Exciting Changes at Glimmer images
CHEERS TO 5 YEARS!
Even though I've been practicing photography for over 2 decades, my business is officially turning 5 years old this spring. In the first 5 years, I have had the honor of photographing thousands of beautiful humans, and I’ve learned so much about the process along the way.
I believe the lifestyle photography experience should be fun and easy. A lot of thought and energy goes into every single session--from designing an enjoyable flow and creating opportunities for you to feel relaxed, to shopping for heirloom quality prints and products that will stand the test of time - all while having FUN in the process. I’ve made some exciting enhancements to my products, services, and the overall client experience that I hope you’re going to love.
UPGRADED BOOKING SYSTEM
While the sessions themselves are fun and lighthearted, the process of booking and payment was not as seamless as I would have liked, so I have re-configured my booking process to make it easier for you.
I want you to flow through the experience with ease, and receiving valuable tips, useful resources, light-hearted reminders to help you prepare for the session of your dreams, and (hopefully) keep you laughing and smiling throughout a typically “boring” process.
CLIENT PREP GUIDE
I have created a new client prep guide that is filled with all of the tips and tricks I have learned over the years to help you look and feel your best at your session. I’ve pulled together all the info that you need at your fingertips - from what to wear to managing your kiddos energy. Every family will receive a copy of the prep guide upon booking.
ARCHIVAL-QUALITY PRINTED PRODUCTS
One thing that I’ve noticed consistently over the years is that my families are really, really busy. So many have good intentions of displaying their photos that fall by the wayside when life gets hectic. Clients often find themselves with a hard drive of images that they love, but nothing special to remember how absolutely beautiful their family is.
The last thing I want you to have after your session is one more thing on your never-ending to-do list—Nobody needs THAT. And so, I have expanded my services to help you get those images off of your to-do list and all the way to the finish line.
Starting today, every client will have three different collections available for purchase after their session is complete and they’ve viewed a beautiful slideshow of their images. Each collection contains both digital images AND print credit that you can use to purchase archival-quality prints and products directly from your gallery. With three different collection options, you can choose your level of investment so that you only pay for what you love.
I have personally selected each and every item in the store and have partnered with the highest quality professional labs in the country. These are not your Costco-grade prints and flimsy discount canvas. They are gorgeous high-end products that will last a lifetime and beyond.
The best part? YOU get to decide to use your print credit on whatever catches your eye. All products are available for viewing and purchase within your gallery, saving you precious time and giving you peace of mind that your products will last for generations to come.
A SAMPLING OF SOME OF THE PRINT PRODUCTS AVAILABLE WITH YOUR PRINT CREDIT

Hand-torn prints that are truly unique with a rich and textured finish. Each print is carefully torn to reveal a soft feathered edge that adds a beautiful softness to each image. These archival prints are 100% cotton, acid-free and weigh 350gsm.

These beautiful hardwood frames will protect your prints from damage and help them look their very best for everyone to enjoy. Frames are carefully assembled, highlighting their true craftmanship, come in a variety of styles, and arrive ready to hang with all necessary hardware included.

Why have I MADE all these changes to my business?
Because each and every client experience is important to me. As a business owner, I have a responsibility to evolve so that I can continue to wow you from the moment you inquire to the day your products arrive on your doorstep.
Every single tweak I make in my business is a part of my commitment to continually elevate my service offerings, and also to create sustainability in my business. So many photographers burn out after just a few years in this business because they don’t have sustainable model in place, and I don’t want to be one of them. I'm working for the long game—so I can be there for your family when your newborn is ready for senior photos and your toddler needs professional headshots.
As we move into our 6th year in business, I feel excited about what’s to come for our Glimmer Images family. From the bottom of my heart - Thank you. Your love and support mean the world to me, and I can’t wait to see you soon.
