Contest for all past clients!

admin February 6th, 2010

I decided to have a great contest as a thank you to all my wonderful clients!

I absolutely love the process of photography.  I love planning your session with you, doing the photographs, processing the photos, and seeing those great prints come back to me before I package them and give them to you.  At that point I consider the photography process about 98% complete.  What I really, really love is seeing the process 100% complete with the photos on display in your homes, your scrapbooks, and however else you choose to display them!

Here’s the deal on the contest- it requires minimal effort on your part and the winner will get a FREE session with all your proofs on CD for you to print as you choose.  If you would like to order products through me, I will give you a discount code for 25% off those products.  I’ve added some amazing, beautiful new products to offer clients.  You can get more information on these products here: http://heathertaylorphoto.com/blog/?page_id=877    All you have to do is send me a photograph via email to heather @ heathertaylorphoto.com (remove spaces) of how you have displayed your photos from our session!  You can enter up to two photos for the contest.  I’d love to see how you’ve hung your prints, displayed your storyboards, and showcased your photos.   If you’ve scrapbooked a layout with the photos, you’re more than welcome to use that as an entry!  Easy, right? :)  I will then post those to my blog and have people vote for their favorite!  The voting will be done differently than it was last year to make things more fair, but I’ll get those details out when the time comes.  The deadline for getting those photos to me is  March 1, 2010.

Yes, there is some “fine” print. :) 
First, in the photos you send to me, please don’t include photos from other photographers- that is copyright infringement and I don’t want to go there. :)  If you’ve got some of your personal photos mixed in, great!  If you have any questions on that please just ask. 

Second, in regards to the winner of the free session:  I realize that many of you have moved out of state since we have done your photos.  As far as I’m aware, most of you have family or friends in the area and will possibly be visiting again in the future.  I’m going to make it so that the winner of this session has until December 2011 (almost 2 years!) to do the session.  I currently live in Utah County, but I’m often in the Cache Valley/Logan area and everywhere inbetween, so I know we’ll be able to make this work for you!  (Minimal travel fees may apply.) The “free” session is not good for extended family sessions, but will work for a maternity, newborn, child, senior, engagement, or family session, and the CD of your proofs will have all the photos in color and black&white, sized to 4×6, 5×7, and 8×10, as well as some square crops.  Enlargements (prints larger than 8×10) must be made through me, but you’ll get a 25% discount on them.

This contest is meant to be fun and to give ideas for how to display your photographs- please keep it honest and fun!  :)

Here are a few pictures from my house to get you started!  We’ve been in our house about 8 months now and I’m still not done decorating, but I’m getting close.    I love decorating with photos, as my kids and family are what I treasure the absolute most!

Meet my new niece!

admin February 5th, 2010

I got to take pictures of my beautiful tiny neice yesterday!  She’s the sweetest, cutest little thing and I wanted so much to bring her home with me! ;)   I just have one to share now, but I’ll have more later.  You can see her momma’s maternity photos HERE.

Updates!

admin January 28th, 2010

I have just finished updating my website…. check it out here! www.heathertaylorphoto.com

I’ve updated the galleries with some fresh faces, though I left some of my older faves, too. :)

Every January feels so BLAH with the holidays over and waiting for spring to come, so I’m going to be doing a few fun things to spice things up a bit!

I’ve got a contest coming next week, with the winner getting a FREE session with all your proofs on CD…. you are not going to want to miss it!

In the next few weeks I’m also going to be giving away (5) 20% off entire purchase coupons.   Pretty cool, right? :)

I’m also already starting to book for spring/summer… if you’re interested in a session in the next few months contact me soon!

Here’s a recent pic of my little Allie… the poor girl is so tortured! :)  I sure have fun dressing her up though!

New Product- Mini Gallery Mounted Prints

admin January 22nd, 2010

I absolutely LOVE these and am thrilled to offer them to clients!

These are the miniature version of the larger gallery mounted prints.  They came with a lovely linen texture and an easel backing, making them SO easy to display!  They come in the 4×6 or 5×7 size.

Aren’t they pretty? They’re definitely one of my favorite products!

New Product- Proofbooks {Northern Utah Photographer}

admin January 19th, 2010

I’m excited to add these to my collection of products to offer clients!

