Medical Leave

2010-11-05T15:25:00.002-04:00

I am currently on medical leave, and will not be shooting until March 2011. I do have photographers that I can refer you to while I recover from surgery. Have a safe and happy holiday season with your families!

What a pain in the neck.

2009-09-22T10:13:00.004-04:00

Well now I've done it. Some of you know that I injured my neck this summer. It actually felt better right after I did it. I've seen 2 doctors, PT, medications and I'm in worse shape now. So I see another specialist on the 30th of September and until then I've been benched from photography. Unfortunately holding up my camera and sitting at the desk to photoshop for hours irritates the injury quite a bit. I will not be scheduling any more shoots for September or October (OH, it's hard to mouth those words!). Thank you for your patience, and let's hope that I don't drive my poor family crazy in the mean time!

It was a million degrees, and lighting striking by the time we were finishing! Hollie is beautiful both inside and out!

Ashley was a pro. It had to be a million degrees today and she still managed to rock the photo shoot!

Dream Boy

It was very, very hot when we did this shoot, and it was also naptime. But Little Tyler was the a dream to shoot. He could be a Gap model!

Little Miss "A"

I did her newborn shoot, and was thrilled when her mom called me to take her pics again:) She's absolutely perfect! And oh, so pretty in pink!

Senior shoot....

Well, due to the storms last night, I have no power. It went out at 5pm on Monday June 9th, and still isn't on (it's 3pm on June 10th). I packed up my kids and I'm at my mom's. According to AEP we might be out for another 24 hours.....so........another delay. I'm going to go home and get my PC and monitor in a couple of hours so that I can work on pics while I'm here. Keep your fingers crossed that they get us fixed soon (there are only a few houses in my neighborhood out, so we are on the bottom of the electric totem pole.) I apologize for the inconvenience.

Studio space!

2008-05-28T14:30:00.004-04:00

I am now the proud renter of 1400 square feet of yummy studio space in Leo! I am sharing the space with 3 good friends and photographers. I will put photos of the studio on as soon as we get it set up (we are moved in, and are setting it up Monday, June 2nd).

Pricing....oh,how I hate to figure out pricing. I've done extensive research on other photographers in this area who do the same type of photography. I've also collaborated with other photographers, and that is how I come up with my prices. I thought it only fair to share with you as to where your money goes:

Cost of equipment: lenses, cameras, filters, bags, flashes, diffusers, batteries,
Gas
Childcare
Editing software
Computer & back-up hard drives
Fios
Business cards
Insurance
Website costs
Studio space
Tripod
Reflectors
Samples
Packaging
Props
Backdrops
Studio lighting (replacement bulbs, etc)
Classes & workshops
Animoto subscription for slideshows
CD's, printer, ink, paper
Prints (S&H)
About 4-6 hours post-processing each shoot
Most valuable-time

Few pics from last night.

This little guy didn't feel well and was still a perfect subject! Wanted to share a few of his pics:)

We said goodbye to my husband a couple of weeks ago. He will be in Kuwait for a year. I had surgery on March 20th and require about a month to recover. We will be going to New Orleans to visit my husband from April 22nd-April 29th. So it looks like shooting gets pushed back to May. I apologize for the inconvenience. I will post my calendar as soon as possible. Thank you so much for your patience! Kim
