There's good news and bad news - but it's mostly good. Effective immediately, I have increased my prices by 10% for all items. The session fees will remain the same.
HOWEVER, when you order within 15 days of your preview gallery being posted online, you will receive a 10% discount. So, for those of you who are inclined to make timely decisions, there is no price increase.
Some of you are saying... "Oops, that's me" and others of you are wondering why I made this decision. Well, I know that it's not necessary to explain myself, but just in case you're wondering, I will anyway.
After a portrait session, I spend hours putting together client images for viewing. I also put all the images on my hard drive and I keep the client folder with all your paperwork and disk backups out around my desk. All of the images are then loaded to my web-server. When it takes weeks (and even months) for a client to decide what they want printed, I have to keep the folder out, the images on my hard-drive and the galleries on my web site. Truthfully, it's the paperwork that's killing me.
So, I'm going to reward those clients who help me keep a good workflow here in the office.
Any client who has yet to order and is already past 15 days, I'm going to give you a 15 day grace period starting today. You may have the discounted prices until July 5, 2007. Please have your order to me by June 29, 2007 and payment by July 5, 2007. If I do not answer the phone, please leave a message. I miss about 50% of client calls due to sessions or being out with the kids.
Thanks for understanding and helping me keep my sanity in the office. I hate paperwork and I love focusing on the fun stuff - like photographing!
