2010: SIMPLIFY

Simplify is the word that best describes the changes here at SKP for 2010.  Being the parent of an ambitious 3 year old and a mobile 8 month little guy, I understand how crazy and hectic life can get.  Once you have children, it seems like every month goes by faster than the last!  So in order to simplify and enhance your experience with SKP, we have made some very exciting changes for 2010 by designing some packages with your family’s needs in mind.

Now, when you book a session with SKP, you will have your choice between two different types of sessions.  There are unique differences between the two.  I’m most excited to bring to you Sweet & Simple Sessions…giving you more for your money in half the time!

 SWEET & SIMPLE (mini session):  $475

This is something you all have been waiting for!  For the first time, SKP is offering DIGITAL images as part of your session!  This package is short and sweet - with your session lasting about 30 minutes.  It’s perfect for the smaller milestones that could easily fly by in the year, but deserve to be documented (first year,18 months, maternity, mother/daughter day, etc).  Of course anyone can take advantage of this mini session - no milestone required :)  The best part - ALL your images straight to you on a disc within 2 weeks of your session.  Talk about short, simple and totally sweet!

 

For $475, you will receive:

 

 * a 30-45 minute session for up to 3 people (babies must be at least 4 months old)

 

*Session location, date, & times will be announced in advance (your choice from pre-determined dates)

 

*ALL of your digital negatives on CD.  Generally there will be more than the typical 25-30 files…much more!  These files will receive basic edits (basic adjustments to enhance contrast & brightness, but no cropping or blemish removal, no sharpening, etc), but no further retouching.  (See below for examples)

 

*Printing release for your digital images (files are printable up to 8×10) - giving you permission to have them printed wherever, whenever!  No more pressure to make a split-second decision between a 5×7 or an 8×10 for Aunt Sue…just take your CD & decide at your own leisure.  Printing recommendations will be included with your CD - making it super easy & stress-free.

 

 *1 fully retouched fine art 8×10 enlargement of the artist’s favorite image from your session.  Your enlargement will be printed on metallic paper with linen texture & mounted for longevity.

 

*Of course, the option to purchase additional enlargements or boutique items (which are all fully retouched)

…and the best part of all?  QUICK TURNAROUND! Your image CD will be shipped or hand-delivered to you within 2 weeks from your session!!

 

RELISH & ENJOY (deluxe session):   

 

For those wanting to capture the larger milestones in true SKP form you will want to book a Deluxe Session. These packages are designed for those special occasions that you want to slow down and relish (family photos, newborn, any group of 4 or more, etc).  This slow-paced session is 1-2 hours of relaxed fun - focused on your family or little one.  We’ll have plenty of time for snacks, dress-up, storytime, games…even bath time if you wish! 

 

 

 

 

 Deluxe Sessions will be offered on a very limited basis, so expect availability for these sessions to fill up quickly.  Book 3-4 months in advance to ensure your date is available.

 

Here’s the difference between the digital negatives (basic edits only) you’ll receive from a Sweet & Simple Session vs. the fully retouched, fine art prints you’ll receive from a Deluxe Session:

I knew when I left their home that the images would be magic.  Not because the people in them were beautiful (although they were), or their home was immaculate (although it was) - but because the love they felt towards one another was so tangible, you couldn’t help but see it on film.  It’s the kind of love you just want to bottle up & keep forever…and I guess - in a small way - we did just that with these images. 

Enjoy your sneak peek N & J!  You will have lots more gorgeous images in your gallery - this is just a small sampling!  25 comments from friends & family = a 5×7 on me

A little over a year ago, I hired a rockin’ assistant named Katie.  I’ve had the pleasure of photographing her gorgeous family several times, this being one of my favorite sessions.  I always have fun being around her family, and this morning was no different.  The little babe you see in this session is now three, and looking quite grown up these days!  Here’s a super-duper sneak peek for her momma…who continues to make SKP run smoothly, and is forever making me look good :) 

Welcome to THREE, Miss L!  I love you!

SKP is back in business for the new year, and what better way to kick things off than photographing this lil cutie :)  Her family successfully bid on & won their session with me at a benefit last year.  I was so glad to finally meet them after months of communicating over email.  Such a warm, friendly family - and very, very enamored with their little Lilly

When I asked L’s mom if she was walking yet, she said no - but that she’s constantly standing on her tiptoes.  It’s the little things they do that we too soon forget - and now they have it recorded forever.
