Senior Portraits: Questions answered

So it seems some people are having a hard time coordinating their friends for a mini-shoot, but you still want to try to figure out how to make the deal work.

As it happens, I have shoots here and there over the next couple of weeks. If you are willing to meet up on a day I am already shooting, at the location I am already shooting, I will give you mini-shoot pricing.

So, if you are Alli, Sarah and Elle:

Alli can meet me after I shoot with the (Smith) family.

Sarah, you can meet me when I finish corporate shots for another group.

And Elle, you can have your portraits just before I shoot with the (Jones) family.

Then, we'll tack your group shot onto my single senior portrait shoot with Elizabeth.

Make sense? If you can work with me, I can work with you.

Life is hard, but this? This we can figure out :)

Email or call me, and we'll piece it together. But hurry! The earlier we schedule, the easier it is to pull this off!

Thanks! Let's have fun!

**If you simply want to book a Friend Shoot, it's $150 and you each get a CD. We'll book 1.5 hours and can go to 2-3 locations depending on distance. You may change clothes as many times as you'd like within that time frame. That's not something I fuss about. It's your time block, and you may use it as you like.

2 Fun Girls!

I've been editing these photos for about a week, and finalizing the CD this morning. I have to say, staring at these little faces for the last week has been a lot of fun. Almost as fun as chasing them around and laughing with them at the beach!

(P.S. Sorry for the blog-neglect. It's been a busy end of summer, to say the least! I hope everyone is enjoying the arrival of the pumpkin latte. Sometimes we need to find fun things to focus on in the wake of summer, huh? :)

and again...margins broken. sorry for the loss of the right side. BIG GIANT SIGH.

Mini-Session Shoot this Thursday!!!

So, I'm toying with a last minute mini-session shoot this Thursday. That means I book at least 3 back-t0-back shoots that last 20-25 minutes rather than 60-90 minutes. This is an economical portrait shoot--- for that 1 portrait that you need. We'll likely get good 10 shots, but are gaming for that 1 that you need to send off to Grandma or post with a birthday picture. Or a blog photo update. Or something to turn into wallets. Or a nice, large cut-out for your lawn. (Kidding.)

Bradford Beach.

This Thursday.

AFter 10:30am.

Contact me if you're interested.

$35/ child, or

$25 if you are a "facebook fan".

Proofs ready in 10-14 days due to a busy week this week and next. Likely able to get you one proof via internet rather quickly.

*Other mini-sessions to come for family Christmas cards.

Little Girl, Big Bridge

I had fun with this one.

(Just pretend the blogger margins aren't knocking off the right side of the composition.)

Oh, and...

My dad took these this weekend while visiting us. He almost didn't take his camera out on the beach, but I coaxed him to. I like dueling cameras. Turns out? I got caught. And you know what? Pictures with me and my daughter? I couldn't love them more. My daughter & me as shot by my Dad: perfect. I think I will treasure these for a long time. A long, long time.

Sorry I've been away...

Melissa & David.

And when I get these margins fixed, I'm posting my favorites!

Melissa and David were so fun that we shot for um, a lot of hours (sorry, honey!), and I took 798 shots. Not normal. But it was fun.

I've been using my facebook page more than anything lately, but hope to get back here once I get some time to fix these here margins :)

I'm almost entirely booked for August, so please let me know if you want to squeez something in. I am hoping to pull off a Christmas Card shoot (did you shutter at the mentioning? I know!), and if I can, a mini-session at Bradford Beach.

Apple-picking mini session in September and Pumpkin picking mini-sessions in October. And maybe one more Christmas Card mini-session. Otherwise, book up. I love what I do, and consider it a privilege to call it a job!

BTW, I'll likely run a facebook special for September bookings for all fans on facebook. Just a heads up; if you're a fan, you'll get a discount. Just keeping you in the loopity loop.

Facebook

We're now on facebook! Click here to become a fan.

(No, it's not at all weird creating an account for yourself where people can become fans... of yourself. No, not weird at all...:)

Amy & Josh

One of the reasons I am itching to get this blog re-formatted is so I can post this shoot. We were abandoned by the sun, but we managed to get some great shots anyway. Well, and it helps when you've got a great laugh-er like Amy is :)

blog format change...

one day very soon i will have a new layout here so i can post large pictures like I can on my family blog... so much trouble with the html... you'd almost think I didn't get a degree in this stuff!!! (or, it preceded the blogosphere...something :)

Engaged!

as soon as this news goes public, i get to post a very fun little series...

Mother's Day 2009

This is from my mother's day shoot with, um, myself.

hahahaha! 

so, props to my husband for getting us almost to my feet.

(he's very cute how he works so hard to get the shots i want. well, he's very cute, period.)

and hey, when i shoot you, i'll even get your feet. bo-nus!

:)

Strawberry Picking Mini-Sessions Coming!!!

Planning a Strawberry Picking Trip soon...likely to Barthell's. 

Stay tuned... 

Also, web site changing very SOON---bigger pics and new format!!!

Summer Beach Mini-Sessions...

...are on their way. Contact me if you have a group of friends for a series of Mini-Sessions (30-45 minutes). Mini-sessions are $100 if you line up 3 groups of people, including yourselves. CD of 20-25 proofs/ editing included with purchase.

Another way to schedule a mini-session is as a large family photo, and then subsets of the larger family have mini-sessions. For example: a 3-Generation shot, and then shots of individual families. (A "cousins shot" would be included in a 3-Generation/ large family shoot.)
