Beautiful Brynlee

In the past week or so, I wrote a post on my Facebook page that I was looking for a newborn baby girl to take pictures of. I had recently received some props I had purchased and I wanted to see them in action! So on Saturday I got a comment on that status from Kristin saying she was interested! I couldn't of been more excited! I was hoping to do a session soon and when she said that the next day (Sunday) wouldn't be to soon I was ecstatic! I made a quick (ahem...4 hour) run to the store to get a few last minute props and backdrops for the session and by the time I was done shopping, and my cart full of new items for the session, (and my head full of ideas as well!) the excitement just kept building.

On Sunday, I arrived at the proud parents' beautiful home around 10:00AM for the appointment and instantly upon meeting Kristin I new the session would be great! She was so welcoming and friendly and it seemed as though we could be old friends. After I was all set up and ready to go we began placing the gorgeous Brynlee into the different poses and on the different backgrounds and she was soooo good! For the entire session (over 2 hours) she slept almost the entire time! She was such an amazing baby to work with! Her brother and sisters were equally good as well! They all were such great listeners and their warm smiles were always ready for me to capture. That day was also the day Brynlee turned 1 week old, so the timing was perfect! I left their house knowing that it was going to be difficult picking the best ones to edit because just seeing them SOOC (Straight Out Of Camera) they already looked amazing! This session was just so wonderful and I am one blessed photographer to have been able to capture those precious moments for this family! Here are a few favorites from my session!

Ideas! Ideas! Ideas!

     Happy Labor Day! It has been a nice long weekend with the family relaxing, and has given me lots of time to think about all the ideas I've been having for my business!

     On Saturday, November 2nd, I will be a part of Bryan Middle School's second annual Craft Fair. Last year I went solely for my crochet business Tie Up Loose Ends, but this year I wanted to try to incorporate my photography into it in some way. So, I decided I wanted to try to do mini sessions during the craft fair! I'm working on a way to set up a nice Christmas background that would be perfect for taking your Christmas card pictures. The sessions would be 15-20 minutes long and I would do a quick professional edit of 5 different images you can choose from and from there you can order your customized Christmas cards directly from me! The sessions would be $50 and the customized Christmas cards would be $20 for 10, $35 for 20, $50 for 30 and $70 for 40. I can't wait to get all the details worked out for this event and will keep you updated the more I get things figured out! 

     The other idea that I have that I've been working on getting all the details figured out for is offering sessions called First 48 Sessions. These sessions would be taken at the hospital during the first 48 hours after your baby's birth and document those precious first moments with the new addition to your family.  The session would be 30-45 minutes and include 1-11x14, 1-8x10 and 2-sets of 4 wallets of your favorite poses and would be only $100! Also if you book your newborn session with me as well as the First 48 Session you will get a $50 print credit for your newborn session pictures! I'm still in the beginning stages of this type of session, but if I have any interest I will definitely do a discount off the first session booked! 

     Well bedtime has quickly approached here at my house and it's time to get my three little ones ready for bed. Thanks so much for letting me share my ideas with you! If you have any questions or comments for me, I'd love to hear from you! :)
