Most people know that I give proofs with everything that I photograph, included in the session fee. That simply means that I give a 4×6 print of each and every image that I take, whether it be a wedding, childrens shoot, baby shoot, family shoot, senior shoot, fashion shoot, etc! However, many people have told me that they get very frustrated with the proofs! They don’t really use them, maybe only 4 or 5 for framing, they are frustrating to deal with and attempt to thumb through to find anything, they get way more than they will ever use, etc. With a wedding, you get an average of 1000 proofs(or more, lately….poor Kara & Peter…from a few weeks back…. got 1800 prints!! yikes!!!)!! Oh…and yes, feel free to join the masses and say “what on earth would a person every do with 1000 4×6 prints!! I hear it all the time! So, wedding people have often shared that they think having 1000 prints is crazy to them, they can’t ever get through all of them, finding a specific image within the 1000 is almost impossible, toting them around for everyone to see is challenging and they just aren’t sure what they would ever do with 1000 images because you clearly can’t frame that many images! Scrapbookers love them…but that’s about it. Now, they have all mentioned that they enjoy having prints of some sort, but the general consensus is that they would MUCH prefer something that is easier to tote around, easier to show people, makes referencing prints easy, allows you to see the whole wedding quickly & easily and is all around convenient then having 1000 proofs! I do agree with everyones thoughts and opinions…and I always want to work to offer what my clients want! Soo, after doing quite a bit of research, I’m confident that I have found the coolest way to go about this and please EVERYONE!! SO, beginning September 1st…..you have the CHOICE of sticking with the traditional 4×6 proofs(because I know some people like them and that is FINE!) or INSTEAD, going with the cool proof book!!!! So, if you are a client of mine and you have a wedding coming up…and YOU KNOW you would RATHER choose the PROOF BOOK over normal proofs, PLEASE email me and say, PROOF BOOK PLEASE! (the book is 11×14 in size and the cover of the book is an image covered by a clear frosted acectate page.)

What a fantastic day I had, yesterday! I took a drive (a gorgeous drive) down to Bloomington to hang out with and photograph the Snider family!! We had such a great time and it was soo beautiful out! We just hung out, walked around IU’s campus, took fun pictures and had a really relaxed, enjoyable time! Sophie & Francesca are SUCH dolls!!! Sophie has SUCH a big, fun, exuberant personality! I just love her! (probably because she’s a little like me! HA!) Then there is little, precious 11 month old Francesca…who is an absolute angel! She is soo cool, laid back and happy all the time! She is a little serious, but I actually really liked that…and by the end of our shoot, she was clapping and having a blast! I soo enjoyed our time, Snider Fam! Can’t wait till you come back to town!
