Fall Mini Sign-ups!
Book your fall mini session here!
Let’s get together (yeah, yeah, yeah)…this fall!
I’m excited to say that you can now book your fall mini session right here! I’m offering classic 15-minute minis, bounce house minis, and Christmas pajama minis - something for everyone.
Please keep in mind that these will be the majority of shoots I do following August, except for newborns + clients who have booked a baby’s first year package!
If you need something longer than a mini session, or you live outside of Columbia, please email me for availability. I can’t wait to see your family soon!
Hi and 2022 Changes
Some changes for Simply M Photography for 2022!
Happy 2022, everyone! I meant to share this post last month, but between snow days + germs it just didn't happen. I know you understand. ;-)
I wanted to share a few exciting updates to my happy little business this year, but a little backstory first:
Last fall was tough. Real tough. I had several unexpected personal and family things going on (all is well now!) in the midst of my busiest photography season ever, and I felt like I was operating at 50%...no, maybe 43%. I wasn't able to devote the time needed for my family, friends, myself, and YOU, and I got completely. burnt. out.
I was still shooting and trying my darndest to bring my same energy and excitement to each session, but if you know me, you could probably tell I was struggling. I wanted so badly to have those creative juices flowing, but I honestly felt like I was going through the motions (and I hated that feeling). By the end of last year, I knew I needed to set some new boundaries in my business to be the best for my family and for my clients.
So, here's what to expect this year. Keep in mind, I am posting this in February - giving everyone plennnnnty of time to plan ahead for those fall sessions!
I raised my prices for the first time in six years. I thought long and hard about this, and being available to work with a variety of budgets will forever be a priority in my business. I believe I'm still very much in that sweet spot!
I will be offering 20-minute spring mini sessions in Columbia on April 16th (more info coming soon!).
In the fall, I will have three weeks of minis! One in September, one in October, one in November, with dates open in both Nashville and Columbia. Here's the big thing about those: these will be the majority of what I shoot in the fall. I simply can't offer as much as I did last year and still give you my best work!
I know weekends are coveted time slots (and I love seeing you bright and early on Saturday mornings!) but it's also some of the sweetest time I have to give my family. So, this year, I will be offering one weekend each month to travel to Nashville/Franklin/really anywhere north of Spring Hill (*newborn sessions are an exception!*). On the remaining weekends, I will ask that you come to Columbia for our shoot - and I can't wait to show you all of the amazing locations we have here!
I will not be offering shoots after Sunday, December 4th - gotta have time to get in the Christmas spirit!
Thank you, as always, for being my cheerleaders, and for understanding these changes I need to make. I'm doing this because I want to be present with my family and with you - not pulled in different directions when I'm with one or the other.
I am so grateful for your support, y'all! Can't wait to see your family for our 2022 session!
