Thank you for your interest in Darci Amundson Photography. Hopefully this blog post will answer some of those many questions that will come up for you as you contemplate purchasing my 2012 Living Social promotion.
I have tried to answer many of the questions you may have below. If not, please feel free to email me at portraits@darciphotography.com, or call me at 303-476-1821. If I am with another client I will return your emails and calls soon as possible. Please be aware that while this deal runs I may get swamped with calls.

I can say right now it is much quicker to e-mail, this way I have your contact information on hand.
My clients are what make my business so much fun. Here are some comments from my clients:
“Amazing! Seriously such an impressive presentation. Honestly I have never paid this amount of money for pictures but we’ve never seen this type of quality before. We hope to book you for a sibling session next year or possibly a family session. Again, thank you.” Nancy
“Darci – I received my print, photo books and DVD yesterday. I could not be happier!!! Thank you so much for doing a fabulous job!” Tracy
“I could write a long list of reasons why I love Darci Amundson Photography. First and foremost, Darci is great to work with. In every shoot I have done with her, she has made me feel extremely comfortable and I’ve had a ton of fun. And obviously, she does amazing work. I have yet to see a photo she has taken that I dislike. You’re awesome Darci.” Morgan
“”I want to say thank you so much for all that you’ve done in capturing my family’s most precious moments. From the day I had my lil angel growing inside of me until the day he devoured his cupcakes at his 1st bday shoot! Moments that I will cherish for the rest of my life. It was an amazing journey and i thank you for wanting to be a part of it Darci! God bless” Lucero

Purchase this deal and you also get $100 print credit to use toward your final portrait order.
Family, Engagement, Maternity and Boudoir Session:
You get a full hour session with Darci Amundson Photography. Darci’s is known for her beautiful artistic portraits so she is including a gorgeous 12×18 wall portrait with this deal. You have the option to upgrade to a larger size and finish at your personalized viewing and ordering session. Darci also is giving Living Social clients 50% off her digital files through the initial ordering session only. With these files you have the freedom to print them unlimited up to an 8×10 at a lab of your choice.
When can you schedule your portrait session? Sessions are available Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. You can even book your session online here.
What do I wear for my session? When you schedule, Darci will go over the best outfits to wear (or what not to wear), potential locations, and any other little details to have everything go off without a hitch. She will even send her Pinterest clothing boards for inspiration.
Who can be in the portrait session? You, your family, friends, pets, and even automobiles/boats if you are so inclined. For family sessions there is a 5 person/pet max, additional people/pets are $15 each.
Why should I choose Darci Amundson Photography? I strive to go above and beyond your expectations. I have learned from some of the best photographers in the industry and to this day am still learning. I take pride in the continuing education that I do each and every year to keep myself on the cutting edge of this great industry.
My photographic style has also evolved over the years. I am a very “natural” photographer. I suggest poses that will flatter an individual, showing off the best of each person and letting their personality shine through. I have worked with over 200 models so I am comfortable with the high fashion posing and lighting that students love right now. I am very easy going and any nerves you have about getting your portraits taken will leave soon after we start our session together!
The most important reason you should have me as your portrait photographer: I am a professional. I respect my clients. You are all the reason I get to do what I love every single day and I hope to have each new client as a client for life.
I have the respect of my peers and excellent mentors. I use only professional ecologically responsible labs to make sure I am providing the highest quality, professional and environmentally conscience product.
When do I get to see my images? Approximately 1-2 weeks after your session you will have an appointment at my studio at the Southlands Mall in Aurora. Most people find this the most fun as I have a Slideshow and large screen TV that we will view all of your images on to make your decision. I also have the top of the line software that allows me to upload pictures from YOUR home to show what your wall art will look like on your own walls…yeah it’s cool!
How much is this going to cost me in the end? Honestly, this answer varies depending on the client and their needs. But I can tell you that my average sale for a family and senior portrait session is right around $1000. Some clients spend more, some less. And if you are looking at the Living Social promotion, you will get a big discount right from the start.
What are my payment options? I do take most forms of payment. Credit/Debit, cash and check.
I can also accommodate payment plans if needed for orders over $500. I want to make sure that you are able to walk out the door with a great portrait capturing lasting memories at the end of the day.
