I wish for you...

"There are two ways of spreading light: To be the candle, or the mirror that reflects it." ~Edith Wharton



Dear Friend,

I am not your run-of-the-mill photographer who seeks to mold you into the "perfect" pose or a fake cheesy grin. I know that years from now, you will look back and see in your portraits exactly the person you were, and feel exactly what that moment meant to you and your family, for this is my goal.

For you, my customer, my greatest hope is that when you see your images for the first time, they will literally take your breath away. The twinkling light in the eyes of your baby girl, that handsome impish grin on your little boy's face, the expression of individualism and oncoming adulthood in your Senior's images, the look of devotion and love on the face of your husband or wife when your eyes meet, and the heartfelt warmth of a family embrace that can truly be captured only when you think no one is looking - this is what I wish for your portraits.

These are my wishes for you, as your personal photographer, and your friend.


Sincerely,

Dawn

Aaah, a shiny New Year!!!

Hey all! I am reallly trying to do this... see?? I hope you all are having a great new year! So far mine has been pretty awesome. I got to have company a couple times and right now my mom and nephews are here, spent the night last night. The kids loved it of course - the grown-ups just need more rest at this point - LOL.

Ugh - Back to school on Monday! Ty is probably going to be thrilled about that, but I for one would just rather have my babies at home! I just don't think I could handle home school AND a photography business AND being a housewife... Is there any such thing as the perfect mom/housewife? I'd love to hear your thoughts on that one!

So, on to business... I am working out the details on my new pricing for 2009. Yes, many of my prices are going up. But, I will also be offering some specials throughout the year that will make my services available to so many people!

In the works at the moment is a Kid's Day - I'm thinking some time around end of February, after Valentine's Day. You will be able to bring your children in and have their portrait made in my home studio (maybe even outside, weather permitting) for a minimal sitting fee. These are not full sittings, but my mini-sittings will be enough for you to get a great portrait made of your child or children! If you have two or three children, there will be one sitting fee each if you want them made individually, but after that if time permits we can make portraits of them together too! This will all be done in a day or two (check back for more info later) and will be by appointment only! I CAN'T WAIT!! I will be sure to keep you all posted! OH! One other thing, I will be offering photo packages for these mini-sittings as well. So, you not only save on the sitting fee but on the prints as well! Call me for more info on this opportunity - but don't wait, as spots are limited!

Now, don't forget (not that you could with all the stores filling up with pink and red hearts everywhere) that February is right around the corner, and THAT means Valentine's Day! I offer Boudoir Photos that the men LOVE to get as gifts from their significant others! For one fee you get the sitting PLUS a leather bound folio with a few matted prints, embossed in the corner in silver or gold text with your name or cute little personal message for your sweetie. Truly the PERFECT gift for guys for Valentine's Day! Visit my website to contact me for more info, or call and ask me about it - just remember, time is running out!

Well I guess that's all for now, folks. Give me a holler if there is anything you want to talk about, or would like to hear about here. Heck, give me a holler for any reason... I know you're there... I can hear you breathing! ;)



Have a Beautiful Day!
