Wedding Photography Investment $500-4200

I freakin' love weddings. I love weddings so much because they are a fun celebration of your love and life; plus it's a really cool cultural rite of passage. I love capturing the special moments of your wedding day and creating timeless sentimental portraits for you to treasure for years to come. Each year I love meeting new couples and learning about YOU. What makes your relationship special? What are your goals with photography? I cater my locations, poses, and such to fit a style that will tell YOUR unique story. Cookie-cutter is the opposite of what I offer. My goal is to tell a unique story. My style is candid and documentary inspired. I wait for laughs, glances, action shots, and bursts of emotion and snap away to tell your wedding story. I create posed portrait moments as well to create fun and artistic images of you and your closest friends and family. I know that these photos will be treasured memories for years to come so I work hard to make every wedding day unique in terms of my coverage and way of shooting. I read people, it is my gift. I treat a nonbinary broom different from a neurodivergent bride who doesn't want to look in the camera. Let me tell YOUR story. 

I offer custom packages. I have packages, but with each client I work within your budget to give you the coverage you need. For discount wedding coverage it is an investment of $500 with 30 edits for the first hour + $100 per hour for every additional hour.  All packages come with a full set of unedited proofs + the number of edits you invest in. My largest package is $4200 with 8 hours of coverage, a 2 hour engagement session & 350 edits. Let's chat to build you a package! 

What does the process look like? First, contact me for an initial consultation. We will meet in person or over the phone if you live out of state. In this meeting we will answer all of your questions and get everyone on the same page about budget and what to expect from Oh Snap! Photography wedding day coverage. Then we will accept your $250 or 500 non-refundable deposit, which will be deducted from your package total. Then, if needed, we will book your engagement portraits. Within 3 months of the wedding day we will meet for a final consultation to work out the full schedule and shot list for your wedding day. The remaining balance is due on or before the day of the wedding. I also take payments in installments throughout the year prior. Tell me what works best for you!  Checks can be made to Ailecia Ruscin or Oh Snap! Photography and sent to PO Box 297 Lawrence KS 66044. I accept venmo, paypal, cashapp, and credit cards as well.

Do you offer discount packages? Talk to me about your budget; I am open to being frank about money and expenses. I know that we all work for differing amounts of money and that has nothing to do with your work ethic. I will work with you, regardless of your situation. Payment plans are always an option.
 

In addition to weddings, I love to shoot portraits for many different kinds of clients. My specialties are professional headshots, couple's and engagement portraits, family portraits, and senior & graduation portraits. For family portraits, my goal is to create a quick experience for families with children under 3, and create a fun experience for families with older children. Our goal is to get a couple picture frame perfect shots of everyone smiling and looking at the camera, but then the rest of the session is more candid and lifestyle photography oriented.  I love getting the kids involved in the shoot, letting them express their true personalities. Let me know if you'd like some silly props to help get the kids in the mood for fun!  I also enjoy candid lifestyle photography sessions in people's homes, this is great for families with small children and couples moving into a new home, anyone who would like photojournalistic photos of life at home. These images are more modern and candid with no posing. Lifestyle sessions can also be done at an event that you like to attend, anything from the Kaw Valley Farm Tour to the Hot Air Balloon rallies and lowrider events in KC and Topeka, to the County Fair--I am always excited and interesting in doing more photojournalistic types of coverage of families in their element doing fun things together.  Life is so much more than making kids all smile at the camera in same moment, if this is all you want out of your session, we prefer that you hire a different company. In addition, I do not offer individual newborn sessions, but I will do lifestyle sessions with parents and infants and I will do individual sessions with children 6 months and older. I also do a lot of professional headshots for individuals and businesses in the area. We can use a studio setting or shoot in your office environment. Lifestyle and branding images can also be created for businesses. I require a phone consultation to discuss options with business clients. 

For all of my portrait sessions, clients will have access to a proofing gallery where they can choose their favorite photos for me to edit.  I offer photo retouching services like head swapping, creating a composite image from multiple photos, braces removal, etc. for an extra fee and only at the request of a client. I do light skin smoothing and teeth whitening retouching, but I do not do any extreme photo retouching, except on request and for a fee. For the final product, clients will receive access to all of the unedited proofs, as well as, all of the final edited images (quantity depends on the package). Edited photos will be hosted in a public gallery on my website unless you request they stay password protected; proofs and boudoir or other intimate photos will be kept in a password protected gallery and taken offline anytime the client requests. Print packages can be purchased separately. I REPEAT NONE OF MY PRICING INCLUDES PRINTS, YOU ARE PURCHASING DIGITAL PRODUCTS with printing rights.  

