What's New in 2012? | Killeen Family Photographer

Well hello 2012!  We're in a week deep now and I think we're ready to unveil the changes we'll be making to the business this year.  None are drastic.  Promise.  We aren't quadrupling our prices and session fees.  Sarah & I are grateful to be running a successful business in less than a year.   We've come a long way but I'll save that for our anniversary post.  We just want to say that without the support of our family, friends, and fans we wouldn't even be considering the changes we have made.  So, thank you and please know you are all greatly appreciated! Below you will see changes or additions we are making, with everything else staying the same!

2012 Services

Maternity - Newborn - Child - Family - Senior - Engagement - Bridal - Boudior - Wedding

Newborn sessions can be lifestyle or traditional.  Lifestyle newborn sessions show your family interacting at a location or in your home.  The nursery, family members, pets, and day-to-day baby tasks are all photographed.  Traditional newborn sessions show just your sweet new baby.  These are sleepy baby pictures displaying wrinkles, toes, fingers, lips, ect. all with sweet baby accessories.  A combination of both can be done by adding an additional $75 to a full session for an extra half hour.  Newborn sessions can be conducted indoors or outdoors.  

We will be expanding our services to bridals, wedding, and boudoir in 2012.  Our 2012 wedding prices will be posted soon after this post and encompass other sessions you may need for the occasion.  

Our boudoir sessions we will offer will be classy, sexy, and elegant.  No full nudity please.  Boudoir sessions can be either a full or half session.  They can be outdoors (we have private spaces available) or in the comfort of your home.  We do not have a studio at which we will conduct these sessions.

Bricen | Ft. Hood Newborn Photographer

The so called "ideal" age for shooting newborns is within the first 14 days of the precious little lives.  After this time the can get baby acne, colic, less sleepy, ect.  I say photograph babies of any age!  Why?  Because the are precious at an age and have something different to offer at every age!  Meet Bricen!  He was almost at the big 6-weeks-old mark here.  Sleeping was not an option as he was alert and awake the entire session, but why would I want to miss those big blue eyes?  And old enough to give me sweet baby boy smiles?  I love it!  

Bricen did a great job and I really enjoyed meeting his sweet mom!  We want to welcome dad home (although alittle late) from a year in Iraq and hopes he's loving his time with the family.  We meet many families with loved ones deployed or about to deploy and I really think pictures mean just a little something extra to our military families!  Scroll to the bottom of the post for a link to FREE military pictures!

Do you or someone you know need family pictures done and they happen to be military?  We have a great program that gives one family a month free pictures!  Follow this link.

If you're reading this post in January and have been thinking about booking a session with us, think quickly to obtain the current rates!  We will be announcing out new pricing soon!  Thanks!

Easton | Killeen Newborn Photographer

I didn't get newborn pictures done of Avery or Mallory when they were born other than on my point and shoot camera and my iPhone. That was before Norman Photography began.  Before I even knew about newborn photography.  I wish I had sweet baby pictures of them like Megian will have of Easton.  You look and remember how wrinkly their little fingers and toes were, how peaceful they were when they slept, how soft their bald little heads were and just sigh.  Almost makes me want another one.  Almost.  Eh, I'll just cuddle a client's every once in a while!  

Easton's momma and I go way back to my days of working my way through college at Killeen Parks & Recreation.  I use to be the Day Camp Coordinator (my self-given title).  It was a big help in preparing me for teaching though and I made many new friends and learned about the on goings of how a city services it's citizens.  Megian was my boss for a time and there was never a dull moment.  She's one of a kind and anyone who knows her will vouch that that's what makes her special and why so many people love her.  And this little guy will be loved by many too!  He's a sweet, sweet baby boy and I can't wait to see him grow and give his momma all kinds of trouble!

Barclay Family | Ft. Hood Family Photographer

Meet the Barclays!  When I received a call from Lydia about family pictures I was a little surprised because we did family pictures for them in January.  Then, I soon learned she discovered she was pregnant with baby boy #2 right after they had them done.  So, here they are again!  Sarah did their session last time, but I was lucky enough to meet the sweet family this time.  Their blonde hair, blue eyed  handsome boy was so happy to show off his baby brother.  And why not?  He is such a sweet, darling little baby!    I'm so glad I was able to do photos for them, for William is home on R&R long enough to meet his new addition before heading back overseas.  Gotta love military life huh?  Lydia is a fabulous mom though, so I know she'll be just fine!  

For the Barclays session, we headed to Salado.  Salado is a popular place for pictures, but I tell clients all the time that with each family we get a totally different look each time.  I brought along my mom's old saddle for a little pop next to the red barn I knew I wanted to use and it turned out perfect!  We did half our session at the barn and then traveled up the road to a historical monument with some rustic cabins.  I love the cabins, I've even used them for my own kiddos.  The session turned out lovely and I know I've said it before, but we really to get to meet the nicest families through this business with the cutest kids!  Take a look through a little highlight of their session...

Adams' Family | Ft. Hood Family Photographer

Meet the Adams and their new addition, Maria!  Isn't she sweet?  All my past newborns have been boys (which I love) so hearing that Lucero was having a baby girl made me so happy!  I have two cuties of my own you know!  I was fortunate to get to meet the Adams through a past client who happens to be Lucero's sister!  We had an opening in our Military Appreciation Program for August and she let us know that Nate would be home on R&R to meet his new daughter and we set it all up (thanks Liz!).  

Early this morning, we met at Central Texas College to get a nice quiet, relaxed, shady spot to keep Maria comfortable.  She was an angel (with hiccups) the whole time!  Dad doted all over his girls and mom couldn't look any better after having a baby 2 weeks ago (you know I'm jealous Lucero :)!  I hadn't taken a family to CTC lately and it didn't disappoint.  The shots came out lovely and I'm so happy they love them.  

Stay safe on the rest of your tour Nate and thank you for all you & your fellow soldiers do to keep our families safe each and every day!  

Interested in a free Military Appreciation Program session for yourself or a deserving military family?  You can find more information about the program here, including what makes a family, couple, or single eligible and what availability we have.   And we do allow reservations to be made a year in advance, so don't feel silly about calling for an appointment for next September!  We only so 2 sessions a month and they go quickly!

Uhl Family | Fort Hood Military Family & Newborn Photographer

Meet the Uhl family, another terrific family I was able to meet recently!  They were so relaxed and have some of my favorite photos.  You really can see the love!  We wish B the best on his upcoming deployment!

Maverick's Newborn Session | Killeen Newborn Photographer

We don't have a studio at Norman Photography, but we like it that way.  Mainly, because we get to see our clients in natural environments where we get realistic pictures. While I ooh and aah at the sweet sleeping baby pics like every other person, I love awake newborn pictures even more!  Maverick stayed awake the whole time and even put on a little show about why baby boys have a reputation about getting their diapers changed!  He's adorable and I am so happy for his mom and dad!  Enjoy!
