2011 Holiday Pricing and Session Info

Here is a ton of the information you will need in order to book a session with Stacy VanDyck Photography from September 1st-December 31st 2011. 

You will probably realize that my prices have increased a little, but there are many reasons for this.  First of all, I have not changed my prices in about a year.  Since then I have gone from about 10 to now about 40 different types of backdrops.  My prop stash has probably multipled by at least 10 in the last year. My studio has been completely redone and a lot of time, effort and money have gone into making everything better.  Better for me and you, my clients.  Second of all, the holidays are my BUSIEST time of the year.  The last 2 years, I have filled up and have to turn clients away or they have to wait until after the holiday rush is over. This year, I am expecting to be even busier than ever.  I completely understand that some of you will chose to not have me do your Holiday photos this year because of this, but those who really truely value what I do, and the memories I create for your family, will understand that I put a lot of time, talent, education, and planning into your session. More money goes into running a photography business then most think.  If you shop around for other photographers that actually have experience (and have been producing professional quality prints for more than 2 years.  I am by no means putting down new photographers, we all have to start somewhere!) you will see that I am comparable in cost or most of the time, still less.  Most importantly....I have to make the time I spend away from my precious family worth it for me, especially during my favorite time of the year!
