Price, Collections and other such stuff

As I finish up the busy wedding season and sit down to look at my taxes, and other fun things, I have also reviewed my prices and collections and decided that it is necessary for me to have a price overview. My current prices and packages will be valid for any bookings made within the next 6 months. After that new bookings will be at the new pricing structure which I will release when I have updated my literature. Don’t worry it wont be a huge price increase but it has been many many years since I increased my prices and I was horrified when I worked out my hourly wage for the amount of time I spend processing photos. To clarify if you book within the next 6 months for a 2016 or 2017 wedding my current prices apply. please email me at smgodfrey@gmail.com if you have any questions or would like to make a booking.

Day 25: Johnny Again

Johnny Again

Another one of my gorgeous nephew that I took on the weekend. I have practised a new found photoshop skill in skin smoothing for children and like the end effect. Love this image as it brings back the conversation we were having as I took the photo. He is nearly 2 1/2 and stringing words together to make sentences. Very adorable.

Day 23: Magic
Magic

My beautiful girl who loves to dress up.

I was inspired to do this after a forum I follow had another photographer attempting a glitter image and I had seen glitter blowing used on Pintrest and thought that I might give it a go with my girl who loves anything girlie and magical. She choose her costume deciding on Snow White and I got the excuse to purchase some glitter overlays from Etsy (PhotosUnleashed) which I have had fun using on this image and am sure I will use again on some client images.

ISO 200 f/8 1/200 sec

The lens flare is real and half the glitter is and the other half is courtesy of the glitter overlay.

Day 19: Self Portrait #1

Self Portrait

This was by far the hardest challenge I set myself so far. Half the reason I am the photographer is so I don’t have to be in the photos. Then there was the challenge of actually taking the photo of myself – focus, exposure etc. Suffice to say there were a lot of images to get this one. It was hard to get a composition I liked as I found once you start taking photos of yourself everything starts to look really forced or maybe I am just over thinking the whole process. I think this might be something for me to keep working on.

My 16 month old exploring through some flax leaves. She is gaining in confidence rapidly and you can see her pride as she conquers a new obstacle or finds some new adventure.
