This past year has been a year of growth, and with a year of growth comes knowledge.  Throughout the past year I have taken classes, aquired certifications and gained a wealth of knowledge.  I have also observed and asked questions, I have listened to your positive feedback and have developed packages and pricing based upon the comments and concerns that I have recieved.

Why the price increase?

With every job comes a yearly review.  A look back on what worked and what did not work.  During this year I have become more skillful in my preofession and gained a lot more knowledge that I believe puts me in a position to value myself and my art more.  I take great care and time perfecting each image that I am working on.  With more knowledge comes greater worth.

Why are you getting rid of digitals?

I have found from personal experience and from feedback that CD's of 15 images tend to stay on peoples counter tops and collect dust.  We (my family and I) have several C-D's from past sessions that are stuffed away in a closet somewhere and at one point I meant to print, but just never got around to it.  I have changed the structure so that whatever prints you choose with your credits you will also get the websized images to share over e-mail and social media.  Now you will get images on your wall, and create lovely artwork for your home that you and your family will cherish.  This does not mean that I will not offer them, it just means that they will not be inluded in hourly sessions and will need to be purchased seperatly.

Are you no longer offering the same sessions?

I am offering everything that I did before, nothing has changed session wise.

Will you be offering payment plans?

Yes I am happy to offer payment plans to help you out.  Photography is a personal investment and with great investment comes saving and planning.  I will adjust contracts based upon the needs of each individual.

So besides a price increase what is new?

Starting in 2015 After each photography session I will be editing and post processing your images.  After about 2-3 weeks I will be contacting you to meet up to look over and discuss your images, session and collection. During that time I will have printed proofs of your collection as well as one to view digitally so that we can design something dynamic for your home, working space or gifts.  Photography is something that is personal, I feel that by sending you a link to download your images I am taking what is so personal out of photography.  I choose my clients just as much as they choose me, This whole business is developed based on realationships.  I cannot form a realationship without forming a connection. So let's look forward to enjoying a cup of coffee and viewing your memories together to create something dynamic and meaningful for you and your loved ones.  After we meet, I will send your images to my lab and you will recieve your home galleries in about 1-2 weeks.

So lets toast to the new year, Let us look forawrd to seeing beautiful artwork on our walls and decorating around our artwork.  Let us enjoy memories instead of hiding them on a CD or our computer.

Thank you all and I look forward to serving each one of you in the future.
