Back to School mini session event-CANCELED
Unfortunately, I am canceling the Back to School Mini Session event, due to lack of interest. I would love to offer more Mini events like this, but I can not do them if I do not get enough clients to sign up. If you look around at some other photographers that do them, you will see that they are actually a great deal. But I just simply can not do them if there isn't enough clients to fill up what could be a full day of sessions for me. I have seen mini sessions as much as $300 or more. I try to keep them small, and only include a few photos, to keep the cost down as low as possible.
Because I have had a bunch of people emailing and messaging me asking if I will be doing a Halloween/Costume mini session, I am considering doing one. (I had a lot of people asking me to do back to school mini sessions though too). Sometime in the next couple of weeks, I will put some information and pricing together to see if there is enough interest to have it take place. It would take place sometime during the 2nd week of October.

New hours!
Exciting news!
As of the 2nd week of September I will be able to schedule weekday sessions!
As most of you know, first and foremost, I am a stay at home mommy to my 2 sweet girls. It has been very rare that I have been able to schedule weekday sessions (I usually have usually only allowed close friends who have no problems with a 4 year old walking in and eating their child's cake in the middle of a cake smash LOL!)
But....my youngest will be starting preschool in just a few weeks, which frees up at least 3 weekday time slots a week! Weekday sessions are perfect for stay at home moms with young children, newborns, and homeschoolers! Most younger children are at their best in the mornings, after getting a full nights sleep :)
Also, this is perfect timing for the start of Holiday sessions! Weekends always fill up first, so this will help with the rush of Holiday photo sessions!

Announcements coming soon....
I have had SOOOO many inquiries lately about Holiday photos....so many that I can hardly keep up. If I have not gotten back to you, please email or call me again, just in case I missed it some how!
Stay tuned for announcements on Holiday pricing and availablity. I am working on putting together packages specifically for Holiday sessions. I will also be getting some Holiday themed backdrops this year after realizing part way through the holiday season it would have been nice with how cold it was by October last year.
I am super excited to say that we will be staying in Minot for the duration of the Holidays this year, so my Holiday sessions will go much later into the holiday season than they have the last 2 years! This means I will have a lot more availbility and not have to turn away as many clients!!!
With that, I am going to leave you with a couple of quick snapshots I took of my little one, modeling my 2 new Halloween backdrops (I am not sure at this point if I will do Costume mini sessions due to lack of interest in my last few mini session events!) But you can always book a full session, or just bring along your child's Halloween costume next time you come in for family photos!

New webpage..coming soon!
Sometime in the next couple of weeks, you will all get to see my brand new website! My awesome tech guy (the hubby) has been hard at work improving it again. Soon you will be able to access your web gallery directly through my website, so there will be no searching through your emails for the link :D
Also, we are working on trying to get it where you can view them on your mobile phones. Right now, most of my website is run through flash, and even most smart phones do not allow flash. There will either just be one site that works regular and on smart phones...or there will be two versions so when you go to my main page, you will have the option of the full page version or the mobile version.
Another change will be your time frame that your gallery will be up. Up until now, it has been 30 days, but it will be changed to 14 days. 90% of my orders are placed within the first 5 days of the gallery being posted, and the ones after that, I am told, is usually due to having too much time to decide and then forgetting until they get a reminder from me a couple of days before it expires. If you need more than 14 days, for whatever reason, please just let me know and we will make arrangements for your gallery to stay up longer :)
I am super excited...stay tuned....!
Updated Newborn Pricing
Updated Newborn Pricing
In the past year I have added some new products that I wanted to start including in all newborn sessions. I have decided to offer different "levels" of pricing for newborn sessions. Yes, my pricing on newborn sessions has increased, but any of you that have experienced a newborn session with me knows how much work goes into one,,,before, during, and after your session. They are the most work, but they are my favorite type of session. And, as my studio is expanding and I am increasing the number of backdrops and props I have for newborns, the sessions are lasting even longer. All newborn sessions include an online web gallery for 14 days, full acess to a wide variety or newborn props (hats, blankets, headbands, baskets, etc) which is constantly being added to. I do everything I can to make newborns as well as moms feel comfortable and at home here in my studio. Below I have a list of my 3 levels of newborn sessions...each increase in value!
