About Amy McMurray Photography

I am a mother,wife,daughter,friend and photographer. I am committed to myself and my clients to get the best photographs possible for you and your loved ones. I am committed to the high standards of the Professional Photography Industry. I am a member of PPA, and WPPI. I attend workshops and conventions throughout the year to keep the standards of my skills fresh and knowlege of "Photoshop" so that I can stay on top of the trends and challenges that I as a photographer find myslef constantly facing in the industry. All of my products are sent to a proffessional lab away from the "Tri-Cities". This is my full time job. I do not have a "real" job that I go to and pursue this simply to fund my hobby. This is my "REAL" job. Before booking a session I will ask you what is it that you are looking for? Are you looking for something for your wall? How big is the space that you intend to place your portrait? Are you considering an album of the session? What will you be wearing? I always recommend solid clothing, try to stay away from patterns, stripes, and plaids. I typically shoot all location. I love the outdoors and I am able to stay with fresh ideas outside. In the event of inclement weather, we will simply reschedule for another day. My session fee is $50.00 and is paid in advance to reserve the date. I will spend about 45 minutes on the average session and show you around 30 proofs. I show many images that are color enhanced, textured and many black and whites. All Saturday sessions require a $300.00 minimum purchase to hold the date.I am looking forward to hearing from you and getting to know you.

    New Changes for 2010

    Wednesday, January 27th, 2010

    I hope that everyone had a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

    Since we were all snowed in for so long I have been focusing on my business structure for this year and the changes that I am planning to make.

    The first change that I am making is that I am now offering baby plans.  This plan will allow you to have the most momental moments of your “little one” captured at my studio or in your home.  I have broken up the milestones by shooting during the first ten days of your baby’s life, six months, and a first year birthday party.  At the end of the first year you will be able to take home a custom designed album of the images that I captured during the first year sessions.

    The second change that I have made is that I have created packages custom packages for you.  You will still be able to order  “a- la-cart” but there is a sizeable discount available for purchasing a package.

    The third change is that I am now offering custom session albums available of your session.  These albums will be a “coffee table” style book of the best images from your session.

    The fourth and last change that I have made for 2010 is that I am cutting back on weddings.  This was a tug-of-war decision that I have made for my family.  While I have loved being apart of my client’s wedding day I have often felt that I was missing out on a HUGE part of my children’s lives.  There have been many activities that I have steered my children away from because I knew that during wedding season it would be difficult for my husband and I to be there to support our children.  After going over this a million time in my head I have resolved to the fact that by 2011 I will not be shooting weddings at all.

    I hope to see many of you this year.  I am looking forward to trying out  a lot of new idea’s that I have for photographing children and teens.

    See you soon!
