Black Friday Offer

Can I just tell you what an awesome year 2016 was? I loved on some sweet tiny babies, I giggled with children in the sun this spring and explored making memories while photographing everything this fall. This time last year I had no clue that we were going to sell our “forever house” and move in town during the summer craziness of my husbands hvac business. But I am glad we did. Everything has changed and this year I am preparing for 2017 with a much simpler business plan in mind. If you had a session with me you likely know that I am a little crazy but always remain professional and consistent with the goal of providing images you didn’t know you needed. I made many new friends this year. There were fresh and familiar faces alike… faces I hope to capture next year. There will be more change and exciting things in the works as I hope to grow and stretch every single year.

I have learned that my job is about dedicating myself as a whole to the people I get to photograph. Photographs are so much more than pretty images – but tangible proof of your legacy. Thank you again for sticking with me and enjoying the ride.
So what does that all mean? It means I have some very special packages only being offered for this holiday promotion including something new this coming year. Packages that will be priced at a VERY special price just for this Holiday season before I begin booking full 2017 rates. Don’t wait long. These packages are a first come/first serve deal due to the discounted nature I am only offering 10 and once those are snatched up the offer is done. As always I will be offering sessions to Families, Couples, Lifestyle Family, Lifestyle Newborn AND maternity. If you are trying to think of the PERFECT Holiday gift for a special family you know THIS IS IT!!!

Watch this blog Friday morning... you do not want to miss this! :D

Somebody is getting a sister

Mommy and Daddy drove down to have their photos taken this weekend and the weather was perfect! Lots of wonderful light in the country. 29 days and Princess Parker will be here but her big brother isn't too sure about it.

I love my clients! Next thing I know we become friends and even though it is my job to capture memories and milestones I sure love watching these little ones grow.

Why I can't answer the question "What do you charge?"

WHAT DO YOU CHARGE? I get asked this question almost daily.  I can't answer it.  Honestly, I can't.  I need more information.  I mean I'm not crazy, I realize you want to know how much you can expect to spend but the truth is, YOU determine how much you spend.  I can't do that for you.  As a full-service photographer, I offer albums, framed wall portraits, canvas gallery wraps, folio boxes with matted prints, large prints & fine-art prints as well as digital collections! You name it, chances are we sell it.

Think of my business like you would any other retail establishment. Would you call a furniture store and say "What are your prices?" What would you expect the answer to be?  THIS is why I can't answer that question.  There are so many different options! 
I decided long ago, when I opened the studio, I would not take a photography job with no discussion with my clients, shoot it and then just hand out a disk.  Why? Because (for me) I feel like it's a HUGE disservice to my clients.  My mom has photos in boxes at her house of all of the craziness our family did when I was a kid, my grandma has shoe boxes full of memories and like 500 of the same picture. I just couldn't throw them away. Even after giving grandmas, moms, aunts and uncles, pictures I still had 300!

 I look back at that and wish I had had the experience of a custom portrait session; that someone would have sat down with me and explained this ... "These are YOUR children.  These images are for YOU to enjoy.  You don't need 5 8x10's and 50 wallets of the same picture.  You need 1 or 2 beautiful portraits to commemorate this time in their lives.  A piece that you can look back on, years down the road and be reminded of this age." For this very reason, I've chosen to treat my business as a retail establishment.  This means that I sell products, as well as service.  I don't want you leaving with a disk that you put in a drawer and never do anything with.

Before you even decide to hire me as a photographer, I invite you to a complimentary consultation.  This is when we discuss together, what YOU want out of your portrait session.  We discuss the different products and what they cost individually. It's about more than JUST having pictures taken.  It's about sitting down with me and discussing what type portraits you want and designing a wall gallery for your home.  It's about saying "I don't have much wall space, what else can we do?".  It's about YOU leaving with something tangible in your hands.  Even if that "something" is a digital collection, you will still walk out with a product we have created together and one that YOU have decided is best for you.  
And then, 10 years from now, you can glance up at that space on the wall and you will remember "That was right before she lost her first tooth".  You'll remember, "He had the funniest crawl! It was like a crab walk!". THAT is what I sell.  Reminders of moments, only you can decide how you want to be reminded.  

Please check out the website www.photosbypaparazzi.com or give me a call if you want to set up a time to chat.

Hello Spring.

Trying to stay caught up with the new way of doing things around here is an adjustment but I am getting better... I know it seems like I dont post online as much but that is because it is so much fun waiting for the client to see the proofs in person. The emotion and experience is just perfect. I truly love creating art for each of you but the reaction of seeing your images at the ordering session... THAT is my new love. Posting online and getting tons of "likes" is nice too but the emotion from the viewing session is priceless. I just wanted to thank all of you for loving what I do.

Spring is here, kind of... I mean it was 80 and windy yesterday and today is calling for snow but spring break is over. My kids are back to the grind of school and sports... so its springish :) I have a few dates available on my calendar if you want to book a session before June 1st please let me know asap. Remember when you hire me to capture your memories it is SOOOO much more than just taking pictures.

Hope you have a wonderful Easter!

Hello.

Hello from the other side. LOL no but really... it seems like I have been gone forever. Doing whatever it is that I do everyday and I just wanted to stop in and say HELLO! Things are changing (as you all know because I keep posting about that) but not scary changes... just awesome changes.

I don't want anyone to think that the NO DIGITAL IMAGES is to make anyone angry or be a jerk and honestly I have had several people ask "what is that all about??" we have talked and I have listened. I know that everyone enjoys sharing images online. ME TOO!! I am also guilty of not printed the images I take. This makes me sad and I do not want that to happen to you after you receive the images from your photo session on a disc and then just let it sit there waiting to print... when you have the time.

Well let me say this... I have not completely ruled out selling my digital images. They are still an option and I appreciate everyone who gave an honest reason why they were important to them. BUT I do feel that the products I am offering this year will blow your socks off!

Can not wait to get to know you, shoot beautiful images of your family, and make artwork from your session. I hope you are having a wonderful day. Carry on. Until next time... see ya!
