Session Changes for 2012

After testing this out on Senior Sessions this year, I have decided to do away with the 10 free 4x5 proofs. Instead, I am going to offer a proofbook with ALL images with each session. There is a slight catch. This proofbook is free with a $50.00 print purchase. If you wish to have your proofbook before purchasing images, you just have to put down a $50.00 deposit. (Sitting fee doesn't count) The $50.00 will come off your photo order whenever you decide to place it.

Benefits:
  • You will not have to narrow down your photos anymore.
  • You will have permanent documentation of all photos we take, even after your event expires online.
  • Ordering after your month is up will be much easier, as all photos will have an item number on them.
  • You will have a fun book to tuck in your purse or pocket to show off to your friends and relatives!
  • If you don't think you will purchase $50.00 worth of prints, you do not have to; there are NO obligations.

Why the switch?
I know some people really liked getting the 10 free proofs. The main reason why I switched is due to the hassle. More people were confused by the free proofs than people who understood. Many people thought they could only order from the 10 free proofs that they picked, which wasn't the case at all. I decided to simplify the process a bit and cut out some of the decision making.

I chose a $50.00 minimum for this book, because it was very rare that anyone spent less than that on photos this year. I feel like that is a fair minimum to receive a proof book worth about $30.00 in itself.

What is included with your sitting fee if free prints no longer are?
With your sitting fee, you receive my time and talent. Remember that your session is only a tiny fraction of the work I put into your photos. You will also still be able to take advantage of free basic retouching with all purchased prints. Online hosting for one month is also included.
