Congratulations Mr. & Mrs. McBain!

When I first book a wedding with clients it seems like forever before we do the engagement session and then it takes so long to get to the actual wedding.  But then all of a sudden I'm in a room with giggling girls and hairspray going everywhere.  We're all laughing and it is so relaxing.  I act as a bystander and just capture what I see.  I love this part of journalistic photography. It allows me to capture what I see and not just a staged bride with her bridesmaids.  That part is good too, but you just don't get that pure emotion.  

Then the real fun begins.  We start to notice we're running out of time and we start rushing around.  Still laughing, we pick it up and get the show going.  

I loved photographing Amber and Jacob at their Alley Springs wedding.  They were so much fun and their families just took me in as a part of their own.  I hope you can see what kind of a day I was having through my photography.  Thank you Amber and Jacob!  I had a blast!

Kelly & Mike

Kelly and Mike are getting married in October this year.  I can't wait to photograph their wedding.  I used to work with Kelly and she's still so much fun!  She's so energetic and funny!  I don't know Mike too well, but he seems calm and thoughtful.  The perfect match for Kelly.  I loved working with you both and can't wait till October!

You’ve planned your wedding for months, some even years.  You’ve definitely dreamed about it your entire life.  You already have the groom, and now it’s time to choose a photographer.  Your wedding photographer is an investment.  No matter what your budget, your photos are what is left of your wedding at the end of your wedding day.  Sure, you will probably hold on to your wedding dress for a lifetime.  (Mine is still in the closet!)  Your wedding happens so quickly and you will want to cherish those moments with the only thing left, your photographs.
Wedding Package begins at $700.  Please contact me with your wedding details for an accurate quote.
Includes:
~Engagement Session 20-Online Proofs Only, proof book available for $45.
Option to purchase Guest Book Album.  Excellent for replacing standard guest signing book.  Allows guests to write a

I would love to design a wedding album to document your special day that reflects your style.  We will work together to

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!

Barb & Bobby

This weekend, I spend my Saturday at a little chapel just past Salem with Barb & Bobby. When I made it to the chapel, it was raining, but by the time the ladies made it, it had cleared up and ending up being an amazing day! So here is a little preview for you all! When I finish editing them all, you can view them at Sugar Maple Photo
