Price changes on 1-1-09

First off, I would like to thank each and everyone of you who have made 2008 a success. Without you, I would not be doing this!! I have made many new friends along the way. This has been a journey of learning, trial and error, and fixing a lot of mistakes, lol. I also would like to thank you for allowing me to photograph your babies/children and watching them grow!!
With that said, I have to unfortunately increase some of my prices. I am not looking to rip off anyone or get rich in this process. My reasoning for increasing prices include time away from my family as I stay on the computer to edit each and every picture I put on the Internet and proof book. Honestly, I make about $10-15 dollars for every session that takes at least an hour of taking pictures. The work really begins after the session is over. I then have to download pictures, go through each and every picture, choose them, edit them, download them on the Internet, and then finally order the proof books. It usually takes me a good 3-4 hours to do on whole session. I feel like $10-15 dollars for all of that is nothing.


Also starting this year, I will be off on Sundays and Mondays to spend time with my family. If you already have an appointment scheduled on those days...you will still have that appointment. For those of you who really need a Sunday, I could check with my sister-in-law for those days if you are interested.
