Warm Weather "Lifestyle" Special

As winter ends (or is supposed to end) the warm weather brings us closer to spring. (or what is supposed to be spring) It is finally time for me to break out my gear and start shooting once again. When is the best time for me to do this? That's right Spring Break!

With that being said, I am doing an awesome introductory (Welcome to Spring) special. However, this special is only good this weekend. (March 27-March 30th) I am not limiting the number of sessions, nor am I giving times for each day. I am open all weekend for sessions.

Usually, I state that my specials are for a certain "event". For example I usually state this special is for only children, or only family. However, I am not doing that this time. These sessions are open to any type of session that I shoot, for the most part. (I do apologize but weddings, newborns, seniors and hospitals are not included) Now, there is one conditions to these sessions and that is that the session must take place within 20 miles of 48152.

And now for what you have been waiting for; the special:

$50 (plus tax) gets you the following:
  • Half hour session (within 20 miles of  48152)
  • Session Disk (with at least 10 images)
 Sessions are NOT limited, unless of course I completly fill up. If you have any further questions or want to book your sessions, please contact me.

I look forward to your questions!

The Big Announcement

Last night I was talking with a friend when she asked if if I would be interested in taking some photo's of her daughter after she was born on Monday afternoon. Since, my daughter was born back in December I have had a urge to get into Birth Photography. Something about birth photography has gotten me hooked, but I can not explain exactly what.

Although, I am not ready to shoot a live birth just yet; I have decided that I would start with something a little different than Birth Photography. As of last night, I am now offering "Newborn Hospital Photography" I get it, when you think of Hospital Photography, you think of the company that the hospital contracts out and charges an arm and a leg. Don't get me wrong, a lot of parents want the Hospital Photographer because they want to capture their new additional at that moment. I get it, I really do. As a new mom, I did not use the Hospital Photographer; instead I was up out of bed photographing my daughter. That is why I decided that "Newborn Hospital Photography" would be a great addition to my services. I am not a photographer that usually does Newborn Photography, but this is different. This would be just like my other sessions, it's a lifestyle session. It is a session documenting the new babies first days here on Earth.

So, with that being said; I am doing Portfolio building for my new service of Newborn Hospital Photography. Once, I get set with this service and I fully grasp the low lighting environment I will officially launch my Birth Photography Service. Therefore, for a limited time and a limited amount of sessions (I have not decided how long, or how many) I will be offering a "Portfolio building" special price.  As of now this special price is $150 and includes the following:

For $150 you will receive:
  • 1 Hour Session in your Hospital Room/Nursery (if allowed)
  •  Photo's of the newborn, photo's with mom/dad, photos with sibling, photos with grandparents, etc
  • An Image Disk with print rights (this is not a copyright release, this is a release to print images) 
  • 25% off print packages and Specialty items (Gallery Wraps, etc.)

Like I said, this is a limited time and for a limited amount of sessions. If you are interested in a Newborn Hospital Session, please contact via email.

Introducting

Last night, I was playing around in Photoshop and came across some awesome 10x20 storyboard templates. Playing around made me realize that storyboards are a wonderful product. So, I would like to introduce you to the newest product(s) to Tiffany Ringrose Photography!

Please Note: This is not my only storyboard. I do have other templates for the 10x20 as well as templates for 5x5, 10x10.  I also can make my very own storyboards. I can not wait to start offering these products when the new pricing takes affect.

New Pricing

It has come to my attention that I have not blogged much in the last couple of months. It is kind of crazy seeing that I promised to start blogging more often, and it turns out I am back to the way I used to blog. Fear no more, I am back for real when it comes to blogging and it starts now.

As I say that, I would like to announce that I have officially found a new amazing printing lab! My last lab was great, but I did encounter some problems with them that will be fixed with this new lab. Which means, no more bent images during shipping. I will no longer have to contact them and have them replace my order because my images are bent! Now, with that being said I do have to let everyone know that I did have to rework prices once again. Therefore, new pricing does go into affect starting this Monday March 25, 2013. If you would like to lock in the current pricing you have until the end of tomorrow evening to book your session with your deposit. (Sunday March 24, 2013)

If there are any questions at all regarding the new pricing, please contact me via email at: tiffanyringrosephotography@gmail.com

Please note: These are portrait sessions only. Contact for weddings, special engagements, seniors, product modeling and lifestyle sessions. 
 
Now, like I said before I do promise to start blogging more often to keep you guys updated. I really do mean that this time!

Hope to talk to you soon,
Tiffany

Happy New Year

First and Foremost, Happy New Year Everyone!

Anyways, we are only 15 days into 2013 and there are so many things happening here. First, if you didn't notice I have revamped this entire blog. New design, new cover photo. Hope you all like it because I do. I think it fits my personality as a photographer, what do you think? 

Next, if you did not notice I have been off on my Maternity leave. I am excited to get back shooting, but I must be cleared by my doctor first. Here are the reasons: After giving birth to my Daughter (who will be a month old Thursday) I was re-admitted to the hospital for postpartum preeclasima. I am currently on 5 different medications, but was told I will be off of them by my 6 week appointment. Let's just hope this actually happens. During my time off, I have been able to capture some of my daughter's milestones (Christmas)  and was able to kind of shoot a few 3 week photos. However, during the 3 week session my camera decided to completely give up on me and I am currently out of a camera. However, HAVE NO FEAR I will have a camera because I am going to buy a new one! Woah, I finally get a new camera because this time I don't only want one, I NEED one! 

Now, I would like to introduce you to my daughter: Emmalynn Grace Ringrose. She was born on December 17, 2012 at 6:39pm. She was 7 pound 12 ounces and was almost 21 inches long!



I did want to let everyone know that as of January 1, 2013 my Wedding prices have increased just a little bit. Again do not fear, if you book on or before January 31, 2013 you will receive $100 off and a FREE 16x20 print. Don't worry if you are unable to book by then, I plan on doing another special later on in the season. I also want to point out that as of February 1, 2013 my portrait prices will also be changing. However, if you book on or before January 31, 2013 you will receive the 2012 portrait prices.

As I do each and every year I want to do contest each month, but as always I do not know what the contest should be. All I do know is the following

February: Valentines Day?
March: Easter (it's on the 1st of April)
April:
May: Mommy & Me
June: Daddy & Me
July:
August: Fun in the Sun?
September:
October:
November: Christmas
December:

Any suggestions are welcomed. You can comment here, email me or facebook me.

I look forward to a great 2013!

Long time, no posts

Hey fans,

Sorry it has been a while since I last posted. Okay, let me not lie... It's been more than a while.

Recently, I have been trying to figure out the best way to contact you guys via Facebook. Guess what? It's not working very well. In fact, most of you are not even seeing my posts. I am trying my hardest to find a better way to reach you. Do you think that this blog would be the best way? Would you be willing to check it weekly to see what is happening?

Next, I want to remind you that November 30, 2012 is my last day of shooting before my maternity leave. If you have a session scheduled at the end of the month, no need to worry we will get your photos edited and ordered before I have our little girl!

Until then, I have also been trying to figure out what is the best way for your holiday photos. Does anyone have any suggestions? Do you want cards, a disk, prints or all three?

Lastly, if you have ideas leave a comment and ill consider them. If I choose your idea then you will get a free session and 25% off prints, disks and holiday cards.

Hope to hear from you soon!
