The journey & new fee's

 ... growing everyday learning and meeting such great people! I wouldn't take any of it back. Funny to see how much I have grown over the years as a photographer and pictures I thought were so great even a year ago I'm like OMG what was I thinking lol. I have worked so hard to get to this place and I'm still not there yet. I have so much to improve on but I keep pushing along always wanting to learn more and more. I want to thank the people who have believed in me and stood by me through the rough days thinking that my passion wouldn't get me to where I wanted to be thinking that maybe this would be a great hobby but not a real job lol. I am proving to myself everyday that this is definatley A REAL JOB and that I deserve the credit for putting all the hard work into this. I had to tell myself that I did deserve to be paid appropriatley and not allow other people to take advantage of my talent and gift.  There was so many thing's that I have learned and still learning but truly feel blessed to have found the one thing I truly love in life besides my family of course :) It's my calling and I searched for that for many, many years always going from one thing to another searching for something I was passionate about to where I could put my whole heart into  it and feel good about what I did as well and it's def photography.
 It's come to the time where my prices are being raised and for numerous reasons. I have done my job, my deals my free work. I have given and provided to many people in order to establish myself. I will continue to donate time to charity and for a good cause always but it's time for me to be paid for appropriatley for the time and effort I put into each  shoot. It's time that my family can also benefit from all the time and money spent into creating all of this. I no longer can afford to nor can my family afford to have me gone and working for hours and days for little pay.
 ... Preparing your shoot.. props, clothing, theme, editing, all of this takes up hours of my time. The day of the shoot 90-2 hours of my time, leaving going home and editing all your images, buying your disc, mailing, ect.. all of it has been hard work and deals and shmeals are not buying my meals hahah (so being a dork)
 Obviously I will be throwing out holidays and seasonal specials but the new fee's for a 90 minute session is 175.00 and that will not include your prints or CD.  175.00 will pay for my time and talent that goes into your shoot. You then can pick the images you want to be printed or buy the whole CD and print however many you'd like for 200.00 with permission to print/ via Or buy a FB cd with small images not of print size for 50.00 ..... Hope everyone has a great day in this Humid crazy July day & thank you for all your business! oxoxoxo
