Free Photo Shoots!

That’s right — I’m offering FREE photo shoots! These can be family, senior, engagement, fashion, business, baby, pet, maternity or any other kind of picture you can imagine (well, almost anyway)! That’s a $200 value for absolutely nothing but the pure joy of spending some time with yours truly!

I have some pretty fun shoot sites in mind, but if there is a place near and dear to your heart, you are more than welcome to let me know. Once I’m done with the pictures, I’ll send them off to be edited and then upload them to my proofing section where you can order however many pictures you would like!* You can even give friends and family members the password to your online proofing site so they can order prints, too. Couldn’t be simpler! If interested, leave me a comment and I’ll get in contact with you so we can set up the shoot.

I did a photoshoot this weekend for my cousin Rebecca and had an absolute blast. These were “just because” pictures since her mom never likes the quality of school pictures. Rebecca and I had a great time laughing, and we even had our own Talladega Nights moments. We found ourselves saying several times “I don’t know what to do with my hands” and then bursting into laughter. Rebecca will be a senior this year, and I look forward to doing her senior pictures. She’s a natural! (These images are straight out of the camera…no editing whatsoever)

 

 

*NOTE: I am no longer offering free photo shoots. However, you can check out my web site www.nicoleneffphotography.com for my current portrait session price.

 

Inspired!

I’m feeling quite inspired today. I’m not sure if it’s the wonderful weather we’re having — sunshine, blue skies and warmer temperatures — but I just feel my creative juices flowing. It also could be the fact that I’ve been working on my photography blog and am getting close to being ready to promote it. All I need is a fabulous picture of me (I realized last night that there are very few good pictures of just me since I’m usually the one behind the camera) and a few colorful pictures to add to the site.

This weekend, I plan on doing some shooting. And I’m going to use my family as guinea pigs. We will be doing our family pictures with my sister’s father-in-law (who is also a photographer) tomorrow, and I hope that I will be able to get some practice in posing people and working in the manual setting on my camera (well, actually someone else’s camera I’ve borrowed until I get the Canon 40D). And I’m sure that Easter Sunday should have some great opportunities for pictures. Who doesn’t love taking pictures of little kids all dressed up in beautiful pastels?

I’m just so ready to get going with this already. I’ve been taking classes for about three months now, and in the meantime I’ve been bursting at the seams to start shooting and hopefully get some clients for weddings, engagements, senior shoots, whatever I can get my hands on. So if you know someone who would love to have their pictures taken by me (for free until I get some practice under my belt), please send them my way!
