If you have a link from your Maternity Session your Newborn session will be added to it, the current count down time atm is 60 minutes for total upload.

Check your links to see if they have gotten in there if you didn't have a maternity session or previous link you till get one once everything is done uploading.

Hi all! In order for us to upload the next round of photos we need to clear up some space on the drive, so if you have received a message stating your link is ready please download them by 7/21 (which will put us at next week). The links will be deactivated after that point to make sure everyone can get their photos! If you are having issues, please reach out to us and we will walk you through the process.

*If you cannot download photos by that time, we can re-upload, but only after everyone has been given the opportunity to get their links!

As always, we appreciate your patience

Good Evening! Ulla's Assistant here, as she is trucking along I will be sending messages to clients who are in the final editing stage, and then the links when they are completed.

We are deeply appreciative of your patience.

There are a bunch of links going out. I have someone helping to make sure they get out and I can keep working...I have learned that I have to work in blocks. Meaning a section gets culled, then edited, then uploaded. I get seriously sidetracked trying to get links out and replying to messages. This is why I can not stop and reply to messages, otherwise it can take hours to get back on track. When my brain just wants to get the work done.

A couple of side notes:
1. Make sure you have a message to this page to make sure they can find you and get you, your link. Thank you
I will not be forwarding text messages etc to them they will be working directly out of here only. Again thank you for understanding.
2. If you didn't download your wedding from the first time around could you please do so before I have to upload the next weddings? Thank you that space is needed.
3. If you get a link for a Maternity/Newborn bundle and only the maternity is in there keep the link, because your Newborn session will go in there. Thank you
4. These Sessions are being or have been culled and are in the editing process:
Castro NB
Ator Cake Smash
Judy Headshots
Canady NB
Highhorse NB
Tannah NB
Lisa N NB
Hood NB

The Weddings ( I am keeping them last since they will be in the hundreds of image being returned and I do not want to rush them) I will have a folder set up and upload into those as images are completed so you will have those filtering in.

If your session is not listed above that means that you will be getting a link.

If you had gotten a proof gallery in the past and didn't select your images please message so that can be settled.
Please message so we can figure that out, Thank you

If you need or have lost your images etc, didn't download them and so on, again you will have to message again. Thank you.

You might note the time this is posted, close to 5 am
I have been working from when I get up at 5pm through the night until 11 AM sometimes until 2pm. I know everyone wants their images I am working as hard as I possibly can. I am sure my neighbors would love for me to mow my lawn but this is more important I would love to take a shower, and make a real meal to eat.

Thank you again for everyone's understanding and patience

Please help get these images back to their home, thank you.

Luckily nothing has been lost, but should also be an indicator of how not well I was.

The past week or so was rough, my medication stopped working and had to be adjusted, the adjustment didn't go well the first time and Tried very hard to muscle through without much luck, but now that it has been corrected I can actually look at things and not forget mid action what I was doing. Learning how to use a program that I used everyday for many hours, again has been very humbling.

There are 6 or 7 galleries uploading right now

I wanted to share the break down of groups: It took a long time to get everything reorganized and figure out what is the best way to accomplish everything I possibly can:

The editing process consists of 2 things:
1. Culling and balancing exposure and white balance and initial toning and adjusting of colors, highlights, shadows
2. Final process which is when skin is corrected and smoothed and also straightening and sharpening for print.

So I work in groups of 5 galleries at a time.
I made the decision to hold the weddings until the end, only because then I am not rushing those at all vs having one in the middle of the group, yes more time....but it won't be rushed to move onto the next gallery.

Again, had I known how far down the rabbit hole I was I would not have taken on sessions. Had I known it was going to take this long to get back on track, I really thought that if I kept pushing forward I would make it....I was wrong:

SO the group I am currently working on is:
Ashley Mc
Whitney C
Jasmyne B
Kylie
Morgan NB

Again I am logging out of everything the galleries that have been uploaded will be sent to whom it belongs to thank you again for all the understanding

Just an update, there are 3 galleries ready to go out.

I'm again logged out from all apps, I will message with the links as galleries become available.

I know there are people that want galleries reuploaded, I also need the space right now to put the new things out first then as space becomes available I can add them.

Thank you again for your understanding and as always I'm truly sorry.

03/28/2021

So just an FYI, I'm signing out and going back to work. I will be sending links as soon as I can through Facebook, Instagram, Texts, where ever I need to, to get them out.

This is a priority for me, I work best without distractions. I will upload and get links out once a day probably late at night and access messages etc I will try my best to do good work as quickly as possible.

Again, I am truly very sorry.

I can not thank those that have graced me with time to complete images, because in doing so I have been able to create the work that you deserve....trust me the images I edited 2 months ago are not at the same level as what has been going out these past 2 weeks. I promise it is worth the wait and it has been confirmed over and over again with each message that is received after sending the link to the gallery.

Thank you as always, I am forever indebted to your understanding for this pitfall I had to work through.

Not only is it Fahtima 's Birthday today she also brought in this beautiful little one for my last session in my studio on Main Street.

What's next? Other than editing? I haven't a clue at all.

However I can not express the gratitude of serving this community and beyond for the past 7 years.

Something is bound to happen right?

A little behind the scenes action from today 💖💖💖

I can not express how much I LOVE photographing newborns
Even though little Mr wanted to wake up and tell me his life story, look at me, and smile. I was not worried.

Why?
After photographing around 500 newborns in my career....I have learned many things. Yes, I coukd have waited it out but that means mom and dad woukd have to wait it out too....so in the best interest of everyone and their sanity (needing some rest etc) I was like, how about we try again in a couple of days? Everything is set up and I left it in its place for their return.

I believe in quality over quanity. I believe in doing my best every time I walk into a space to create. I believe in integrity. I hold myself to very high standards. (You would probably be stunned at how I talk to myself)

Constantly pushing my limits, never giving up....it is not an option, never has nor ever will be. I'm behind, yes that is true. I haven't stopped, I fell to the ground hard, the wind knocked out of me....I stood up, a bit dazed and unsure. I dusted myself off. Burnt out and struggling to make sense of it all....still haven't, probably never will.

What's next? Finishing everything. At the level and standard that I am proud of. I'm thinking of doing Bo***ir sessions after the New Year, but there's a twist (always reaching to be and do better and new).....I know wholeheartedly I've disappointed many, but I have to dust that off too and forgive myself.

Again Happy Winter Solstice may everything you manifest, prayed for, and dreamed of comes true tis following year.

My Niece Graduates this year....idk why time just flew by so fast.

Anyways, again reminder, I am working hard behind the scenes, up until 5AM most nights. My notifications are turned off on my mobile phone so I can focus and get things done. Today is the one or two image requests for Christmas things. I am not posting sneak peeks or updating things here just so I can stay focused on editing. Again thank you so much for your patience.
