This is a friends an family discount that I'm offering to MAA members. I can usually photograph two pieces per hour and I'll burn both high quality images for printing and low-rez images for use on the web onto a CD. 

I also shoot portraits that can be used for marketing purposes. Portrait sessions start at $200 (in studio) and can be composited with text or other images to give artists a powerful marketing tool.

Feel free to contact me with questions.
