FAQ: “Is That Really Enough Time for a Session?”

Because my full sessions are defined by image count and not time, it’s not at all surprising potential clients want to know how long to expect to be at a session, especially if their group includes small children. People are also often curious if ten minutes is enough time to capture all the photos and poses they’d like during a mini session.The answer to both questions is an overwhelming YES. How do I know and how am I so confident? The answer is simple…it’s all in the numbers.

Customer Appreciation Mini Sessions are Here!

I am so excited to announce that I will once again be offering Customer Appreciation Mini Sessions at an INCREDIBLY discounted rate this summer!

Last year, I introduced Customer Appreciation Minis, and they quickly became a hit among my clients in the Lehigh Valley. These mini sessions provided an opportunity to express my gratitude while capturing beautiful moments for families, couples, and children.

My Customer Appreciation Minis were designed to create lasting memories for my clients. The response I received last year was overwhelming, and I was thrilled to witness the joy on my clients' faces as I captured their special moments. From playful shots of children in a little red wagon to heartwarming family portraits on a cozy blanket in the grass, each session was a unique experience filled with laughter and love.

These mini sessions are perfect for those who are looking for a new family portrait or if you just want a quick photo shoot with your kids to keep as a memory of Summer 2023.

What is EK’s Style?

Today I want to tell you more about my photography style. No, I know you’re not interested in what I’m wearing to your session. Rather, my style refers to the approach I take to photographing a session and what you can expect in your final images. You may be considering which area photographer is the best fit for your family and, while there are many points to think about, selecting a photographer whose style matches your own is essential. I want my clients to look at their images and feel I captured the best of their family. Knowing a bit more about what I do to achieve that “best” is key!

My Why… Why I Do What I Do

If you’ve followed me for any length of time, you know photography wasn’t my initial career path. I spent 13 years as an elementary teacher. Though I loved my time in the classroom, when I began experimenting with our family’s DSLR camera in 2016, I discovered a passion I didn’t know I had for artfully capturing moments in time forever. I treasure every photo I have of my sons at each stage of their growth and development. Those moments cannot be recreated and would be only distant memories if I hadn’t snapped the shutter.

A Year in Review!

Another year has flown by in what feels like the blink of an eye. Maybe it’s because this was my first year as an “official” business, or maybe it’s because the kids are a year older and just as, if not busier than last year, or maybe it’s just that time seemingly speeds up with each passing day.

The Value of Prints

Though we live in a digital age, there is so much value and importance in printed images. Children love to see photos of themselves around the house (there have been studies done that prove this is beneficial to their development), grandma loves having a new photo to proudly display in her kitchen, and fond memories come flooding back to couples when they see their wedding picture in their living room.
