DANIELLE AND DAN-Baby Bump

Danielle and Dan are having a baby!!!! I was so excited to hear the news from them! They were one of my wedding couples last year--and we had so much fun working with them on their beautiful wedding day(which was featured in the newest issue of Columbus Bride--more on that to come!). Needless to say, I was thrilled when Danielle contacted me with the exciting news that they were expecting a new addition to the family. We headed to Franklin Park Conservatory for the session--since our Ohio weather is still not feeling like spring. Danielle is nothing short of adorable as a mommy-to-be. Dan was his usual funny and entertaining self--making for some fun, silly photos in addition to all the gorgeous ones!

I was honored to get to capture this next stage in their family life. Coming up next--when baby Liam makes his appearance--a newborn session. I can't wait to get to meet him!

CAMDEN-Neworn photo session

So much for the theory that newborns don't do anything but sleep. Baby Camden was awake and amazingly alert for the couple of hours that I was at his home for his newborn session. He was determined that he wasn't going to miss a thing. Mom and Dad say that he really sleeps well on a regular basis--and that he isn't normally awake for that long at once. I'll bet he really slept well that night! I guess he didn't want to miss a minute of his photo opportunity. Of course, we were planning on getting some newborn sleeping photos, and being able to pose him at will. Camden was having none of that. He was sure that he was going to be awake and participate in it all.

How cute is he? I loved getting to meet him in his first week of life. Mom and Dad are wedding clients from a few years back--so it's exciting to see their family grow! You may remember them from their pregnancy photo session on here not too long ago. We got in a variety of pics for the newborn session--including the new family. We did some photos with daddy's firefighting gear. We tried to get him in dad's helmet, but he is already too big. I have a feeling he's going to be a big boy. Congratulations to Elizabeth and Jason--you're going to have lots of fun with your new little guy!

Wedding Negatives or Digital File Disc Sale! 50% off--Two weeks only!

Attention all past brides and grooms! I have had a lot of interest from past Brides & Grooms in purchasing the negatives and/or digital files from their weddings. A lot of them go back to the time when my policy was to not make the negatives or files available for sale. As most of you know, times have changed. Most of my brides and grooms now want access to all of their photos to print and post on-line(Facebook of course) as they wish. I have had couples contact me and I have made the negatives and/or files available to purchase. The $500 price is the same as for current/future brides and grooms.

Now for the exciting news. I am running a 50% OFF SPECIAL on all negatives and/or digital files from all past weddings for the next two weeks. That's right, from now until March 13'th, you can purchase your negatives and/or digital files for only $250(plus 6.5% sales tax). After March 13'th, the price will return to $500. Take advantage of this special deal now to make prints for your friends and family, scrapbook, post your photos on your own personal blog or Facebook and every other use you can think of. This is an awesome deal for those who procrastinated and never did anything with their wedding photos, those who just couldn't fit large prints in the budget at the time of the wedding, and those who would just like to have their negatives/files to keep for their own peace of mind.

You can either e-mail me valerigaleri@columbus.rr.com or call either (740)687-0508 or (614)638-6839 to let me know that you're interested. I will need to know your wedding date, as well as both bride and groom's last names. You will also need to tell me if you would like me to send you an on-line invoice to pay by credit or debit card and provide the address for billing. You can also mail a check or pay in person by check or cash if you would like to pick up from me directly. If you would like your purchase shipped, there will be a $12(insured) charge and I will need shipping information.

All negatives and/or digital files will be supplied in the form that they were already captured. Everything from around 2004 and earlier are strictly negatives, after that they may be a combination of both negative and digital files(on a disc). All recent weddings are strictly digital. The digital files are all high-resolution files. I can also provide a Copyright Release for printing, upon request. Call or e-mail with any questions or to purchase!
