Summer is Coming!!!

I keep repeating that to myself as I make sure all my devices are charged before the snow storm we are expected to get. I am a little upset that we haven't gone sledding one time this Winter so bring it on!

So many things are happening over here at OMP and I haven't hopped over here in a hot minute, so here I am. This will be a brief rundown of things that have happened, are in progress and the future.

2022 was absolutely insane. I lived at the beach from June to September shooting a different family session every night, I loved it! Major perk of the job is the constant sand, sun and babies! I also shot the most holiday sessions to date, met some new families and saw lots of my faves. With that holiday insanity mixed with my regularly-scheduled holiday anxiety, comes hours and hours and HOURS of editing and basically neglecting my home life. So January and February I took O F F , only shooting a few shoots per month and laying low. Lots of Netflix, lots of Olivia Benson- it was amazing and needed! Now that Spring is close by and those long Summer nights are not too far off, thank you Daylight savings, I started brainstorming some fun ideas for 2023.

March weekdays and April weekdays you can book Personality Portrait sessions now!! These sessions are a must have for me. I shoot my kids every year, these are the photos I use in giant frames in the mudroom and they're perfect to line your stairs with. Every session booked, also receives this print sheet with some faves from your session.

Next month I will be hosting 1st Communion sessions on the last Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of the month. I have been shooting at Webb Memorial Park in Weymouth for years now and it's the best little gem of a spot for photos. I currently only have 1 available slot on Wednesday at 6:30pm if you or anyone you know of were interested.

May is for the MAMAS!!! Currently working on releasing Love your Mama sessions on Sunday, May 7th. Remember, us moms love photo sessions so if you're trying to think of a fun, sweet gift for your wife or mom, order a gift card!

I am hoping to update my website with some recent reviews. If you had a session with me in 2022 and would like to write and email me a review, you will receive a print credit valid for your next session!

---

And lastly--- Summer time, sunset sessions are by far the most popular sessions that I offer. If you are wanting to secure your spot, whether it be for your immediate family, extended family or your rising senior, now is the time to do it. Weekends are always the first to go so act fast. To reserve your date there is a $100 deposit due and your balance is not due till the date of your session.

I cannot wait to see you this year!! Thank you for continuing to make my job not really a job at all, you're the best!!

1st Year package!

With Summer winding down and those cool breezes starting to stick around a little longer, I thought I'd take a little time to relax and go over my most asked question from new parents: "Do you offer 1st year packages?"

And the answer is YES! I'm sure you don't need me to tell you just how fast they grow up. It's a weird phase where the days are insanely long and you yearn for bedtime and then just like that they are starting high school (Liv will be starting 9th grade in 2 flippin' weeks, I will 1000% cry).

The first year is a lot. Everyone is sleep deprived, confused and so in love with their new baby. I take the pressure off of you and make sure to include you, Mama, in the photos. Your typical 1st year package includes a newborn session, a sitter session and a cake smash to top the year off! If you aren't interested in those, I do offer substitutes like fresh 48, 3 month and formal 1 year portraits.

When should you book? Once you know your due date I can mark it down in my calendar and we go from there!

Do I pay all at once? You can if you want to, and there is a 10% discount for that, but I also offer plans!

How do I book? Send me an email and we will go from there!!

Mother's Day Minis & 1st Communion Minis and more!

Things are picking up over here, which can only mean one thing. SPRING is here!! With more and more people getting vaccinated and things starting to get (slowly) back to normal, I am pumped to get outside and start shooting again.

Mother's Day Portraits

To kick off the outdoor sessions, I am holding a Mother's Day Portrait session on April 24th. Sessions are quick and easy and are for Moms! It can be you and your children, or you and your mom. Really anything goes, as long as all these moms are behind the camera for a change. I currently have two slots left, so email to secure your slot! Perk- these sessions are being held beachside!

1st Communion

Next on the list, is the 1st Communion Mini. Always a favorite, these go fairly quick. I will be shooting these sessions at Webb Memorial Park the first week of May, after school. Sessions are first come, first serve and (knock on wood) no one has EVER ruined their white dresses or suits while shooting. Turnaround for these sessions is 48 hours, so you will have them ready for the big day. If you are interested in booking a time, reach out!

Bookings

And to round out this little update, I have started booking beach portrait sessions again!! June and August are already filling up. Beach sessions are shot the hour before sunset. It may not be for every family, but if you are looking for gorgeously lit family photos- put the kids in for an early nap and do it! It's worth it. I only do one beach session per day, which limits the amount of families I can see over the Summer.

Retainer is due at time of booking*
