Good morning!
As most of you have noticed, I have been focusing my business toward baby & child photography for the last two years. After many sleepless nights, I have made the decision to dramatically cut the amount of non-baby related sessions beginning in 2017. I will be offering three dates a year with four session spots/date to be used for family & older child sessions in 2017. These dates will be in May, July and October each year. I will be offering these dates to past clients prior to opening them to the public. I will still be offering maternity, newborn and baby sessions up to 12 months of age for all of 2017 and will be accepting both new and returning clients for those particular sessions. I hope this isn't too disappointing as I very much love meeting new families, but I really would like to focus my craft on the tiny humans of the world <3. Yours Kindly, Rikki Shepherd xoxo Giggles & Wishes Photography www.rikkishepherd.com Charlotte MI Newborn & Baby Photographer Charlotte, Lansing, Eaton Rapids, Grand Ledge, Okemos, Mason Michigan Maternity, Newborn and Baby Photographer I am very pleased to announce that I WILL be continuing to take on child & family sessions as well as six weddings for 2016. A few weeks ago I made an announcement that I would only be offering maternity, newborn & baby sessions next year, but after receiving so many emails from my amazing clients, I couldn't disappoint them. After reading so many kind words, it really made me think and there is just no way that I could part ways with so many amazing families. Thank you all so much for your continued support. xoxo, Rikki
Hello hello!
I am finally getting around to setting up my new blog that is part of my brand new website. I have been making a lot of changes (good changes) for my business and I couldn't be more excited! New website, blog, email address, branding/logo and so much more. First, as most of you know, I am focusing primarily on maternity, newborn and babies up to one year beginning this November, so this October will be the last month that I will be taking on clients for family sessions. I will be offering family mini sessions twice a year (July & October) for 2016. I am also going to be taking on four weddings each year beginning in 2016. xoxo- Rikki |
