Changing It Up...Again

Well, I have been lost in my own little world here lately. I have been thinking a lot about what direction I really want my business to take and I honestly think I have it figured out. Honestly the thought of even putting this out there really scares me but it can't be any worse than the crickets I hear now so I might as well spill it!

My heart has always been lead toward weddings. There is just something about that day that really gets my heart racing and I want to do nothing more than capture all of those emotions for you! I am going to step up my marketing game in that department. My ultimate goal is no more than 8 weddings a year. I still need time to be with my family and taking on to many will really hurt me in that department.

Next, I have always wanted to do more themed or stylized shoots. I have always want to shoot fun and whimsical things and now that I have my ideas written out and the things that I will need for them, I think that I am ready to branch out into that genre of photography. Yes those shoots will tend to be a little more expensive, but I look at this as a magical investment into your memories. You will not get this kind of portrait in a chain studio setting. These sessions will require your help and a lot of cooperation to make them perfect and tailored to your families style.

Now, this doesn't mean that I won't be taking on my normal sessions. I will gladly take a newborn, maternity or whatever your session needs might be, so please DO NOT hesitate to ask! I always want to shoot and make any memory for you family amazing. I just need to do a couple of shoots for "me". The stylized sessions are going to be more of a boost for my imagination!

You will also see some big changes in design taking place here shortly. I have finally settled on a design that I like and will hopefully stick with, making my branding and marketing MUCH easier and recognizable!

I also want to say...thanks! For sticking through everything and being such awesome clients!

Big Changes

It’s been a while. Life has literally been a little crazy for us.

So for those of you who don’t know, November was a horrid month for us. It started out with a move that would have been wonderful for us but that fell through. We then had to move in with my aunt while searching for a home and try to keep life normal for the kids. On top of that I had scheduled Christmas minis and then my step dad passed away and his less than wonderful family made life a nightmare for my mom! Then the week of Thanksgiving we got to move into our new home and I will be forever grateful to my grandfather for helping us out with that! It has been an ongoing onslaught of unpacking and repairing things not only in our home but the cottage that is on the property as well.

So with this move comes some big changes. Not only for me and the business but for you, my lovely clients.

Due to the move, my usual haunts are now past that 30 mile mark. Which means for you a small price hike. I am sorry, I really am, but it must be done. On the other hand, the move has opened up several new locations in the Seguin area which makes for cheaper sessions.

Another big change, later in 2012, is the on location gardens at my home as well as a mini studio for those wet, nasty, dreary days when you had a preschedule session and the weather just didn’t cooperate for us!

One more small change, portrait packages will be changing completely over to the point system to ensure that you get the most prints possible as well as exactly what you want. There will also be a few new goodies added to the list as well!

So there is a lot going on in 2012 and I can’t wait!!
