Studio Grand Opening Special | Children and Headshots | Indianapolis Photographer

January 10, 2016 in Marketing

I love shooting outdoors - the light, the greenery, the fall backgrounds, the variety, the wide open spaces. But....I live in Indiana. Although we were blessed with an amazing fall and temperate weather into December (I had an outdoor newborn session in mid-December!), the snow and cold is upon us. I look out my window as I write this and can see the snow blowing - it's pretty but not kind to my camera, my hands, and most importantly my clients. So......that's where my new studio comes in!

I love my studio more than I thought I would and I've been having fun testing it out on my two knuckleheads. See below. (don't worry, my youngest doesn't have a giant foot - he had a cast on his foot at the time). (:

My studio is mainly intended for children, and due to it's size, preferably no more than two (and they have to like each other enough to be photographed close together). (: Studio sessions are intended to be quick and easy to get some high-quality, updated photos of your kids that you can place on the wall. And no lining up and saying "cheese" - creativity and FUN are important parts of my studio sessions. (:

JANUARY SPECIAL: Here's the low-down on my special that is running through January 31, 2016:

* $100 for a 45 minute studio session ($75 off regular price)

*Includes an online gallery of all edited photos

*Digital images with print release for your favorite 15 images

*Option to upgrade for $50 to receive all edited digital images

Book before January 31st to receive the special price. Sessions purchased under the special must be held prior to March 31, 2016.

The studio is also perfect for individual headshots. Contact me if you are interested in a headshot session. Packages start at $89.

If you want to take advantage of my Studio Grand Opening Special, please contact me at kellymartinphotos@gmail.com or 765-749-4388.

Small Business Saturday | Deals Through November 28th | Indianapolis Family Photographer

November 22, 2015 in Marketing

Hello to all of my wonderful clients and potential clients! Now that I'm an owner of a small business and have a much larger appreciation for all small business owners, I wanted to join in the fun of Small Business Saturday. I have never been a huge fan of Black Friday, but this is a cause that is worth supporting and honoring. I know that many think that photography can't be that hard. You're just taking pictures, right?? Or my favorite: Your camera takes awesome pictures! Well, there is so much more to it than that, and I will not go into all of the technical things I think about during a shoot plus everything else that is going on (props, poses, corralling kids, lighting, background, keeping a smiling face). Or I won't go into all of the prep I do for each shoot (I am a preparation queen). Then there is the business side - a completely different animal - closing the books each month, insurance, website maintenance, BLOGGING, marketing. And I'm not here to complain - I LOVE this job more than any accounting job I've ever had and my boss is pretty awesome too (oh, wait, that's me!) I'm just here to say support small businesses - I bet you will get better service from them than you ever will with any big-box store. (:

So anyway.....to my deal.....

Book a 2016 photo session from now through Saturday, November 28th (aka Small Business Saturday) and receive discounted rates: $225 for a portrait or lifestyle session (regularly priced at $300) and $125 for a mini session (regularly priced at $175). As a refresher, my portrait sessions last 1-2 hours and you get all edited digital images. My mini sessions are 30-45 minutes long and you receive your pick of 15 edited digital images with the option to purchase the rest for $50.

The not-so-fine print: You only need a $75 non-refundable deposit (that goes towards your session fee) to receive the special price and to hold a tentative date (save the rest for Christmas presents). Limitations may apply to certain dates. Special only applies to sessions expected to be scheduled in 2016. Special does not apply to gift certificates and sessions are non-transferable.

And for total cuteness, because I can't have a blog without any pictures, my sweet Nicholas playing in leaves a few weeks ago.
