Happy 2017!!!

Hi everyone! Looks like its been 6 months since my last post. Oops! lol. So here we are entering a new year with new goals (hopefully), new outlooks on life, relationships and business. I am setting the bar high this year for my business. With a new website in the works, new pricing to reflect my self respect and love for my work, gaining new clientele and challenging myself to be the best I can be. :)

What are your goals?

Last year was my best year in business to date! I have been able to say that every year and I have all you lovely clients to thank. Your amazing reviews, word of mouth advertising, and love for my work has made all of this possible. My promise to you it to stay true to shooting the way I love to shoot and grow in that. I am even opening up to accepting 4 weddings a year. I have a second shooter and we have so much fun together. She's talented and just as easy to get a long with as me, lol! So cheers to a new adventure in 2017!

I hope you set the bar high as well and soar in 2017. It's the year to focus on you and be the very best you can be in whatever way it means to you. I can't wait to see you blossom this year!

Till next time!

Summer Sunset Shoots

How I love summer sunset shoots! Booking end of July through for September. I have been busy getting new items together for my newborn sessions and prepping for a wedding this weekend. It's been a whirlwind summer so far and I can't believe it's been months since my last post. Oops! I haven't put down my camera, that's for sure!

I want to thank my clients of 2016 that I've had the privilege of working with again and new ones I have gained. It means the world to me.

I really am working on getting together a lovely collection of maternity gowns for my Bump to Baby Packages as well as brand new, one of a kind, newborn props. As I continue booking more and more of these shoots, I can continue to grow my prop supplies. So please take a moment to view my newborn work and pass it along to anyone who may be interested or is expecting a baby. I truly love what I do and I think it shows in my work. :)

In the mean time, here are a few samples of how beautiful sunset summer shoots can be in that golden hour. These are my girls just hanging out in pj's and then reading together. Simple but beautiful and memorable for sure! :)

Passion goes far...

I have a passion for newborns, I can not photograph them enough! I sit here and think, WOW! I am living my dream right now. I'm doing a "job" that I LOVE! One I am passionate about, good at and all the while, I am surely building a clientele base. The referrals I've gotten recently, the kind, loving words from new and past clients, is amazing and touching. My schedule is filling up. I mean, I am blown away! THANK YOU soooooooooooooooo much!!! I would not be where I am without all of you. Your kindness and faithfulness is not going unnoticed. I am sure you have received my "Thank you" email by now as proof. ;)

Continue spreading my name and I'll continue providing lifetime memories to each of you!

MUAH!

Happy Tuesday!!!

Good morning! The sun is shining and hopefully the rain holds off so I can enjoy the 2nd grade picnic lunch with Haley today! 

I just got done sending out some special little "thank you's" to my 2015 clients. Most of them are new clients! EEK!!! Makes my heart so happy to see new and old clients booking sessions with me. Speaking of booking, July is getting full, YAY!!!! I have limited availability on weekends but lots of free weeknights to fill. Think Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays. My other nights are consumed with summer dance classes for my girls. :)

I have 2 more openings for newborn sessions in July and 2 in August. Make sure to book at least 4-6 weeks out so we have time to order your props designed around your taste, style and interests. I love making all my sessions based around YOU. 

As we head into beautiful summer, I look forward to time with friends and family and making new friends along the way. Oh and I get to finally see one of my favorite newer friends next month. I haven't seen her since Feb 7!!! She somehow managed to pencil me in for a lunch, LOL!!! 

So enjoy your day, the week and the fact that school is almost out! :)

Reflection Time...

Oh fun days around here lately, lol! Lots going on from end of year dance recitals to my sister in law flying home for a weeks visit, birthdays, graduations, babies being born, it has been a whirlwind of weeks! I embarked on a new business adventure in Rodan + Fields! Whew!

I am a feeling a little down with the lack of photography sessions I have lined up. It's hard when so many people think, "oh I have a decent camera and can take pics for DIRT cheap" and people spend their money on less quality work. I get wanting a deal, which is why several times throughout the year I offer discounts and giveaways, including raffle baskets but I know what my work is worth. I do a really great, professional job and provide a life time of memories for each family who entrusts me to take their childrens, newborns, families, etc, pictures. So THANK YOU to all those loving clients I have!

For all my CURRENT clients, when you book your next session, please mention "THANK YOU JUNE" and I will give you $20 off your next 1 hour session or an extra 5 images on your next mini session. (You may choose one session type)

Want to take it one step farther and earn a FREE SESSION??? That's easy! Get photo ready by purchasing a Rodan + Fields Regimen and I will honor you with 1 FREE mini session with 10 edited images via digital download! :) You must sign up as a Preferred Customer which will give you 10% off plus free shipping on your order! This offer is only valid for the first 5 qualifying purchases so hurry on over to my site or email me to get started and learn more! Take it two steps farther and join me as a business partner and receive 1 FREE 1 hour session and 1 FREE 11x14 or small print!
https://bacalamia.myrandf.com/ or email me at bacalamiaphotography@comcast.net

It's a great thing that I can say I love what I do times 2!! I feel lucky and as long as I continue booking sessions, producing amazing work and helping people reverse their skin and start looking younger, I will be so happy and thankful!

Until next time!

AHHHHH! I truly was meant to be...

...a newborn photographer!! Honestly, the pure innocence, the squishy cheeks, tiny hands and toes, the love I have for newborns really shows in my work. I have so much patience for them, just ask any parents I have done work for. I am blessed to be able to do what I love.

Check out Liam. He slept almost the whole time and was an absolute pleasure.

I really do tailor each session to what the parents like. From props, to poses we find ways to make each session one to remember. This was certainly one I will never forget! Thank you for entrusting me with your precious gift. :)

So now I wait for my next newborn session...as always feel free to send me referrals! I'll even throw in a little something for you if you do. 

Happy Monday! 

xoxo
