Since becoming a FULL time photographer nearly a month ago, the REAL world of a home based business has smacked me in the face!  I now know that all that time spent at my previous full time job, has been claimed by daytime photo-shoots, education, editing, laundry, policing fights between the kids, and way much more.  No, my house is not clean yet....

I have been so busy lately that I feel the need to simplify where I can.  I am requesting that all future shoots have the CD mailed.  I don't have that handy pick up location anymore, and I simply cannot make deliveries to places all over town.  Pick ups are not feasible because I may not always be in the studio.  I am implementing a $5 shipping fee on all shoots.  I will have my own postal scale and will mail out daily.  This will result in more efficient turnaround times for you, and it will cut down on confusion for us all. 

I am also asking that all mini shoots deposits ($30) be paid for at the time of booking.  This can be done on PAYPAL or through the mail (I still accept checks, money orders, and cash).  Refunds are only given if the photographer cancels the session.  This can be applied to another shoot if the cancellation is made within a reasonable time frame (1 week).  I have a lot of people request to book all shoots without regard to their own schedules.  This results in a lot of late cancellations.  I will contact you about time preferences after I receive payment.  When I post on FACEBOOK or send out an email, you just reply "SOLD" with your email address or "SOLD will mail".  I will then invoice you and contact you about time preference.  PAYPAL is very simple, and you do not have to have an account set up to use it.  If you don't wish to use PAYPAL, you will have to mail the payment ASAP as I cannot book you until payment is received.  Keep in mind that once the sessions fill up, it will be closed. 

This summer is going to be great.  I will have a lot of opportunities to work with you, and I'm looking forward to it!  I will launch August Mini Sessions soon.

Thanks, and If you have any questions, please feel free to call (601-479-9879).
