Hello all!

Several long time clients have recently asked if I am still shooting. Yes I am! Though I have scaled back and will exclusively be taking no more than 40 sessions per year max.

As much fun as it has been to have a large studio I made the decision to close it down and downsize. I am an artist at heart, not just a mom-tographer taking pictures in a park. I do not batch edit images with presets 1,000’s of other photographers use too. That doesn’t make my heart sing. I can’t give you flawless skin and make images dreamy in a one week turn around. If that doesn’t work for you, I’m never offended. I’m just not the photographer for you. I like to take my time editing and make art. I want to be creative with my editing. That can’t be rushed. I’m not on Lightroom syncing all images to look the same.

With all the algorithm changes you’re expected to be a social media manager and marketing expert on top of all the other roles that come with being a one person company and frankly that is not what I love doing.

I may not post often, but I am still around. More like Batman though.. quietly in the shadows hehe 😜. This is in large part to why I have decided to downsize and become a more exclusive shooter. I simply don’t WANT to do the social media side. My love is in the creative side. In establishing connections to my clients that help create happy memories with their images. Having time to be creative and try new things during the sessions. Not just taking session I don’t enjoy shooting to cover costs of doing business.

What does this mean for my clients? It means I am still here and happy to make new memories with you. My business has just become more exclusive.

As a reminder I do not use fb messenger for business. Please contact me via email. Thank you for all the love and support over the years and I am looking forward to the continued joy of shooting with my amazing clients!

Ps, enjoy my portrait shot by my own little princess. 📸 by Giavanna 🖤

I have a very special sale this week through Sunday only!

So many of my long time clients have shared that they are experiencing economic difficulties and as a mommy I feel the heartache of missing out of fun milestone photos. We know how fast they grow!

So, with that said I have created an affordable package for my fairytale loving clients. This package will include (2) two unicorn images and (2) additional images either on the floral swing or with angel wings. (you can wear the wings on the swing as well).

To help keep this affordable package possible and manage the work time those goes into the entire start to finish work flow I will be selecting the images to be edited. The good news is that it will make delivery a bit faster!

I can't wait to see your faces. I am blessed to get to watch your babies grow and make new memories with so many of you each year. Thank you for all be so amazing!

Follow the links in the comments to book! Spots are very limited.
