Kim and I have been teasing many of you via our blogs and twitter recently about our new endeavor and we’re so excited to finally let the cat out of the bag!
Welcome to Fresh Art Photography, where Kim Weiss and Jodie Allen (me!) will be joining forces to bring fine art newborn and birth photography to St. Louis!
We’re beyond excited about this journey and can’t wait to show you everything we have up our sleeves! Things like NEW products, FUN offers and DOUBLE the talent at each session!
That is hands down the best part of this collaboration, bringing two completely different artists together for each session. My style and Kim’s style are, at times, at different ends of the spectrum, but together we are able to offer our clients the complete package if you will. The full spectrum. Two different points of view photographing one little baby! So great!
And so fun! Kim and I met through an organization we both volunteer for, Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep, and from there we became good friends. Our friendship grew out of our total respect for the other’s work and our ability to truly appreciate the other’s unique style and take on this craft. When we shoot together we have the best time and are able to give the most comprehensive work to our client that they will ever receive.
Let me stop talking to you so you can cruise around the new blogsite! Take a look at our galleries, read about what we offer in our “the investment” page and get to know us better by clicking on our individual websites to read our other blogs! Poke around! Look! Enjoy!
But before you start moving around in here let me mention some MAJOR specials we are offering on our launch day!
1. If you are pregnant and your DUE DATE is in July 2009 you are able to get your session fee FREE! Seriously! FREE! That’s a HUGE savings! Spread the word to all of your just-about-to-pop friends out there b/c you can’t get better than FREE!
2. If you BOOK A SESSION in July for anytime you get 75% off your session fee! Meaning, if you aren’t due until January, no worries! Just book NOW to get the savings!
3. If you BOOK A SESSION in August for anytime you get 50% off your session fee!
4. If you BOOK A SESSION in September for anytime you get 25% off your session fee… and this is our LAST massive discount so BOOK EARLY to SAVE MORE!
We’d love to hear what you think! Leave a comment and tell us you love the idea or think we’re crazy! HA! Either way it’ll be nice to get your feedback! I’m sure a lot of you think we’re crazy since we have so many young children between us (we have three under four and Kim has SEVEN kids ranging from 2-14!) but we couldn’t be more excited!
I will say, briefly, that this does mean that both Kim Weiss Photography and Jodified Photography+Design Inc. will no longer be offering maternity or newborn or birth sessions. If you are a current client for either company, no fear, we have specials JUST FOR YOU we can tell you about, but you do have to book through Fresh Art from here on out if you are WITH CHILD! And although it’s a pretty big change, it’s a GREAT change so we hope you all are on board!
Enjoy your day and please spread the word about Fresh Art!
This is awesome! Good luck ladies.
Great idea! Too bad I’m not pregnant already…I’ll shoot for September! (I’m only sort of kidding.) I have already forwarded this on to a few friends and I will continue to do so! Best wishes.
Whoa! Congrats Kim and Jodie! I just got blown away with this news and am in such anticipation to see what you have to come! Best of luck girls…keeping up with your clients that is, because you rock!!!!
Congratulations, guys! The site looks amazing!
Cograts to the both of you! How exciting! You are both great artist and I am sure you will compliment each other well. Best wishes.
Jodie, you are an amazing photographer so I know this will be a big success. Congratulations and good luck!
Great site Ladies! Congratulations! Everything looks beautiful!
Jodie and Kim, your work is beautiful! Best of luck in the new venture!
Whohoo! What a great idea! Love your site and your work and I wish you two the best as you start up this new venture!
Congratulations on this fantastic joint venture! Can’t wait to see the sneak peeks!!! From my limited experience photographing newborns, I definitely realize what a HUGE task it is & I’m certain a 2-person team is ideal for newborn sessions! Best wishes, ladies!
Jodie! (and Kim) How exciting! How impossible would a shoot, in Chicago, in January be? I hear the weather is just fantastic then. Please let me know as I’m not so sure about traveling that soon. This is all a new experience for me!
Congratulations!!! I can’t wait to see how much success is about to be dumped on your heads!!
Congrats! I can’t wait to poke around here and see some of your amazing work. The future is looking bright for you two!
So now I’ve had a few moments to poke around. The photos are AMAZING! The website design is AMAZING! And I love the songs you chose for the galleries. It’s so cool, y’all!
Kim! Wow! I’m beyond excited for you. This is an incredible opportunity. Lacey and I have talked about doing this- in our dreams. Not sure we’ll ever occupy the same state but hey, we can dream right? Newborn sessions would be doubly fun with an extra set of hands and a fresh eye. Good luck! I’ll be watching…
