New Fees & Other Info

I am still out of the state on vacation with my family. We will be returning home in a week or two.

New prices/fees go into effect on July 1st. The Product Guide will not show new prices/fees until my return. Watch the blog for the new Product Guide announcement. The main website will show the new sessions fees in “The Fees” section under “Details”. All clients who scheduled their portrait appointments and ordered their portraits prior to July 1st will not be effected.

As most of you know, we are a Navy family. My husband is currently up for Sea Duty orders. As of right now, it looks like we will be here for another 4 years, but we will not know officially until we return home.

Because of this, we are not accepting any new clients for the Inch By Inch (Baby’s First Year) Portrait Plan nor are we accepting deposits for sessions after January 1st, 2010. Once we are given official orders, we will update the blog.

We’re closed… not for good of course

First of all…

Thank you to all of you who made the first half of this year so great! I’ve met such wonderful people and feel so privileged to be apart of your lives as your personal photographer!

A little reminder

We are now closed and will be reopening for regular business on July 13. All phone calls & email inquiries will be answered on or after our return with the exception of clients who have active proof albums and/or orders.

Those who need to schedule a portrait session

My schedule fills up at least two months in advance. July & August are almost full. Please do not wait to schedule your session, especially if you would like a Saturday.

To schedule your session, please send email inquiries to customers@reneegphotography.com. Because we will be away, all emails will be replied in the order received. So, if two different people want the same session date, the first to write will be offered the date and have 48 hours to pay the deposit. If no deposit is received, the next in line will be offered the date.

Please include the following information when inquiring for a portrait session:

  • Date(s) requested
  • # of Participants
  • In-Studio or On-Location

Active Client Proof Albums

Most of you already knew that I was leaving. But please let your family members also know that I will not be able to fulfill orders until I return.

Active Client Orders

If your order was placed & paid for by Monday, June 8th, it should be ready for pick up by Saturday, the 13th. You will receive an email and a phone call letting you know that your order is ready. Pick-ups will not be available after June 13th.

See Ya Later! 

Hope you all enjoy the beginning of Summer! Take care & God bless!

Our Latest Birthday Girl!

Little “L” & I had fun making each other laugh as we tilted our heads back and gave a “ha! ha! ha!” which kind of sounded like “The Count” from Sesame Street. She loved it and that got her attention quickly when she was distracted with wanting to cling to mom. And if you are wondering, this tutu was brought in and made by her mommy. By the way mom, we saved it for you – we got all the cake & icing out. I just couldn’t let you throw it away. So, we have it here and you can pick it up any time!

The Miracle of Life

Meet Baby “A”. Born at 25 weeks gestation (born weighing 2 lbs, 1 oz & 13 inches long), she was finally able to come home after 3 months of being in the hospital. Still having her lungs underdeveloped, she required oxygen- but that did not stop her from being so cute! She was fighting so hard not to fall asleep at the end, but she finally closed her eyes and the adorable sleeping portraits began.
