What photography means to me: It means capturing the moments in life that sometimes get taken for granted . It means capturing that little laugh on a grumpy day. It means catching that last bit if sun before it goes down. It means clicking the shutter button and realizing that you just got an amazing shot that my client is going to treasure it  forever. You know the one that they will show to their grandchildren? I try to make my clients as relaxed as possible to get the most candid moments of their lives. None of this “okay say cheese everyone”. Not that there is something wrong with it, it’s just that sometimes that’s not how you get the “non cheese” smile! Life is so precious, in fact back here a couple of months ago I have a dear friend who was doing a session for a family and the grandfather passed away while she was doing their session. She caught the very last moments of his life and the very last moments that he will ever share with his family. Live is to precious to just watch it all slip away! Now of course this was a very rare situation and I don’t write this post because I think that you might die tomorrow. But your kids are only young once, that newborn is only little for a few weeks. Don’t wait, and if it’s not with me, then do it with someone else! I promise you won’t regret it.

With all of this being said, and yes I know I have said A LOT! And I don’t want to sound like I’m being pushy or trying to give anyone a guilt trip because that is not the meaning of this post at all. The meaning of this post is to get my clients to understand the real value of a photograph. And all the hard work that goes into it. I know it’s not a necessity and that is why a lot of people put it on the back burner. Or wait until a certain time of yr. I also what to let my clients know that I take what I do very seriously and that I’m just not the average girl down the street who owns a nice camera. I put my everything into this and everything into making the moment special for you!

Over the next couple of weeks I will be re-vamping and working on my pricing and trying to make things a little easier for everyone. I am going to make everything as easiest as possible, and I know that I can’t please everyone, but I want everyone to have a wonderful experience. So please bare with me while I make a few changes. My actual pricing won’t change much at all mainly just my packaging and what is listed in them. However, the one thing that will change is my session fee. As of  November 1st my session fee will go from $75 to $125. If  you book and pay for your session BEFORE October 31st, then you will still be able to use my old sitting fee of $ 75. Now that doesn’t mean your session has to be held before November 1st it just has to be paid for by then. And for those of you who are in the middle of scheduling or have sent out your deposit, don’t worry because nothing will change. Everything that I have told you or given you will stay the same!
