Helping the Community

Wow! Catherine and I are so excited! Rockland's Maison de la Famille has approached us to collaborate with them on a special project for National Child's Day!
On Nov. 21st, we will be setting up at the center, where 25 families will receive a free photo shoot of their sweet angels, and get a print, too!
We feel proud and thankful to be given this opportunity. Both Catherine and I have taken our own children to the family center, so this is very special! To be able to give back to the community is truly something we both hold dear to our hearts.
We are looking forward to working with all those kiddies!

Summer Mini's

Free Portrait Sessions

Thought I was offering one? Sorry no.  Just discussing the value of one.

Let's see - what do you get?

• A professional photographer taking your picture
• Usually a Facebook edition, or a 5x7 print or maybe even an 8x10

What do I get:

• Images that I can use for specific promotions or to refresh my portfolio (but only for a limited time as it has to stay fresh)

What does it "cost" you?

• Maybe an hour of your time for the session
• Another hour for the reveal
• Some time spent communicating with me to figure out what you are to bring
• If I've missed something please let me know.

What does it "cost" me?

• A few days of designing the promo
• A few days for designing the set
• Time spent planning the session
• All the time I spend communicating with each person that inquires the details of the offer
• The time I spend, after confirming participation, discussing what to wear with each person
• Time spent designing documents to help them figure out what to bring/wear
• An hour at least pre-shoot to set up
• Refreshments that I usually provide
• My shooting time
• My time spent editing the images (8 hours or more)
• My time during the reveal to help you choose which you like the most or helping you figure out what you want to order.
• Preparing the files for your order
• Packaging and providing care instructions for your products.
• On top of all this you have the usual costs of running a business
• rent
• utilities
• internet / phone
• education
• business license
• website fee's
• insurance
• education
• equipment
• did I mention education
• advertising costs
• memberships
• cost of goods sold (COGS) - or in this case possibly given

Now with that laid out there, does it make sense for me to jeopardize my name and my career and my business by using your images in a derogatory manner? Do you think I'm going to choose poor pictures to use in my advertising after all the work I've done to acquire them?

Oh and by the way, all that I do above is done for every client that I have. Now have a look at what I do and what I charge and what I create for you. 

ok rant over.

Family Fall Sessions

I've been forgetting to post these for a while now, but I'm finally getting around to it!

Some wonderful images from a fantastic family's fall session with me!

Fantastic Fall Family Fun Session

November 11th and the Holidays

I know some people may have the opinion that anything holiday related prior to November 11 is disrespectful.  As a military wife I can understand that opinion completely. However, for custom portraits that you hope to send out to loved ones as your holiday card, getting a head start is essential! 

What if you all of a sudden can't make your session time? What if at your session, your child decides to have a bad day so you need to reschedule? Time is still needed for you to see your completed images, pick the ones you want and the design, then wait for them to arrive from the printer - let's say an additional 4 weeks.

If you book and get in today, you will receive your cards during the first week of December. Now you have to stuff the envelopes and mail them out. 

Even with everything being smooth sailing, it's a tight schedule!

In the end, we at least will be closed on November 11th.  It is one day that I have always insisted that I have off.  I attend a ceremony each year - usually the one where my husband is on parade. I hope this year to see some of you, my wonderful clients and friends there with us.
