Hi everyone. Listen, all you secret blog stalkers, I need your help. Can you please take a look at the pictures in the last few posts? They are the same pictures you've already seen, but I feel like the quality of the photos has suddenly changed. They are looking very pixelated to me, but it could just be my new huge monitor.

So, if you would be so kind to take a look and let me know what you think. Do the photos look different to you than how they normally look? Do you see any difference at all? Please leave me a comment below or email me at bbeyrer1@optonline.net, I would really appreciate your input.

More pictures coming soon (pixely or not). In the meantime, I'll leave you with an old one from the christmas card shoot:

I made about a zillion Christmas Cards this year. Here they are for your viewing pleasure…

The flat "postcards"

And the folding cards. Some trifolds as well.

The packaging:

My card: (which was an accordian card so it's really hard to show flat)

More Florida pictures tommorrow I think.

All in the numbers for 2008…

189 shoots in total (wow! I really need this vacation!). That's up from 78 in 2007. Quite a difference, no? 9 of which were product, 14 shoots for the band, 3 christenings, 13 communions, 8 parties of different varieties, and 6 weddings. And the rest all family & child portrait work. Whew. I'm getting tired again…

Thank you so much to all of my wonderful clients both returning and new. I am happy to say that not only do I have a fast growing business that I adore (which I'm still just winging…still no advertising really so thank you also for any referrals you made) but I have made some great new friends as well. I am hoping to see all of you again in 2009 (already booking Jan-March for shoots and any dates for parties). I am looking forward to a little break over the holidays and then jumping right back in full force in January.

Still a few more posts to come before I leave for Florida, so stay tuned over the next few days.

And a post is no good without any pictures, so… here are a few of the boys from about 2 weeks ago before it got freezing and snowy.

I'm happy to announce my bsquared photography pricing and packages for 2009. I am also opening the calendar for shoots from January-March. If you have a communion or other party coming up that you'd like to book now (that is not between Jan-Mar), please contact me at bbeyrer1@optonline.net and we can get you on the calendar to save your date.

All the below information will also be listed on the left side of the blog under pages "pricing & packages 2009" permanently.

Looking forward to another great year with all of my fabulous clients, and hoping to add some new clients this year too!

The packages available:

And the policies. The major change is that I will be requiring a $100 non-refundable deposit ($175 for parties, $75 for mini sessions) in order to confirm your date/time. While the deposit is not refundable, it is 100% transferable to another shoot date/time for your family. The other change is the fee for the additional rounds of edits after the first included round.

Hope to hear from you soon!
