Nicole Tow Photography Blog

Photography is such a passion for me. Babies are too (I would keep having them if I could!). I have made the decision to only focus on portraits for maternity and babies up to one year old. It’s scary to make this kind of change, but very exciting also!

To prepare for my new focus, I need to get some new faces for the site. I am offering a drastic discount for a limited time only! $200 will net you an on-location session followed by a disc complete with 15 full-resolution edited images. You will also receive a 5×7 print of each image.

To qualify for this, you must be pregnant or have a baby that is one year old or younger and you must be willing to sign a model release.

Contact me today!

I have a bit of the baby fever! So here is what I want to do…

If you have a newborn that is 10 days old or younger, you get a FREE session! Not just that, but you also get a FREE digital file with full printing rights! No obligation after that. Now, all I want is to be able to display your beautiful baby on my site. Sounds pretty good, right? This offer is for five sessions-so hurry and contact me! If you’re currently pregnant, that’s okay! The session can occur anytime through July 31st.

Remember, I come to YOU! Mom & Dad are welcome in the portraits, but if you just want to give me the baby for a few hours and go, say...NAP, that's okay too! :)

What are you waiting for?

A fellow photographer wrote a blog post that I absolutely loved and wanted to share with my blog readers. It definitely gives us something to think about!

I know you have heard it said, and it could be considered a cliche, but the powerful words, “there is no day like today” rings so very true during this time of cutting back in the American economy.

I have thought about it a lot. Our family, like any other, is going through our priorities and reevaluating what we consider important enough to invest our money into. Everyday new challenges are presented to us and we carefully consider how we will handle them in light of our own financial situations. So I know what it means when clients and friends say that they are trying to be wise when making decisions about photography.

However there is something unique about photography that is not true about a lot of our other expenditures. A lot of the things that we buy will be around tomorrow and next week and next year for us to buy. That new flat screen television will still be at Best Buy (given that Best Buy is still in business, lol!) next year. In fact if you wait you may even get a better model. And that new couch and loveseat set will still be at the furniture store next year or you may find one that you like even better for a better deal later this year.

But your children, and family will not be the same later this year. Your newborn baby will not be as small as he or she was the first 10 days of his or her life ever again. Your one or two year old will not be a toddler forever. You will not be pregnant 9 months from now with the child you are now carrying (THANK GOD, right?). And your wedding day is a once in a lifetime event. The exact make up of your family as it is today will never be the same. Kids grow, situations change, dad’s lose their hair… like it is said, there is no day like today.

So here is my point. When you are reevaluating your budget and choosing your priorities, please do not under estimate the value of having the moments of your life captured by a professional photographer. Your baby girl’s smile is priceless, get a tangible memory of that up on your wall as art. Your family is beautiful. And as many of our possessions are becoming less of a priority in this economic time, the value of family increases. Today is the day to turn your memories in to art.

And here is the deal. If you mention this blog post to me in an email and then you go on to book a full session with me before June 30, 2009, you will receive a $50 print credit for making your family’s memories a priority during these tough times. It is my challenge to you to make sure and treasure the moments of your life, and to let me be a part of capturing those moments.

Thanks to Kristy Lynn Photography.  Original post can be found here.

I am willing to offer the same print credit to all of you and I’ll extend it to July 31, 2009!  We can’t get these moments back so don’t wait.

Edited March 28, 2009: Thank you!  All of the available sessions have been filled!  The referral offer remains in effect until further notice! :)

You might have noticed that I am now offering full-resolution digital images.  For a limited time only, you can earn one FREE digital image from your session!  All you have to do is send me a referral for a paid portrait session.  Once your friend’s session is paid for and completed, I will send you one (1) digital image of your choice!
