / Holiday Fee
I book all of my photography during the week.  Though I am generally not available on weekends or holidays, I realize sometimes that is the only opportunity that you may have available to you.  Depending on the specific date, I can sometimes make an exception, as my schedule and other obligations allow.   A higher session fee applies for a weekend or holiday session, depending on the date.  Inquire for more details.

Venue Fee
Some popular locations charge a fee for photo sessions.  For example, Zilker Botanical Gardens charges $50 per session as of June 16, 2007.  Other venues such as Mayfield Park may soon have a similar session fee.   Dunvegan Keep requires a fee of $45 for family portrait sessions, $125 for bridal sessions.   If you choose to use a location that charges a fee, you will be required to pay the fee as a part of the Booking Deposit.

Photography on Location / Travel
Applies to all non-studio sessions.   For example:  Travel to location shoot, outdoors, area park or other location, your home, office, etc.

  Travel to Site - Up to 20 miles from studio (78750 zip code) $45
  Travel to Site - Each mile beyond 20 miles from studio (78750 zip code) add: $1/mile
  Location Scouting $75/hr

Reimbursable Expenses

Commercial Work:  Reimbursable expenses are in addition to compensation for services, and include items such as printing, photocopying, additional travel costs (e.g. air travel), lodging, meals, long distance telecommunications, FAX transmission, freight and postage, and any other miscellaneous expenses incurred on behalf of the project. Reimbursable expenses will be invoiced  at 1.15 times the actual cost.


Nonrefundable Deposit Due at Time of Booking

A nonrefundable Booking Deposit is required in order to book a session.  Your Deposit will be applied toward your Session Fee.  For non-commercial photography, the amount of the Deposit depends on the estimated length of the Session. For photo shoots involving travel outside of the Austin area, a higher Deposit is required, and must be paid at least 2 weeks in advance.   If there is a separate Venue Fee (see above), it will be added to the Deposit amount.

Non-Commercial Photography - Approximate Session Length Deposit Required
1-2 Hour Sessions $120
3-4 Hour Sessions $240
Full Day Sessions $500
Commercial Photography - Based on Project Estimate 50% of Estimate
Event Photography 50% of Estimate

Booking A Session

You must contact Kevin Gourley Photography to schedule your session. Once your session has been scheduled, you may pay the Deposit online by clicking here, or you may pay by check. 

Pay the deposit online by clicking here
or you may pay by check!
 

Deposits are not refundable and should be paid as soon as possible after the session date/time is set. 

*** Until payment for the Booking Deposit is received, no session is considered "confirmed". 

Contact Kevin to book a session!

Cancellation / Rescheduling

If you need to reschedule your session for a different date or time, please try to do so at least 3 days prior to the scheduled session date. If you cancel or reschedule less than 24 hours before the session time, or do not appear for the session, the deposit is forfeited and you must pay a new deposit in order to re-schedule a new session date/time.   The new deposit is non-refundable and will be applied toward your new session fee and order total.  If it is raining at the time of the photo session, we can reschedule without forfeiting your deposit.

IMPORTANT: A prediction of rain does not mean the shoot will be canceled!  In most cases, the shoot can take place as scheduled without significant interference at the time of the shoot.  In fact, the light can be quite nice on rainy overcast days!  We will be in contact with you should bad weather potentially be an issue with the shoot, and if you have doubts, please call to avoid loss of your deposit!

Rush Orders

Sometimes you encounter a situation where you suddenly need a headshot or other type of photography done, on short notice.   That's the way "life" happens!   If you find yourself in that predicament, I can sometimes accommodate rush service, even same day or next day service.  Of course, I charge extra for this, but if you have an emergency, I'm ready with my fire extinguisher (so to speak). Contact me for more details.  I'm willing to help you with your "crisis"!  The main thing is to let me know prior to booking a service if you need instant turnaround!


Makeup Artist Available for an additional fee
The use of a professional makeup artist can greatly enhance the resulting portrait or headshot.   A makeup artist is worth considering if you need to be looking your very best for the photographs.

Proofs are samples of the best images taken during the session.

Image Preparation Fee  
(Applies to every image you wish to
purchase whether as a print or as a digital image, unless it was already included in a Special Package price)
$25/image

If you wish to purchase variations of the same image, for example:

- Various creative filters applied

- Or other special effects, etc.

If you have an old photograph that is scratched, torn, or water-damaged, a restored image will be created from your original.  Your original will be returned along with the restored image. For more info, click here:  Photograph Restoration
$90/hour
   
Chromakey / Background Elimination or Replacement
I also offer photography against a "chromakey" background (blue or green screen) for use in removing and substituting the background of an image.  This is often useful for commercial and advertising purposes.   Very basic editing is included in the standard $25 Image Preparation Fee.  Depending on the nature of the photography, and image complexity, there may be an additional charge.  Please call for a consultation.
$90/hr

Once the image preparation and retouching is completed, you may choose any combination of the following:
