Last week I alluded to some exciting new and changes for Tanya Shields Photography and there is lots to talk about!
I am now accepting Thursday and Friday bookings for October 2010 and later!!
Many of you have been surprised in the past that I was available only on weekends and at times it made for some tricky scheduling. While my bookings doubled over last year, I was still holding a full time position at the QEII Health Sciences Centre and trying (albeit failing miserably) to wrestle with our ever growing laundry pile!
Having made the decision to decrease my hospital hours by 50%, I am excited to move forward with this crazy dream of mine that so many of you have made a reality.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart ♥
Also arriving in October will be the christening of my new studio space! A cozier, more intimate space, it will allow the comforts of home to “my babies” and expectant mamas, while providing full access to my ever growing stash of props and backdrops! Stay tuned for pics as summer draws to a close.
As a side-note, I completely switched out all of my camera gear last week, and couldn’t be happier with my decision. That probably won’t interest many other than my photographer colleagues, lol, but it goes to show how eventful things have been lately!
And finally (if you’re still reading along!) I have the first of two special promotions to announce:
All studio sessions (effective immediately for October and later bookings) will have a reduced session fee of only $125. This applies to all types of sessions, including newborn! If you are interested in a session, please fill out an online booking form HERE.
The second promotion will be announced on Monday, and relates to the Christmas mini sessions!! Stay tuned!
I am heading to beautiful Montreal this Thursday for five days of pure awesomeness. That’s a word right? :) I will have lots of images to share when I get back, and hopefully a few new tricks up my sleeve!
And because a post isn’t a post without pictures, here’s a gorgeous shot of Shannon and Thea from yesterday to tide you over! ♥
I love taking photographs…..but I will often tell my clients that my favorite part is seeing their faces when they get the final product. Nothing gets a better reaction than the custom flushmount albums, nothing.
The first one I ever gave, invoked tears. The second, same. And so on and so on. I have been fortunate enough to sell them on blind faith from my clients. They believed me when I told them how fantastic they were. They trusted I was telling the truth when I said what a great showcase they would be for their memories. Yet still, everytime, the response has been surprise. Surprise at the quality, the feel, the smell, the texture. “They’re so much better than I was already expecting!”
My point in all of this, (and yes, I do have a point!) is that I now have a beautiful flushmount sample to show clients before they place their orders.
The album you see here is a panoramic 16×6 album, but is also offered in 8×8 and 10×10 square.
I had the opportunity to hang my UC Baby 3D Ultrasound display last week, and just realized that I hadn’t blogged with the photo!!
The photo quality isn’t the greatest, but I think it looks fantastic in person, and am really proud of it. There are also several smaller framed pieces throughout the waiting room.
The gallery wrap over the chair is 30″x30″ and the larger piece above the sofa is 30″x40″
If you have a UC Baby 3D Untrasound appointment scheduled, or know someone who does…..don’t forget to ask for my special discounted session!!!
You can get to the UC Baby website by clicking the logo at the bottom of my blog 
I was absolutely thrilled and honored when the UC Baby 3D Ultrasound Clinic asked if I would be a feature photographer, and display my maternity and newborn work in their new Bedford location.
The patient lounge/reception area is perfect backdrop for my beautiful clients, and hopefully an excellent avenue for reaching out to future clients!
Two GINORMOUS canvases are en route, and will be hung as soon as they arrive, but this evening I was in and hung a small interim display using the images you see above.
Congratulations to Nicole and Angela on the new franchise! I wish you good luck and good vibes for your big opening day tomorrow!!
