Changes Ahead!
November 26, 2008 | Filed Under Administrative | 1 Comment
With 2009 just around the corner, there is a big change coming up that I wanted to make sure everyone knows about!
New pricing will go into effect on December 1, 2008 - if you have contacted me and received the current price sheet, that will be honored until December 10, 2008. The new pricing structure will be completely revised, and you can choose between them to decide what fits your needs best. I don’t normally announce pricing changes like this, but since it is such a radical overhaul, I wanted to get the word out!
Many weddings, engagement sessions, and boudoir shoots to be blogged soon! My number 1 priority is getting galleries online, so I have a long list of posts to make once I am done! (Recently posted in the galleries: Andrea & Rich’s wedding, Sarah & Jason’s wedding, Samantha & Ben’s engagement session and civil ceremony, and many others!)
Hurricane Ike Status Update Update
September 29, 2008 | Filed Under Administrative | Leave a Comment
On Friday, September 26, our power was *finally* restored at our house - which is also my primary workspace. (I shoot at the studio / office in the Heights and hold meetings there — but I do business work, proofing, preparing prints, all that stuff at the house.) My birthday was on Saturday, along with Erika & Jason’s wedding, so we didn’t actually pack up and return from my parent’s house until yesterday.
This week prints will be going to the lab, DVDs will be burned, and everything will be going out in the mail. Thank you *SO MUCH* to everyone who was so patient in waiting for things! I’m finally able to send email again from my computer, so I’ll keep you posted when things are on their way!
Hurricane Ike Status Update

(Updated on Sept. 20, 2008, and again on Sept. 23, 2008)
I thought a post was in order to let everyone know my status during Hurricane Ike:
- My family is fine.
- My house is fine. Tree limbs down, but none on the house. No power as of 9/23/08 (11 days so far), so we are staying with my parents who do have power.
- None of us have internet access - not at my house or my parent’s house. My parents now have internet access. Yeah! I can only respond to email via my iPhone though, and it is somewhat tedious so I try to limit it.
- I’m still working. Matter of fact, I’ve posted the first half of the proofs from Tricia & Daniel’s wedding today.
- I’m trying to keep driving to a minimum until the gas shortage is over - I want to make sure I have gas to get to weddings. I’m starting to see gas stations without lines now, so hopefully that will pass by this weekend. Gas is much more available now, but there are still traffic lights without power, so I’m still trying to keep driving to a minimum for the time being.
- Any print orders or DVDs that need to be shipped out are currently delayed. They will hopefully go out next week, but it could be two weeks.
- Posting things online in galleries is also delayed until we get the internet access back at our house or my parent’s house. I’ve tried at public wifi access places, but they won’t allow large uploads like that. I also posted Leah & Ryan’s wedding photos last Friday, along with Erika & Jason’s engagement session.
I’m sorry about the inconvenience for everyone — trust me, I feel your pain! I’ll update this post as I know more, and keep it at the top of the page until it no longer applies.
I’ve received several emails asking about available dates for rescheduled weddings — I am rather heavily booked for the fall, but I am working to get together a list of other photographers that are available for fall dates. Please feel free to email me to get the list for a certain date, even if I am booked. I’m happy to do anything I can to help out!
My currently *booked* 2008 dates are:
- Saturday, September 20
- Saturday, September 27
- Friday, October 3
- Saturday, October 11
- Sunday, October 12
- Saturday, October 18
- Saturday, November 8
- Saturday, November 22
- Saturday, December 20
Good News | Bad News

Hi Everyone! Good news! My hosting company has finally figured out what the problem was that was causing me to not be able to send emails for over a day or two. (I hope it is fixed, because no email sending really stresses me out.) I was able to receive email, just not send.
The bad news? I now have 2+ days worth of email to respond to. Eep. So if you’re waiting for an email from me and you haven’t heard anything, I promise - I’m going through them as fast as I can!
If you don’t hear from me by Saturday, please resend your message. We think no emails were lost, but just in case. Thanks so much!

Revising things behind the scenes, and there have now been updates to the About and the Frequently Asked Questions pages, and the addition of an Investment and a Behind the Price page. Hopefully all of these will provide you with a wealth of information and help you decide if I am the best fit for your wedding photography needs.
Your feedback is welcome - let me know if there is anything I’ve overlooked and you would like me to add!
Wait a Minute Mr. Postman!

My email has gotten a little bit crazy - I’m not sure if my laptop is still on Vegas time or if the problem is with my hosting company, but either way it is being especially fussy about sending email over the past 48 hours. I’m having problems sending from the iPhone too, which is my fallback option when the server is acting up.
So if you haven’t heard back from me - I promise, I’m trying! I have emails from while I was in Vegas to answer still also - I didn’t pay the $17 a day for WiFi while I was there, so I know I’ll be writing a lot of emails over the next few days!
Feel free to call me if you need to reach me - otherwise, the hosting company and my tech support (aka Mike) are working on sorting out what the problems are and I should be back on track when I return from our Easter holiday!
