Olyn and I have been busy with the new year working to give our clients amazing images, great customer service and good value. Through a lot of thought and consideration, we have made some very minor pricing changes to small prints, but we have made the lower canvas gallery wrap prices PERMANENT! We are thrilled that we can offer these lower prices for our gallery wrapped canvas, as we find its our favorite way to present final images!
We have also made pricing adjustments to our Watch Me Grow baby portrait plans and also changed some of the policies with those plans. These changes will only be in effect for new plans, so no worries if you are already in a plan with us!
We have also found some ways to change our wedding photography packages to make most packages a bit more affordable. We are currently booking remaining dates for 2013 and 2014!
Our most exciting change is to our maternity portrait offerings! We are now offering Maternity Progressions! These portraits are photographed either once each month of your pregnancy or once each trimester and they end with a portrait with your newborn. They are a beautiful way to document the changes of pregnancy and the joy of expecting!

The prints are all voted on by Tallahassee Professional Photographers and it really means so much when my peers select my work as the best, especially when there is SO much talent in our group!
