Calling All Expecting Mommies due by March 1st! {Quad Cities Newborn Photographer}

Posted on December 11, 2011

In the last few months, I haven’t had too many little ones come through the studio, and I’m soooo very missing those squishy little faces and adorable cuteness!  I’ve also gone on a prop buying spree and would love to test a few of them out soon! So, this means I’m going to be offering up an amazing deal on newborn photo sessions only for the months of January and February.  Anyone who schedules “The Ultimate” (pricing can be found here:http://cherishedkeepsakesphotos.com/blog/category/investmentpricing-updates/ )  for their newborn session during January and February (just need to contact me with the approximate due date, so that I can reserve some space during that week) will receive a 65% discount.  This is only available when purchasing “The Ultimate” (regular price $449 before tax).

I will also be offering up one FREE Ultimate session to the FIRST person to contact me about scheduling their upcoming arrival!! cherishedkeepsakes@hotmail.com

Can’t wait to see all the new little ones in the studio very soon!

Just a teeny bit behind…but I’m back now! And with my first wedding details!!

Posted on November 12, 2011

Last month, I had the amazing and somewhat intimidating (aka scary) experience of photographing my first wedding! With the grace of God (and an awesome bride and groom), it turned out wonderful, and I didn’t have a panic attack from the 90 million things running through my head.  I’m so excited to share a few of these wonderful shots with everyone!  Although, I’m not sure that I ever want to do wedding photography full-time… I do think that being there for one every now and again is well-worth the bit of “panic” and it keeps life interesting ;)   I especially just love capturing such a special moment in two people’s lives. It’s so awesome to see the love and happiness in their eyes, and I feel blessed to be a part of that!

BIG changes coming for 2012!

Posted on October 12, 2011

It’s so hard to believe that this year is almost over! My girls are more than a little excited about trick-or-treating in a few weeks, and it always seems like after Halloween that the days before Christmas just fly by. So, I decided to go ahead and anounce my new pricing structure and format changes for 2012 a bit earlier than I had planned.

During this first year of business in the Quad Cities, I have found that around 80% of my clients usually choose to buy the cd of their session. This has made me question whether I want to continue to sell prints or become a strictly digital photographer. After plenty of thought and research, I have decided to change my pricing structure and take the more digital route. As of January 2012, I will be including a USB flash drive with every session instead of offering the cd of images as a separate purchase. I opted for the flash drive over cd/dvd because it is a much more convenient and durable way to house your photos and is convenient to back-up and share with others. With this new addition, I will be having some portrait pricing and package changes starting in January 2012. I will still be offering prints, wall canvases, and other specialty items as additional purchases.

Here is the new pricing structure for 2012:

The Ultimate: This session is up to 2 hours, and it includes 30-35 high-resolution images on a USB flash drive along with a custom 5×5 photo book with the images from your session. This is great for larger and extended families, high school senior photos, and newborns as well.- $449

The Ideal This session is up to an hour long and can only be scheduled for families of 5 or less (extra $25 per additional person). 20-25 high-resolution images are included in this session on a USB flash drive along with a custom 5×5 photo book with the images from your session. This session is perfect for all ranges of photos, including family, children, engagement sessions, business headshots, and more! – $289

Simplicity This is a 30-minute mini-session and can include up to 4 people (extra $25 per additional person). 10-15 high-resolution images are included in this session on a USB flash drive along with a spiral-bound set of 4×6 prints of the images from your session. This package is great for business headshots or capturing children’s milestones (newborn sessions are not included with this package due to the extensive timeframe needed)! $159

I will continue to have special deals and themed children’s mini-sessions a few times a year as well!

**** In the next month or so, I will be adding info on wedding packages. So, be sure to keep checking back for new updates!

Ms. Brittany – Senior 2012 {Quad Cities High School Senior Photographer}

Posted on September 28, 2011

I had an awesome time during my latest senior photo session! This girl has some gorgeous green eyes, and a beautiful face to go right along with them. Plus, a great personality to match. She went along with all of my requests (even when I had her in some of those “can barely hold my balance” type poses hehe). She was also a student of mine in one of my spring camera classes at Black Hawk College! I may have a few more to share over the next couple of days because I loved so many from this evening, but here are a few of my favorites so far.

On Friday, I met a little cutie who was celebrating her first birthday this weekend. Even though she was putting on her oh-so-serious face, we caught a few smiles anyway ;) And how can you not love those big beautiful brown eyes!? 1st birthday photos are always fun when you add a little cake into the mix as well…hehe

Extended Family Time! {Quad Cities Family Photographer}

Posted on September 11, 2011

I’ve been running a little behind with the blogging lately, but I’m going to try to catch up and get back on track today! First, I’m going to start off with a recent photo session that I had with a beautiful family in Clinton.  We were racing against the weather, and I had to search out an umbrella in the end.  BUT we still got some great photos! Here’s a sneak peek :)
