Sieversma Photography will be at the Alcester, SD Craft Fair on November 6 from 10a.m. until 3p.m. Sessions are by appointment only. Book now to secure your time slot for a 30 minute family photo session. The organizers at the event have provided a private room to serve as a portrait studio.

This special opportunity is available for $30. I will, for example, photograph your family as a group, your children as a group and we will pose individual photos of each child. Additional poses will be added as time allows. Grandparents are welcome. Children only groupings or couples sessions are welcome too! Holiday props are available. Melissa will edit the photos and provide a 4x6 print of each pose. You will receive those images with your session fee. Additional reprints and/or a CD with the high resolution images will also be available for purchase.

New Website!!

I've created a new website: www.sieversmaphotography.com

I will reserve the blog space as a place to discuss photo ideas and upcoming events or specials. If you'd like to learn more details regarding price, product and available service - that will be at the website. I will post links on the blog to particular pages to ease the search.

I'm very excited to be able to present this resource!!

Thanks for checking out Sieversma Photography!!!

Straatmeyer Cousins Reunion

Photos from the July 10, 2010 Straatmeyer Cousins Reunion can be found HERE.

I have included double options for the family photos. If you would like an 8x10, please order from the 8x10 image. It's already been cropped so that the image will work in that format.

Wakonda 125th Bike Carnival

I had fun today at the bike carnival in Wakonda!! I hope that you did too. I do have photos available for sale and all of the images have been posted to my online gallery.

I'm not going to mark the photos up too much, but you should know that proceeds will benefit the National MS Society.

First guy and first girl to respond and book Sieversma Photography will get their photo session for free. I will give you a proof book with the poses photographed and you may purchase additional reprints and enlargements.

Gone Fishing

Sometimes the best 'portraits' are candid images capturing moments shared between people. My husband and I visited his aunt and uncle this weekend at their private pond. We got a chance to go fishing and tell some lies. I hope that you enjoy these photos.

Zenfolio

I've chosen Zenfolio.com as an online tool for proofing images and enabling customer orders. Your album will be password protected. I also have a variety of scenic and creative images available for sale in my online portfolio.

Please visit me here.

Confirmation

I was invited to work with Candy Acosta Photography at a confirmation in South Sioux City last month. I can be hired for special events including confirmations, baptisms, and church or school programs.

Joe and Sarah

Joe and Sarah have been married for awhile and decided that it was time to have a portrait session again.

Winter is a difficult season to schedule time for photography. Snow is a beautiful addition to the scenery, but the temperature is quite low and the weather is unpredictable.

Last week The American Heart Association held its campaign to promote heart health among women. Friday, February 5, was Go Red For Women Day. Even the falls at Falls Park were illuminated red in the events honor. *PSA side note* Everyone should take care of their ticker. Your loved ones will thank you for it!

Falls Park is always a beautiful setting, but I thought it'd be fun to try to utilize the special coloration for Joe and Sarah's photos. We did experience some snowfall throughout the day, and it chilly. However, it wasn't as cold as it could have been. There is minimal access to the viewpoints around the park, but we found a few locations where we could take advantage of the special scenery. My husband was able to spot me so that I didn't fall into the river. :-) I didn't actually get that close.

Red light is no longer bathing the falls, but you should be sure to visit the park anyway. Bring a blanket and some hot cocoa.

Free Engagement Session this month!

(This couple is not engaged, but are quite happy together. :D )

For the month of February, I'm honoring the following special:

Make a deposit on a wedding with Sieversma Photography and have a free engagement session! This includes up to a one hour session in the location of your choice. I will travel to Sioux Falls, Sioux City and the area between for no extra charge. Please discuss with me where you would like your session to be, mileage may be a factor to consider.

I offer two wedding packages, see my side panel for the difference between package 1 and 2.

If you book Wedding Package 1 for $850, the engagement session is free, I will include a 4x6 print of each pose and you may buy additional prints at a discounted rate.

Print prices: 4x6 for $6, 5x7 for $8, 8x10(12) for $15, Wallets 8 for $7.

If you book Wedding Package 2 for $1150, you get the same deal as the first package PLUS an 8x12 of your choice and one high resolution file (one image) on a disc for you to print as you wish.

For both options I will provide a digital frame available for you to show your engagement pictures at your wedding, perhaps on the guest book table or location of your choice.

With your photos there is an option to design a 'Save the Date' card and wedding invitation.
