Changes as of April 1st

As we all know photosbyash is one of the greatest prices in the wasatch front! But I think just a little bit more wouldn't hurt. I'm using all the money that I make working under Photosbyash and putting it back into my company for (camera saving, liting, website, ads etc) and right now as the prices that I do have is just barely covering my gas. I will still run specials, I will still give exisitng customer discounts and I will give a small discount for customers that were refered as well as the referie a bonus as well.

Individual Shoots: This genre can count as, senior portriats, pictures for your men or women, model shots (one shoot), just for fun, kid portraits. All it is is ONE person!
My current price for an individual shoot is $25. As of the first of April it will go to $35.

Couple Sessions: This genre counts as any two people. Mom/daughter, dad/son, romantic couples, engagements, best friends, etc.

How you book!
Here soon you will be able to go to my website -- http://www.photosbyashbybee.com/ - It will be up within the next week!  On there will be a calendar with availability on dates and times, also under the calendar there will be a contact box for you to send me an email of the requested date and time. --- but again! that is not up yet so until then!
...Emails on facebook. (Photosbyash Bybee) Just send me a subjected email stating what session you would like to do and ideas of times and dates!
...Currently I am working 9-5 Mon, Tues, Thurs, Friday, and 9-6 Saturdays. Though I am off on Wednesdays and Sundays. But with the recent daylight savings times I can do ONE session after work as long as it starts at 5:30pm


Why I require a deposits on weddings - I need to make sure that I have the time off for the wedding date. I work a regular daytime job, but I have it worked out to where I can miss the time at work, but I am NOT going to take the day off and then have a cancellation.


Cancellations -- I put 2 and a half hours away for shoots that are scheduled. Therefore thats time of mine that I could be doing, more hours at work, cleaning, laundry, errands, etc. If you plan to cancel I need at least 48 hour notice. I dont want to be waiting at the scene of the shoot for you not to show up.

The ones who started it all!

My best friend, Janae and her husband Cody, asked me to do their christmas card photos in december 2009. It was the first photo shoot I had done and Janae and I were talking about it this morning, and personally it was my least favorite of them all.




As time went on, I did a few more photoshoots and it was time for the engagments!





After our engagement session I was up at McKay Dee with my (soon to be EX) husband. A good day gone bad.. Oh well. I was planning on doing the rest of Janae's wedding photos, but that lovely (soon to be EX) husband wouldn't let me take the car to St. George for the weekend. So not only did I miss my best friends wedding, Miss the first wedding I would have ever shot, but I also lost a moment that every best friend should see!

That was one of the last times that I seen Janae for a while, (soon to be EX) husband didn't approve.... So when we broke up we began talking again :D Right after that Janae and Cody moved to St George. But the lucky thing is, they were down for Christmas in 2010 :D






Janae and Cody have been great friends for years! They are the ones who got me started, and they are the ones who I'll owe everything to! Because without them, Photosbyash Would never have Started!
Love you guys!
Ash

Bad News of Photosbyash

Last night I recieved a call from a previous/future customer.. Her fiance knows my ex husbands girlfriend and what was being said is that HE used to be the owner of Photosbyash --- haha! 1. Photosbyash is NOT nor would ever be photosbyjake.... 2. he did two photoshoots, 1 with me being there, and 2 when i was at work. The photos that this customer wanted was a nude session and the way he tells the story is that the girls went to him, he turned it down due to "being married" and had me do it. In reality they came to me when I was looking to do artistic nudes to add to my portfolio. I want everyone to be aware that he is lying. if theres any questions or concerns due to my name of Photosbyash please come to me with it. my email is - ashleebybee@hotmail.com. I have worked hard under my Photosbyash for anyone to fake it as me or to think it is theirs.
So if you have heard anything from this please let me know!
Thank you
Ashlee.
