Boudoir Photography Special | Cumming, GA
Boudoir Babes...
I'm really (really, really) excited to announce this (mainly for selfish reasons because I get to work with Katie again..). In previous years I ran Valentines Day boudoir promotions and they have been a huge hit. But I noticed a trend - that many of you were asking for this for Christmas and the Holidays. So, this year I am teaming back up with Katie from Cotton Rouge & Company (thee best make up and hair artist, ever) to deliver another amazing experience but this time its for the North Georgia area (Atlanta, Alpharetta, John's Creek, Cumming and anyone who wants to travel!). Katie is coming down for a day to join me in a boudoir marathon just in time for the holidays.
I am not announcing the date or location yet, as part of the pre-sale sale there is an exclusive discount if you book your session prior to when I do announce it. Contact me to secure your place, because spaces are limited and only the first 10 ladies will receive this discount. The event will take place in a hotel suite, to give your images that luxurious feeling I'm aiming for in your images.
You're probably wondering what the discount is, right? Starting price for 45 minutes in front of the camera, after a little wine and some amazing make up and hair styling from Katie and 10 digital files is $300. This also includes pre-session brainstorming with me so that we can make this as unique to you and your relationship as possible, and professional guidance through the whole session. An added bonus here ladies: Katie is also a boudoir photographer in Greenville, SC and she is incredible so you'll have the two of us to walk you through it. (PS: we've photographed each others boudoir sessions, so we know exactly how timid you may feel)
If you book before the big announcement, you will receive an additional 15 minutes of camera time AND 25% off your print, canvas, album or digital image order. The decision will be hard, but I'll have some samples for your to look through so you know exactly what you want to give the lover boy.
Booking must be completed by October 14th to qualify for the discount.
We're ready, are you?
The Great Bandito | Forsyth County Photographer
Since moving a few weeks ago I've found simple things to keep me busy during the day. Crafting and painting being two but also practicing tricks with this guy. Can I tell you how hard it is to hold a treat in one hand, balance an over sized camera in the other and be far enough away to catch his whole body... yeah I need an assistant next time I try to shoot a trick session with this guy. But, I had to post these pictures because he's just so cute and even though he yelled at me when I didn't treat him fast enough I still love the guy and will try again when I have some help ;)
Really bummed this last one wasn't full frame because he was doing his sitting pretty trick. Til next time, Bandit...
Wedding Photography Special | Cumming GA Photographer
It's almost engagement season, yes.. I know what you're thinking. "There's actually a season for that?" The answer is yes (no pun intended). Engagement season is historically from the end of September (fall) through the end of February (Valentines Day). According to a survey of 7,000 people across the UK, Christmas Eve is the most popular day to propose (32%), followed by Valentines Day(30%), Christmas Day(13%), and New Years Eve(9%). Halloween came in a close 4th place, which is actually the day I would want to be proposed to. I prefer the stress free "holidays" and Halloween is my all time favorite. Check out the rest of the survey results here: The Marriage Proposal Survey.
With all of this insightful knowledge in mind, it's the perfect time to announce a wedding photography promotion! Since I am new to the Cumming, GA / Forsyth County area I know I have a lot of ground to make up for, but I'm never afraid of a challenge. I am offering a limited time promotion for wedding photography at the incredibly discounted price of $899. This includes 6 hours of wedding day photography with one photographer, an online gallery to share with family and friends, and digital downloads of your images with a print release. This is a $600 savings and just the starting point. Clients can add on sessions such as engagement, bridal and trash the dress and add on products like custom photo albums, prints, and canvas gallery wraps.
I plan to run this promotion through Valentines Day, or once I hit the magic number I have in mind. So, contact me today and we'll meet up to go over all the details of your wedding and secure your wedding photography for the most important day of your life.
Fine Print: This offer is eligible for weddings within 75 miles of Cumming GA or 25 miles of Greenville, SC. For events outside of this range the offer is still available but travel and accommodations will need to be added.
Read all about it! | Cumming GA Photographer
In addition to all the other cool things going on in the world of Mirrored Images, I've added a Newsletter! This is a great way for me to organize my thoughts in one place and send it out to everyone. It's like a pretty little bow tied on top of an awesome gift, right?! Here's a teeny tiny preview of what the October newsletter looked like, when it went out earlier tonight. Click on the image below to sign up for future editions. I know you all don't want to only hear about what's going on in my world, so I am going to also include a "what to wear" guide for different seasons, posing tutorials, fun recipes, and local happenings in the Cumming Georgia and Forsyth County area. I'll choose a photography session to feature every month and discuss different topics that I specialize in, like newborn photography, maternity, and boudoir. Of course I can't pack this all into each newsletter so each month will be something different. This months big deal was the announcement of the Holiday Mini Sessions, as well as the beginning stages of brainstorming for the boudoir specials that are in the works. Yep, I know.. pretty awesome. So sign up now and stay tuned because it's about to get real...
