It’s been a long time since I’ve written a blog post, or even had a blog.  There have been some major changes in the last 6 months around here!  We have moved out of the studio to pursue a life with less stress, and from this point forward we will only be photographing weddings and personal projects.  As much as I love kids and seniors I had to make a choice to focus on one area of my photographic career and weddings were my first love.  I will be working on a new wedding only website over the next few months and will be posting that link here when it’s ready.  I hope to update this blog every so often with some new images that I create for my own.  If you are interested in having us photograph your wedding please call us at 605-212-0235

I know it’s been a long time, and I’ve got about 100 sessions that havent been posted, but here are a few images from 4 out of the 5 sessions I shot this weekend. 

First was Jenny’s two kids, one and 4 years old.  It seems that no matter how hard I try somebody always ends up crying, but we did get the cute shots before the tears came out.

Next was Grants senior session. it was just a quick indoor session, but it was still fun.

And finishing up Saturday was Vanessa.  I was worn out, and limping along with my again-swollen ankle, but the creativity was flowing!!  Senior pictures aren’t what they used to be!  Vanessa’s mom brought her senior pictures to show me a few things and even though they were very well done the style of images was so different than what we do today.

…More to come from Vanessa later…

Sunday afternoon I had the pleasure of photographing one of my favorite families.  I have been “shooting” them for a few years now and it is so cool to watch the boys grow! 

   I have always said I would do this for free if I could, but my landlord wont let me do that.  After 10 years of PPA speakers talking about working less and making more, and “charge more and they will pay it” mentality I have had enough!  I am the happiest when I am behind the camera, and if given a choice between working 15 minutes or 8 hours I would choose 8 hours (of camera time).  I WANT TO PHOTOGRAPH YOU!!!  So with all that said Scott Meyer Photography is changing our pricing and policies to benifit both you and us.

Sessions will all include a CD with copyright release, a 6-up proofbook, and online viewing and ordering.  A one hour session is only $300 (plus tax) and each additional hour is $100.  Our print prices have been reduced by up to 80%!  4×6′s are only $5, 8×10′s are only $12.00.  To make things even easier for you, we are also shipping your proofbook and CD to you so you don’t have to figure out a time that we can both be here, even your prints you order through us will be shipped to you.

Since this is such a huge change if you have paid a session fee to us in the last 12 months all you have to do is email scott@scottmeyerphoto.com and we will mail you a coupon for $50 off your nest session (you can even give it to a friend if you want).

Because I want to shoot more hours of the day I need your help too.  If you refer one or more friends to us I will send you a $50 coupon too (limit one).

Some of our models have chosen to have one last session, and Lindsey was one of them.  You might recognize her from our last mailing piece sent to Sioux Falls High School Seniors,  the entire piece was from her first 2 sessions…not just one lucky shot!  I don’t think I would ever get tired of photographing her!

Just a couple shots that I really love!

I only have time to post one before the weekend….
