Last year for March we honored women with our Women Empowerment shoot,

This year we would like to acknowledge Disability Awareness Month by offering special pricing to those who would like to honor their (dis)ability, whether it be physical, or developmental.

For the entire month of March, we will be offering discounted sessions to those living with disabilities.

This will be one of only a handful of specials we will be running this year.

For this month's special, we will be offering our old pricing.

Outdoor, or in home shoots for $100

Studio shoots for $150.

$50 will be required as a non-refundable retainer to reserve the time/date.

The remainder will be due at the session.

Finally got my website a little more up to date

Ginger Snaps A Michigan based photographer for all your photography needs

Hello everyone!

I apologize for not announcing winners yesterday as promised.

The Black Friday giveaway did not receive nearly as nominations as anticipated, so with that being said….

Instead of choosing between the two nominations we will be granting both of the nominations a free photoshoot.

There will only be a cost if they are wanting a studio session, solely to cover the cost of the studio as I will be doing the shooting and editing free of charge, and all the best images from the session will be delivered digitally where they will have full rights to print/post as they desire.

I will be reaching out to the winners shortly!

*Update* it’s not letting me message from my business page so I will be reaching out from my personal page!

Only 8 Days left to get nominations in! Comment your nominee on the original post for a chance at a free photoshoot or $50 off gift certificate.

🖤BLACK FRIDAY🖤

Instead- we will be doing a giveaway.

How it works:

Nominate someone. Provide their name, why you think they deserve the shoot, and what type of shoot you would like to nominate them for (bo***ir, family, senior, couple, headshot etc.)

The nomination that I feel is the most genuine and I truly feel could use the gift, will be chosen as the winner. If there are multiple nominations that fit into this a random drawing will take place for the finalists to determine a winner.
IN ADDITION: 5 additional names will be drawn for a $50 off gift certificate to book a photoshoot.

Names for nominations and photoshoot type will need to be posted in the comments, to better keep track, however if you don’t want to disclose the reasons for nomination publicly, you can message me with that information. Just make sure you also include nomination name and photoshoot type in the message.

Criteria:
-Must live within an hour of Greenville MI
-you can nominate yourself, but would also like to see people nominating other people in their life they feel could use this gift.

**If you are nominated and would NOT like to be considered but don’t want to hurt the feelings of the person who nominated you, please send me a private message so I do not include you in the drawing**

Nominations are due by Black Friday, November 24th. Winners will be announced November 27th.

A day late on the spooky vibes, but we got Katrina behind the lens again completely in her spooky element! This was our only spooky shoot this year but it did NOT disappoint.

In all the excitement of the wedding, I realized I never posted Jack.

Jack was my first senior in a couple of years, he had a location in mind and even though it wasn't what either of us expected he went along with my crazy ideas and we got some great shots and had some laughs.

Congratulations on your upcoming graduation Jack!

You guys will get previews as chunks of these photos are being delivered, but when I asked Rae for must have shots, two of the ones she had to have were first looks with the two most important men in her life aside from her groom.

First was her best friend, and man of honor. The one who has been there since day one and never left her side through everything.

The second (she wanted this one second in case they started crying) is the man who raised her into the mud loving princess with a F* around and find out attitude that she is today.

Anyone who has booked with me since I posted the price increase knows I did not stick to it, but starting in 2024 that will be changing.

-PRICE INCREASE COMING-

As many know, I pretty much stepped away from photography for a while when I lost my Grandpa, so instead of raising prices like I originally had planned I kept them very low.

Well I’m back in the swing of things and it’s time to slowly start adding value back to my work.

Starting in January 2024, prices will be increasing.

Basic 30 minute session will be $200, you can add additional time for another $50 but usually we don’t need a full hour. If you’re looking for a studio session, these sessions will be closer to an hour but will be $300 to cover the extra time and the cost of the studio.

Retainer will be $100 down for all sessions, the rest due the day of the shoot. For non studio shoots: Half of the retainer will be non-refundable due to me blocking off that time for you and planning the shoot. For studio shoots: the entire retainer will be non refundable because I will have had to use that money to book the studio. You will not be charged for rescheduling because I understand things happen, but if you cancel the shoot all together I will be keeping the retainer. *no pictures will be delivered until paid in full*

Are my other services going to change? No.
You will still get all the useable images from your sessions, delivered digitally with full rights to print the images.
I will also still give you the option to choose your editing style if you wish by sending 1 image after the shoot edited in several styles for you to choose the vibe you want. Or you can give me creative freedom to edit the pictures how I feel best, that is entirely up to you.

I will still be running discounted model calls and specials for certain things, and will post those so keep an eye out.

Thank you all for your support through this transition and motivation to keep going.

💖 Lynn, the Ginger behind the Lens.

Due to unplanned illness no galleries were touched today, but realized I didn’t get the chance to share the sneak peeks I got sent out last night from Rae and Dante’s big day.

I have to highlight the photo of her signing the marriage license because when I tell you this girl paused and virtually ran through the church to get up there to sign it to officially have one last name after 21 years I about cried with laughter.

While she will always have the Goodwin attitude and Bignell temper, she has officially began her life as a Kramer with her other half 🫶🏻

While the sneak peeks aren't ready yet,

I have to say the biggest congratulations to the new Mr. and Mrs. Kramer.

Raevyn Kae,

You have grown so much since I met you when you were freshly 15, and had to kiss a few frogs before you found your boot wearing prince. I couldn't be happier for the life partner you chose, you made the most beautiful bride and I cannot wait to see how motherhood looks on you

A reminder to all 💖

We haven’t posted about it in a while; so we just wanted to remind everyone that we offer free “Last Sessions” to families who are going to have to say goodbye to their fur babes.

This is something we feel extremely passionate about as we have four fur babes of our own and know how precious and emotional these memories are. We want to give you these final memories to cherish for a lifetime.

These can be done anywhere, and do not require booking through our website, just message me and we can set something up.

Whether you want it to be at the vets office in those final moments, or want to throw one last hurrah and spoil your bean, we would be honored to be along side you to capture those moments.

Here is a picture of my old man Jack for you to enjoy ❤️🐾

I want to get back to creative shoots, so I will have some upcoming model calls, be on the lookout!

Requirements for model calls: $50 non refundable fee to book the spot, that will be the total cost. (Rescheduling is okay, you won’t have to pay the fee again to reschedule)
AND
A consent for the images to be posted to social media.

Ideas coming soon 👀

If we can get our instagram to 500 followers I will set up a day for “pay what you can” mini sessions

These will be 20 minute sessions, with at least 10 edited digital images.

Let’s run that IG up!
