First Session of 2009!

This sweet boy is just over 6 months old and was so happy during our shoot. He had a ready smile and those big, wide eyes followed my every move. His mom said he is a very contented baby and it really showed!

2009 Valentine mini photo cards are here!

For those thinking ahead, I've uploaded some of my early Valentine photo card offerings. These are sized between 2x3 and 3x4.

If you've had a session with me in the past year, just give a call and let me know which image(s) you'd like in which card and I'll get them underway. Minimum 50 card order (enough for 30 classmates plus friends/family). This is a perfect opportunity to get any additional orders in as well because my minimum re-order amount is $50.00.

For new clients here's your chance to include a few Valentines along with your regular order!

Pricing on Valentine mini photo cards available on request.

Who is this Ingrid Mann and why should I hire her?

C'mon, you can admit it - that's what you're thinking! :)

That's exactly the reason I've added a link to a few of my client's comments. You'll find excerpts from notes and emails that I've received about my work from several different sources. Click here: Why Ingrid?

I always appreciate the kind words from clients when they're pleased with the results. Gotta love a happy client!

Happy Valentines Day

Ok so it's not quite Valentines Day but in order to have your children's custom photo cards ready, we'll have to get the images sorted out well in advance.

If you've already had a shoot in the past year, give me a call and let me know which image(s) you'd like in your cards. This would also be a good time for any re-orders of prints as I've implemented a minimum re-order requirement of $50 this year.

If you're looking to book a new session, it should be completed by January 19th in order to have your cards ready and in your hands by February 1.

I'll be adding samples over the next few days for your consideration...stay tuned!

Ta Daaaaaaaaaa!

I can't believe it - it's finally done! I must say I'm a lot better at taking pictures than I am at designing websites! I've been working on the online versions of these for days and days.

And now....I give to you....

The Investment Guide - The information packet that covers most of your initial questions

The Session Guide - Once you've booked, you'll find tips for a great session here

The Ordering Guide - Things to remember as you place your order

These will be linked from my website shortly as well.

Please drop me a line if there's anything at all that's unclear or if you have any questions. Just because I wrote it doesn't necessarily mean it makes sense! :)

Pricing and policies are in effect immediately.

I look forward to meeting and working with you!

Drum Roll please...

It's soooo close....I'm this close to being done with a complete overhaul of product offerings, pricing, policies, etc...

Wait until you see how it's presented - I'm LOVING the format!

A few key points to the overhaul:

1. I had planned to move ahead with full pricing this year but with the tough times we're entering into I've decided to move my prices accordingly. There are very few products that have doubled in price like I had planned.

2. I'm implementing a referral program for those who help promote my business to their family/friends when it results in a photo session with a new client for me. $20 print credit on your next session - refer 4 new clients and get $100 in print credit!

3. A minimum order of $200 is required. That's certainly not a stretch for most but necessary for my editing time.

4. Seven sample wall galleries for your consideration, taking the guesswork out of the design.

5. Tips on clothing for your session, helping your child during their session, etc.

6. Collections - 6 to choose from - 3 Print collections and 3 Digital File collections

Lots and lots and lots of good stuff....soon....very, very soon....keep the drum roll going...
