Happy New Year to you all! Did you have a big celebration or did you ring in the new year while you were sleeping? We spent New Year’s at with my sister and her husband and my niece and had a wonderful time. We played board games with the kids for a while and then we watched the movie, “The Hangover” until it was time for Dick Clark and Ryan Seacrest to come on. A side note here, I loved the movie. Perhaps I’m giving away too much about how twisted my sense of humor is but, honestly, I laughed until I couldn’t breathe. I’m a big fan of Old School, Wedding Crashers, and Anchorman, too though. Anyway, we had a great time and stayed up way too late. The next day, I woke up with the WORST crick in my neck and it’s still there. Not as bad as it was but I haven’t wanted to be on the computer too much!! Hopefully it will go away this week. On January 1st, we had the traditional ham, black-eyed peas, and collard greens in the hopes that it will bring us good fortune, good luck, and good health this year. I’m not a big fan of black-eyed peas or collards but will eat them once a year!!

I’m kind of sad that the holidays are winding down. It has been really nice having my husband around so much and the boys have certainly enjoyed seeing him as much as they have. Tomorrow is going to feel like a big shock when I look over at Sean’s chair during the day and he’s not sitting in it! It can’t last forever though and gives us something to look forward to next year. :)

Even though the last couple of weeks were a “vacation” for me, I did spend some time working. I know, that’s naughty, but I wanted to put the final touches on my new plan for 2010 and I am SO EXCITED to finally be able to tell you all about it!! 2009 was a great year for me. I met a lot of awesome families and I learned more than I can possibly express. It was my journey through 2009 that brought me to where I am today with my new plan. For 2010, I’m going digital. Yep. You read that right, my main focus is giving you all the usable digital files from our session. All of my main Collections include every edited image from your session with me. At the very least it will be 20 images but likely there will be many more than that. This is something that many professional photographers are loathe to part with, and understandably so. It can be scary thinking that someone out there has the files and might edit them on their own and THEN claim that the professional photographer did it. However, I know that the people who come to me, do so because they like the work they have seen me do on my site and just want the digital files so they may order as many prints as they want for themselves and their families without spending a fortune doing so.

Also included in my collections this year are Fine Art Edits. These are prints that I have paid special attention to and will look like a work of art that you will want to hang on your wall. In the next few days, I will have a special Fine Art Gallery added to the Gallery Links at the top of the page so you can see what I’m talking about.

I am incredibly excited to offer my clients every usable image from their session. It has been hard for me to go through and judge whether a client will like one expression better than another and I’m so happy to have found a way to offer all the files to you.

If you are interested in knowing more about my 2010 Pricing, please give me a call at 336-285-8341 or send me an email at evie@eviecurleyphotography.com. I’m working on posting all the details as far as pricing goes on the web and there will be more details posted later this week under the Information tab above.

Oh, and here’s a peek at something I will be posting about later this week!!! I have a special offer to make and it has something to do with this!!
