2021 Fall Minis

My favorite time of the year!

Fall pictures are classic and look great displayed year-round!

I love the beauty of the foliage, the crisp air, and the perfect weather.

This year, I’m offering fall minis in the bed of an orange 1965 Chevy truck.

The color scheme is orange, black, and white. Of course, pumpkins and hay bales are a must!

I love this setup and I’m so excited to share it with you!

Fall and Holiday minis book up fast, so please consider booking now. You’re invited!

When: Oct 15th, 16th, and 17th, 2021 (Message to reserve your spot!)

Time: 30 minutes with 15 edited images

Where: Peace Love and Plants in Azle, TX


Sneak peek the truck over at https://www.facebook.com/photosbyford
 

Can’t wait to see you there!

Until next time,

-Allisa AKA Ford

What to Expect + Tips https://photographybyford.com/blog/2021/9/what-to-expect-tips What Should I Expect Booking a Session with Photography by Ford?

Hi, welcome

Great question.

I have a lot of answers.

I just made an FAQ page. I’d love for you to check it out here!

So let’s talk before your session.

You can view details and pricing under my investment page.

You can book a session with me under the book me tab at the bottom right of my website page.

This will allow you to see my availability at the same time.

You will need to put down half of your session price as a deposit at the time of booking to hold your session time.

We will discuss a meeting location that works best for where you live and what your goals are for your session.

Make sure to map to this location before the day of your session and try to arrive 10 minutes early.

You will be emailed a contract to sign. This needs to be returned via email or the day of the session.
If you do not fill this out beforehand, we will have to do it when you arrive.
That may cut into your session time.

Wear coordinating, neutral, solid colors. Avoid prints, images, sayings, and logos.
I recommend dressing like you are going to a casual wedding.

During your session-

Have fun at your session.
Be yourself, be silly, enjoy the time with loved ones.
It makes for the best candid images!

Expect me to be silly too. 
I have to get the laughs and smiles somehow!

After your session-

You can expect your edited images within three weeks. 
I will email you a link to your private gallery where you can download and/or order prints.

If you enjoyed your session, I’d love for you to post a review, tell a friend, and book again!

I hope this gives you a better idea of what to expect working with me. 
If you have any other questions, check out my FAQ page or send me a message!

I’ll see you soon,

-Allisa AKA Ford

2022 Upcoming Changes Part One https://photographybyford.com/blog/2021/8/2021-upcoming-changes-part-one  

Well Hello There!

I'm so glad you are visiting my website and little blog.

If we haven't met yet, go check out my first blog post where I do a little meet and greet.

https://photographybyford.com/blog/2021/8/welcome

I have some exciting changes coming in 2022, and I’m so excited to share them with you.

This will be part one. Stay tuned for more exciting news!

Part One. The inevitable. The price increase.

I know what you are thinking, why would I (the client) be excited about paying more!?

Well, because it will ultimately benefit every one of my clients.

I will have more time and means to create bigger and better sessions and backdrops!

I am adding a part-time assistant to help with
better communications, consistency, and improved quality.

So, what will these changes look like for you?

Mini Session $125

The same mini sessions you all love.

30 minutes of professional, high-quality photography
Your choice (if desired) to choose your favorite pre-edited images 
15 high-quality, edited images with print release 
Personal, password-protected, digital gallery 
Options to purchase prints through your personal gallery

Full Session $195

I love full sessions for large families; everyone gets a close-up!

60 minutes of professional, high-quality photography
Your choice (if desired) to choose your favorite pre-edited images 
25 high-quality, edited images with print release 
Personal, password-protected, digital gallery 
Options to purchase prints through your personal gallery

Extended Session $225

All the love and then some!

90 minutes of professional, high-quality photography
Your choice (if desired) to choose your favorite pre-edited images 
35 high-quality, edited images with print release 
Personal, password-protected, digital gallery 
Options to purchase prints through your personal gallery

Newborn $250

Newborn sessions require extended patience, time, posing, and a gentle touch.
Additional time goes into editing and communication to get those perfect little pictures.

2 hours of professional, high-quality photography
Your choice (if desired) to choose your favorite pre-edited images 
35 high-quality, edited images with print release 
Personal, password-protected, digital gallery 
Options to purchase prints through your personal gallery

 

I put my heart into every single photography session.

It includes hours of communication, travel, and editing to make every single interaction
and image perfect.

I recently calculated my hourly rates and realized I was not paying myself a fair wage.
To continue to do what I love, help support my family, and be the best business owner and photographer for all of my wonderful clients-this price increase is inevitable.

I want to let you know; these prices will slowly increase to the above prices at Christmas minis in November of this year.

Fall minis will increase to $95.

Thank you for your understanding and support.

I love my clients and am so thankful for you!

With lots of love,

Allisa AKA Ford

Welcome https://photographybyford.com/blog/2021/8/welcome Welcome!

I am so glad you are here!

I am excited to start utilizing this blog opportunity on my website,
and reach all of my amazing clients!

I hope to be able to explain any questions further here; as well as post fun, interesting, and informative posts about photography and my business.

For my first post, I’d like to get to know each other better.

My name is Allisa Sullivan.
I am a mother to Livie and Stepmother to Rhaelin.
I am married to Colton and we live in Springtown, TX.
I am also a sister, daughter, granddaughter, and dog lover!
I have two dogs, Peaches and Bear.
I have one cat, June.

I love photography and people. I love Jesus. I love my family.

My favorite thing about photography is capturing the little moments in time.
The little moments that will bring a tear to your eye when you look back at that picture 10 years from now.

The moments of the kids laughing, the groom tearing up,
and the pride in grandma’s eyes.

Life is made up of little moments that we can capture and treasure forever.

I love meeting new people and hearing their stories.
I am one of those people that never meets a stranger.
I love being able to be silly and get the kids to laugh.

I love the flexibility photography gives me to spend the most time with my family.

It was nice to meet you!

I’d love to learn more about you and your family.
You can make an appointment from my book me link at the bottom of my website.

What is your favorite part of photography?

Until next time, Take care!

-Allisa AKA Ford
