I am so excited March is here! That means Spring is on the way! Just the last few warm days has brought me so much joy!
Everyone who has been following my journey the last few years, knows my goal of being a full time photographer. Right now, I still work part time. Which takes time away from editing and return calls/emails. It also limits the days and times I can have sessions.
At the start of every new year I sit down to figure out how I can reach full time and leave my part time job. I try not to change too much at once. I felt that a nice slow pace for the changes was a good idea, until I realized it will be another five years before I am at where I needed to be. So, I decided this past new years eve that I was going to just jump right in. Now with three kids of my own I can't just quit my part time job until I have a steady amount of sessions each month. To achieve my goal I needed to make a few changes. Here they are.......
After April 2nd I will have three types of sessions.
- Regular; perfect for larger family sessions, newborns, maternity, and any session where you would like to make more than two outfit change. Can be at my studio or at a local location. Session comes with between 75-100 printed proofs.
- Small; perfect for small family portraits, birthday sessions, senior portraits, and any session where you would like two or less outfit changes. Can be at my studio or at a local location. Session comes with between 30-70 printed proofs.
- Mini; fast sessions with no outfit changes on select dates and times only. Comes with 8-12 images on CD with rights to print.
Prices will vary depending on:
- day: Monday - Friday OR Saturday and Sunday
- time: Sessions 3pm and later will have a different price as well as weekends.
- proof sizes. You will have options to upgrade your proofs from the 3 1/2 x 5 prints to 5x7 or 8x10!
I decided to go with the printed proof options so you can see what your portraits will look like as a prints. Plus it makes it so you can give them as gifts or keep and use them in a scrap book for yourself! All proofs will have a small logo on them on the bottom right of your portrait.
A Regular session will start at $350 for Monday-Friday before 3pm. Small Sessions start at $200 Monday-Friday before 3pm. Weekday Studio Mini Sessions will be $80 and Weekend Studio Mini Session will be $125.
If you think of it this way a Weekday Regular session will be about $3.50 per printed 3 1/2 x 5 proof! What a deal!
Please take a moment and leave me some feedback on my blog. Tell me what you think of printed proofs, is it easier for you to pick your session needs knowing the information above (regular, small, and mini). Thank you so much for your input!
