dude, check it!

Yes, I just said that. Just keep reading; act like you didn't see it.

I'm making some biiiiig changes around here!! I'm really stoked about them, as I think they will benefit everyone in the long run. Most of the changes involve the post-session process.

First of all, I will be doing away with the majority of Sneak Peeks. *GASP* I know, I know. Don't worry -- I will still provide 2-3 of my favorites immediately after your session as normal!! I will just have to force myself to cap off the sneak at those 2-3 rather than 10, 15, 20... ;) After you have viewed your proofs and placed your order, I will then include more to your Facebook folder to show to your friends.

Then comes the second change! As I upload more to your folder in Facebook, this is when I will do my blogging about our session together. I have a new format for showing pictures off in my blog, and I want to utilize it!! It's a fun way to show off your session, as Miss Kaylee here will show you:

The next thing that will be different is proofing all together! I am now offering in-home proofing at no additional cost. If you would like, I can proof your session in your home so that you and the grandparents can all sit down and view the proofs together at the same time on your tv screen!! This allows everyone to see them all at once, as well as seeing them much larger than what they are on the website! You will literally gasp at the sight of your little one's bright eyes as they are displayed larger-than-life in front of you. With in-home proofing, you also get a distinct advantage in seeing *exactly* what a 20x30 print would look like on your wall, as I will bring several different samples with me. You will have me all to yourself to help you decide what portrait combinations are best for the space in which you are living! In-home proofing will also receive a 15% discount on all orders placed during the proofing session. I will then place your photos online for any other orders as well.

If you decide that in-home proofing is for you, let me know at your session! We will schedule a date then for your proofing and you can begin to let close family members know (please, no more than 5-6 people at in-home proofing to keep things less chaotic!). If you choose not to have in-home proofing, I will put your photos online as normal.

For now, I'm signing off. I hope you are all as excited about these changes as I am!! Change is good -- it moves us forward. ;)
