2008 price changes

Just want everyone to be aware that my prices will change on Feb. 1, 2008. If you have not ordered prints from 2007, now is the time to do so. After Feb 1, the new price structure is in place regardless of when you had your pictures taken.

Also, due to the growth of the studio...Yeah!!...I can no longer keep images past 90days once you have placed your order. Only the negative of the picture ordered will be kept on file for 90 days. All other negatives will be purged.

Another big change will be in how long images are kept after a session. If you have not order after 30 days from viewing your images online, I have to assume that you will not be ordering and the images will be purged. This is to save space and keep my system current.

Another biggie is viewing the previews. As of Jan 1, 2008, all sessions will be veiwed online. Paper previews will be available, but you must order a preview booklet at your session. There is a 3 week turn around for preveiw booklets. If you do not order at that time, you have the option of ordering a session album with your print order. There is a big difference between preview books and session albums. A preview book is 4x5 spiral bound, watermarked and contains the studio information. The previews are straight from the camera. It is yours to keep once you purchase it at your session. A session album contains your favorite prints from the session or all of them and will be available in differeant formats and sizes. These are the high quality images you will recieve from your finished prints. Session albums are perfect gifts and coffee table albums.

All the studio policies will be available online in my main site as well as the senior site and future wedding site. Please watch for these as they will include policies on print discounts also.

I am pleased to offer creative high quality portaits to my customers and want to make your session and relationship with the studio as pleasent and comfortable as possible. Hopefully my new policy page will help with that.

Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas! I look forward to hearing from you in 2008!!

10 year wedding anniversary


Just wanted to share that today is my ten year wedding anniversary. Not only is today a special anniversary (although all anniversaries are special) mine is especially so. I met my husband 13 years ago. At that time I was widowed with a 3 year old son. I was putting myself through photography school and very self sufficient. Those years of being on my own made me a stronger person. I don't play on the tragedy that effected my life, it did make me who I am today. I am forever grateful for my son from my first marriage. I am also very blessed with the life I now have and the 3 beautiful daughters I have. My husband is a wonderful man and my life is very full and blessed. So, with the firm belief God has total control and everthing happens for a reason, I know I am truly blessed on my 10th anniversary.
