If you've been reading the blog and the fan page you've probably heard us mention more than once that some exciting changes were taking place in the land of lifeXpressions. We've asked you to hang in there and keep checking back well....it is time!

lifeXpressions wants our clients to know that we understand the current state of the economy. We also understand that your lifeXpressions session is an investment in quality portraits which, while certainly cherished by you for years to come, are more often than not considered a luxury versus a necessity. You're investing in your family's memories and that is not something to be taken lightly! We understand how much effort you put forth in planning your session and lifeXpressions wants to be sure you are getting the high quality artwork you deserve. To that end, we have restructured our session fees just slightly which we hope will offer our clients more choices in scheduling their sessions based on their needs at the time.

lifeXpressions is committed to offering our clients exceptional portraits of their loved ones, along with the highest level of customer service at the best possible rates! Read on to learn the details of each session. As always, we welcome your feedback!

**We understand this is a vacation destination. We love to work with large families who are visiting us for some fun in the Florida sun! As you might expect the more subjects in the session, the more time needed to give you the variety of high quality images you expect from lifeXpressions. For this reason sessions which include more than 5 subjects are charged a $25 fee for each additional subject.

Multi-Family/Generational Sessions are available which include all of the same offerings of our Exclusive Session above. The session fee for multi-family groups is $395 which includes coverage for up to 15 family members.

New Beginnings (Maternity & Newborn) $350*

New Beginnings with lifeXpressions includes two portrait sessions; your maternity session, as well as your newborn session and 24 custom designed birth announcements.

The first New Beginnings Session focuses on celebrating the natural beauty of the expecting mother. This session is typically scheduled during the last trimester of pregnancy. You can expect your maternity session to last approximately one hour. Terrilyn will either come to your home or meet you at the location of your choice. You can expect to be shown 10-15 images from this session.

Once your new baby has arrived, Terrilyn will come to your home to preserve this special time for your family. We recommend scheduling this session before your baby reaches four weeks of age.

Terrilyn welcomes and encourages the partner, as well as older siblings, to play a cameo role during the New Beginnings Sessions. It is important to note however, these sessions can be quite time consuming and ultimately the goal will be to preserve this special time as it pertains to the newborn, both before, and after his arrival.

Maternity sessions are only offered through the booking of a New Beginnings session. If a maternity session is not desired you may schedule a session for your newborn by booking the Exclusive Session featured above.

* An additional fee of $100 will be charged for sessions scheduled on holidays, weekends or after 3:00pm Monday - Friday.
