So here is a little update on what all has been going on with my little photography business and some things that are going to happen to the business. First, if you have had trouble getting in touch with me over the last couple of weeks, please try again.... or if you left me an email or voicemail I am trying to get them all returned asap. I am ALWAYS quicker to reply back to you if you email me @ jenreidphoto@sbcglobal.net . If you havn't heard, I had a little unexpected surgery almost two weeks ago and I am recovering well. Thank you everyone who sent your thought and prayers to me and my family. Now that I am getting recovered and ready to start shooting again, I just want to say that I do have some openings for the next two weekends. I will try to get everyone in for a session that I can.
Next thing thats going to have to happen is a little price change going on...yes I hate to have to do it, but I want to stay in business more. I hope the slight increase doesn't cause anyone any problems, but if I am going to provide you with the best possible products and talent, then it gets expensive for me to have the best equipment, the best training, and use the most awesome lab to give you great prints. For me to keep providing this quality of service it just has to be done. Honestly, I have been underpricing myself for years now, but my hopes are to eventually be able to afford to only focus on this job and not a second one as well. If I can ever go full time with photography, then I can give much faster customer service as well. My pricing changes will include new wedding pricing, print pricing, and I am adding a Newborn and Bridal package. The change will be happening September 15th. If you have already officially booked your wedding (meaning that I have your wedding retainer fee and your signed contract in hand), then your package price will not change. Session Fees and Wedding Retainer fees are staying the same.
Lastly, I am going to be announcing dates for special fall sessions. There will be a day set for several appointments with Fall Portraits in the Park in Wichital Falls, TX and also another day for Senior Portraits, Bridal Portraits, or any of your more urban looks like we did last year in either Deep Ellum @ Dallas or Brick Town @ OKC..I would love to hear your comments on which location we should choose for this....get enough bookings, we could do both!!! We all had such a great time last year...you shouldn't miss out on this opportunity. Remember these are also great times to get your family portraits taken for your Christmas Cards....YES I said Christmas Cards! We need to schedule your appointments for these cards in October or November. Wow...its getting close isn't it???
Okay, that's all for now. I look forward to hearing your thoughts on any of these things. Thanks for all the support and loyal customers I have had over the years. I couldn't do any of this without you!

Will and Annie came all the way from Dallas on Sunday for this wonderful photo shoot. Annie was really wanting her pics to be out in the country with a big open field. Well, they came to the little 'ole town of Ryan and did they ever get country!!! For those of you who live around Ryan, Donna and I took them to Sugden! How much more "country" can you get than that?? Make sure to check out Donna's Blog to see her shots from Sunday too!
Here is the entire family portrait. They are such a good looking family aren't they! Annie is wearing a vintage dress of her grandmothers. I absolutely loved it!
Besides their good looks...they are the funniest, sweetest, and adventurous couple I have met in a long time. The way they interact with each other...I just loved watching them together. They made my job soooo easy!
They TRULY enjoy each other as you can see.
Will & Annie are getting married this December in Dallas and they had these boots custom designed to wear in their "Southern Comfort" themed reception.
This photo session is pretty much a 2 part session. This picture here is a little teaser to show you what's to come. Will and Annie did a "Day After" session. This is a session that the Bride and Groom may opt to do so that they can have a relaxed couple of hours to get some wedding pics together...instead of just the rushed and stressed wedding day pics. This is not Annie's wedding dress for the official "big day". She bought this dress just for this shoot. It was absolutely gorgeous! I will be posting more pics from this session this weeked, so keep checking back for that.
