Pricing Change

I was looking over my prices today and I am extremely happy to admit that, when compared to many other photographers, my prices are fairly reasonable... especially considering customers get a CD with all the rights to their pictures with every session.

However, there has been a pricing change on the Baby Package. It is now $575.  This package includes 7 sessions: maternity, newborn, 1 month, 3 month, 6 month, and 1 year (party and session).  Since that actually totals $700 when done with a typical 2 hour session, $575 is a great price.  Baby plans, as well as wedding plans, can also be set up on a payment plan.

Check out my baby pictures under Children.  I can't wait to add more of Miss Ryleigh in February!

  • ALL *Illusion* sessions are 25% off (making them $75) and

For *Illusion* sessions, I can even help you order a beautiful book with your photos.

The difference between *Illusion* and trash...

Where I come from (where most of you come from) boudoir is not a word that you hear commonly... actually, never would be more accurate. 

Boudoir photography is certainly not a topic that makes the cut of things to talk about in our small town.  And if you google the word, you typically get racy and trashy links that you'd be ashamed to click on.  *Illusion* photography is not like that. 

If you're like me, though... it's something you've thought about.  On those days when you're wearing sweatpants because nothing fits, I've thought, "Why couldn't I have looked as great as I thought I did yesterday?"  On those days when you're staring in the mirror before getting dressed and you're thinking, "Ugh... look at all of this."  Face it.  As women, we don't love the skin we're in half as much as we ought to. 

Whether you're married or single, twenty or sixty, *Illusion* photography can be a simple reminder to love your skin because you are beautiful. 

When I decided that Shutterproof was going to offer this photography, I decided it was only fair if I had a shoot done for me.  I had always thought about having one done, but around here you can't really find a classy place that does them.  I had my dear friend came over and I became my own guinea pig.  It was thrilling.  And scary.  And incredible.  And terrifying.  And fun.  I was nervous at first about opening myself up for photography, but the result was incredible.  I look at those pictures now and I think, "This is the woman my husband sees when he looks at me.  This is the woman I need to see in myself."   

The thought of doing a photo session is frightening, I know.  Open yourself up to the adventure.  Take a chance to love your body again for simply being an incredible creation.  Lay down your many hats - wife, mother, cook, driver, maid, etc - and simply be a woman. 

God created your body uniquely and perfectly.  Embrace it.  Check out the *Illusion* tab for details on confidentiality and the pricing tab for the financial stuff.  Take a risk and give me a call... you may love your body more than you think.

Busy, Busy Week

On top of trying to finish all of my school work for this semester (I graduate once it's over - YAY), the upcoming week promises to be busy.

My *Illusion* session had to be rescheduled from November 18th, so it's set up for this FRIDAY!  You can't imagine how excited I am.  It's going to be so much fun!

Saturday morning holds a lot of promise with a family Christmas/baby's first Christmas session with a wonderful family!  This will be my first time shooting family photos.

Check back in the next couple of weeks and hopefully, I can give you a sneak peek at the Christmas session!  Perhaps then, my *Illusion* lady will post her review on her session!

Have a fabulous week!

First *Illusion* Session

I must admit - I am SO excited to have my first *Illusion* session set up for November 18th!  Both the client and I are getting things ready - props, ideas, etc.

I can't wait to see the spunk & sass that this lovely lady has within her!  I am incredibly honored that she's allowing me to be a part of such a special moment.

You might think I'm crazy when you read that, but an *Illusion* session really is that special.  A session like this is a woman turning over her flaws, doubts and insecurities.  It's like her handing them to me and saying, "Please give them back in a way that makes me love them again."  We, as women, don't give up things like that very easily.  So, to be able to share a photo shoot like this with a woman is an incredible blessing for me.  Something I feel unworthy of. 

Check back after November 18th & perhaps my model will leave a few reviews on how her session went.