I offer Senior Portrait sessions for LGBTQIA+ and gender non-conforming youth, as well as for heterosexual and cisgender students. I work with students of many different backgrounds. I recommend contacting me to book a consultation so that we can discuss packages, pricing, and give me a chance to meet your student. Together we will plan wardrobe, hair and makeup/grooming, backdrops, props, and styling considerations so that each session is unique to the individual student. I work with many gender non-conforming youth who want to play with gender expression while also working with transgender youth who want to present only a feminine or masculine look in their portraits. We are completely LGBTQIA+ inclusive and work with LGBTQIA+ youth from all over Kansas, Missouri, and the Midwest. I also love working with neurodivergent youth. I understand that every person on this Earth is a unique special snowflake. We respect and celebrate DIFFERENCE!

Lifestyle Studio Portrait or Boudoir Sessions $500-750 + location/studio fee if needed

I love doing lifestyle sessions and boudoir sessions with couples, women, non-binary, trans, and LGBT people over the age of 18 (ID check required). These sessions can be done in your home, in one of the rented studio spaces I have access to, or in an Air BNB or hotel at your expense. My goal is to create a comfortable and body affirming environment that helps you feel at ease as we work together. We'll take fun photos and sexy photos and model-y photos, we'll play dress-up and try out ideas that work and some that won't.  It's a true collaboration, so bring props or outfits that express parts of your identity. I take TONS of photos so that you have maximum options at the proofing stage. I don't use styled sets or themed props, my goal is to feature YOU. You get to see every image from our session and pick the images you want from the proofs for me to edit. Edits include a more extensive retouching than I include with family portrait sessions.  My editing style is natural, but we'll whiten teeth and smooth skin and get rid of blemishes. If you don't want any retouching we can use the pricing from the portrait session menu, which does not include retouching fees.

Feel free to contact me through my contact page to make an appointment or ask questions. We can also have a phone consultation to prepare for the session or just hammer out details on email. NOTE: I do not offer any in-house hair and makeup, you must come camera ready. You'll just need to make your hair and makeup appointments separate from me, but feel free to run some dates by me based on the availability of your HAMU artist.

I am also a fan of wearing natural hair and makeup that you do yourself, the type of look that you like to wear day to day, something that authentically showcases the YOU that you put out to the world daily. We will make beautiful images no matter how you decide to style yourself. Oh Snap! is a body positive company. We want every person to feel comfortable in their own skin and to embrace the curves and lines that we have as authentically beautiful and magical. Our goal is to make photos that make you feel good. You decide on the level of nudity and who gets to see these images. The majority of my boudoir images are not available to the public at the request of clients who made them for themselves or their sweetie's eyes only.

NOTE: My sessions are trans friendly, queer friendly, and open to non-binary folks. I will not coach you into positions, gender roles, or poses that are not authentic to the way that you want to present yourself. 

These sessions are priced based on which portrait package you purchase (see above) plus the cost of renting the studio or hotel or Air BNB. It includes all of the unedited proofs and full printing rights. No prints or albums are included with our boudoir portrait packages, but can be purchased through us or a vendor of your choice.

• extra edits $20 per file

Lawrence Photobooth Rentals $1000

THE OH! SNAP! PHOTOBOOTH! is a portable digital self-serve photobooth that can be set-up in many types of spaces. The booth is a digital alternative to photobooths that print photos on the spot. Instead, guests are urged to take tons and tons of photos that will go online for guests to freely download or buy affordable prints and photo products. The photobooth can be used with a variety of backgrounds, or set-up to showcase a specially designed area of your home or party location. I have many backgrounds to choose from. Optional prop boxes are also available in appropriate venues.  The OH! SNAP! PHOTOBOOTH! has been a local favorite at Lawrence parties since 2000. Unlike my competitors, my goal is to provide clients with the best possible photos of their loved ones enjoying themselves in the self-serve digital photobooth. We edit every image and use a professional camera & lighting to give you high quality photos of you and your loved ones. Email me for a quote. We regularly do sorority parties, wedding receptions, family reunions, school reunions, birthday parties, anniversary parties, office parties, nonprofit organization fundraiser event, children's birthday parties. Each type of event gives us an opportunity to bring out different props and backdrops that fit your theme/interests.

$1000 for 2-4 hours

*If budget is your concern, and your event is within 2 weeks, please contact us and make an offer! If we have a booth and staff available, we'll book last minute at cheaper pricing. Minimum: $400.
