New for 2010

Ok, so I'm a little late with my resolutions!  But, it couldn't have come at a better time. After going to a photography conference in Nashville, TN, I have decided to make some changes in my business.  These changes will be better for you and me.  Making my life a little easier since I still work full time as an x-ray tech.  (My husband just doesn't understand that I should be a stay at home wife, lol.)

I will no longer be offering packages of portrait sessions.  There will be just one.  It is $75 and includes 20 proofs in a spiral bound proof book and in an online gallery.  This allows me to get your proofs to you quicker, woohoo!  It also allows me to give you the best portraits of you and  your family.  

With the portrait sessions, especially babies, children, and seniors, I will be offering custom designed albums.  They are still in the creating phase, so I will elaborate on these more later, but let me tell you, they are AWESOME!!  I am currently working on a sample album and will have the pricing on these soon.  

For WEDDINGS!  I am so excited to make changes to the wedding side of my business.  I am currently only offering one wedding package.  For $700, you will receive 8-10 hours of coverage including getting ready time, bridal party and family portraits, ceremony, and reception.  

Within 1-2 weeks, your proofs will be posted in an online gallery on my website.  You will also be receiving a press-printed proof album of your images.  This is a hard covered book of the images of your wedding.  The images are printed on the actual pages with about 6 images per page.  

An engagement session is also included in my wedding packages.  We will choose a location that reflects the style and relationship of the bride and groom.  With the engagement session your proofs will be posted online and a proof book can be purchased separately for $45.  "The Guest Book"  is an additional item the bride and groom can purchase and includes images from their portrait session in a hard covered book.  The images are placed one per page and blank space is left around the photo.  This allows guests to leave a message for the bride and groom instead of simply writing their name.  

Whew.... almost finished!  I just want to give brides all the info they need!  

If the bride and groom wishes, I will create a custom wedding album that includes many of the pictures from the wedding.  It probably won't include every picture, but more of the "emotional" ones.  I am also still working on this as well, so stay with me and keep checking on that! 

Anyway,  thats the new news in my life!  I am pretty much engulfed in photography and am constantly educating myself so that I can be the best photographer possible. Thank you for all of my readers and customers!  I love you all and couldn't be the photographer I am today without you!
