Update for 2012

Alright everyone I am finally starting to take appointments for 2012.  So if your little ones have birthdays, your due date, or just want a family session this is your time to schedule.  I am only doing weekends through the winter months.  I will pick up a few evening sessions in the spring once the time changes back and we have daylight later in the evening.

I am going to do a couple mini sessions in the spring.  Trying to get a few more themed sessions, but only if you all are interested. If you all are interested in anything else please let me know.

*Mini session date for Easter is set for March 24th, that way you will have your CD by Easter.

*Thought about doing a mini sessions for a "Mommy and Me" session and a "Daddy and me" session around mothers day and fathers day.  I will only do if I get enough people interested in.  Totally up to you all.

*My dad suggested this and thought it was a great idea.  He said I should do a "themed" session for kids and grandparents.  It is actually a great idea because most people don't think of always bringing grandparents or setting something up with them.  It would also be a mini session for kids and grandparents.

*Newborn sessions-  Please do not wait until your baby is here to try and set something up.  I can only take so many sessions a month and they must be booked in advance just like a regular session.  How it works: I schedule you on your due date, NO I do not expect to actually do it that date, but it gives me an idea within a week or two I will have a session.  So if you are interested in a session please message me with your due date and I will get you on my calendar.  I do all newborn session when the baby is normally 10 days or younger.  I do the whole session at YOUR house unless you choose to do it elsewhere, I can also do them at my house as well.

*Weddings-  I have decided to do a few weddings again this year.  I am only taking on a limited amount so please let me know if you are interested.

I will have another post tomorrow explaining price changes for 2012.  Feedback would be great if you all would be interested in any of the above!!

Session of your photographer!!

I wanted put some of these pictures up on my personal facebook page the other day and thought I would share with you all.  I am normally always behind the camera...obviously! Well I haven't had family pictures done in awhile and thought we needed some done.  My sister always says she wants to learn to use my camera and join the business one day.  Well I had my sister behind the camera and I got to be in front.  We went to do whole family pictures as in: us 3, my parents, sister and grandma.  Well Bailey had an extreme melt down and wasn't in to it.  When I say I bribed her with everything I did! I told her I was taking things away and everything!  So when you all get frustrated with your child during a shoot, I have never dealt with a child harder than mine.  But, I came to one conclusion, she only likes pictures of just her.  She doesn't like group pictures, it must always be about her haha!  The few we got with her were after we bribed her with my buying her a baby doll and my grandma buying one! These are just a few, I haven't had time to edit anymore.  I also wanted to share these with you so some of you know who you are looking for when we meet!  So here I give you pictures courtesy of my sister, Misty!! 

 My parents!!

OK two blog post in two days!  I know I am getting crazy! :)

I always say this when I have contest, but if I had all the free time in the world and didn't have one of the cutest little girls I love spending time with I would do photo sessions FREE for everyone! Since I can't do everything for free I do LOVE getting to have contest and giveaways where someone gets the opportunity for a discounted session or even a free one!

I had a contest earlier in the year where you nominated someone who was very deserving of a free session.  There were many different reasons people were nominated.  It could be a family going through a tough time or a single mom or dad working their hardest to provide for their kids and thought they deserved a session, to a family going through medical issues, a family dealing with a parent being deployed overseas, and the list could go on.

With that said, since it is coming up on the season of giving I am going to do another contest! You can nominate your neighbor, your brother, your friend from high school, your best friend, or anyone you think deserves a session with Kristi B!

The FREE session will be a session done in 2012! It will be an hour session and can include up to five family members.  It can be a session for the whole family, just children, a couple, etc.

Please email all entries to KristiBPhotography@gmail.com.  Please send a picture of who you are nominating and why you think they deserve to win.  All entries must be sent by October 31st.  You have almost a whole month to nominate and email me!  I will share all stories on the blog and the winner will be chosen in November. I will either have everyone vote for the deserving family or have several unbiased people go over entries and decide.
