The Ohene Opare Family

Meet the Ohene Opare Family! They had the honor of being my first Family Session of 2011. What a sweet family they are and such well behaved kids. :) Now this is defiantly a family that loves each other. I love how you can see it in their eyes. :) What fun it was to Photograph them. Here are a few of my favorite shots. Hope you enjoy!

Note: I will be leaving a few other days open besides these dates listed for Weddings and Newborn Sessions. If you are expecting in 2011 send me a note and I will write you down as the month of your due date and once baby comes call me and we will discuss the best date at that time. I prefer to photograph Newborns up until 10 days old while they are naturally sleepy. Newborns are my absolute favorite to Photograph because I get to use my imagination a little more. If this is something that interests you and you would like for me to capture those precious moments while your newborn is so small send me an email with your due date and I will add you to the list.

Changes for 2011

I just want to start by saying Thank You so much to all my dear sweet clients for making 2010 a year that I will not soon forget. Looking ahead to the coming year of Photography I will be making some changes to how I run my business. This was a hard decision for me to make and I spent many hours contemplating how I might go ahead with this. Unfortunately, I will no longer be able to offer 40- 80 edited Color, Black and White and Old Style in my normal packages. Instead I will be offering 20-40 edited Color, Black and White and Old Style.
I have been thinking a lot about this and feel this is the best way for me to move forward. Last year editing the typical Photography Session took me an average of 5 + minutes per image. So when you do the math on 240 images it took me on average 20 hours to edit one session and that is not including the time that is takes for the Photography Session. As a result I feel that this change must be made in order for me to continue in Photography. Also I will be charging $85 for newborns in 2011 due to the amount of time that it takes for the session. All other Sessions will stay $75.
I am working on my Schedule for 2011 and as soon as I get it figured out I will post the dates I have open on this blog. At that time feel free to contact me and we will schedule you. Photography is a very tricky business and I feel very blessed to be able to be a part of it. I understand I would not be where I am without the help of the best clients ever. Thank you so much for your support! . I look forward to 2011 and sharing the magic that will come from Photography.

Sadie

Sadie is back at 15 days new! I know you didn't get enough of this sweet little girl the first time. :) I welcomed in the New year Photographing Sadie in her Second Photography Session. As if her parents weren't going to have a hard enough time picking which ones to print. Hahaha I thought I would try my luck on some bare bottom shots with Sadie. Let's just say I had to do alot of laundry. hahaha But the shots were well worth it. :) Hope you enjoy some more of cute baby Sadie.
