To see the rest of the photos and to order prints visit here.
I’m so excited that I’m coming on my first year in business.
It has been an amazing experience!
I learned to think outside the box, to not care what other people are doing, and to take risks for better or for worse.
I have also learned that I can’t only be technical savvy, I have to be business savvy as well. Being a photographer takes time. It takes time away from my husband and kids, it takes time to edit, process, print. To scout, drive to locations, make albums, blog, market, design, and advertise.
There are too many people out there that don’t know the work behind the scenes. I’m here to tell you there is a lot of time spent before and after the portrait session to get you the photos you want.
A lot of time.
I ABSOLUTELY love what I do. ABSOLUTELY.
But I’ve let my love for photography and others get in the way of what matters most and that is time with my family.
That being said, and you being such an understanding you, I am going to be raising my prices and revamping my packages. My wedding packages are going to be AWESOME! Every package is going to come with a wedding album, engagement session, 3 or more months of online proofing, and a custom print or gallery wrap. Then most of my packages include a cd of all the images and bridals. You also will have the chance to purchase event coverage a la carte if you want to make your own custom package or to add onto a package. If you can’t tell I’m super excited about my new packages and everyone getting an album and print. When the day is over the only thing you have left is photos… and your dress… and your new spouse of course!
But you know what I mean.
I’m also so incredibly grateful for all the people who have supported me this year. YOU have been amazing! As much as I would love to photograph everybody for free, because I’m nice like that and I HATE to say no, I just can’t anymore. My husband says so. Hahaha! So friends and family no more free shoots.
Period.
ouch.
