Engagement Photography

Our sessions start at $75. 

Outdoor sessions are our expertise and what we specialize in. Almost all our sessions are outdoors.  

We try and pick a location that is central between us and the clients and try to keep that within 25 miles (50 miles roundtrip). If you prefer a location that is farther, we can definitely do that. There will be a travel fee for locations farther than 25 miles, and the distance will determine the amount of the travel fee.   

The sessions start at 30 minutes and are available up to 2 hours.  

Simplicity is always best, so when in doubt, keep in mind that “less is more.” Here are a few things to consider when selecting your wardrobe:

Solid tops work best: They don't have to be the same color, but a uniform color does photograph really nicely. If there are prints or designs, it is just too busy and is distracting in the picture.

Same color bottoms: If you both want to wear all black, khakis, jeans, etc., that’s totally fine. If you're both wearing the same type, it just grounds the picture really well. Long pants look much nicer than shorts, and  ladies, if you want to wear a skirt or dress, go for it!

Accessories: Jewelry, watches, etc....those are all great!  We just ask that any pieces of jewelry are not too big and chunky so they don't take away from the focus.  

Ladies, if you could wear some kind of heels, even if they are just small ones, you'd be surprised what a difference it makes in the pictures compared to flats! (If you want to bring flats to walk around in though, definitely feel free!)  

Also, we ask that you (guys or ladies) please don't wear hats. They can create shadows on your face and make it difficult, depending on the lighting, to see you, and we really want you and your family to be the focus of the pictures! 

Yes! Even if you are someone who doesn’t wear much makeup on a daily basis or likes a minimal look, we do ask that you wear some makeup for your session. You can still have that natural look and not look “fake” or “made-up,” but without it, you will look very washed out. Natural-looking makeup photographs really nicely. Big bold colors really tend to be distracting, so neutral colors for lipsticks, eye colors, and blush work really well.  

We definitely realize that Mother Nature might not always cooperate with our schedule. When we book your session, we will pick a date and then have a back-up date just in case the weather is not looking good for the day of your session. I usually start to look at the weather about 3-4 days ahead of your scheduled session, and if it looks like it will potentially be bad weather, I will reach out to you and we can discuss what we want to do.

We know that many people love their fur babies and would like to include them in their sessions. If you have a pet you would like to be a part of the session, we just ask that you bring someone else along with you to watch them when they are not in the pictures so that we can focus on you and your family without you being distracted by having to take care of them.  

LightMaster Studios has a VERY quick turnaround time with proof galleries ready in 2-3 weeks. We’ve been known to show a few sneak peek images before that 2-3 week mark as well!

You will be emailed an online viewing gallery where you can see your images and even share them with family and friends. With that gallery, you will also be able to select favorite images you might want for prints, save the date cards, or other products.  

We offer a variety of products, including digital images; albums; different styles of prints, such as canvas, acrylic, wood, and beautiful wall clusters; customized save the date and thank you cards and many other items.  

Of course!  In the friends and family online gallery, they are able to select their favorite images and order products.

Absolutely! You will be given the license in your contract and can use your images for social media, make prints (up to size 8x10), use them for save the date cards, etc. We at the studio have the copyrights to use the images for our social media and marketing.  

The final images you receive will not have our watermark on them. We do ask that, if you share them on social media, please give the studio credit for the images. You can credit the studio in several ways:
