2012 Mini-Sessions

]]> http://www.liveandlovestudios.com/blog/2012/02/13/2012-mini-session-dates/feed/ 0 Katherine Yvonne Boldt http://www.liveandlovestudios.com/blog/2012/01/25/katherine-yvonne-boldt/ http://www.liveandlovestudios.com/blog/2012/01/25/katherine-yvonne-boldt/#comments Wed, 25 Jan 2012 17:03:25 +0000 Jackie Boldt http://www.liveandlovestudios.com/blog/?p=13862 Well, she’s here!  She came last week at 7:27 a.m., weighing in at 8 lbs, 2 ounces.  We are all settling in at home and trying to get adjusted to suddenly very full household. :)  I took these photos in the hospital, but I obviously plan on doing a few more fun ones at home within the next few weeks.  In going through these photos, I’m amazed as to how much she has already changed in the past week!

First of all, in two weeks I am scheduled to deliver my baby.  My plan is to not take any sessions until mid-March, unless it is for my Watch Me Grow clients.  I also plan on holding a round of studio mini-sessions on one of the last Saturdays in March.  When those are announced, I’ll probably announce the rest of the mini-sessions through at least June or July.  In addition to the mini-sessions, I plan on holding my next Photo Mama class around mid-April.

Secondly, in light of the fact that we are further expanding our family in a few weeks and I still had more business last year than I really wanted to take on, I changed up my pricing structure for 2012.  It is really the only way to cut back on my workload.  As much as I love to work with as many clients as I do, it just isn’t sustainable for my business or my personal life.  I’ve still tried to incorporate discounts for returning customers and made my mini-sessions reasonably priced, compared to my full session fees.  I will be posting an updated link to my blog titled 2012 Portrait Pricing.  If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me!

I will be posting photos of our new little girl as soon as I can. :)  Hope everyone had a wonderful time during the holidays!!

This was the wedding I have been waiting for, the sort of thing I’ve only seen in magazines. All of the details were so carefully crafted and meaningfully created to suit the overall joy surrounding their day. It was an honor to have the opportunity to photograph and I really feel that the love present in everyone shines magnificently through the photographs. Please enjoy them as much as I do. Thank you, Angela and Julie; you make my job special.

Love both of their expressions in this one!
