NEW Online proofing system! (& more!)

After much research and months of planning, I am excited to announce I now have my NEW ONLINE PROOFING SYSTEM set up and ready to use! This system will be used for all children/family and high school senior sessions.

Effective May 1st, 2007 all clients will receive an online proof gallery with their session, (rather than printed proofs).
Why is this great for you?

- One less appointment... no need to make an extra trip to pick up your proofs!
- See your pictures sooner... All galleries should be up within 7-10 days of your shoot (sometimes even sooner).
- Sharing privileges... now you can email your gallery link to grandma in your hometown or your favorite great aunt in Paris!
- Easy ordering... place your order directly online; no need to mail or drop off an order form.

A sample gallery can be viewed by going to my website and clicking on the "Client" section, then "Public Galleries." Questions? Please let me know! My goal is to make the process as user-friendly as possible. At each shoot, you will receive a sheet filled with information regarding the ordering process.

Also effective May 1st, there is a new FLAT RATE session fee (for up to 5 people) of $65 (rather than various rates for the number of individuals). And the price of adding an additional look has gone down - now for just $20 (rather than $29), you can add a second (or third or fourth) outfit change & background to your session!

Reprint prices have also been adjusted, while still maintaining their affordability compared to other photographers of the same caliber & style. These can be viewed on the price pages of my website.

Because pictures is what it's all about, I know you may want 4x6s of all your favorites! Currently, a set of printed 4x6 proofs (your choice of either 16 or 24 different images) is available at a reduced cost (60%+ savings from ordering each 4x6 on its own). These can be ordered alone or with your reprint order. All other reprints are ordered a la carte as always, though various packages and specials will come and go. (In the next couple months, there should be price breaks available for ordering multiples of the same image (ex: 10+ of the same 4x6), or similiar scenarios, once the online system is updated).

Creative, original photography is truly an investment for a lifetime of memories. Each print, a work of art for your home, office, or as a gift, represents a moment in time never to be forgotten. My goal is to be creating fresh, artistic images that genuinely capture the personality of the child or individual I'm photographing. My sincere thanks for valuing what I do! I look forward to continuing to offer you the best in original, modern photography.
