| My lovely happy front porch.... |
I shoot almost year round-I say almost because let's face it, not much happens in January for anyone, let alone me...and I hibernate...
I primarily do three things really really well-well enough I feel I can say it, although I still pinch myself....I take newborn, senior and am a wedding photographer.
My calendar looks pretty full right now for two reasons:
1) It is
2) I am not sure what my plans are quite yet 6 months from now, because life is happening, I mean literally! I have a senior and a grandbaby on the way. As much as I don't want to miss out on your life-I sure as heck don't want to miss mine!
So please email even if you think I'm full but please keep this in mind-
IF YOU ARE GETTING MARRIED IN THE NEXT 2 YEARS...Weddings slots are few and far between-I have NO WEDDING availability for 2016. Zero. Nada. I have LIMITED for 2017. Those weekends are on my calendar. DON'T WAIT! Small booking deposit=happy bride and happy Pam (I hate saying No). And yes-I have weddings already in 2018....not even kidding!
IF YOU ARE PREGNANT: Book around your due date or within 2 weeks after for the best newborn pictures-Not AFTER BABY IS BORN!! I need those squishy loves about 1-3 weeks old for the best results you have been seeing....if you're baby is already here I may be booked solid and will have to say no which to me is TRAGIC!!! You can't redo those precious moments.....ARGH!!! (Did I mention I HATE saying NO!!??)

IF YOU ARE A SENIOR: (and you have know this for a long time now) BOOK!!! Don't wait until September 1 when you return to school and they hand you the little piece of paper saying we need your yearbook photo-because guess what? EVERYONE GETS THAT!!!! I have about 30 spots in the fall. That's 10 per month, 2.5 a week, you get the idea-and keep in mind those other two items I just covered keep happening (Those cute babies and blushing brides) and the leaves fall and families love pictures-how many days are in a month? If I shoot 2 days a week and am booked already for weddings, you see the math here-(Gulp)
So in a shameless plug to beg and ask start planning ahead-don't wait-because as much as it means to you to have me do your pictures-I'm even more disappointed than you if I can't be that one you choose to do them-especially when you ask me!! I have purposely scheduled certain shoots at certain times of the day and year based on what my subject is....and the weather is never on my side-why? Because I am seeing things I have never seen before and I love playing the light-I love making it slow down and get my subjects real personalities as much as I can....If you don't really care about those things, then I am not the photographer for you...I used to think more was better; I can honestly tell you the longer I do this profession the less I am willing to book in a day, a week or a year....because it's sooo important to keep passionate, keep fresh and really do a top notch job for my subjects...I ave never taken it more seriously...
This is the earliest in a year I have ever seen the fall so full...I hear a continual common "complaint" that I am too busy and booked.....well, I am both-so you can avoid that if you simply book early and know I am simply human. I want the quality of my work to remain and that makes me happy, you happy and my family even happier!
Thank you so very much for even thinking of me-you feed me and make exciting opportunities happen for me and my family-and I see amazing people and create amazing memories for YOU!
PS-Anyone interested in mentoring, second shooting or learning what I do? I'm finally ready to look at YOUR resume and work-email me at pamelamorellophotography@gmail.com or stop in if you see my lime green car at the happiest little place in Kimball-My Studio! The time is now!
