Information About Booking Sessions

Wednesday, March 4th, 2009

I’ve had quite a few calls and emails lately and I thought it would be helpful to those interested if I provided the following information.

If you’d like to book a session with me, but want to know more, the links below should help.

Details This outlines the information about the sessions, i.e. what do you get when you book a session with me & what does it cost you?

My Contract This is my contract which I need signed & dated to begin taking your photos (can be brought with you to the session as long as I receive it at the beginning). Basically, it gets all of the legalize out of the way so we can have an awesome time taking your photos!

To officially book a session, please contact me and we’ll work out dates and times.

I will be posting these items on my website soon, as well, but if you stumble upon this and want to let your friends know, please tell them to hit up my blog. (The forms should be up on my website by next week, it’s just more work to update since I can’t click a button & type anything I want!) Update: Actually, I got them up tonight since my wonderful husband took the time to help me! But, still, don’t be shy to tell your friends to come to my blog!

PS sorry that I’m not posting any lovely photographs, but I should have some to put up within a few days at best or within the week (worst case scenario)!

Clothing Suggestions

Friday, February 27th, 2009

My clients have done a fabulous job of choosing trendy, flattering, & unique clothes (appropriate masculine adjectives can be substituted). : ) However, it has occurred to me, perhaps because of their greatness, that some may not be sure what to wear (or are just curious). If you have a closet full of options but you can’t decide on anything, it doesn’t mean that you have to go to the mall. Here’s a link that will, hopefully, help you with this decision.

What to Wear It is posted by another photography site out of Colorado and though I would add my own commentary to the list (who wouldn’t?), I believe it’s a solid starting point. So I’m going to add a few comments of my own to append this list, well, mostly because I, like most, have my own opinions that I’d like to add.

For example, I love hats & I hope that you love hats & will bring one with you, however, if you’re coordinating your outfit with your hat & are planning to take photos without the hat later, since we’re in Lubbock, it’s likely windy and the hat & wind combo have great potential for mussing (don’t you just love that word?) your hair. So, in this case, please, please bring your hat, but save it for the end of the session instead of the first outfit.

On the other hand, I entirely support the idea of bringing your friend, mother, sister, or whoever else is handy so they can keep an idea on little details (like the wind & hair combo), make you laugh and offer their suggestions. Likewise, I would love for you to bring your puppy, kitty or baby tiger (really, if you have one let me know because I’d love to see it), but please let me know ahead of time so we can choose pet-friendly locations.

One last comment is that I do suggest at least one more “formal” outfit – skirt, prom dress for girls, button up shirt or jacket for guys (and sorry, guys, that the link’s suggestions are less tailored to you. I’m interested in putting together my own personal recommendation list, but with school, work, etc. it’s still on the back burner).

So, I hope this has helped if you were on the verge of panic & maybe saved you and/or your parents a few bucks (so you can buy more prints or announcements from me! wink, wink).
