Well, I am going to take the suggestions that some of my friends and family have made with regards to my passion for photography and digital imaging. I am contemplating doing portrait photography and simple, yet classy photo invitations, greeting cards, birth and/or engagement announcements as well. I love my hobby and want to expand my abilities while making a little money on the side.
Since I am in the process of building a portfolio, I would like to offer my services to you and your family with no sitting fee. I don’t have a studio, so I plan to shoot the photos on location either in a public setting (i.e. a park, beach, etc.) or in the subjects’ homes. This is also going to be a learning process for me, so I can’t promise you “professional” quality images—yet, but I am certain I can achieve high-quality candid and posed portraits that are positively a cut above your everyday snapshots. My passion is babies/children/maternity and family portraiture.
Soooo, if you are interested in helping me out, please let me know so we can set up a time and place for your session. In return, I will provide you with free prints up to 5x10 and and an 8x10 of the best shots, including creative manipulation as I practice using my photo software. For anything larger or prints on canvas, for example, or other photo products, I can offer discounted rates. I also ask for permission to use the images on a website and other marketing materials, should I decide to focus on this long-term.
For now, I am only extending this offer to a few key people to get started. I don't have a full-blown website or a price list, but plan to have a few things in place by mid August. In the meantime, please let me know asap if you are interested. I am mostly available on Mondays and Wednesdays for now, but we can discuss scheduling later.
Please email me at maria@mariavphotography.com for more information.
Thank you!