Proofbooks come with ALL the proofs (you pick color or b/w) from your session (sized to 4×6 or 5×7) and are given a beautiful linen texture.  The cover can be a clear or frosted cover…. this particular example has a clear cover.

I’ve got another amazing product to feature later this week!

New Product- Digital Packages! {Utah Photographer}

admin January 8th, 2010

I’m very excited to be offering these digital packages for 2010!  In the past I have offered the digital files for purchase, but I’ve decided to simplify the process a bit.

Here are some reasons people have purchased the files on CD in the past:

-Ability to make unlimited prints of pictures to give to family/friends, and to use in scrapbooking

-Keep the photos archived

-Ability to use the photos to make your own holiday cards, graduation announcements, baby announcements, photo books, calendars, etc.

When you purchase the digital files from your session, they will come in a pretty little package like this:

(excuse the “blacked-out” portions…. that’s just for this post for privacy reasons) 

Inside it will have your CD, a print release, and some tips/guidelines for printing your photos.  On your CD I will have the photos you have purchased sized to the 4×6, 5×7, and 8×10 sizes, along with some square crops for photos that a square crop works well with.  The photos will be in both a color and black&white version.  Note that the photos can be used for personal use only. Also note that the images will not be printable for sizes larger than 8×10…. enlargements must be ordered through me.  (And trust me, if you’ve got a big print hanging in your house it will look amazing…. my big prints come mounted and given a clear, protective coating…. they’re awesome!) After you have seen your proofs from your session, you will have the option to purchase some or all of the digital files in 1 of 3 ways.

Note that there CAN be some varience in these products with sizes if you’d like… just contact me for more information and we can work something out!

$225

(1) 11×14 mounted print

(2) 8×10 prints

Let me know if you have any questions or would like to schedule a session.  I’ve also got two new products to feature next week!

Merry Christmas! {Utah Baby Photographer}

admin December 23rd, 2009

I wanted to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas!  I’m very excited for some quality time with my family & extended family over the next several days… I love this time of year!

I will be back in 2010 with some very exciting and new things for Heather Taylor Photography.  I’ve got a fun (and different!) contest planned, and I’m really looking forward to meeting new clients and having sessions with wonderful former clients, as well.

I’ll leave you with some photos of my sweetie in her (two) Christmas dresses.  I ordered one, and when it still hadn’t come 3 weeks later, I ordered another….. both arrived about a week later on the same day!  Go figure. ;)

Happy Holidays!

beautiful mamma to be {Utah Maternity Photographer}

admin December 21st, 2009

My sweet SIL & BIL have graced my blog a few times before… I love photographing them and they’re always so cute together.  Now they’re expecting their first baby in about 5 weeks, and I’m so, so thrilled for them!  They will be the most wonderful parents.  I can’t wait to meet their little baby girl!

We had a wonderful time freezing our tushies off stomping through the snow and doing some photos.  They’re such good sports…. hope it was worth it! ;)

Here’s a few of my faves!

Isn’t she the cutest pregnant woman you’ve ever seen?!  I think so too. :)

admin December 8th, 2009

Just a quick note that there will be a few changes coming to Heather Taylor Photography for 2010.  I am very excited about them.  I still have some awesome new products that I will be showcasing over the next few months, and I will also be introducing new print/product packages, including a few digital packages!

I also have a very cool contest coming up in January for ALL past clients.  I’m still working out a few of the details, but I’m so excited for it and will be sharing the info soon.

adoration {Utah Family Photographer}

admin November 13th, 2009

Meet my amazing sister-in-law and brother-in-law!  Although we froze most of the way through the session, we had a lot of fun at this gorgeous location.  I absolutely love spending time with these two.  They’ve been married for a few years, but they adore each other and were very affectionate and could have easily passed as newlyweds! ;)

told ya they’re so cute together. ;)

This family has quickly become great friends of ours, and mom/dad are awesome with their FOUR boys!  They’re such great kids, too.  :)

Check ‘em out… aren’t they cute?

These two spent a lot of time smooching in the elevator….. ;)

One of my absolute favorite things about this location was the PERFECT spot for silhouettes!!
