Newborn Booking Special! | Rhode Island Newborn Photography
I am running a special for two newborn bookings only and you have to be due before July 20, 2010. Please read the other qualifications to make sure you fit 🙂
Goin’ back to Philly to Philly | Philadelphia Family Photography
Okey dokey.
I have delayed announcing long enough! It’s settled – I will be returning to Philadelphia from Friday June 25-Monday June 28. I am coming to town to do two newborn sessions for past clients (yippee!!!!!) but have decided to add slots for three family sessions ONLY. The sessions can be Friday evening, Saturday morning or evening and Sunday morning or evening. (For your reference morning sessions start at 9, evening sessions start between 5:00-6:00. Trust me choose the evening, the light is AWESOME.)
Five time slots, three families. You can do a family session, a couples Love session, any kind of session (except newborn) up to four people in one family.
Just like the last time I came, these will be “Three-Quarter” sessions. Details:
Philly Sessions – $500
45-60 minute session in downtown Philadelphia – Art Museum, Rittenhouse, Old City, etc
All digital files in high-resolution from the session. No clue how many you will end up with in the end but it will be at least 15-20, likely more. You will receive the color and black and white versions of each file and a print release for all files from your session.
5×7 color print of each file
5×5 layflat album featuring photos from your session
(In case you’re wondering, this would be a total value of about $1900 regularly so you guys get an awesome deal 😉 )
To book, contact me at amy@amyrophotography.com. Half of the fee ($250) will be due to book the session, the remainder is due at your session.
Mommy & Me Sessions! | Rhode Island Family Photography
Are you wondering what to do for Father’s Day? Did you think about photos but didn’t want to go all out? If so, my “Mommy & Me” mini sessions may be perfect for you!! These are special sessions that are, as the title states, only for mommies! The ones who never get in front of the camera, the ones who are usually taking the photos. Do your hair and makeup, grab the kids and meet me in the park for some photos! These will be held in Roger Williams park on Sunday May 23 and there will only be four slots available. (The rain date will be Saturday June 5.) Check below for more details and if you are interested in booking a session, contact me!
Ten on Tuesday | Rhode Island Photography
1. First, the third Get Manual class has filled up, yippee! The number that I want it to be filled up to, at least. A nice small group, I am SO looking forward to it! Maybe this time I will take a group photo of everyone 😉
2. We should hear on Thursday this week for sure on one of Matt’s job opportunities. Please please please. I hate this state of unknowing….
3. Finishing up my editing for my clients I found this photo which I ::puffy:: heart. Baby A. was trying to eat Samantha’s chin. Reason number #1 why I don’t have moms hold newborns during a session – mommy smell equals FOOD 🙂 But adore this picture SO much. We all remember those moments with our own kids. 🙂
4. I recently got onto the Photography board of TheBump.com (no I am not pregnant, it is just a board that I visit). And due to some pretty seemingly-silly rules (ie you can’t say if you are a pro, can’t mention your biz or recommend people) I have been asked by several people on there if I am “really Amy Ro.” First, I think it is hysterical that they don’t think I’m really me and second it is totally crazy to think that these women from all over the country even know who I am! How did that happen??? And to that end, I am almost up to 600 fans on Facebook. How did THAT happen? Where do these people come from? I mean I LOVE it, don’t get me wrong at all, but I am just overwhelmed and totally humbled (is that the right word) at the idea of people liking my photography that much. Or maybe it is my awesome witty writing that gets them in? And my cute kids? 😉
5. I am officially coming to Philadelphia for two newborn sessions on June 25 and 26. I will have time for an evening (5:00-5:30) family session on Saturday of that weekend, *possibly* Friday night as well if I can get into town during the afternoon on Friday like I would prefer to. Let me know if you are interested. Please note, previous clients will be considered first for this. I am thinking some nice downtown / Old City shooting is called for! While I don’t miss living in Philly, I do miss shooting in the city.
6. I am also planning some other trips. Woohoo! I have mentioned them earlier but have a few more details now. North Carolina is almost settled. We are just trying to predict when my friend’s baby will be born. And Chicago is happening at the end of July or first week in August. I already have a newborn and two family sessions tentatively lined up, will let you know if I open more slots.
7. My haircut is growing on me. It really is. It is still too short by about two inches, but it’s growing. And it will certainly be cooler when I am in warm temperatures chasing after small children!
8. Lest you think my child is always happy and always poses perfectly for me. She is working on perfecting her two year old stink eye. At 16 months of age.
9. I am thinking about designing new marketing materials. I had coffee with my friend Heidi from Heidi Hope photography last week (week before?) and her marketing materials are just gorgeous. They gave me marketing materials envy. Big time. (And she has assistants! I have assistant envy, too. Nolan doesn’t count.) Right now I do so many things “green” that I have nothing pretty to put in people’s hands. Well, I do, I have my wall display guide, but that seems to keep getting lost in the children’s toy room…. So I might be looking at a new marketing materials project. And that means shopping for templates online. It is a sickness that they don’t tell you about when you become a pro. There are always goodies, always *things* that you need. Templates, lenses, actions, programs, hats. Too many things to count. The hidden secrets of being a pro…
10. Are you thinking ahead to Father’s Day yet? I am. Matt and the kids did a nice job for me which okay, honestly I wasn’t expecting. My husband, whom I love to death and is my best friend in the whole world, is the man that stops at the gas station on the way home from work the day that a card is needed. Or creates an excuse to go to the grocery store the day of the occasion. This is the man who wrapped up and gave me for Christmas something we had bought at the store together a few weeks earlier. You get my drift. So I don’t expect much in terms of special occasions. But they did a very nice job. I got to sleep in, they made me pancakes and gave me a very nice day topped off by one of the most delicious steaks he has ever made. 🙂 So that brings me full circle. Are you thinking about Father’s Day yet? If so, I am trying to come up with some cute little packages to do. What better than pictures of you and your kid(s) to give as gifts? I am thinking something along the lines of a day of mini sessions. Or a weekend. Stay tuned!
Mine on Monday | Rhode Island Family Photography
I had grand plans for today. My plan was to get lovely pictures with MY kids this weekend. Actually jump in front of the camera and allow photos of me to be taken. Then Matt and the kids surprised me with a gift card to my salon. So instead I thought, GREAT. I can get rid of the grey hairs, make it all one nice rich color again and get the same fabulous cut I had last time. Then I will jump in front of the camera and allow photos of myself to be taken. Fast forward to this mid-morning. And a cut that is about two inches shorter than I wanted. That doesn’t sound too bad, until you consider that I wanted it chin length. So take chin length and crop it up two more inches. And add in the fact that I said it was okay to do “stacked” in the back. That means they are going to taper your hair up a few inches. Yeahhh. Didn’t understand that when I agreed to it. I say I look like a manly mushroom. Matt is kind and says “it’s not that bad.” I say, “yay for hair growing quickly!” And my friends politely tell me it’s “awesome.” I do, no matter what else, absolutely LOVE the color. So that is the great part. And in another six to eight weeks when it has grown out, I think I too will love it. Lesson learned, communicate more with your stylist. (Whom I still do love)
So yeah. Long winded way of saying I am NOT appearing in these pictures. At least not until I’ve had a few days to get used to a wayyy short haircut. Instead I took Layne out with *her* new haircut for some quick snaps in the backyard. She loves being outside and running around and she will randomly just squat down and play with dirt, pebbles, sidewalk, whatever which gives me twenty seconds of still. God do I love this girl…
I find many things technically wrong with this photo but I just don’t care. I love it. Mommy goggles all around.
