How I Wonder's Closing Shop

2010-02-01T11:38:00.000-08:00

Happy Winter, everyone! Miss seeing all your pretty faces!

So it looks like I’m not the WONDER woman after all and have decided to close shop. This year we welcomed our 4th child, Sam, into the family...

I also started homeschooling my kids this fall, and I’ve found that while my heart is very full, so are my hands!! There’s simply no room for business in this season of life. And yes, sadly for me, this means no beach sessions… I was really looking forward to seeing some of you “regulars” again! I just love you guys- you’re so FUN, the best!

As I imagine I won’t be shooting again professionally, (at least for several years,) I’m throwing myself a goodbye party with a huge “closing shop” sale. All of your old prints will be available for nearly 70 to 75% off for the next month ONLY so that I can try to close this chapter of my life with a nice pretty bow on it. I’d love to get your images back into your hands for any future needs you might have (keepsake purposes, gifts, scrapbooking, graduation slides, wedding slides, or just any more printing you might want to do with them down the road…) and so I’m offering a cd of your actual images for an "unheard-of low price": $100. This is PER session and this is for ONE MONTH ONLY (ends March 1st) in hopes that I can motivate you all to help me tie up any loose ends with anything you might want from me in the future. If you have used me for more than one session, you will want to clarify which session/sessions you want to order on cd.

The most efficient way to obtain a cd is to send me the fee via paypal (send to: Katie@howiwonderphotography.com) and make sure I receive the correct mailing address and session you are wanting in the memo. Once the payment clears, I will start working on burning and mailing the disc copies asap. (There is always the potential for many requests to come through, so I would be grateful for your patience with me as I process and get them out to you.)

The discounted month-long print prices follow:

Orig. SALE PRICE

4x6- $30 $5
5x7- $30 $5
8x10- $45 $12
11x14- $65 $15
16x20- $125 $35

textured finish- $5
mounted- $10
Orig. SALE

Fine Art Gallery Wrap- 16x20 $275 $140 (nearly 50% off)
Fine Art Small Wrap- 11x14 $105

ALL SALES FINAL.

Love and Blessings to you all-

Going once, going twice...

2008-09-22T14:03:00.001-07:00

February and March are now fully booked, this leaves the last weekend of January only for Ocala visits, and some local shoots left around that time, as well...

Thanks!

Update!

2008-09-22T11:11:00.001-07:00

The first January visit is now fully booked, and March is nearly full... so do email me to grab a session while I still have some!

Thanks!!

Now Scheduling Winter Sessions!

2008-09-22T05:58:00.001-07:00

Good morning!

I am now taking clients for January through March of '09. New pricing, images, and session details are on the main site. Inquire about availability on any given day for an Orlando session. Ocala session dates follow, and are all on Saturdays:

January 3^rd

January 31^st

February 28^th

March 28^th

Email me if you are interested in booking a session as they will go fast. Thanks so much- I'll look forward to your shoot!

BEACH SHOOTS- I am starting a beach waiting list for 2010. **This will not guarantee you a spot, but will hold your place in line when the number of sessions available is determined.** Dates and location, and number of shoots are TBA. (Come next Summer or Fall, I will revisit this list and if you are still wanting a spot, I will take deposits and release the rest of the info at that time.)

Monday Morning!

2008-09-20T17:18:00.001-07:00

Fall Greetings, everyone! Just wanted to let you know that MONDAY MORNING I will start scheduling Winter '09 sessions. The web site is now updated- prices and all- if you want to check it out. The Ocala visit dates will be announced Monday, and you can certainly schedule here in Orlando anytime from January-March, but only through March, as I am expecting in May. This means I will not be doing Beach 2009 sessions this summer, but will likely start a waiting list for Beach 2010 Monday, as well. The actual beach dates and locations are TBA!!

Thanks!!

Playing Catch-up

I am behind posting pictures here for about 7 shoots, so here are an assortment from 5 of them to catch up a little. :)

Rainy Day

2008-04-23T19:27:00.001-07:00

This is the first shoot I've EVER had to reschedule! I took these first two shots inside this hallway but was paranoid about how low the light was so we rescheduled and shot the second half of what you see. I've shot in rain MANY times, but it was an all-out THUNDERSTORM. Her dad had to drive me to my car!

Brown-eyed Beauties

2008-04-21T17:34:00.001-07:00

Don't miss the squirrel! A little too comfortable with humans, I'd say?

Two is Magical...

2008-04-15T16:47:00.001-07:00

I don't care what they say! Two is the best age!! This little one had the CUTEST VOICE you've ever heard. The way she pronounced her words... well they don't need pictures, they need a video camera!

HER PRECIOUS LITTLE BROTHER. :)

Gaylord Palms

2008-04-07T07:07:00.001-07:00

This shoot was for a family from Michigan, down for a conference at Gaylord Palms, which is a beautiful resort for a shoot. This little boy is "Jack" and he has the BLUEST eyes! He is quite a traveler and was amazing for having not had a nap that day!

I got to thinking about it, and I've done shoots for people from not only Greater Orlando families, for families from Ocala, Jacksonville and Tampa, but also from Michigan, Wisconsin, Virginia, and Iowa- what a treat; to meet such great families from all over (and to see some of you I already know again!)

The middle picture above is my favorite from this whole shoot... here it is again:

His mom was trying to find a cupcake at the resort to use for birthday pictures but all she could lay hand on was a piece of Keylime Pie, which I think is hilarious and so fitting for being on vacation in Florida.

My New Favorite Location

2008-04-03T20:33:00.001-07:00

I just did another shoot here yet to post (as I am behind on posting shoots.) But isn't it a BEAUTIFUL place??

Dancing, Running and Fixing Her Hair...

2008-03-24T19:11:00.001-07:00

Showing me how she can do her hair all by herself now...

Her drama face.

This hair clip she's using is actually for a My Little Pony, but whatever.

Dancing...

Bridal Portraits

2008-03-21T16:20:00.001-07:00

This is my beautiful cousin. You will be seeing her wedding photographs post here in waves as I chip away at proofing them.

As a rule, I don't shoot weddings, (so if I replied to an email of yours saying this, it's true, I promise!) But for family, the rules change. :)

Face the Day

2008-02-27T08:38:00.001-08:00

This was a shoot for Face the Day Aveda Spa in Ocala. They were needing pictures for their website. It was a fun change to not sweat like a pig doing face-dives trying to catch a 2 year old laugh. :) (But I do enjoy that, as well, believe it or not.)
