Changes Coming
First off, I want to thank all my family, friends and most of all, my clients for their support as I've worked to really develop this business. I've never felt so excited about something I was creating and with this business, I get to create on many levels- from setting up sessions, to processing the images to building this business. It's been a great ride for me and I'm looking forward to all I will accomplish in the future.
Now for the changes...
Over the next week or two, I plan on unveiling a new website to provide easier access and more information on what a custom photography session with me is like. This has been in the works for a while and I'm excited to say that it's finally going to be a reality.
With the new website, I will be increasing my print prices. I love what I do and I love that I can provide this service to not only clients but also to friends. Unfortunately, if this is going to be a viable business, I need to compete with others who offer these same services. In order to keep my session fee low, it's necessary that I raise my print prices. To help ease this, I've put together packages that provide a sampling of print sizes at a discounted price.
Print Prices a la carte
5x7 - $10.00
8x10 - $20.00
11x14- $30.00
wallets- $10.00 per sheet(4 print per sheet)
Luster finish on all prints- the brilliance of a glossy finish with the fingerprint resistance of a matte finish.
Digital CD- $100.00 (25 retouched digital files, including B&W, with permission to print up to size 8x10 prints)
There are also other products available for purchase, including ready-to-hang prints, wrapped canvas prints and photo cards with envelopes as well as coffee table and memory books. My goal is create one of a kind works of art to be displayed for years to come and I'm willing to provide any products that you may be interested.
Packages-
Package A - $50
2- 8x10
2- 5x7
2- sheets of wallets (1 pose per sheet)
Package B - $95
1- 11x14
2- 8x10
4- 5x7
3- sheets of wallets(1 pose per sheet)
add on the digital CD for an additional $50
Package C - $200
1- 16x20 mounted, ready-to-hang print
4- 8x10
4- 5x7
4- sheets of wallets (1 pose per sheet)
add on the digital CD for an additional $20
***tax is not included***
In addition to the packages, I'm starting an incentive program. Refer 3 friends who book sessions with me during the next year and receive a $50 print credit towards your next photo session. I also plan on doing contests, give-a-ways and specials on a regular basis so be checking the blog and my facebook fan page to be up to date with what's going on and ways to save.
Thank you again for your continued support! Without you all, none of this would be possible!

Another Newborn!
I've been very blessed this year with not one but two brand new babies to photograph. This little sweet pea came into the world right before the massive February snowstorm. This provided some really challenges to being able to take pictures (I didn't even leave the house for a week because of all the snow). Finally, the snow ended, the roads were cleared and I was able to make my way to meet little Miss K. She was an absolute angel. Momma and Poppa were proud and big brother did so well tolerating all the attention that his baby sister was getting. It was a fun afternoon and I'm so glad I was able to capture these precious moments for this growing family.
I had to go back and add this one. I've been trying to get a cute baby feet picture for a while and I'm so excited at how this one turned out. I just love how the toes are stretching and Mama is gently holding her. Yay for baby toes!

Catching Up Again
Wow! What a start to the year! Sessions with 1 yr olds and babies and I'm thoroughly enjoying myself! I need to update this site with some new pictures!
First, I went up to the Erie area to take some pictures of my cousin's little girl. Miss G turned 1 a couple of weeks ago and she has got to be one of the happiest little ones I have ever seen. She was all smiles and when she gets really excited, she wiggles her feet back and forth. Grandma (my aunt) likes to call her Happy Feet.
We had a fun time catching up and getting some great shots of this beautiful little girl. I can't wait 'til the snow melts and I can get some warm weather pictures of her.

and sure enough when I checked the link, there was my photo. I've only ever received this recognition once before, so needless to say, I was quite thrilled yesterday!
My photo is titled, The Team. I took it back in October while enjoying the Ft. Ligonier Day Parade. The horses were pulling a heavy wagon and just looked so beautiful with the gray sky as a backdrop. I'm thrilled to have someone else recognize this photo!
Here's the link...
