Great savings!!!

If you haven't already been over to my investments page my prices will be changing at the end of this month. As of March 1st my prices will be going up, this is to reflect my acknowledgement that editing takes a bit longer than I had originally figured on, as well as the additional investments I am making in software, props, and equipment. The prices will go up again in September. So I bet your wondering what I meant by "Great Savings!!!" huh. Think of my current prices sort of like forever stamps, if you purchase the package now you lock in that price. So say for example you know you will be wanting a mini session for Easter, and a Mother daughter session for Mothers day, and then a first day of school mini, right now they are just $45, you pay the sitting fee of $20 to reserve the session and the remainder on the day of the session. So you've got 3 sessions you are automatically saving $20 each on...your 'down payment' to reserve your sessions is $60.00 up front and then $25.00 on the day of the sessions, versus $45.00 on the day of the sessions with my new pricing of $65.00 for a mini...Did that make sense? Basically, using the mini as my example, the price is going from $45.00 to $65.00 but if you pay the reserve sitting fee before the end of the day on February 29th you lock in at $45.00. You can do this for a max of 6 sessions. The mini sessions are not the only ones to be re-priced so take a look at the investments page if you have been thinking of setting up a session with me!

Sneak Peak from my Infant session with the Macks!!!

Every baby has a unique story of love, and baby Melody-Rion is no exception to this! Only 7 days new and cared for by so many. She is proof that true love exists and it's not always a cookie cutter story book. Here are a few sneak peaks of this sweet little girl and her family!

Branding with Facebook

I keep hearing that facebook will soon be requiring EVERYONE to use timeline. I guess it's not that bad, but like everything else (did you see the new picture viewer that went live yesterday?) it takes some getting used to. I got a little ahead and made my 'cover' picture yesterday!I did have to tweak it a little bit because of the 'avatar' picture that get's nested on top to the left of the cover though. The first picture is my original and the second is my tweaked version.

I'm going to offer timeline pictures as an a la carte item for clients I think because I know how much they love to show the world their new pictures!

Branding

Branding is very important when you use social media to advertise....so I spent the last couple hours (yeah I know) creating two new items. Actually I created more than two but these are the ones I was happiest with. What do you think?

Props, props, props! Now I need babies!

I've really fallen in love with infants, maybe it's because I have a bit of ticking time bomb syndrome (I want a baby of my own, keep your fingers crossed we're trying!). Don't get me wrong, I LOVE taking pictures, period, of anyone and anything! But babies,mmm that soft smooth skin, that fresh from heaven scent, sweet smiles in their sleep....oooh yeah I got it bad!

So, let me show you some of the things I have picked up lately! Baskets, bins, boxes, blankets (so many B's), but they are all empty because I have not had any babies to photograph yet. Hopefully after seeing some of these great props you will think to tell all your friends about me and I will be wildly busy and up to my ears in sweet babies (and maybe some of their magic will rub off on me...ya think?)

I've also picked up some really cute items from LaRachelle Designs - she is Fab-U-lous! If you are looking for a gift for a newborn or are a fellow photog check her out. She has an etsy shop and also can be found on facebook! Below are some pictures of my newest items for her, these are not my pictures though - I need a baby model!!!
