A Move And A Sale!

I feel like I've been slacking terribly in the blog-o-sphere lately, but I also feel I have good reason. ;) This past winter the Hubs took a new job out on the west side of Michigan. It was HUGE change for our family, but one we were pretty excited about. The spring was spent looking for houses and FINALLY..this July we closed on our home. We've spent the last two months getting settled and I'm finally getting back into blogging and all things business. ;)

That being said.... I've decided to have a "We Just Moved, Lets Have A Sale" sale.  The BEST part?, this sale is available to EVERYONE!! Old clients, new clients... and everyone in between. Sessions in Livingston Co will be VERY limited, so if you are interested in booking one, please contact me ASAP, because once the dates are gone... they are gone. Sessions for those in Calhoun Co and  Kalamazoo Co., will also be limited, however, exceptions can be made for those needing weekday appts. (please contact me for weekday availability)

The sale will run from September 1st through October 30th.

Fall Family Minis!

It's FALL!! This is, without a doubt, my absolute FAVE season. The smells, the sounds, the sights.... the food (apple pie, pumpkin everything! cider and donuts).... it's just awesome goodness. Yes?? Yes.

 It's also an excellent time to update those family portraits. Whether it's been a few years since you last stepped in front of a lens... or, if you just want a quick updated photo of the kids for those holiday cards, now is the perfect time to book your session.

 I'm currently offering my Fall Family Minis (these are a big hit and book up fast!). For the entire month of October, you can get a 30 min session, with 10 digital downloads, for only $150*! (price reflects the shooting of up to 5 subjects. Additional subjects are $10 each.)

Booking now for fall + a very big announcement!

Friends, can you believe that we are almost halfway through summer vacation?! I hope that you are enjoying these warm, sunshine filled, days. I know we are. ;)

As the days seem to blend one into the other, I can't help but think of the cooler temps looming in the not-so-far off future. Michigan autumns are probably my fave season of the entire year, and as a photographer, it's one of THE busiest times of the year for me. From family portrait sessions, to new babies, everyone wants in on the gorgeous colors that Mother Nature provides during the fall months.

Knowing how busy fall is, I've decided to open up booking now for the month of October. Sessions will be EXTREMELY limited this year....which brings me to my BIG announcement. ;) If you follow me on IG (@wcmccoy) you may have noticed that we will be adding to our family the beginning of September. Yes, we will be adding our 5th, and final, little one to our crew. Normally, I would take about a 3 month maternity leave, however........ knowing how busy my fall portrait schedule typically is, and knowing how important it is to my clients to get those family photos done each year.....I have decided to take a very limited number of fall sessions.

These sessions will be offered during the month of October, on Saturday and Sunday only. There will also be special pricing for these sessions. ;) Full session (for up to 4 people, ea. add. person is $10), plus CD with printing rights......will be $400. Yes, only $400. (Normally $1500)

If you'd like to book, please email me at whitney@whitneymccoyphotography.com There is a deposit of $200 due now to hold your date, with the remaining $200 due on the day of your session.

Once spots are gone, they are gone.

Spring Sale!!

According to the calendar, spring is right around the corner. But I think Mother Nature has other plans in mind. I don't know about you, but I am soooo ready for warmer weather. I NEED Spring, and sun, and flowers, and birds, and bike rides!

Since the weather won't cooperate with my need for warmer days, why not try and make my own happy. Right? And what makes me happy?...A sale! Nothing like a great deal to brighten my mood. ;) I am going to go ahead and assume that you all feel the same way, yes? Good. Okay then, are you ready?!


Starting April 1st, book your session and get the WHOLE shebang for only $300!!!! And for clarification purposes... the "whole shebang" includes: A full session for up to 4 people (add $10 for each additional person), PLUS a CD with the edited images from your session (a full session typically yields about 20-30 images), WITH print rights!! Yes.. you read that right. You will receive full print rights to the images. Meaning... you can print as many as your little heart desires!! Print some for grandma, some for your Aunt and Uncle in Florida, print some for your wall, some for your wallet, and some for your fridge! Wanna put them on Facebook?! No prob! There will also be a folder with web-ready images all set to post to FB. So go ahead.. plaster your page with photos of your family/kids/neighbor/dog (kidding, I don't do pets... haha. But at this price, you very well good buy a session for your neighbors. You know, the ones who watched your dog/cat/gerbil last time you went out of town?)

This deal will not last... so book now! A 50% deposit is due upon booking to secure your date/time. The remaining 50% is due at the session. Did I mention that you can book as far out as you like? Yes, that means go ahead and book your childs photos for July and secure this deal for your summer session!! Want to get a jump on those fall family photos? Book now!!! That's right. All you have to do is secure your date with the 50% deposit and you are set! Seriously, could it be any easier?!

And here's a little FYI: my fall portrait sessions will be VERY limited this year, soooo... you might want to book your date now to avoid missing out later on. ;) 

Guys, this is HUGE! WMP has never offered a deal quite like this! I mean.. I've done "mini session deals" but this a FULL session, PLUS disc! You do not want miss out. This promo could end at anytime and once it's done, it's done. :( This applies to ALL regular sessions; family, baby, maternity, engagement, senior, kid, even cake smash!

Katie | having a baby | howell, michigan maternity photographer

I was a little worried the day of this shoot. I woke up that morning to some pretty nasty looking skies and sporadic rain showers all morning. Thankfully, by the time the shoot rolled around, the rain had stopped and it actually warmed up a little. ;)

This cutie mama delivered just a few weeks after our shoot. It's rather unfair how amazing she looked this late into her pregnancy. Lucky girl!! ;)

EnJoY!!

west coast family fun | howell, michigan photographer

This cutie family came all the way from California to have me photograph them! Oh... and to visit family. hee hee This is my brother-in-law and his totally gorgeous family. They were so fun to photograph. I love their laid-back-cali-style. Makes me kinda miss the west coast. Kinda. ;)

We had a great time... even though my little nephew wasn't really all that into it, we still captured some wonderful moments! EnJoY!!
