Thank You, Albuquerque!
Thanks to all of our wonderful Maternity Portrait clients, Susan is now getting requests for general - and some additional niche - portraiture.
To everyone who has asked,
Will you photograph my family?, or
I'm not 20 any longer, but I would like some pretty and feminine portraits. Will you do them? or
I would really like to have a portrait of me with my mom. Would you be willing to do that?
- the answer is "Yes" and "thank you for enjoying my approach to portraiture!"
Custom Portraiture For Everyone
Although Susan began doing portraits strictly as a maternity photographer, she has had so many requests to do other kinds of portraits, that Albuquerque Portraits formed as a separate entity. That was after one person said she would really like to be photographed with her father, but that he would never go to a place called Albuquerque Maternity Portraits. I can understand that. The additional different types of portraiture being offered now seemed to call for a more general name. Albuquerque Portraits exists to offer unique, custom portraits for everyone desiring images that reflect who they are, how they see themselves, and how they would like others to see them.
Albuquerque Maternity Portraits will continue to do the custom maternity portraits for which Susan has become known.
Pre-session Consultation
Before the actual photographic session for portraits, I like to meet with the person or people to be photographed. There is no charge for this meeting, because it is absolutely necessary to achieving the images you desire. The more I understand what that is, the better job I can do for you. In fact, I do not book a portrait session until we do meet.The easiest way to schedule this no-charge consultation session is online. You may also e-mail me at susan@abqportraits.com or call the office at (505) 884-9488.
There is no obligation for you to book a portrait session until we finish the pre-session consultation. After we talk, we may decide I am not the photographer for you. If that is the case, it is still time well spent for both of us, and sometimes I can suggest a photographer who might be a better fit for you.
Once you decide to schedule the actual portrait session, the session fee is due and payable to hold your time slot. The session fee is nonrefundable, but should an emergency arise, you may reschedule once. If you find it necessary to reschedule a second time, a new session fee will be charged.
Session Fees
Session fees are for time and talent used to create portraits, and do not include finished prints. The fee includes pre-session consultation, taking and preparing of the photographs, and ordering session. The photographic session itself lasts approximately 60 minutes. The session fee is due at the time of booking and is nonrefundable. $125.00 plus gross receipts tax of 6.625%. A separate minimum order of $200.00 is required for prints and products. No portion of an order will be released until the order has been paid in full. We accept payment by cash, check, money order, or by credit card through PayPal.
Online Proofing
Several days after your photo session, proofs will be posted online in your own password-protected gallery. See Client Viewing. You may share your password with friends and relatives you think might like to order their own prints from your session. Payment in full is due when you order your selections.
Special Packages
A 10% discount will be given to all print orders placed and paid within 10 days of posting of proofs within your password-protected private viewing area.
Design Your Own Package! And Save!
Each person has a different idea about what he or she would like to see in a “package deal.” Rather than try to design packages for everyone, Albuquerque Maternity Portraits invites you to design your own custom package that fits your unique needs. Here is how it works – the more prints you purchase, the bigger your discount, for getting exactly the prints and products that you want. You may order prints that are all the same, or that are all different. It is your choice! These discounts may be combined with the 10% discount for ordering and paying within 10 days of posting of your proofs in your password protected viewing area! Order together with family and friends to maximize your discount! Please note that no discounts are offered on retouching and artwork.
200 – up to 400 in prints and products: 10% discount
400 – up to 600 in prints and products: 15% discount
600 – up to 800 in prints and products: 20% discount

A 10% discount will be given to all print and product orders placed and paid within 10 days of posting of proofs within your password-protected private viewing area. 30 days after posting of proofs within your password-protected private viewing area, proofs will be removed. If you wish to have them reposted for another 30 days, a $25.00 reposting fee applies. All orders must be paid before any portion of the order will be released. We accept payment by cash, check, or credit card through PayPal.
Wallets (die-cut 2.5 x 3.5 inch) may be purchased when you purchase a print (any size), at 4 (same image) for $12.00, or a very special price of 48 (same image) for $50.00. A great way to share your images with family and friends.

In addition to general portraiture, by popular request, Susan now also offers head shots and tattoo shots.
