Investment
Investing in the services of Maxwell & Pine goes beyond capturing moments – it's about making photography accessible and inclusive for everyone. Recognizing that financial considerations should not be a barrier to preserving the beauty of your unique birthing experience, I am committed to offering a range of payment prices and options. Whether you choose to use our convenient payment plans, sliding-scale pricing, or opt for a registry payment system, allowing loved ones to contribute, my aim is to ensure that every family, regardless of financial circumstances, can access the profound storytelling offered by Maxwell & Pine.
In line with my commitment to inclusivity, there is an automatic discount applied to all BIPOC and LGBTQ2S families for any birth photography package. This discount is a reflection of my dedication to fostering a space where diverse narratives are not only acknowledged but celebrated, as well as acknowledging the continual marginalization that takes place against these communities. Maxwell & Pine is not just a service; it's a commitment to making the invaluable art of photography accessible and representative of the beautifully diverse tapestry of human experiences.

Where are you based and do you travel?
I'm based in Midlothian, VA and yes I love to travel! (My Sagittarius Sun thrives with adventure!) For birth sessions, I stay within a 45-mile radius. For all other sessions, I'm open to traveling around the state and surrounding states. If your location is farther than 60 miles away, there is a travel fee. The travel fee is factored by the individual situation.
When will we get our photos?
You will receive an online gallery link for a sneak peek within 3 days. Within 3-4 weeks, your entire gallery will be uploaded (sometimes less depending on the season I photograph your story). You can download all the photos from the gallery but also share them, choose your favorites, and also order prints!
How many pictures will we receive?
The amount of pictures received depends on the session. For birth sessions, clients can expect between 100-300 images. For all other sessions, a full gallery ranges between 40-80 images. Mini galleries include less than 20 images.
