PORTRAIT PRICING

Portrait session fees start at $500 and headshots at $300.

It’s my firm belief that all families should be able to have beautiful portraits done, so at least once a year I offer affordable mini sessions. Follow along on Instagram and sign up for my newsletter to get the scoop on dates and locations. Any time of year, I am always willing to talk through budget options to ensure that everyone has access to great photos.

WHAT’S INCLUDED?

• Edited, high-resolution digital files available

• A password-protected online gallery to share with family and friends

• Simple online print ordering so you and your loved ones can get the tangible products you need, and nothing you don’t

• An email consult to talk about creating portraits of your family that truly reflect who you are. We’ll pick the location, time of day, and even chat about wardrobe ideas.

MAKE PHOTOS A TRADITION

—and a priority.

As a parent to two young kids, my phone is filled with thousands of photos of my children being sweet or funny or weird. But when it comes to photos of the whole family, the member who’s most often missing is me.

Planning and budgeting for family photos is a worthwhile tradition. You’ll never regret taking the time to pause and capture your family as it is in that moment. Yearly portraits give you the gift of seeing a reflection of how far your family has come and the subtle growth you might otherwise miss.

THE DETAILS

I CAN BE ALL BUSINESS, BUT I’M STILL FUN

With me at your event or portrait session, you can be sure that you will get both technical expertise and an artist’s eye for detail. I have years of experience and training and great enthusiasm for taking beautiful and interesting photographs.

I meet clients where they are, and ensure that your portrait session is comfortable, fun, and as relaxed as possible. If you want pictures that truly reflect the beauty of your celebration, self, or family, with the assurance of the utmost quality and care, Michelle Schapiro Photography is right for you.

I've had the good fortune to work with some amazing clients; please check out their testimonials or read my reviews on Yelp.

YOU WANT THE BEST

BUT YOU HAVE A BUDGET.

Believe me, I get budgets. I understand that even though photography is really important to you, so is paying rent or your mortgage. So I strive to be as transparent as possible about pricing, and work with clients to help them get what they need.

If you believe you’ve found the right photographer and you’re ready to talk about rates, get in touch.

If you’re worried it’s not in the budget, get in touch anyway. We can talk about how to make photography work for you, and get the most out of your money. I operate on a sliding scale because I want you to feel good about what you pay, and I hold funds to subsidize sessions for folks from groups that have historically been marginalized.

WEDDINGS

I love photographing weddings. Over the past 10+ years I have had the good fortune to observe and document so many incredible love stories. Due to some personal circumstances, I’m not really booking weddings at the moment. I hope to return to it, but in the meantime here are some other excellent queer wedding photographers in the Boston area. If you have an event that will occur in the next 6 months or so, get in touch! But wedding bookings for over a year in advance I unfortunately can’t accommodate.
