How much does a photography session cost?
We offer transparent, package-based pricing for every budget. Mini sessions start affordably for busy families, family portrait sessions include multiple outfit changes and locations, and wedding packages scale from intimate ceremonies to full-day coverage. Custom quotes are available for corporate and large events. Contact us for a detailed pricing guide.
How far in advance should I book my session?
Book as soon as possible—we have limited availability for 2026, and popular dates fill fast. Wedding dates especially book 6-12 months ahead, but we also offer seasonal mini sessions and family portraits with shorter booking windows. The sooner you reach out, the better your date options.
When will I receive my photos?
You'll have access to your online gallery and sneak peeks within days of your session. Full editing and delivery typically takes 1-2 weeks, so you're never waiting weeks for your images. Your private online gallery allows easy proofing, downloading, and print ordering whenever you're ready.
What should I wear to my session?
We provide styling guidance for all sessions to ensure you look and feel your best on camera. Coordinating family outfits, seasonal colors, and flattering styles are all discussed during your pre-session consultation. We'll help you choose looks that represent your personality and photograph beautifully.
Do you offer mini sessions or quick photography packages?
Yes! Our seasonal mini sessions are perfect for busy families wanting updated portraits without a longer commitment. These affordable, quick sessions are ideal for holiday card photos, seasonal milestones, or refreshed headshots. They're popular with growing families in Prospect Heights.
Can I see examples of your work before booking?
Absolutely. Our online portfolio showcases wedding galleries, family sessions, senior portraits, newborn work, and corporate headshots. You'll see our artistic style, editing quality, and attention to detail before you commit—visual proof that Murphy Photography delivers stunning, professional results.
