Welcoming, soon....

A little preview of  Kara's beautiful maternity pictures. The mild January weather has certainly been friendly at allowing a perfect setting for outdoor late-season photo sessions!
A sneak peek:



And a glimpse of some of the editing artistry I give to your images!

 Congratulations Brian & Kara!!
Can't wait to meet little L.A.H.!

2012 Session Prices & Changes are LIVE as of Feb. 1st!

Please take a minute and review the changes coming effective February 1st!!

As most of you know, I am currently taking *very select* portrait sessions as I'm in the "UNDER 30 day countdown" until the arrival of our 4th precious bundle of joy! 
*** 
If you are in desperate need of a session that hasn't already been discussed, you may still be able to take advantage of my $50 with CD portrait package that is NO LONGER AVAILABLE as of February 1st!!
***
While many of you enjoy the convenience of receiving the CD of proofs, (and they will still be available to purchase as a digital download or CD), I've come to the conclusion that the convenience just can't overshadow the risk of: A)My reputation reflecting the poor quality of images being printed at local kiosks & retailers; and B)Your portraits being portrayed in anything less than the best professional standards.  

I've adjusted my prices very minimally to include a generous standard print package and a la cart choices that should hopefully please most of you!  In doing this, the time and attention I put in to each and every image from your session will be respectfully upheld in the quality of images through the professional lab I will use to fulfill your print order.
***
I most definitely welcome your feedback; and any questions or concerns you may have!! As always, my customer's satisfaction is the first and most important aspect of my job!

Happy 2012!!!

It's a New Year, and with that many exciting new things are coming!!

Just a Few:

Late January (or early February if my husband gets his way)
 is going to be blessed with the arrival of our 4th baby girl, to be named Macy Jane. I'm sure you'll be seeing a lot of her to come!
 
*****

I have recently acquired a new vendor who I'm SO excited to be showcasing products for.
Mom's to girls of all ages: Check out the work by the talented Designs by Dede!
I'll be using many of her products in the coming year!!

*****

A GINORMOUS change coming is the handling of CD's/Digital Photos. 
I've unfortunately had to witness too many extremely poor quality kiosk prints being made of my photos.  As a photographer who spends ample time perfecting each and every image I make, it hurts me (& my reputation) to see my work not being displayed to the standard it deserves.
I am still looking at the options for keeping my pricing to my clients as reasonable as possible; and I hope this change will be pleasing to you all!

*****
I hope to see all my fabulous clients, faithful friends & new-to-come, throughout the new year!
