I haven't written a new post in a while, since January, to be exact. The reason is manifold; I have so much going on in my life right now, with the international adoption we're working on (and finally making progress on!), gearing up to homeschool my son this fall (yes, he's now kindergarten age!), and add to this, some personal family issues and a possible move out of state within the next year. Needless to say, I haven't had time to write in my blog. I also haven't had time to do any sessions lately either.
I still love photography and love photographing children, but it seems my heart is in other matters lately, mainly those dealing with my family. As a result, I have decided to put my portrait business on hold indefinitely. I knew I would eventually do this, but I thought it would be sometime after we brought our daughter home. Although I am being pushed in this direction sooner than I had planned, I am at peace with it. I know the priorities in my life, and they need my full attention right now.
You're probably wondering what this means for ordering portraits from past sessions from me in the future. I will continue to have my website online for a while so you can contact me through email. But if you think you will ever want to order something in the future, I would recommend that you go ahead and order it now, because at the end of the month, everything will go into storage and there will be a fee for me to retrieve your file. At this time, I'm offering printable cd's only, no paper portraits, at $97 for a cd that prints up to 8x10 size portraits, and $237 for a full-resolution cd that will print large size wall portraits as well. If you order multiple cds, there will be a discount. Please email me with your order by August 28th. When I get your order I will send you a bill through PayPal and when I receive your payment (I can only accept full payments at this time), I'll get your order ready. Don't try to call the old number you may have for me because it has been disconnected. You can email me at mail@angelas-portraits.com. With the cd's, you'll have the files of your portraits forever, and print as many as you want, anytime you want.
I will probably still update my blog ever so often, so you can stay in touch that way as well, although I may change the address. If I do, I'll let you know.
I want to thank all of you that I've had the pleasure to work with over the years. It has been such a joy to photograph your children at different stages in their lives and watch them grow. Some of you have become more than just clients to me, you are now my friends. Thank you for allowing me to come into your homes and get to know your families and for giving me the honor of preserving your memories. If we do move out of state, I will miss you all.
