A once in a lifetime moment

comes so fast, so quickly sometimes. That is so true in wedding photography. Not only is the whole day irreplaceable, but so important too are the little moments...the fleeting smiles, the heads bowed in prayer, the laughs that come from a place of such joy deep down within. In photography I realize that sometimes I don't even realize that I've caught one until later and rejoice when I've found it!! This shot is one that I treasure...the beauty of a father/daughter moment captured for a lifetime... ;)

Yes I know :::GASP::: What? Not every shot was "on purpose or carefully planned??!?!?" well...no...and that's the beauty of it...just as you can't plan every single second of the day I can't have every shot exactly planned....and it's my pleasure to catch the in-between...you know...the "life" as it happens...through my lens... ;)

Also!!! Some SDG news! Looking for ways to get a free sitting fee valued at $100??? Refer 5 new clients to me and receive your next sitting fee (after I've photographed all of them) for FREE!!! Gratis, pro-bono whatever you want to call it....it will be at no cost to you!

Another way to receive a FREE session fee: HAVE A PORTRAIT PARTY!!! I will admit that I do portrait parties a little differently than some photogs do them but I aim to please so I have it set up to benefit you the client in the best way possible. You can either chose to party with the print option or the cd option. I have some portrait parties in the works and I am so excited!! J and T will be hosting an SDG portrait party in their home for their friends and family. Each client will get an hour to use as they please (immediate family for the $100 sitting fee, extended family $15 extra per person)...prints and cds will be the same with some really great perks to be announced! The hostess will receive her sitting FREE and 50% off her portrait cd or print order!!!!! WOW!! I know!! How fun to be the hostess!!! If you are interested in hosting an SDG portrait party please contact me for details! Thank you!! (Restrictions apply, 5 client minimum in addition to host/hostess). And now...to finish my post for the night...
