good-bye 2013

hello 2014

What can I say about this year?  2013 was an amazing year for Justina Kubat Photography and by amazing I mean I photographed over 80 sessions including several weddings and added Sarah to my team.  I traveled to NYC for a workshop with 3 wonderful ladies & had the opportunity to chat with an amazing local photographer…these 2 experiences have inspired me.  They inspired me to be a better photographer, to value myself and my work, and to be a better business person.  I want to personally thank each and every one of  them for the little piece they contributed, because all those little pieces are going a very long way and are playing a role in helping me to take control of my business in 2014.  

So for you my clients, your sessions will be much more interactive, they will capture the true essence of your family, you will have the opportunity to have an in-home viewing session of your images once complete.  My goal is to provide you with an overall experience you will will remember year after year.  I will be doing less themed sessions this year as this is not my passion and my passion is to create timeless images of your family that you will want to display on your wall for a lifetime.  Although I do love themed mini-sessions I feel they are "what's hot now" and in a few years you'll pull them out look at them and ask yourself "why?"… quite similar to my thoughts when I look at those glamour shots photos I had done back in the 90's.. yeah.. I said it… who else had those "trendy" photos done?  Did you display them on your wall?  Nope… I didn't either.

  Speaking of displaying images, I want my clients to get those images out of digital form and display them on their walls for all to see.  I will no longer be offering digital images as an all inclusive package in 2014.  You will still have the option to purchase these as an "add on" to your collection.  Your session fee in 2014 will be $150 and will include my time shooting (approximately 1-1.5 hours) and planning your session, my time enhancing your photos, and will include your in-home session consultation.  Newborn session fees will be $250 and will include everything above except newborn sessions are approximately 2.5-4 hours as we operate on their schedules and each newborn (as us moms know) can operate on very different schedules. 

Session Collections of prints and digital images are available for purchase during your in-home preview session… I cannot wait to share the joy of viewing your images with you.  I've never had the opportunity to see the look on my clients faces or their reaction as they see their images for the first time.  I cannot wait! 

Thank you to all of my clients in 2013!  See you in 2014!
