Summer 2025 Portrait Photography Special
While I’ve always technically been open to commissions over the years in graphic design and photography, I have completely relied on word-of-mouth referrals when taking on clients. I’ve been reviewing my website and portfolios recently and have decided that it is time to give the portrait portfolio a little refresh, so I figured it’s a great time to offer a portrait photography special.
What are the details? Check them out for yourself, and I am open to any questions you might have!
On-Location Portraits (5 spots available) - $150
What’s included?
~1 hour of shooting time (overcast or evening around “golden hour”)
These sessions can be for 1-2 people and their pet(s)/animal(s)

I am an on-location, natural light photographer with a fine art documentary style. I process photographs in Adobe Lightroom with VSCO presets to add a timeless and nostalgic film-like finish. I edit true-to-color leaning warm in tone.
Full sets with reprint rights and airbrushing are available as add-ons. If you are interested, just ask! I do not offer raw files to clients.
This is a perfect deal for high school seniors who are graduating in 2026 and 2027. Yearbook photos are always free, so you can get 11 images with this deal if you are having your senior photos taken with me.
Photography sessions with me start at $300 with similar inclusions, so take advantage of this portfolio refresh offer to snap up this special deal. You are welcome to “grab your spot” by paying the retainer and then scheduling with me at another time as long as it is within the time period outlined above.
This deal does not apply to family sessions. I do plan on offering some specials in the future such as mini sessions, but not this year due to how busy my fall will be, which is “peak” family portrait season. If you are interested in a family session, you may by all means reach out to me…just know that I am keeping my books very limited with those types of inquiries.
I am interested in creating a portfolio of humans and their furry best friends. If you’d like to bring your dog, cat, horse, or other domestic animal to your session–we would love to have them. In order to incentivize these sessions, you can take $25 off the special rate. I may open up more spots for People & Their Pets sessions if there is enough interest.
Session time is always subject to availability and weather conditions. I work full-time and my weekend availability can vary. I will typically schedule photo shoots in the evening when the sun is not too high in the sky which can cause harsh shadows, the light is warmer and not harsh with heavy, awkward shadows. I want to make sure you are all photographed in the best light (pun intended).
The deposit is part of the overall fee, so if you pay the $50 non-refundable retainer/deposit, the remaining $100 is due upon delivery. This fee is the same for all portrait sessions I offer, even at full price.
Final payment is invoiced upon image delivery, though you do have the option to pay in full prior to your session if you so choose.
This photography special is subject to my standard contract.
To inquire or ask questions, please reach out to emilywayland13@gmail.com or text 608-239-1580 and mention this special. I will not hold spots unless retainers are paid.
*Location being considered within service area is at the photographer’s discretion.
