2013 Pricing Updates
I've eluded to the new 2013 pricing structure that Ashley Marie Photography will be following but I will now be in the process of updating the website to reflect it as 2012 is officially booked solid.
For the past two years Ashley Marie Photography has followed a more individualized pricing structure with different fees for different types of sessions. Moving forward, as my time will be more limited and things a lot busier with our first baby expected in 2013, I'm changing to a more simplified structure to help everyone out!
Currently, on average, between $20-$30 is being spent on CD costs above and beyond the existing pricing structure. It is our belief, that in an effort to provide the BEST possible photography services to current and new clients that the existing a la carte system can be at times confusing and therefore we have decided a more "all inclusive" style of pricing will better fit the needs of everyone. If you have any questions or concerns, or simply would like additional information regarding our new structure, please do not hesitate to contact us.
The new pricing structure will be as follows:
1 Hour Session - $100
Includes:
-1 hour at the studio or outdoors within 25 miles round trip of 53403
-25 high resolution images on a CD
*This type of session fee would be applicable for maternity, children, families, seniors, and engagements*
90 Minute Session - $130
Includes:
-90 minutes at the studio or outdoors within 25 miles round trip of 53403
-35 high resolution images on a CD
*This type of session fee would be applicable for seniors, larger families, extended family sessions, and possibly engagement photos with multiple outdoor locations*
Newborn Session - $150
Includes:
-2 hours at the studio
-40 high resolution images on a CD
Baby's First Year - $350
Includes:
-Newborn, 3 month, 6 month, 9 month, and 1 year sessions
-Each session is 1 hour in length except the newborn which is 2 hours
-Partial payment is due at each session $150 for the newborn and $50 for each milestone session
-40 high resolution images on a CD for newborn session
-25 high resolution images on a CD for each milestone session

Split Senior Session - $250
Includes:
-Two 90 minute sessions
-35 high resolution images on a CD for each session
Additional Fees
-Mileage over 25 miles round trip will be charged at current IRS rate ($0.55/mile)
-Studio set-ups in your home are subject to an additional $20/session charge
-Additional high resolution images may be purchased for your CD at $5 an image or 10 images for $30. There will still be the option to earn discounted or free additional images with print purchases!
Deposits
-Deposits will be required for all sessions in 2013

-Deposit must be paid within 7 days of booking your appointment and will hold your appointment time and date.

Thanksgiving & 2013
So the end of the year is approaching us very quickly and Ashley Marie Photography now just has a couple mini sessions left open for 2013!
First I want to thank ALL of you for an amazing 2012 - you have made so many things possible for me this year and double thanks to those who have stuck with me as I've grown in the last year - there were a few growing pains and definitely a lot of changes in my style, some changes in pricing, and expansion of the business.
*If you're interested in more info about those openings, please contact me ASAP*
Ok now on to the important 2013 stuff!
First I want to thank ALL of you for an amazing 2012 - you have made so many things possible for me this year and double thanks to those who have stuck with me as I've grown in the last year - there were a few growing pains and definitely a lot of changes in my style, some changes in pricing, and expansion of the business.
*If you're interested in more info about those openings, please contact me ASAP*
Ok now on to the important 2013 stuff!
Here's a few things that will be changing for 2013:
-Pricing
*Pricing will be changing but don't panic - it's not going to be a huge jump, just simplifying my pricing structure and allowing for less confusion on both sides! You can lock in the current pricing if you book a session by the end of December. I will honor current pricing for up to 2 sessions in 2013.
-Deposits
*Deposits will be mandatory for 2013 sessions. Unfortunately due to many last minute cancellations and no shows to appointments, I must require a deposit for each session you schedule. This will hold your place and it will credit towards your session fee, but is not refundable. I hope everyone understands it will be very important to spend time with my husband and our new baby in 2013 and that we can avoid many issues with this new policy!
-Travel
*Travel more than 25 miles round trip from my studio will be more limited in 2013. This again is to spend less time traveling and more time with my family. I will absolutely still travel to a different park or your home and the additional fees and travel charges will still apply, but I will be doing less of them (probably 1 or 2 days a month).
-Newborns
*Probably one of the bigger changes for 2013 is newborns. Newborn pricing will be increasing to $150 for the session. Again, you can lock this rate in as long as you book before the end of December. Newborn sessions will exclusively be done in my studio except for lifestyle sessions. Lifestyle sessions will be a separate item available and will not include my typical studio set-up for them.
And for the goodies!!!! Because you read through all of this good stuff - if you book a 2013 session by November 30th and mention the code word "NEW 2013" then you'll get $15 off your session fee!
Again, I appreciate every single one of you that has made this year amazing and I hope we can continue capturing your precious moments next year!
