    2009 Weddings

    Sunday, November 23rd, 2008

    I just wanted to blog about this quickly.  It’s getting about the time for bookings to come in for the 2009 wedding season!  I can hardly wait.  :)

    My prices for this coming year are starting at $1500 which includes a print credit, all the digital files and 5 hours of wedding coverage.  If you would like more details drop me an email ellenicolphotography@twcny.rr.com anytime or give me a call 315.376.0167 M-F 10am-6pm.  I would love to sit down with you and go over all the details, show you samples and get to know you!

    I’m planning on doing a dedicated wedding website within the next month or so to launch in January 2009.  It’s going to be great!  It will be an easy way for my clients to view my portfolio, check out my prices and learn why I love doing wedding photography!  Once things slow down around here I will be able to get it done!  ;)

    On a more personal note our housing project is coming along nicely!  Did I mention that I will have my very own space for a studio inside upstairs???!!!  It’s going to be so great.  No one who looks at my images knows that I use a space in my basement and my office is in my living room!!  LOL  It’s not very convenient having everything spread out all over and invading my families space when I have clients here.  I love my clients and I can’t wait to be able to sit with them in my warm, inviting new studio space.  I’m not sure when it will be ready but it’s really going to be great when it is!!

    I also did our Christmas card photos the other day!!  I will post them on the blog after I send them out in the mail.  I love making my own cards and it’s a challange to come up with a more original idea each year.  We alternate with the pictures for the cards each year and this year it was just the kids.  They turned out amazing!  That’s all I’m giving you for now!!!  Watch for them within the next few weeks, I normally like to get my cards in the mail by the first week of December.  I don’t want to ruin the surprise for my family and friends :)

    By the end of day 4 they had all the roof done. As of today they have paper on the side and most of the soffet etc done to keep it dry during wet weather. I just haven’t had a chance to upload those pictures yet.

    I am so amazed at how fast everything came together. It’s really great! There is a lot of work yet to be done but the Lord just blessed this past week with the timing of the weather being so nice while they had everything torn apart.

    There will be lots more to come in the following weeks so make sure you check back!

    Little D fell asleep at the end of the session. He was so tired. Mom and I just sat there for a few minutes watching him sleep and so I snapped a few.
