My new pricing

Well, I've got a lot of things in the works that I can't wait to share once completed!  I'm working on a website!  I've got a new logo you can see below (and which you'll see all over my Facebook page).  I've got my first maternity shoot to blog about. But in the meantime, here's some information about pricing.  Remember, if you booked a session with me prior to June 30, you'll still get the "introductory rate" session and CD of images for a combined price of $150. But, effective July 1, I'll be offering the following prices and packages:


Baby Bear Photography Pricing 
(effective July 1, 2011; subject to change)

Standard Session Fee: $125

A full session can last up to two hours!  We'll meet at your home or a park, or decide on another outdoor location for the shoot.  Up to five people (or pets) can be included in the photos.  I will process your photos in the "digital darkroom" using top-of-the-line editing software and make approximately 30 digital proofs available for viewing online (gallery is password-protected).

Prints and digital files are not included, unless otherwise stated, and must be purchased separately (see below).

Additional charges: $40 for travel more than 30 miles beyond the 07821 ZIP code; $25 for each additional person (or pet) above five.

Please note the session fee is non-refundable and due at the time of booking, but print packages can be chosen after the images are made available online.

Loveable Brothers

A couple weeks ago, I did another shoot with little boys!  I went to school with the mother of the little boys, Sophia.  We hadn't seen each other in fifteen years or so, but reconnected on facebook!  So I was thrilled when she asked me to do a shoot.  Sophia's little guys are 4 months and 18 months!  What cuties!  We did the shoot mostly in her beautiful backyard in Hunterdon County. 

This is Benjamin, the little guy! 

And here's Benjamin's big brother, Daniel playing with Daddy!

Energetic Boys {Frelinghuysen Arboretum, Morristown, NJ}

I am way behind with this blog--sorry, it's just so much easier to share photos on facebook.  Apologies to all you non-facebook people!  I'm playing catch-up now!

Back in June, I did this shoot at the Frelinghuysen Arboretum in Morristown, NJ.  It was a beautiful day and a great location for a shoot!  There was lots of space to run around which is important when doing a shoot with three boys!  I had a blast running around with three energetic, adorable boys.  The twins are four years old.  How cute are they?


And here's one of their handsome older brother (7 years old)!
