Prices set by Harley Rose Photography are determined by the many factors that contribute to a photo session. Factors that are included in pricing include: 

• Time spent scheduling and discussing session

• Time spent traveling to and from the session, including gasoline and wear-and-tear on vehicles

• Cost of equipment, including cameras, batteries, SD cards, laptop, and software

• Cost of general liability insurance

• Time and skills spent taking photos

• Time and skills spent editing photos and uploading them

A 1 hour photo session may easily include 5+ hours of unseen time dedicated to your session. 

Travel fees are based on milage. Milage is based on the distance to the session location (including distance between locations, greater than 5 miles, for sessions of multiple locations) from Independence, VA or Sparta, NC (based on whichever is closer). Travel fees are $1 per mile (one-way). For locations further than 10 miles, milage is rounded down to the nearest 10th mile. This is added to Harley Rose Photography's base hourly rate. 

For packages, this is doubled to account for traveling to and from the session or event location. 

For example:  A session at Widows Creek Falls (near Stone Mountain State Park), this location is approximately 29 miles from Independence, VA and Approximately 18 miles from Sparta, NC. This location would be based on the distance from Sparta, so this would be +$10 to our hourly rates.

Tips are not required, but are very appreciated by your photographers! 

 Mini photo sessions are priced less than regular photo sessions and are set on a particular date or time frame. Holiday themed mini photo sessions typically have props set up such as Christmas decor at Christmas mini photo sessions or Easter decorations at Spring or Easter mini photo sessions. Mini photo sessions are set for a specific location on a certain date with back to back clients booked. Mini photo sessions can also be booked for less time than a regular photo session. Regular photo sessions typically start at 30 minutes for a session time, however, mini photo sessions typically start at around 10 minute increments with other varying lengths.  

Each Photographer may have a different interpretation of mini sessions, but this is Harley Rose Photography's take on them. 

We try to keep our prices lower than other photographers in the area to make photos more available to lower income households. Unfortunately, it is set in our policies that if there is no payment, no photos will be sent to the customer or posted to any of our social medias. You may reschedule your session for a later date as needed. Upon discussion with Harley Rose Photography, a payment plan may be able to be created for certain sessions, however this will be based on a case-by-case basis. 

The Square Service we use does offer Afterpay with optional instalment payments, please visit their website for more information

Generally we are flexible with our photo session times, however, if the session does go more than approximately 14 minutes over, the cost of your session will rise.

If 1 hour = $90, but the session is an hour and 15 minutes, the total cost would be $112.50

Your experience is customizable with all our various Packages and Hourly Rates  , please view our packages and hourly rates pages to see what is included with each!

YES! Whether it is people who will be in your photos or just someone who is there to hype you up or help you pose, all are welcome! However, negativity and degrading comments will not be tolerated by anyone. 

Contact Harley Rose Photography  or use our Web Site to book a session! We will ask for some basic contact information, a little about the session type it will be (family, couple, individual, etc), where you would like your session, and when you would like it to be.  We will send your contract upon booking!

We try to arrive between 5 and 15 minutes early to sessions, however sometimes it is just not possible with some circumstances. If we are ever late, your session time will begin when we start taking photos, rather than the actual scheduled time frame. 

YES! As long as there are no rules, such as certain areas of parks not allowing animals or common courtesy rules, we love all animals! We just ask that you are able to maintain control of your animals and to clean up any messes they may make, as to not damage any of our equipment or props.
