2019 Investment And Session Policies

Desiderata Photography by Lisa Jones offers custom boutique child, tween, teen, and high school senior portraiture on location in South Florida. Specializing in children and young adults, my personally styled sessions are designed to tell a story, preserving unique character at this moment in time. Due to a hands-on approach and attention to every little detail, I offer very limited session availability, which allows me to provide a unique white-glove service to my clientele. Utilizing a timeless, fine art approach, I strive to capture your moments and preserve them forever. I exclusively photograph children under the age of 17 and high school seniors.

Our journey together begins with your inquiry, followed by a consultation to discuss ideas, favorites, touchstone elements, and wishes.  We can meet over coffee, video chat, telephone or email, depending on your personal style and availability.  Blending your child or impending graduate's personality and favorites with your aesthetic tastes and my creativity, we will work together to determine wardrobe, location, and setting, building the session of your dreams. 

Booking your full session requires a $200 non-refundable retainer, regardless of session type. The retainer reserves your session time and day and is applied to your session fee. The balance of your chosen session type is due 48 hours prior to your session date. 

Desiderata Photography's session fees include consultation(s), ordering session and/or preparation of a digital gallery, photographic time, fine editing artistry, and one web-ready "premiere" image.  All other products and collections are purchased separately.

Due to the commitment and time involved in planning your session and creating portrait art, images to be shown and edited are carefully selected by me.  

In-person post session meetings are ideal for those that prefer to select their images from a larger gallery and/or purchase heirloom products.  Clients are invited to meet for an ordering session where they will be able to peruse fine art heirloom pieces.

Clients that desire "digital only" collections may opt to receive their artfully curated pre-purchased fully edited digital collection via link.  This is perfect for families that are unable to meet post session. Please note that the images for these sessions are fully selected and edited by me and clients must purchase a collection prior to the session. 

Fully edited galleries range in size from five to twenty images. Gallery sizes are customized based on session type and the collection desired. 

Limited edition "Vignette" Sessions (you may know these as "minis") are also offered at various times and seasons. These petite sessions are announced to existing clientele before they are released to the public. Truly more than your typical mini, these sessions are uniquely and carefully crafted by me and offer elements that are exclusive to the vignette.  These sessions are big and brilliant on attention and quality, but short and sweet on time.
