I’ve taken on a challenge to myself. To take photos each week for ME! I’ll be posting some of these here.
It’s been unusually cold here. We decided to venture out since it got up in the 40’s today. We only lasted about 10 minutes! And, I’ve noticed my girl’s got roots!
Also, I’m entering this in the I Heart Faces – Best Face Photo Week. It’s their Birthday this week! Check them out!

Can you believe it’s November! This year is flying by! Here are some more examples of coordinating your clothing for your photos. These items can be purchased at Old Navy.

Every once in a while custom photographers are asked why they charge what they do or how they come up with their pricing. A lot of people think we just snap a photo, download it and show the customer. If it were only that easy!
The photographer still has to process those images in addition to many other things to actually complete a session. While the session with the customer may be anywhere from 30 minutes to 3 hours, on the back end the photographer actually spends 5-15 hours on any particular session.
Here’s a great article that goes more in depth on custom photography costs.

Many people ask what they should wear when they schedule a photo session. You don’t necessarily have to match (i.e. all white shirts), just coordinate. Here are some examples:

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. I am proud to announce that I am now a photographer for for the Think Pink Photography Network.
