Christmas Mini-1

This year we weren't going to do our usual Holiday mini sessions as we were just too busy. Due to some newborns coming early and session reschedules, we found ourselves with a couple of weekends open we could fit in a few Holiday Mini Sessions that some of you may be interested in!

Sessions will be held November 9th and 10th as well as the 17th and 18th. Please email us at info@ashleighwellsphotography.com to reserve your space.

Here are the details!

The holiday season is coming up faster than we think! Holiday Mini Sessions are a great way to get those family greeting cards ready and out the door in time for the holidays! We have stocked the studio with Holiday Props and are all ready to capture some beautiful images for your cards! These sessions are open to families with babies or children 3 months of age and up.

BIG NEWS! Reinforcements are on the way!

Wells Family-4

Running a photography business as a "one woman show" is a daunting task. Especially with such wonderful clients and supporters who have helped to make Ashleigh Wells Photography such a success for us! This year has been the busiest one yet and it has just become too much for one person to handle alone while providing the level of service we want to and that you are all used to. So...Bryan Wells (yes, my better half if you notice the shared last name) is officially joining the business full time starting next week! He will be helping with ordering and emailing for some sessions to start out and will slowly be taking on more responsibilities behind the scenes in helping everyone to get their beautiful family images printed and from our studio to your home as well as getting you all scheduled in for your appointments and prepared for your sessions. If you notice emails signed from him, now you'll know why.

New Pricing and Collections

AW Photo FULL BR

If you didn't notice at the top of this newsletter, there are some other changes happening at Ashleigh Wells Photography. We have a brand new, shiny logo! We have also been working on redesigning the blog and site to match this. Please note there are a few items we are still waiting on printing for with the new logo so there may be some items when you get your order that still have the old logo until we have it all updated (we're almost done with the full change over though so it will all be consistent soon!).

We have also recently changed our pricing based on feedback from our most valuable source (YOU GUYS!). The details are now up on the website. Click HERE to visit the site Click "Enter Site" and then review the categories in the drop down menu under the "Prices" tab for more information.

We have also learned a little more about ourselves and our business this year (as we always hope to) and as a result wanted to clarify a few of our policies and the reason for them.

The main policy we struggled with this year, was the 7 day ordering policy. Once your images are fully edited, there is a gallery that goes up for 7 days for families to choose from. In the contract it states there is a $50 rehost fee for orders not placed in this time frame.

In all honesty it has been hard for us to charge this as we understand how busy things can get (especially with little ones running around). However, by not sticking to that and keeping up with checking in on our end, we have run into numerous occasions where we get more orders coming in at one time than planned for. This can lead to confusion on both ends as to when orders will be ready and in the placement of orders as well as our own mental health haha! Therefore, this year, there will be the $50 rehost fee for orders not placed in the 7 day time frame unless prior arrangements have been made and when orders do have to come in outside that time frame please understand that it may take us more than the allotted 2 weeks to get your order out (up to 5 weeks) as we MUST attend to the orders of those families who got them in on time first.

The rest of our policies are outlined in the online contract that goes out to all families who book a session with us. Please ensure that you read that contract in its entirety before your session so there are no surprises.

Thank you all so much for you understanding in this matter and we can't wait to see what this year will bring for Ashleigh Wells Photography!
