I know this may sound absolutely crazy, but I am giving away a free Birth Story. Yes, it is true I am giving away a free birth story. If you guys didn't know, for the last few years I have been trying my hardest to get into birth photography. Birth photography has hit my heart hard, and it is time to finally push my way into it.



Therefore, I have decided that it is time and I want to give a Birth Story away to one lucky Expecting Mother. If you are expecting and intersted in Birth Photography all you need to do is email me with the following infomation:

1. Name
2. Estimated Due Date
3. Hospital, Birthing Center, or Home & Name:
4. Why you should win a Birth Story

Please email me tiffanyringrosephotography@gmail.com with the subject line "Birth Story" in order to be considered a full entry. Any subject lines that do not say "Birth Story" instantly will be disqualified.

If you have further questions you may also contact me via email. :)

A few changes are coming :)

I wanted to make everyone aware of the changes that are happening here at Tiffany Ringrose Photography.

1. Over the last 5 years, I have not taken a set day off from working. If I am not shooting or editing, I am doing behind the scenes work to make everything awesome for you guys. However, starting this week I have decided that I will no longer be shooting, editing, or doing that behind the scenes work on Sundays. Sunday's will be my day to spend with my family and it will be the only day (unless something comes up) where I am dedicating the entire day to my family.

2. My summer availability is VERY slim. I will shoot evenings at sunset only (730pm) unless there is a special event that I plan. I will shoot Monday-Saturday. I am only doing evening sessions due to the lighting, which sunset sessions are the best. (Saturdays I will do early morning sessions as well)

Looking to book a session with me? Contact me to schedule your date and time. Just remember I am filling up quickly!

Welcome 2014!

Happy New Year! I can not believe that it is already 2014, in fact it is a few days in to the new year. It is crazy how fast 2013 went. Seemed like I was writing a blog just like this welcoming you all into 2013 not too long ago, but here we go again. Welcome to 2014!

With 2014 flying in so quickly, I had to take the last few weeks of 2013 and see what needed to be changed for 2014. A lot happened in 2013 and I couldn't thank you all enough for all the amazing things that happened. Looking back, I have seen a lot of things that needed to be changed, but didn't want to change them in the middle of the year. Therefore, it is now time to change these things. Some of them are amazing changes and I promise you that you all will love them. However, there are some changes that must be mad in order to make the business run smoothy. I am not going to roll out all the changes at once, but the most important ones I will roll out tonight (right before I give you the winners for the contest!). So here it is:

Non Refundable Retainers: 

Starting in 2014 I will now be requiring a $50 non refundable retainer to hold your session date and time. You will have 24 hours to pay this retainer by cash, credit or paypal. This retainer will be for regular sessions. The $50 will be used towards your session as a print credit.

Reschedule Policy:

As of 2014, I must have a 24 hour notice if you must reschedule your session for any reason. All regular sessions will be allowed a 1 time reschedule at no additional charge. If you must reschedule more than once, there will be a reschedule fee added to your invoice. I understand that emergencies come up, but each reschedule causes other clients not to have a session. Now unfortunately I am unable to reschedule any free sessions. So please, pick the best day and best time for your free sessions. Please do not reschedule your session because your child has hurt themselves and has a bump on their face; this can be fixed post processing.

Late Policy:

Looking back at 2013, this was a huge issue for me. As of now, if you are late for your sessions please let me know. Each one of you will have my contact information and will be able to reach me. Each session is between 90-120 minutes and will start at the time the session is scheduled for even if you are late. Now, if I arrive to the location and your still not there after 15 minutes; I will leave. If I leave the location after 15 minutes because you are not there, you will lose your session date, time, retainer and there will not be a rescheduled sessions.

Refund/Re-shoot Policy:

Due to the nature of the business, I am unable to give a refund for any session. However, I am able to do re-shoots if there is a valid reason that a re-shoot is needed. Please note: I will not re-shoot because of clothing choice. I will not also re-shoot because your child has a bump because that can be fixed in post processing.

Before I overload you guys with information, I will stop. Over the next couple of week, I will be rolling out some more awesome information for you guys. I will have great news on pricing coming up too, as well as some awesome new things that are coming for Tiffany Ringrose Photography.

I look forward to speaking with you & capturing your memories in 2014!
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me for any reason.

