Happy Hanukkah 
Merry Christmas
I’m going on vacation . . .
I’ll be back in 2009 with a New Year’s day family session!
Yearly Archives: 2008
My Christmas cards and print orders are all delivered. The big blog move to www.sarahmcgephotography.com is complete and my new website is almost-ready-for-prime-time. So now what to do in the off-season? Keep learning, of course. I’m taking a 4-part class at the new MPLS Photo Center — Lighting Bootcamp, taught by the very talented Darin Back. We’ve been playing with soft-boxes and beauty dishes, all sorts of backgrounds and light modifiers. It’s also been a great way to meet a lot of other Twin Cities photographers. Here are a few portraits from the first two sessions.
And one Darin took of me with my camera and 85 mm f/1.4 lens:
Hopefully when our class meets again it won’t be so snowy so we can play with the lights outside!
Welcome to the brand-new front page of www.sarahmcgeephotography.com! Now my blog is the first thing you see when you visit my website and you can keep tabs of all of my new work. My new portfolio site should be ready around the first of the year . . . please stay tuned.
And with the new year, I’m also launching new pricing. You can download a copy of the new pricelist by clicking on the picture to the right. This pricelist goes into effect as of today, December 13, 2008.
I will be honoring my 2008 pricelist through December 31, 2008 – so if you want to book at those rates, contact me right away so we can reserve your date! You don’t have to pick your package yet, but I do require a signed agreement and $500 deposit.
My 2009 portrait session feel will remain $125 for up to 4 people. My print pricing will be changing slightly. Please contact me if you want more details!
**Yes, I know that all my pictures are missing. I’ll be fixing that soon.
This morning, after some power shopping at the No-Coast Craft-O-Rama, I headed over to take some family photos in South Minneapolis of little Stella. She’s grown so much since the last time she was featured on the blog!
She was certainly a happy camper this morning.
And look at those beautiful blue eyes!
And of course, we took pictures of the whole family:
Oops! I’ll let the family photos be a surprise for the Christmas cards. All this reminds me that next year I need to set some firm holiday deadlines! I want to make sure everyone gets their custom-designed cards, large prints, and albums in time for Christmas & Chanukah. If you’re still planning to place a print order, please do so by Wednesday, December 10 to ensure timely delivery.
One last pic:
Great to see you again, Stella. Happy Holidays!
Right before I flew back to Minnesota, I got to take some portraits of two of my favorite little ones. We met at a park and had much fun playing as the snow fell all around us. There was much eating of snow:
Some snowball throwing and snowman building:
And of course, some swinging!
What a great morning! Thanks for hanging out with me, you two.
After all that excitement, I had a great nap on the plane!
Happy Thanksgiving, blog-land! I’m home visiting my parents in Iowa for the long weekend. My family has a late Thanksgiving dinner, so I’ve spent much of the day editing photos. I’m getting hungry for dinner, though!
Yesterday, before I flew home to Iowa, I took pictures of Hazel and her parents who were in town from Colorado. We only overlapped in the Twin Cities for a short time, so we made the most of our session. Isn’t she a cutie?
See you guys on the slopes this winter!
