Just a quick update as I am making some changes to the offerings of the studio, and will be phasing out gift certificate purchases starting immediately.
This simply means that I will no longer be selling gift certificates, but I will certainly honor those which were purchased - of course!
The reason for this change is simple. Gift certificates are very convenient for the buyer of the gift certificate, and make a quick, easy and thoughtful way to provide your friends and family with something meaningful. However, for the recipient, custom photography may not be ideal, especially if the selected photographer's style does not match the recipient's taste, or if the recipient's budget does not permit them the luxury of being able to purchase prints from their session. In this way, a gift intended to be a cherished memory can become burdensome.
Custom photography is a very personal choice, and we each have our own taste for what we artistically appreciate. Therefore, gifts which provide art to a recipient are very difficult to gauge, and hence I have decided to no longer offer gift certificates towards studio services.
There will be more changes to the studio offerings over the next few months including new album offerings, memory books and art books, and I will update the blog to reflect these changes as they occur!