PS: A couple weeks ago, I took a huge marketing step and purchased a bran new website. If you haven't checked it out, feel free too. Please note: the website is not officially completed, but will be soon!  http://www.tiffanyringrose.com

PSS: It has come to my attention that many of you don't know exactly what print credit it.  Over the next week or so, I will be adding a FAQ section to my website to answer all of the questions you may have.

{Black Friday}

I can not believe that it is already 3 before Thanksgiving, where has this year gone? It seems like just yesterday we were entering into 2013 and now it is almost 2014. In honor of all the amazing things that have happened with Tiffany Ringrose Photography this year, I have decided to release my Black Friday and Cyber Monday deal early! Yes, that is right I am releasing my deal today!

Just last weekend I did my very first Vendor show at the Clareceville High School Holiday Craft and Vendor Show. I struggled for almost a week on what to order as samples for that show. It then finally hit me, what about ordering some products that I don't yet offer? That is when I decided that I wanted to offer Mounted prints! Before you ask why mounted prints, let me explain. These mounted prints are amazing! They are more steady then a regular print and you can even add a ribbon to them and hang them from the ribbon!  In fact, I am ordering some for not only my office where I have my clients come in for their ordering session, but for my home as well! I just love these and they look great!

Therefore, I have decided that for this year's Black Friday and Cyber Monday's deal I am including a FREE Mounted 8x10 with every regular priced session that is paid for and booked! That is a $50 value! The great news is, your sessions doesn't have to be completed (shot) until January 31, 2013! (well, you have until then to complete your session with me) The other awesome news is, you can even purchase this as a gift for someone for the Holiday! Oh and I am not restricting the type of sessions either. So, if you have a friend that is welcoming a new one next month and would love to purchase this for them, great you can! :)

 

If you have any questions, please don't hestiate to ask. I am here to answer all your questions.

and..

Happy Holidays everyone! 

{Lifestyle Birthday}

I was pleased to photography this cutie back in March for her Easter session. However, during her session she wanted nothing to do with the camera. Out of her entire session, we got maybe 13 photos that were able to be saved and mom LOVED the ones we got. So, we decided to try again for her birthday..but this time we were doing a lifestyle session! Let me just tell you, it is so much better photographing a child in their natural element compared to a studio because I promise you they will corporate much better :)

Kaleb {3 months old}

In the end of June we welcomed Kaleb into this world. I was the lucky photographer chosen to do his Fresh 48 sessions and his newborn session. Which I loved all the way, especially since they were my first real newborn session. After 3 months, it will time to snuggle with Mr. Kaleb once again for his 3 month session. Within those 3 months he changed so much & had gotten so big! During our session, it was bitter cold, the grass was wet and he was tired. So, we also decided to do some of just mommy and daddy. Hope you guys enjoy them :)

Mason High School Senior Class of 2014 {Kaitie}

Remember Baby Kaleb from back in June? Well, guess what this is beautiful senior is Kaleb's aunt! The day that Kaleb was born, I remember her pulling me aside asking me if I would do her senior photo's because she really loved my work. Of course, I was already excited about the birth of Kaleb, and at that moment I got really excited because she would be the second senior I have EVER shot! Yes, that is right...I never shoot seniors so she was the second one. I spent months preparing for her session and when the day(s) finally came I knew I could rock this..well, let's just says she ROCKED it! Kaitie is a natural when it came to her session. She knew exactly what I wanted before I could even tell her.

The week before her session, Kaitie sent me a message letting me know that she wanted to do some of her session on a farm with a horse. At first I was scared, not because of the horse, but because I have NEVER done anything like this before. Turns out, it was beyond amazing and we loved it!

In the end, I had so much fun with Kaitie that I have decided to add Seniors as an everyday (or seasonal) sessions! I have always had pricing for seniors, but I never marketed for them. However, you will see more beautiful and amazing seniors next year for the Class of 2015!

Baby Kaleb {6 days new}

Back in October of 2012, I was randomly scrolling through Facebook and I came upon a post by my cousin. At first I did not pay attention at what the post said because I hardly ever see him post, then it hit me..read it read it. What I did not know at that time was that post would change our lives forever. At that very moment, I found out that my cousin (who is a year young than myself) was expecting! The crazy thing was, I was still pregnant with my daughter.