Back at it! | Cumming, GA Photographer
Hello, hey, hi, how's it going?!
It's been a while, so I figured I would have some explaining to do. Over the last three years I've been working full time in healthcare while completing my education to become a registered nurse. As of last month I am DONE! FIN! DUNZO! I am so excited to have my life back and enjoy time with family, friends, and yes... even you my soon-to-be clients. Since finishing the RN program we moved to Cumming, GA in a beautiful area called Vickery Creek. It's pretty exciting to be here, because it's very diverse and I've already started scouting some great future shooting locations. Forsyth County is about 45 minutes north of Atlanta which gives me access to quite a large population now. Although I am 2.5 hours away from my old stomping grounds in Greenville, SC I will still offer services in that area as well. I just love what Greenville has to offer for location shoots, so it's slightly selfish but I'm okay with that. And as always, I will be available for destination weddings wherever they may take me. I love traveling and now that I have the time to not only photograph destination weddings, but to enjoy the time there I am more than ready to hop on a plane and be there for you!
With the help of my web lady (link at the bottom of the site) Rachel, we've given the web site a slightly different look just to kick start this new beginning. I went with a more simple and clean look. I am, however, keeping the logo which is a miracle for me because I change logo's just about as often as I change my hair color but this one is sticking because I love it. Yes, I have committed to a logo!
I look forward to meeting and photographing the lovely faces of Georgia, please browse through the galleries and contact me with any questions or booking needs. Cheers!
Oh Hey World | Palm Beach Photography
My last two years have been busy, so busy that I've completely neglected this poor web site. I have been keeping up with posting majority of my sessions on my facebook fan page (www.facebook.com/mirroredimages) so hopefully my beautiful clients have received their 15 seconds of fame they deserve. Either way, here a few of my fav's from the sessions over the last two years:
Palm Beach Maternity Photographer | Des + Nate {Awaiting Baby}
Des and Nate are expecting their baby girl Kiyha in January. (How awesome/cute is that name?) Dad is a huge fan of nature and being outdoors so of course I had the perfect place in mind. I met Des, Nate and their two fun boys at a garden and we walked around for about an hour until closing time. They had to kick us out, I could have photographed this beautiful momma and her family all night. I can't wait to meet that little girl and play dress up for our newborn session! Congrats to you and your family, Des & Nate.
Holiday Mini Sessions | Palm Beach Family Photographer
EDITED 12/1/12: * Due to rain, the sessions are rescheduled for December 8th from noon to three. * Well hello again! It's been a while since I've blogged, so I figured there's no better time than now to catch up on blogging and show off this years holiday mini session information. Check it! (There's also a few custom card examples, so scroll down!)
Palm Beach Wedding Photographer | What's in a first look?
Whether you're a traditional bride or not, every one should consider a First Look on their wedding day. There's a lot of buzz on the subject and, as a photographer, I feel my two cents is of value here.
Your wedding day will fly by. The moments, the memories and the special details will be overcome by anxiously awaiting your walk down the isle. Imagine if you were able to spend a few moments together before the ceremony, to be able to look into each others eyes and to absorb the moment with no one else there (except a ninja photographer). A private, romantic and emotional union that will allow all the nervousness to escape so that you are able to fully enjoy and appreciate your wedding ceremony. Imagine being able to capture this moment. The real, raw and true emotions displayed through professional photographs that will bring the memories of this day to life each time you look at them.
A First Look is a collaborative effort between the B&G and photographer (preferably Mirrored Images ;) ) to set up the perfect scene to execute this amazing moment in time. The emotion of seeing each other for the first time is still captured, but the impact is far greater during a First Look.
When deciding if a first look is right for you, remember the following:
*Your hair and make up will be fresh and picture perfect.
*You'll be able to finish majority of your wedding pictures prior to the ceremony which means you get to the reception faster!
*There are no distractions to take away from your moment together.
So there you have it. Granted, time lines don't always play out as planned but a First Look will put you at the reception mingling with your guests and starting the party off at least one hour before a bride without a First Look.
(First Look example was taken during a wedding I photographed with Sarah Rominger Photography out of Asheville, NC)
Palm Beach Newborn Photographer | Aiden {33 days new}
Lil itty bitty Aiden came into the world 8 weeks early and came out ready to see the world. Born June 4, 2012 4lbs 9oz and 16 3/4" long. Aiden is the epitome of a service baby. Dad is a Firefighter Paramedic for Delray Beach Fire Department, mom is a dispatcher for Palm Beach County Fire Rescue, and Uncle Cody is living on Fort Bragg as part of the 82nd Airborne Division. We tried to incorporate a little bit of everything into the session, including proud Dad's drum that he plays for Palm Beach County Firefighters Pipes and Drums (which are my fav out of the session) and Uncle Codys family crest tattoo on his side.
Although Aiden put up a fight, we still won (5 hours later). It was nice hanging out with the Kavanagh crew and meeting Aiden. Congrats Amber and JT :)
