Ian will still be answering e-mails and doing sessions and weddings but our Blog may be MIA doing this time. If we take a little longer to answer an e-mail, please hang in there… I am sure he will be very busy while I am out 

I will be back on the beginning of April to re-start shooting Weddings and sessions and I am sure I will have a ton of photos to share!!

Before I go, I have a few specials to share though…

The $150 will include:

Feel free to share the special above with friends and family… that is a deal that you don’t want to loose!

Brrrrr … now enjoy a feel pictures of my little princess on our cold backyard.

**Here’s how it works**
“Photo Shower”  – I book a whole day just for portraits… the sessions are usually done at a park, but you are the one who will pick the location! Using the diverse scenery makes the pictures exceptionally unique.

Date : November 15th, 21st and 22nd. Availability is limited so please contact me to check on available times.

There is a non-refundable sitting fee of $50.00.

After receiving the sitting fee I will contact you to confirm reservation of your session time.
The remaining balance ($125) is due at the session.

The $175 will cover :

- Up to 1 hour of my time
- post-processing of pics
- a private online album
- a CD with all the best shots (all pictures will be in high resolution)
- FREE 11×14 print (a $35 VALUE)
Travel costs apply: $0.75/mile (both ways) from zip code 30008

An online album should be posted on my website anytime between 2-3weeks from your session. You should receive the CD with all the best shots shortly after your album has been posted on my website.

My regular price for a session (including the CD with all the best shots) is $300 + travel costs. On this special you will be only paying $175, so don’t miss out on the opportunity

I will be posting a bunch of new samples of portrait sessions soon! I had FIVE sessions this past weekends 

I also have to post samples of a Wedding that I didn’t get a chance to post yet…

We took my daughter to pick a Pumpkin at the same Pumpkin Patch that we have gone to for the past 3 years… she had a blast!

Enjoy

There are often some questions about these sessions so I’m going to answer a few of them here in case anyone is thinking of having this done!

Q: What if I’m not a size 2 with a perfect body?
A: No problem! My job as a photographer is to emphasize the good and minimize the less than perfect. Besides, your fiancee doesn’t expect you to look like a different person, and he thinks you are sexy the way you are!

Q: Where will we shoot?
A: Often, girls get a room at a nice hotel but I have done shootings at my client’s home too.

Q: What should I wear?
A: Its best to bring a wide variety of different outfits but here are some suggestions I always give to my clients :

- Lingerie
- 1 tight pair of jeans and a really tight shirt
- One of your fiancee work shirts
- Your fiancee favorite sports team jersey
- a corset, tights and high heels
- an underwear that has “bride” written on the back OR the year of
your Wedding (they usually have those at Victoria’s Secret)

Q: Do I have to shoot nude?
A: No, of course not! Unless you are in lingerie, I primarily shoot only “implied nude”, where you may not be wearing much but you can’t see anything showing that you might not want shown. You don’t even have to do this if you don’t want to–lingerie is just fine. You can also decide at the shoot what you are comfortable/not comfortable showing.

Q: But….are you going to post photos of me on your blog? I really don’t want anyone to see them!
A: No, of course not without your permission! The girls who I will post in my blog have given me the go-ahead to post those photos up here and I would never post photos of you that you were uncomfortable with.

—> The albums also make awesome Valentine’s Day gifts!

I charge $250 for a Boudoir Session and that would cover my time up to 1 1/2h and a CD (high resolution) with all the best shots.

I also have discount packages for groups. They are the following :

a minimum of two ladies having their Boudoir session done at the same date/location : $200/each

a minimum of three ladies having their Boudoir session done at the same date/location : $175/each

a minimum of five ladies having their Boudoir session done at the same date/location : $150/each

Here are some samples of one of the Boudoir Session I did yesterday. I will post more later on this week.

Enjoy!
