*TAKING A BREAK

I feel like last year kind of threw up into this year and I haven't gotten a break. So, guess what I'm doing? I'm taking a break! Well, it's not really a break because I am going to be taking lots of pictures but I won't be around my computer so that is a break. I will be checking my e-mail periodically to keep in touch so don't hesitate to contact me via e-mail.

*PRICE CHANGE
I am increasing my prices this year for the first time. The new prices are on the website. If you have already booked a session for this year, you will be charged at 2008 rates. If you would like to book an appointment at 2008 rates, contact me before the end of February. These appointments can be booked up to June and include all types of sessions.

*TRAVEL FEE
I plan on doing a lot more traveling up into the city this year. To cover time and gas expenses, there will be a $25 traveling fee included on all sessions outside of Maricopa.

*NO MORE PICTAGE
For a number of reasons, I will no longer be using this service. Current events will expire on February 7th, although, you will still be able to order prints and canvases through me. I will get the new price sheet up when I get back. This will bring print prices down once again.

*NEW ONLINE GALLERIES
You will now be able to view and share your sessions with a password off my website! I tried it today and it looks so good! All ordering will come through me but it is still an option since you will still get the cd with all images included. The galleries will remain up for one month.

*INSIDE/OUT PACKAGE
The maternity/newborn session now has a name! This will continue to be $200 with cds from both sessions and a dvd slideshow.

*FIRST YEAR PACKAGE
I have been offering this for a while now but just now put it on the website. The cost is $250 and includes 4 mini-sessions (3mth, 6mth, 9mth, and 1 yr). You will then receive a dvd slideshow including pictures from each session. This is a great add-on to the Inside/Outside Package.

*BASIC PHOTOGRAPHY WORKSHOP
Many of you have asked me to do a workshop going over the basics of photography. If you are interested in a casual get-together, please e-mail me and I'll get you on my list.

*THANK YOU!!!
I don't think I can thank all my new and loyal customers enough for an excellent 2008! I am looking forward to 2009 being bigger and better! Believe me, there is much in the works! THANKS SO MUCH! *HUGS*

And one for the road...

This is the beautiful Miss A born several days after her parent's "inside" session (which rocked the world and I haven't blogged yet!) She was a dream to photograph as she slept the entire two hours! I left their house with so much love in me!
