Yesterday I went over the park where I'll be photographing a wedding on Friday. I wanted to scout it out and take some test shots. While I was walking around I got to do some nature photography, which I LOVE but rarely get the chance. I thought I'd share them.
I am thrilled to announce that I will be offering mini-sessions on the afternoon of Saturday, September 29th! There will not be a session fee for the minis, although clients will have a minimum print order requirement of $50.00. Sessions will be 15-20 minutes in length...long enough to capture good and relaxed images of your child or family....without being so long that children (or the Dads in family sessions...ha!) get tired and bored with it. This is a great opportunity to take your Fall and/or holiday photos. Please rsvp if you would like to schedule a mini-session!
I took Libby for a very short photo session this evening. I wanted to get some of her in her tutu and new rainboots. We had exactly 45 minutes to go wherever I was going to take the photos and get back to the house...so this was fast. She is such a ham :) We had fun. We only made it to two locations, but since they were on opposite ends of town, that's pretty good!
I'd like to get at least one of them printed big for the house...don't tell Chris.
I'm going to load the whole shoot onto my proofing site and give the link here in case you'd like to see them all. I'll do that tomorrow. For now, here are a bunch of my favorites.
I did a lot of updating on my website...new photos added, old removed, did some more editing to existing ones. I think it looks much better. I'd love for you to take a look and let me know what you think. My friend and photographer extraordinaire (yeah, I know I spelled that wrong, but the spellcheck wouldn't help me out) Amy (I have her link on my personal blog) helped me pick which photos to add. Please always feel free to leave comments here....I never get them and they make my day when I do ;)
I am selling my Olympus E-510 camera body and 50-200mm 2.8 lens, as well as my Olympus FL-50 speedlight. This is an excellent system, Olympus' top end semi-pro camera. I loved this system, but made the switch to Canon equipment. If you are interested, please email me at rebecca@soulreflectionphotography.com
Portrait Parties
New for 2008: Portrait Parties! I have decided, after much success with mini-sessions last year, to offer Portrait Parties in 2008. Just like a Tupperware party, the host/hostess invites guests to participate in mini-sessions at his/her home or other location...and in return receives a print credit of 20% of total sales from the party. I will be happy to help you work out the details of your party, and will supply you with custom invitations. Guests receive a free mini-session, and in return will be required to purchase at least $50.00 in prints, which is due at the time of the mini session to be held as a print credit towards their order. Each mini-session will be about 20 minutes in length and is for up to four people. If a guest requires more than 30 minutes, or wishes to include more than four people in their session there will be a $25.00 fee. I will bring several backdrops to the party so the host need not worry about having the 'perfect' spot in their home. All I need is an average sized room with some good window light. Often I push the dining table out of the way and take advantage of patio doors. In order to host a portrait party you must have at least 6 guests book mini sessions.
