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!

Positive Changes...

Good afternoon! I am loving this new lifestyle I have created for myself. 2015 is MY year and I am not stopping. I am going full force into every new adventure, staying positive, being happier than I have in a while, and loving the support system I have! :) I am one happy girl!

One thing that I already mentioned that is new for me, besides my killer workouts and healthy eating habits, is that I joined my best friend as a Rodan + Fields Consultant. The products are beyond amazing. The improvements I have seen in her, her mom, her daughter, her other BF, and now myself are all the reasons why I LOVE this company. Not only do I get to have amazing skin, I gained new friends, a new support system, potential photography clients, and my bank account gets to smile. I mean it's just awesome the potential I have in this company. I have a 1 year goal to make a certain dollar amount per month and with our team, seeing their own successes within the company, I know I will be right where I want to be in May 2016, if not PAST where I want to be. I see it happening every day to people all around me who have taken the so called risk to consult for them.

What I want more than anything is to help YOU feel just as happy as I am and to help you become a Rodan + Fields success story. Whether you want to start by trying their products or join my team, I am here for you. The best way to receive an awesome discount is to join my team. The initial savings is HUGE! I have seen people make their initial deposit back as soon as 2 months. It's all up to you. Are you determined enough to make your dreams finally a reality? At young ages of 21-32, I have seen people retire already because they believed they could and they DID it! That's what I want to be able to say in 1 year. I want my husband to be able to finally not over work himself and enjoy life. I want the fancy vacations, (you can earn for FREE), the Lexus, (yup you can earn one for FREE), the remodels on my home, a nice savings account, extra money so my kids can take 4 dance classes each if that's their passion, the list goes on and why shouldn't it. I know I will be successful but I want you to be also.

So please, if you are at all curious about any of this, the business or the products, just ask me. I am an open book with many answers.

For the month of May, I am giving the first 2 people who join my team 1 FREE 1 hour session complete with all edited image as well as 2 FREE prints size 11x14 or smaller. I will also take your business picture to use for your business cards and hey, I will even design your cards if you want me to. What do you  have to lose? You have 60 days to change your mind on either being a consultant once you sign up or on any products you buy as a client.

Think about it. Then come to me. Let's make success happen.

Have a fantastic afternoon!
