A few changes coming your way in 2012...

Thank you to my wonderful clients for making 2011 such a successful year for Giggles n' Grins Photography.  I am hoping that 2012 will be an even bigger year!  With that in mind, there are going to be a few changes coming your way.

* Pricing:  Please view the 'Creative Fees' tab to see what has changed.  I strive to keep my services affordable for everyone.  I also want to keep things simple and with as little complication as possible! One thing that hasn't changed - all sessions will still come with a High-Res. DVD.

 * A $25.00 deposit is due upon booking your session to hold your appointment date and time.  This includes Mini Sessions as well.  Invoices via Paypal will be emailed upon booking your session.  I have been sort of 'up in the air' about this for a little while now.  I wanted to keep things easy and simple, and I feel like putting a deposit requirement on sessions complicates things.  However, due to too many 'no shows' for sessions last year, I've decided to try this out in 2012.  If you don't pay your deposit within 72 hours of receiving the invoice, you will lose your appointment time and it will then be available for someone else. 

* Turn around time:  Please allow 10-14 days to receive your DVD in the mail.  I strive to make every photo on your DVD look the best it possibly can.  

* Option for additional photos added to your DVD:  Under the 'Creative Fees' tab, I have listed the option to have additional photos added to your DVD for an additional fee. 

* Proofing:  Some clients have asked that they be able to pick the 20 images that are edited for their DVD.  Galleries for proofing will be available within 24 hours of your session.   

*Weddings - all wedding packages will come with the option to add a 'Before the Wedding Bridal Shoot'. I HIGHLY recommend that all of my brides take advantage of this.   Sometimes the day of the Wedding is so busy that you don't really have time to get those photos of yourself and your gown that you really want.  This shoot is usually done about a month before the wedding and is approximately 2 to 3 hours long. (2011 brides, if you want to add this to your package, contact me!)

* Boudoir Parties - Invite your girls! Each client will receive a mini-boudoir session, edited images on a DVD, and all the fun and laughter you can imagine!  Includes champagne, strawberries and personal styling.  Perfect for a batchelorette party, Valentine's Day, or just to spice up a boring week! 

I think that covers it... of course, if I think of anything else, I'll post another blog and link to where you can find it! I look forward to working with you in 2012! Lets make it a GREAT year!
