Can't be a Dream Crusher


Her curly brown hair, pulled into pony tails, bounced as she skipped up to the red-headed woman.  She tugged on the bottom of her shirt. Startled, the woman looked down at the little girl. “Guess what I am going to be when I grow up?!” she asked staring at the woman behind sparkling green eyes. “What’s that?” “I’m going to be a Princess!!” The woman began laughing. Hysterically. “Give up now, kid. That’s never going to happen. It’s impossible. You’ll probably grow up working in retail, miserable. Accept the fact now, Dreams don’t come true.”


Raise your hands if you want to slap that woman right up across her head? *shoots hand into air* Yeah. Me too. And that woman, will be me; if I don’t make this photography business work, now that it’s just me.  I will grow up to be the Dream Crusher. And we aren’t going to let this happen. Are we?

I am proud of Sara for making the difficult decision she did. Not many today know how to put the right priorities first. And I know this is one that will make her happy. And I am happy for her. 
That being said, I’m going to keep it real and let you know, I’m going to miss her as my business partner like crazy. And now I have a void to fill.
My support.
My brain-stormer.
My road trip buddy.
My filter. (I say stupid things, you’ll realize this even more now…)
My home-slice.
My confidence.
My photographer partner in crime.

Our goal from the beginning is still my goal now. That hasn’t changed. To give you fabulous pictures. To have fun. And when you leave from a session with me remembering not just the pictures but the journey there.

Let’s get down to the stuff you really want to know about. Prices.
Now a session includes: One Photographer (she’s quirky, awkward, shy, and outrageous…)
                                           1 – 2 hours of laughing, having fun, and being the amazing person you are.
                                           PASS Gallery.  (Better than a CD, it’s an instant download of your gallery on your computer, or i-phone, i-pad, or i-techy device. Includes instant printing rights to your high-resolution pictures. Also makes it easier for you to share your pictures on Facebook & twitter!)
All this for (in my best Bob Barker impression) $350.00

I have more days available for sessions both on the weekends and during the week. Shoot me an email at contact@saritneyphotography.com and let me know when we can make this magic happen!

I’m a whole mess of emotions right now. I’m nervous. I’m excited. I’m nervous (did I say this already?). And I have done a lot of “refresh” on the blog stats today and on our Facebook page to see what you all think. What you have to say is very important to me. To all my internet friends…. Guess what you have just become even more so now?
My support.
My brain-stormer.
My road trip buddy.
My filter. (I say stupid things, you’ll realize this even more now…)
My home-slice.
My confidence.
