the Signature Session
Get ready for the most FUN and stress-free family photo experience EVER!
Because my Signature photo sessions are actually FUN... with less posing and more PLAY!And I'm here to help make this a stress-free experience ALL the way through... from the moment you say LET'S DO THIS, till the time you have finished products in your hands or on your walls! (Because, let's face it... you've already got enough on your plate without adding one more thing on your to-do list!)
The SIGNATURE SESSION is my MOST POPULAR session for kids + families.
$299 SESSION FEE includes:
1-2 hour photo session at location(s) of your choice
"Getting to know you" questionnaire + planning/coordination via phone or email
Minimum of 50 final images from which to select
Complimentary WALL ART DESIGN, to "try before you buy" and see EXACTLY what artwork will look like on your OWN walls
In-person Viewing + Ordering Session (to ease the stress of overwhelm/decision paralysis, efficiently help you select the keepsakes you REALLY want, and get those things in your hands ASAP) // Note: for Travel Sessions (outside of Bend, OR), you'll be walked through this Viewing + Ordering process online, and we'll schedule a phone call so I can answer all questions + take your order.
$200 credit towards purchase of a Collection or A La Carte items (See below for pricing)
NOTE: Session Fee does NOT include digital images. They can be purchased individually or as part of a Collection, or simply get ALL DIGITAL IMAGES for $900.
COLLECTIONS
It's my GOAL for you to have the best of BOTH WORLDS...
TANGIBLE PRODUCTS in your hands or on your walls (so that's one less thing on your to-do list),
and DIGITAL IMAGES so that you can create additional products on your own when you DO have time to get creative!
So my Signature Session Collections include BOTH... finished products ready to enjoy immediately AND digital images!

MOUNTED PRINTS
Decorate your home with beautiful fine art prints. Printed on the finest archival paper and mounted on styrene for easy framing and durability (so no accidental wrinkling or folding), these prints will withstand the test of time and are sure to be treasured.
You can even SKIP the framing process altogether by adding a 3M velcro strip to the back of each print to create a modern pop-out wall collage of your very own.
8" x 10" - $75
11" x 14" - $119
16" x 20" - $197
20" x 24" - $269
24" x 30" - $329
additional sizes available.
(Mounted Prints also available as part of Tier 1 Collection... see gallery above)
FINE ART CANVAS
Each archival-quality, brilliantly colored canvas comes ready to hang.
This isn't your ordinary canvas. The company actually holds a patent on the design, so it won't be found elsewhere.
What makes it so unique? The printed canvas is actually wrapped around a solid block (not just an open frame, as most others are)... meaning that the canvas won't easily get holes from being poked by curious fingers, and the canvas won't sag over time.
It's also a LOT more lightweight than other canvases you'll find elsewhere, meaning that there will be less damage to your artwork AND people, should the canvas be knocked from the wall by accident or earthquake.
You can also "try before you buy," by utilizing my FREE wall design services in order to see EXACTLY what the artwork will look like on your own walls.
11" x 14" - $197
16" x 20" - $297
20" x 24" - $387
24" x 30" - $447
additional sizes available
(Canvases also available as part of Tier 2 Collection... see gallery above)
FRAMED PRINTS
Decorate your home with beautiful fine art prints. Mounted on archival-quality lightweight board and professionally framed, these prints are meant to be enjoyed for a lifetime, without worry of the print slipping or buckling over time.
Select from NINE different frames to create the perfect look for YOUR home, and your choice of matted or unmatted prints.

IMAGE BOX (aka the "Deconstructed Album")
Think of the IMAGE BOX as a "deconstructed album." It's great for those who want a collection of images, but aren't quite "album people." The Image Box is incredibly versatile because you can easily frame the prints, display them on easels in your home, or store in the box as a keepsake item. You can even keep a few for yourself and gift the others to family members.
Image Box includes a keepsake box and 15 DOUBLE SIDED fine art prints (with an unlimited number of photos), which means that you get more bang for your buck and can easily switch up your home displays.
Include just one image per print or even a collage of your favorites!
8" x 10" - $949
11" x 14" - $1049
additional print (double-sided) - $69
(Simplified version of IMAGE BOX available in Tier 2 Collection; Full version of IMAGE BOX available in Tier 3 Collection.)

Digital images are delivered via an online image gallery which will be accessible to you for TEN YEARS for extra backup + peace of mind.
Your gallery will also include a Print Release, which makes it super-easy to print your images anywhere + as many times as you'd like, with no sizing restrictions.
Psssst... this is also a GREAT WAY to share images with your family so they can print whatever THEY'D like, without you getting caught up in the middle of it all!

individual image - $99
ALL images - $900

Have questions or READY TO BOOK?
Let's get the conversation started! Click the button below to send an email my way.
Hey there! I'm Michelle... the one behind the camera.
Sooo... why book an experience with ME? Because I'm more than just a photographer.
With my degree in psychology and years spent working in children's group homes + art camps, I've learned to instantly connect with a range of personalities and work with all sorts of moods. I work hard so that you don't have to... creating the most stress-free and FUN experience from start to finish, including session planning, how to get the entire family excited, and even tips on what to DO with your photos AFTER you have them.
Long story short: The camera has been an extension of my hand for most of my life, and I've been running The Suitcase Studio for over 10 years now... providing FUN + stress-free photo experiences with less posing + more PLAY!
And I still use my psychology training and insight on each + every photo shoot as I calm the nerves of parents, maneuver kids out of meltdown mode, and help everyone connect in the most genuine of ways.
I see you the way your loved ones see you; quirks and all. And we celebrate that uniqueness, together. HOW? By creating a FUN photo experience for all involved (cross my heart). Yes, we'll be taking pictures. But by the end of it, I swear you'll forget I have the camera in my hand. So let's PLAY!
Servicing Bend, Oregon + surrounding areas, with destination sessions available in Southern California a few times each year, and nationwide upon request. On my days off, you'll find me wandering the trails with my trusty sidekick (mini wienerdog), chilling at a local brewery, or geeking out to the latest Marvel movie.
Contact me for more info, if you have any questions, or are ready to book your session!
