A few items of interest... like payment plans and tweens

Just wanted to share how my payment plans work, since someone asked the other day.... I am totally flexible, but here's what I have going now.... As long as your session fee is paid in full before your session, you can break that into weekly, biweekly, monthly, or semi-annual payments :) As for the packages, at the time of order we will work out a calendar together, you will receive your order once I have at least 1/2 of the total, and all of the future payments in my hand (like post dated checks, or a debit card number). So, there it is, it's used often, cause it works great for more people who want amazing photos! I had a blast today shooting a mini Birthday shoot for one lucky 13 year old, whose super cool Mom arranged for me to do a photo shoot with her and her 2 buds. Even luckier, my daughter was one of the buds. I un-invited the Mom. Rude of me? No, not at all, it just works better for the tweens sometimes to not have Mom around watching. Can't wait to post some of the very cool and very creative stuff we did.

I've been wanting to post before and afters for a long time. I want newer photographers to realize that my "straight out of camera" shots are not so pretty. So much happens in Photoshop.

So.... here are a couple of examples. My sisters are always saying, "you don't have to do all that editing to ours, don't worry, we don't care..." but I truly can't let them out of my office with out being edited. And yes, sometimes it takes a long time and alot of work - but it's fun! Can you tell which are the before and which are the after pics?
