Grin and Share It Photography

Blog

Welcome to Grin & Share It's new blog! My name is Tessa, and I'm a professional photographer in gorgeous San Diego, California.

Grin & Share It was born in January of 2008, thanks to the support of my family & friends who encouraged me to follow my dreams. I am an on location photographer who simply adores what I do. My style is a mix of both posed & candid shots, and I personally touch every single image that is given to my clients.

Please take a look around, and leave some love if the mood strikes. Comments always put a Grin on my face!

Enjoy,
Tessa

Holiday Bridge Minis

09.25.2012

I am doing these minis a little bit differently than my others, as there will only be two minis per day since I prefer the late afternoon sun! I will also be offering one (1) 10 minute mini per day. My 10 minute mini minis are new this year, and are perfect if you’re looking for only a handful of images (you will receive approximately 10 on your CD w/ print release). These special minis are best if you are a returning client who’s kids are used to me, if your kids are older, or if your kiddos follow instructions well and are very comfortable in front of the camera. In ten minutes I can still get a variety of groupings, as well as that all important “Money Shot” for your Holiday cards. The best part… the cost for these special minis is only $150.00 (plus tax).

The 20 minute minis are perfect for photos of couples, just the kids, or small families (up to 6 people) who are interested in grabbing a few fabulous photos for their Holiday cards and gifts. These sessions include a 21 day private online gallery & 20 beautiful high-resolution images on CD w/ print release.

A $50.00 non-refundable deposit is required to book your session, and will be deducted from the balance due the day of your session.

Seaside Sofa Session Minis {Special 10 Minute Minis Being Offered for Next Weekend’s Sessions}

09.17.2012

Only 2 spots are left available for my Seaside Sofa Session Minis next Sunday (see below), September 23rd, and I have decided to open up the the last 2 remaining session times as 20 OR 10 minute minis!!

These special 10 minute minis are great if you only need a handful of images, are a returning client who’s kids are used to me, if your kids are older, or if your kiddos follow instructions well and are very comfortable in front of the camera. In 10 minutes I can still get a variety of groupings/poses, as well as that all important “Money Shot” for your Holiday cards. The best part… the cost for these special minis is only $150.00 (plus tax). For more information or to book your session, please email me at: tessa@grinandshareitphoto.com

September is my favorite month of the year to shoot at the beach! Sunny skies are almost a given (where October & November can bring rain & storm surges). Plus the beaches are so much emptier after Labor Day, when most of the tourists have gone home. Plus the biggest bonus of getting your Holiday photos taken in September… plenty of time to get your Holiday cards designed, purchased, & mailed!!!!

These 20 minute minis are great for photos of couples, just the kids, or small families (up to 5 people). Twenty minutes is plenty of time for me to grab some amazing images of the whole family, the kids individually, as well as the kids together. These sessions include; a 21 day private online gallery, & 20 beautiful high-resolution images on CD w/ print release. Canvases will NOT be included with these minis, but WILL be available for only $75.00 (16×24) if you choose to purchase one post-session (regularly $135.00).

A $50.00 non-refundable deposit is required to book your session, and will be deducted from the balance due the day of your session.
