By the way, today makes my 70th post…..Looking forward to #100~!
I’m pleased to announce that I’m offering some new portrait packages. Why? Well, because you asked for it! It’s time to change things up a bit! I’ve been pondering this decision for a couple of months now. Should I or shouldn’t I? Has anyone guessed yet? Photo CD’s and print releases are available in EVERY SINGLE one of my packages. Yes, that means ALL of my portrait sessions…. Newborns, Kids, Maternity, Engagement, Family and Senior Sessions, all of them!
Here’s what brought me to this conclusion. I’m not a STUDIO. I don’t think I will ever become a STUDIO, so why should my clients have studio rules and studio ordering guidelines? I truly love photographing outdoors, the light and the overall freedom makes me happy. In this day in age, no one wants the same old boring thing. They want creativity, they want to choose where they want to be photographed, they want something unique, they want something fresh. I’m all about new locations and I really like when clients have ideas in mind!
We’re now approaching 2010 and we all know that things are transitioning into an even more technologically advanced world. We all love to share our life in photos, whether it be in frames around our house or uploading them to share with family and friends on the Internet. So I’ve decided to move right along with the speed of light photo sharing and needing immediate gratification and just follow along :)
I have had such an amazing time photographing so many portrait sessions this summer while I was on my 2 month wedding photography hiatus. Taking a great number of children, maternity and engagement pictures has brought me so much happiness lately and I really think it would be great to be able to give EVERY SINGLE one of the photos back to my clients.
Here’s how it goes, typically after each one of my 1 hour photo shoots, I end up with about 75-150 edited photos. These photos would then get uploaded to my online viewing gallery. My old package included 24 photos in a mini flip album for $200. Well where’s all the rest the photos you say? Tired of spending an extra $200-$500 after you’ve already paid a sitting fee? Well now they are all yours! If you so choose, ALL photos will now be given back to you with the print release form. You are then able to take the digital files where ever you wish and make as many photos as you would like. You will be able to make birth announcements if you took a Newborn Session, Christmas cards, Party Invites….the possibilities are endless if you purchase the CD! No more pondering over the computer screen trying to pick your favorites, when really you LOVE all of THEM! Right?! I can’t tell you the emails I’ve gotten where the parents and grandparents write me and say they are having the hardest time choosing because they adore all of them. Can I just buy a CD, they ask? I hated writing them back and saying, gallery ordering only. Well now I can tell them something different :) I may take a hit with this one, but its a hit that will hopefully give me more time to do what I love instead printing and mailing…..printing and mailing! I hope its a win/win for both my clients and myself.
My Wedding, Engagement and Bridal packages will stay the same, however all of my portrait session prices will change.

This is a big transition for me, main reason being……… Shoot more, edit more, give YOU more!! I hope this brings a smile to everyone’s face who has been hoping that there would be a photographer out there that wouldn’t make them use an online gallery ordering system anymore! You now have the freedom to make as many prints as you want of your fabulous pictures!
Here’s a collage of some kids shots!
