A New Year...

My New Year's resolution:

Not to hibernate this winter.

This is going to be a tough one for me, especially now since it is a bitter cold witch goddess outside.

And the wood stove is sooo warm, and snuggly...and did I mention warm?

No, I can't give in! I bought a pair of snowshoes this summer at a yard sale and by george I'm going to actually use them!

Along with my New Year's resolution of hibernating...I'm mean NOT hibernating, I am excited to offer a few new products and incorporate a few new ideas into my business that I think you'll enjoy...

An example is my new 'studio wardrobe' for children and maternity clients that you can use for your Session. No more stressing over what to wear!

Think of it as an ultimate tickle trunk with super cool dress up clothes ;)

Next thing new thing ... I will be offering a Digital Collection(along with other Collections) for those of you that like to do your own thing with your images.

One more new thing... and this I am super excited about is the offering of Fine Art Prints. Not like ordinary prints you can get from anywhere, Fine Art Prints are thick, matte, and gorgeous.

Imagine your images printed on thick parchment-like paper, sprinkled with love and a touch fairy dust and it would be half as nice as the Fine Art Prints!

All loose prints purchased will now either be your choice of a traditional print that is mounted for sturdiness, or a Fine Art Print.

I have a quick CrystalB Photography Survey 2014 that I would be forever grateful if you would take a minute to fill out. It's super easy and helps me tweek my business in order to serve you better.

And as a Thanks for taking the survey I would like to give back, so...

The first 3 Session bookings of January, February and March will receive a free 8x10 Fine Art Print!

Please send an email to info@crystalb-photography.com to secure your Session date and free 8x10!

Can't wait to hear from you!

Much Love,

CrystalB

P.S. If anyone wants to join my snowshoe accountability club, I'd be totally into that. We have hot chocolate and cookies....just sayin.

{Tips} Holiday Photos

With the Holiday Season upon us, cameras are out in full force to capture all the wonder and magic of children at Christmas.  To unsure you get the most out of your holiday images here are a few tips:


1. Charge your Batteries! 

The worst thing is when you go to take a photo and your battery is dead.  Be prepared and make sure your camera is charged and your SD Card is empty so you don't miss out on the excitement.

 

2.  First Expressions

Stand by the tree when your kids come around the corner.  That first expression of excitement in seeing what Santa brought them is always the best one.

 

3. Keep on Clicking

Keep you finger ready and keep on clicking.  Getting 2 or three photos of the stages of your child opening a present and finding out what's inside tells a story and is more special than just a snapshot.  Getting on the floor with them while you do this adds a great perspective!

 

4. Start the Night Before

Take photos of the tree, special ornaments, Santa's cookies and milk, your children sleeping, the stockings on the mantle...the little details adds to your story.

 

The Last an MOST Important Tip


 

5. Put Down your Camera!

Once you have a few photos, put down your camera and enjoy the moment with you family.

 

 

Happy Holidays!

The gift of home for the holidays

What if this gift could be something that triggers a memory?

 

Reminds them of a time when life was a little simpler, care free, when the weight of the years was a little less heavy...
