Buttars

I took these boys pictures last week. Baby Caleb put up quite the fight. I seriously thought since he was only 8 days old and my studio was really, really warm that he would sleep the whole time and let us take as many pictures of him as we wanted. He had different plans. He really fought us and wouldn't go to sleep. But he did sleep a while at the end so we got some real quick. Amanda, all your boys are just darling!










I also wanted to let everyone know that I am still taking pictures. I still only like to do one session a week. Obviously once my baby comes I will take a break but if you want pictures just e-mail me and we can work something out.

I also may increase the prices just a little. As of now I charge $25 for a child session and $50 for a newborn. Most child sessions take about an hour but then editing takes about 2. And a newborn takes 2-3 hours just taking pictures and about 2 to edit. I love taking pictures and want to be affordable, but when I am spending a total of 5 hours on a session, it isn't worth it. Photography for me has always been more of a hobby--but it can be an expensive hobby. I would like to be able to at least break even with the things I buy (new props, backdrops, etc). So, after I have my baby prices will be $50 for a child session and $75 for a newborn. Later this fall I will start doing family sessions and prices TBA.

These pictures look great Val. I love the 8th picture down with the little boy laying on the ground resting his head on his hands. His expression is adorable.
