Investment
Session fees:
Session fees cover the general expenses of creating your images. These fees do not cover photographers time, print purchases, or digital files.
Sessions run from $19.95 to $350.00. Sessions are based on the amount of time you spend with the photographer and are custom designed specifically for your needs. Outdoor sessions start at $100. Saturday appointments require an extra fee of $50 added to any session that you choose. Sunday appointments are available on a VERY limited basis (we need to spend time with our families too) an extra charge of $100 will be added to your session fee for those who do choose to hold your appointments on Sundays.
Print Prices:
Print prices run from $35.00 to $1500 on an ala-cart basis so that you may choose only the items that you want and need. There is a wide variety of sizes and additional products to choose from at a wide price range. All images are printed by a professional photo lab on archival quality professional paper. Each and every image is meticulously prepared for color balance, proper exposure, and minor imperfections and blemishes to offer the quality that you deserve.
Possible Extra Fees:
Mileage $.75 mile if traveling more than 45 miles from Fernley, NV.
Purchasing Commitment:
Northern Nevada Imaging does not impose a minimum purchase, however, we do ask for a purchasing commitment. This commitment is minimal and ensures that the artist that created your images receives a competitive hourly wage as well as pay any expenses associated with producing your final order

Service V Product: what are you paying for?
Photography is a unique industry. There is not an industry standard for what you are paying for. Sometimes you pay for a service, sometimes you pay for a product, the styles vary, the quality varies, being clear and precise about what you are paying for and what you are getting are imperative to an equal business relationship.
Northern Nevada Imaging uses a service+ product pricing model built into a product menu. What does this mean to you? It means…. the price that you think that you should pay for an item may not be what we have to charge for that item. It means that standard price comparison models are not effective. It means that unless we are effective in communicating what we are charging for there may be a great difference in perspective.
One of the most common questions I get is how much is a 5×7? how much is an 8×10? We are unable to acuately answer this question. I have a menu that gives me a general idea, however, first you will pay for the service, second you will pay for the piece of paper. This is why a digital image is priced at $45. There is no piece of paper however, there is a huge amount of service involved in creating that image.
We do what we do because we love it. If a customer does not compensate us for the time that we invest in creating a product that you love, we will not be able to do what we love.
Northern Nevada Imaging is based on a working model so that you may enjoy our service not matter what your budget. How do we accomplish such a feat without sacrificing quality?
1. We customize sessions to meet you needs.
2. We determine your needs prior to investing our time and talents.
3. We closely monitor all aspects of what is required to create a product for each and every customer.
4. We have built a simplified pricing model that includes all of the services needed to provide a custom product that meets all of your expectations without having to worry about hiden fees.
Working with Northern Nevada Imaging is an investment, your monetary investment must cover all of the services required to create your custom product. The next time you would like to ask how much an 8×10 or 5×7 will cost, I can tell you, but it will not be an accurate estimate of how much you can expect to spend.
Any gift print 8×10 or smaller or a digital image will cost the same amount, because it requires the same amount of time to create that item and the cost of the piece of paper is minimal compared to the cost of the service.

Happy Christmas and Merry New Year.
We haven’t had enough time lately to spend much time on the blog, that is a great thing! Believe me it isn’t because we don’t love our readers, it is because our readers love us so much we have been working non-stop. I feel like a little elf trying to get everyone’s christmas packages ready befor the big day. I do believe that happy christmas and Merry new year much better describe this time of year for us. We are happy that it is christmas, but we will be merrily celebrating the new year when it comes around!