As the pregnancy went on, I spoke with his girlfriend about maternity photos and at first she did not want them. As her pregnancy went on she decided for Maternity photos. At that moment I gifted both of them a maternity session, a fresh 48 sessions (because she was 100% against me shooting her birth..I really tired too LOL) and a newborn session! When the day arrived, all I could do was sit by my phone and wait for the news. Finally I received the news about the birth of baby Kaleb, and we decided when I would make my appearance to shoot their Fresh 48 Session. (which is already posted) During that session, we decided on a date for Kaleb's newborn session. For those 6 days, I was go gitty and could not wait to be able to snuggle him for his session. In the end, I fell in love with his session (as I always do) and I also think mom and dad did too!

Welcome to the World Baby Boy

Do you remember me talking about a friend of mine that asked if I would do newborn photos of her son when he arrived? Well, if you don't do not worry! A while ago, a friend asked me if I would be interested in capturing her son once he was born because she did not like the hospital photographer, and of course I agreed! At this time, I only had done one Fresh 48 sessions and was really excited because I love doing them. Right before I got to the hospital that morning, baby boy was taken in for surgery, so we didn't get to do a whole long because I did not want to put him in much pain.

I do know that mommy, daddy, sister, grandma and baby boys aunts and uncles all were happy at the images that we did get. After shooting my last two Fresh 48 sessions, I fell in LOVE! It is always a blessing to share some time with the new parents and their family!

Baby Kaleb's Newborn Hospital Session

For the last 9 months I have been dying to get my hands on this super adorable baby boy! Since the day I was informed that momma was pregnant, I couldn't keep my mind of him. I was constantly asking mom how she was feeling and finally the day had come. On Tuesday I got the news that they were sending her in on Wednesday morning & that evening handsome baby Kaleb made his appearance into the world.

This session was not like anything I have ever done, but let me tell you I am beyond happy I was able to do his hospital photos. In fact, since doing this session I have fallen in love with them. Hospital sessions may be my favorite type of session yet, and I am thankful that Mommy & Daddy allowed me to photograph their handsome bundle of joy.

And on Wednesday, I will be able to snuggle up with Mr. Kaleb one more time for his newborn session! And guess what? I am doing a home newborn lifestyle session, something else I have wanted to do for a long time! Be on a lookout for his newborn session :)

3 month lifestyle session

On Wednesday, my beautiful little girl will turn 4 months old! I can not believe how fast the last 3.5 months has gone by. Since she is about to turn 4 months, I knew it was time to do her 3 month session. If I did not do the session this weekend, I would be unable to capture here for the 3rd month of her life.

So for this session, I decided to do a home lifestyle session. Well, let me just say for this part of her session we did a home lifestyle session! Actually, her session was more of a home lifestyle nursery session as the whole session was taken place in her nursery.

To be honest, I was a little nervous of the outcome because we all know that when we attempt something new it never comes out perfect. I am not saying that this session was 100% perfect because there is never a session that is that perfect. What I am saying is that this session came out much better than I would imagine it would of came out. I can not give myself full credit as I had my wonderful husband's help me & a wonderful happy baby girl the entire session.

If you love how these turned out and are interested in a home lifestyle session, I am doing a special for them. Please contact me for more information & to schedule your session.

A Spring Break Session

During Spring Break, I had the chance to hang out with 3 wonderful children. When I say wonderful, I seriously mean wonderful. These 3 children hold a special place in my heart. I am not only their photographer, I am also their nanny. Each one of the kids are brilliant and wonderful. I had such an amazing week with them last week, but our session together was even more amazing! With with any further due, I would like to present Nick, Alex & Bella!

Spring Mini Sessions

The Last couple of days, I have been tossing the idea of Spring Mini Sessions up in the air. I was not sure if I wanted to do them this year, but after posting on the facebook page and getting a good response out of them I decided that I will try once again for them. Please note that these sessions do not have a "theme" and can be used for children, family, couples, etc. (they can not be used for newborns, seniors, weddings & special events as there will not be enough time)

I have 3 different options for the mini's this time, which is something I never do. If you are interested in a sessions please contact me because they will fill up fast. I am devoting my entire day to these minis, so I do have more than 4 spot. However, in order to do them I need at least 3 bookings.

There will be a rain out date in case of a rain out. I am hoping that we are not rained out, but I must be prepared. That day will be Saturday May 25, 2013. Now, with that being said, Spring Mini Sessions will be held on Saturday May 18, 2013. The location is not yet determined but I will be announcing that very soon!

Lastly in order to secure your spot, your session must be paid in full. Also note that if you decide you want to upgrade your package, please let me know ASAP that way I can schedule according.

Thank you<3
