Hey everyone! As the new year starts I find myself looking back at the last year in my business and thinking about what is to come for 2012.

I can’t stress how much I am blessed to have such amazing clients. Not just in 2011, but from day one I’ve had the pleasure of working with so many great families and couples. From newborns in their first few days to celebrating the big day with all my brides and grooms I’ve been able to grow my business and my photography skills into what they are today.

Which brings me to present day. I’ve made some decisions about the future of my business for 2012 that I think will allow me to grow and focus my talents in the areas that will benefit my clients the most.

The first big announcement is that I will no longer be doing in home family/children/newborn sessions. Although I love the little ones, I’ve never seen myself as a studio photographer and I feel my talents and images are much better  and more creative when not confined to a studio set up.

Secondly I will only be doing family sessions in the form of mini sessions for 2012. I’ve done a few days of these in the past and they’ve really seemed to work for me and my clients. Looking back at 2011 and the insane amount of miles I spent in my car driving to sessions and weddings I’ve decided that I will do a few mini sessions in different locations throughout the year instead. Some sessions I spent more time in my car driving to than I actually spent shooting. It makes the most sense for me moving forward to convert to this. You will be able to purchase multiple mini sessions if you’d like to have a longer shoot that is more like what I’ve done in the past.

If you have suggestions or specific places you’d like me to hold these mini sessions please email me at becky@beckybrownphotography.com. I will be announcing the dates in advance on my facebook – www.facebook.com/beckybrownphotography. Please “like” my page to get the update. Right now their will be at least one spring, one summer and one fall set of mini sessions. More may be added depending on demand.

Of course I’m sure their will be exceptions to this rule. If you’ve already contacted me about a session, no worries, I will still have you on the books. Or if you have families members coming in from out of state for a specific date let me know and we can work something out.

If you are interested in studio sessions I can suggest a couple of local photographers that specialize in this type of photography and do great work. In addition some of them have actual studios that aren’t your typical Sears set up!

I hope everyone understands my reasoning and decision to do this. Again, I appreciate all the love and support over the years and hope to have continued success and see some of your smiling faces in 2012 🙂

Cheers,

Becky
