The littlest ball players will always have my heart. I don’t know if it’s the eager grins or the ears that get squished by the hats that are far too big for them yet. 🫠 But I could just eat them up!!
But now for my little spiel on order forms - which is my LEAST favorite thing of all time.
For all sports/daycare/preschool sessions that I do -pretty, pretty, please take notice to the minimum spend amount listed on the forms. A lot of photographers make you purchase a package before being able to order any of the “fun” things like memory mates, magnets, etc. I do not do that. However, because of that, if you ONLY order from the ala carte section, there IS a minimum amount that is required to be met to place an order.
I always want to explain this in the most appropriate way and I am certainly no good at properly explaining things face to face. Because between you and me, I hate any talk having to do with money. In a perfect world, I could do this for free. But I put a lot of time and energy and so. much. money. into doing this, so if everyone only bought (1) 5x7 print for $7 - after taxes and paying to print the photo, I’d be left with basically having to photograph 30 kids to even be able to cover the backdrop I am using. I hope this makes sense!! I also want to keep it fair across the board for ALL parents. So I am definitely cracking down on following that rule. From now on, I will be reaching out to anyone who does not meet the minimum amount, but if you read this and would like to reach out first - I’d love you forever. Because I HATE this part of the job. Sooooo much.
Also, in the same breath, if you’re struggling financially, please just let me know that. I am literally one of the most understanding people and if I can help out while you’re going through a rough patch, I absolutely will.
Can’t wait to see my West End Little Leaguers tonight!! I am going to be mixing things up a little bit this year and am bringing the indoor set up - outside!
