📸Attention Friends and Clients!

Just a quick update! SDP's summer weekends are almost fully booked! If you're looking to schedule a summer session, I still have a few weeknight slots available to capture those unforgettable moments.

I still have a couple weekend dates for August and September. Reach out now to secure your preferred date!

I am looking forward to meeting all the new clients this year has brought and spending time with all my favorite long time friends!

Thank you all for allowing me to shoot over 20 years of memories!

Perfectly worded! Self doubt has always been my enemy!

Time for my yearly, super vulnerable, post about Miss Marci. As many of you know, I struggle. I have good days and bad days. Sometimes it's my health, sometimes it's family hardships and sometimes my perimenopausal brain just hates me(as it does today). This is 'busy season' when for about 10 weeks, I pack in as many family and christmas mini sessions as I can while the weather is beautiful. That way you can all have yearly family and christmas pictures for your Christmas cards or can send out prints of your favorite family picture to grandparents and such.

Every image of every session is picked by me, edited by me and loved by me! So I must ask you all a favor. I need your feedback, your "oooos and ahhhs", your heartfelt thoughts about your pictures. I want to keep doing what I'm doing, but year after year, I hit a slump after sending out 50+galleries and only hearing from a handful of you how much you appreciate this work I put so much love into. Sometimes all I get is: "we picked our favorites." and nothing else.
~
So here is my perspective and I would love to hear yours: "Maybe they only liked 10 out of the 50 pictures? Maybe I didn't capture their real smile? Do they not like my editing style anymore? Was my location too tricky this year? Was I not enough fun during the session?" And on and on, because that is how my brain works. Please don't judge, I know it's all in my head.

I know I'm not the only photographer going through this right now, so please take a moment and send love to your photographer. Tell them how much your kids talked about their fun pictures, buy 1 or 2 extra images ($20 feels like the biggest compliments to me) or how your parents melted when they saw your pictures, or tag their business page so we can read all the comments from your loved ones! This is the best dopamine hit we could ever ask for! Maybe write up a review on Google. That would be dope! 🤣
~
You are the reason I love this work so much! I love watching your kids grow, and seeing their silly smiles and personalities emerge through the years! I wish I could bottle it up! I love freezing time with my camera. Hold those kids a little longer tonight for me!

With love,
Miss Marci

Here's a comparison from 2013 to 2025 just for funsies.

Life has been incredibly busy these last few months with work, life, and everything that comes with it! I'm so thankful for all my clients these last few months that have helped keep me doing what I love, I need to breathe and get better at sneaks again!
I do have to take a little extra time to share some love for my beautiful niece! When I say we've walked through wind, rain, and fire together... I'm being serious🤣! This girl has always put up with my crazy photo ideas, even when she was tiny and I was freshly new in this biz! Kenken I love you so very much and am so incredibly proud of you! I can't believe you are a senior! I am going to go have a good cry now 😢. Someone tell all these babies to slow down!

📣 Important Update for All Clients!

I want to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude for your continued support and trust in my services. As many of you know, we are facing rising operational costs across the board. To continue providing you with the quality and attention you deserve while keeping my pricing affordable, I have made the tough decision to downsize some of my programs and implement changes to my scheduling and communication systems. So with that, correspondence from me may look a little different.

Also, as much as I’ve loved dabbling in video editing, I will no longer be able to offer videography services, which I have occasionally provided, without impacting my pricing structure. I am continuing to research ways to offer this but as of now it’s an expense decision I’ve had to make. Everything else will still be the same.

If you have contacted me and have not received a response, I sincerely apologize. I am currently working on the new systems and trying to work out the kinks, so some messages may not be getting through correctly yet. Please bear with me during this transition, and don’t hesitate to reach out again if needed.

Lastly, my schedule for the rest of the year is looking pretty full! I only have a couple weekend dates left for summer and fall sessions so please reach out if you want on my books especially during a weekend!

Thank you for your understanding and support during this time. I truly appreciate each of you and look forward to continuing our journey together!

It's only appropriate to end the year with a newborn session! This little lady already knows she's the boss babe of this family! During her session she made sure we all knew who was in charge but my oh my isn't she a doll! I hope you all have a very happy and safe new year!

On Christmas Day the tree tops were glistening! Right before we headed out to see family I begged the guys to let me take a couple shots with the beautiful frost! So happy they braved the cold for a couple minutes with me!

Just a few days before Christmas I had the incredible honor of photographing a surprise proposal under twinkling winter lights! This guy pulled over a big one in the most romantic way! When she realized what was happening the look of surprise and joy on her face was priceless! Congratulations to the happy couple, may your love always sparkle as bright as those beautiful lights!
