Happy New Year | Tyler, Longview Family Photography

By now the Christmas tree has (probably) been kicked to the curb, a few pounds have been added, and a few resolutions have been made - a brand new year is here, and with that are some exciting changes for Lori Ivey Photography.  Each December I take off for a few weeks to step back and take a good look at my business.  Specifically, how I can serve my clients even better.  2013 was a wonderful year and I'm thrilled to see what 2014 brings.

I want to thank each and every one of my clients that allowed me to capture images of their beautiful families.  Thank you.  Without you my business would not exist!

My biggest goal for 2014 is to be able to spend more time with each of my clients.  I want to continue providing the very best experience from start to finish.  For me, that means taking fewer sessions so I can give everyone I work with my very best.

For those of you on my email subscription list - you will be in the know and have the opportunity to book sessions before anyone else!  Each month you can expect an email from me with available session dates, the ever popular Mini Events, and other news right in your inbox.

Fewer sessions also means a few changes in my pricing.  One thing I have always strived to do is provide information up front to anyone considering working with me.  A typical family session takes about 10 hours of my time - most of that being behind the scenes!  And one of my biggest pet peeves is when a business person appears to be secretive about what working with them will cost.  I encourage every potential client to look over my products and pricing before they ever book a session.  And I'm encouraging you to do the same.  You can find all of this information on the pricing page of my website.  Click on the Welcome Guide for a comprehensive list of products and services:  Pricing Page

This session was with a sweet girl who you may have met.  Jessica is an art student and a photographer herself who assists me on shoots from time to time.  We did her little family session at Danville Christmas Tree Farm and I loved everything about it.  Enjoy!

Wow - seriously?  It's MARCH!?  It seems like I was just making well intentioned resolutions to lead a healthier lifestyle and become more organized while ringing in the new year.  So, at this point our resolutions are long forgotten and I don't know about you - but I'm dying to bust out some flip flops!

I've always loved Spring.  It seems so fresh and promising.  And those dang Reese's eggs sure don't hurt either.  The ratio of peanut butter to chocolate on those suckers are perfection.

And this family session from the Fall is just perfect with all of this talk of Spring.  I remember joking with this seriously adorable red head when I stuck her in a patch of green that she was just like a cute bunny hiding in the grass!  Check it out and see for yourself - cute overload!

Wow - this week has flown by!  I love getting to finally blog some of my sessions from the past Fall season.  Fall is the very busiest time of year for photographers.  It's like the cheese aisle of the grocery store before the Super Bowl, or the chocolate aisle before Valentines.  My point - you really can't book your family sessions early enough.  Every year I have to turn clients away and it makes me so sad!

Also, I've just implemented a new payment plan for clients spending over a certain amount on their orders.  Pretty cool huh?  And did I mention it's interest free?  Yeah - that's right!  Now, let's take a look at this beautiful family session shall we?

I'm going back to the Fall so I can begin showcasing some of my beautiful clients and their families that I was so privileged to work with this past year!  I loved this session!  The colors were so whimsical - and what personalities these two had.

And their Christmas card....it was seriously jaw-dropping gorgeous!
