Mend Maddie’s Heart – Find out How | Pensacola Photographer

During the day, when I’m not busy photographying my kids, I’ve been known to provide childcare for others. The last child that I cared for was a child with congenital heart defects (CDH). She is 32 days younger then my daughter, however if you ever saw me out in public with the two of them you would have thought they were twins! They certainly acted like it with having entire conversations with looks, grunts and their own babble.

This little girl, Maddie became a part of my family in a way I never expected! (I’m happy to say that although I no longer care for Maddie during the day, I still keep in touch with her mama!) In fact,this post is Maddie’s baby sister.

In honor of Maddie, any sessions that are booked for the week of February 7th-14th I will donate 100% of the session fees to a non profit that helps families that are dealing with medical expenses often brought on by the proceedures kiddos like Maddie face. In fact, Maddie’s future holds another proceedure for her – and this is my way of saying to her and to her family that I hope one day they figure out a cure for stuff like this!You can read more about Maddie’s story, and about the non-profit her wonderful grandma’s set up in her honor here atMend Maddies Heart.

Meet Miss J | Pensacola Newborn Photgrapher

I would like you all to meet Miss J. A mere 6 days fresh, she was very alert for how old she is. Hated to be naked but LOVES cuddles. Now that mom has seen these images, I can share them here with everyone!

Miss M | Senior | Lincoln Senior Photographer

While in California over the Holidays I had the opportunity to take advantage of some unseasonably warm temps and photograph my niece for her Senior portraits.

To my niece,

It seems like just yesterday you where a stubborn little girl who refused to wear a dress and be a flower girl in my wedding. Now your graduating from High School. Where did the time go?! I love you, am so very proud of you and can’t wait to see where the journey called life takes you.  ~ Love your Aunt 🙂

Changes for the New Year & A Special | Pensacola Photographer

Next year, 2012, will see some changes for Nicole Leebeck Photography! Revamping of the site is in the works (and should roll out late January/early February)!

The New Year will also see a pricing change too. Pricing is a sticky subject when it comes to photography. The images you see, to me are art. They tell a story and your story is what I aim to tell. There are a plethora of articles out there that detail why custom portraiture pricing is what it is. (if you would like I can send you some links – either comment or email me and I will be happy to share.) That being said, here is the new pricing for next year:

Social Media Shoot:$50 30 minutes (this is for 1 person or one business of 5 or less people)

Children & Families: $75 1-2 Hours (depending on number of children/family memebers)

Seniors: $150 upto 2 hours

Couples / Engagements: $125 up to 2 hours (depending on number of locations – up to 3, includes travel time between locations)

Digital Files: start $15 per image*

Gift Prints (5×7 and larger) start at $10

*with out print purchase

As a consumer, I know how important it is especially right now to get the biggest bang for your buck so to speak. That is what I aim to do – even with the pricing changes.

Thank you to my loyal fans and customers for a great start in 2011 – Here is to a great 2012 with exciting adventures ahead!

As a special thank you to my followers – I would like to offer the current 2011 pricing untill January 15th – when you book a session you will get information on the free gift that will be included after your session 😉

Mr. S | Lincoln Child and Family Photographer

The day after we arrived in California, my mother-in-law had been working with my childhood best friend to surprise me with a visit! Along with my best friend I got to see my nephew too. (My kids call his mom Auntie too… that’s what happens when you’ve known someone over three quarters of your life!)  

my nephew… enjoying the fall 😉

My daughter and Sam had a great time with a leaf throwing fight 🙂 ❤

iHeartfaces: Black | Pensacola Photographer

The challenge on iheartfaces.com this week is “Black”. While culling images from a recent personal project, I came across this image. I wanted to share it, by itself and this challenge provided the perfect opportunity!

Personal Projects | Pensacola Photographer

I’ve had a project I have wanted to work on for a while, I thought I knew what I wanted about the who was going to help me. But then one night, while chatting with a friend on Facebook that the idea of what I was looking for to help me with this project was wrong. This friend was PERFECT, in her own way – for her own reasons, for this project. Here is a small peek into what we did (and for someone who thought she “had no clue what she was doing” I think it all went off much better then I anticipated!!)

The image in the bottom left opening made me smile so big when I saw it straight out of the camera. It showed me just how much fun and how perfect she was for this project!

Thanks for the wonderful afternoon A!
