Hello again...
My goodness! Two posts in two days! I'm amazed at myself! LOL I hope I can keep up this pace. But I sure won't hold my breath to find out, judging from my past track record.
Anyway, my reason for writing this one is to give you a link to my Facebook Business page. I'd really appreciate it if you would jump over there and like my page if you haven't already. Here's the link:
https://www.facebook.com/#!/JudithKasparPhotography
You'll find some of my recent work there, along with some older images I've done. Please feel free to share a link with your friends if you think they might enjoy my work. And while you're there, leave me a comment to let me know you visited. That means a lot, and its the only way I know you've been there. :)
Thanks a bunch,
Judy

WE GOT A NEW PUPPY!
We went to the Animal Shelter in Apple Valley and found a little guy we just couldn't resist. He's between 4 and 5 months old, and looks to be pure German Shepherd. At least his markings and body shape do. :)
Once we got him home, he followed us everywhere. So his name became Shadow. So without further ado, let me introduce SHADOW
So our home has grown by 4 feet! :)

Now I ask you... who could resist this face???

Letter On My Doorstep
I saw this recently and it really made me stop and think. How fragile are our lives, and how they can be suddenly shortened or ended when we least expect it.
This is an inspiring message for anyone thinking about getting family portraits, or portraits of any kind for that matter. None of us has any guarantees of tomorrow.
Please take the time to read this letter. It may just save something you value greatly and get a great deal of comfort from... your memories!

A letter on my door step. portraits are more than paper.
There will be no portrait photos in this post. This letter wasn’t mailed – it was at my doorstep when I got home a couple months ago. I read it, I cried, and read it again – probably a hundred times by now. It wasn’t easy to read – and honestly, as much as it validates what I do for a living – I wasn’t sure I was going to share it either – Until today, when a past client said that my print prices were too expensive. If you choose to read through the letter, you will know why I’ve finally chosen to share it.

Today I am writing for a couple of reasons. I have some quiet time at the moment and need to get a couple of things off my mind. I will leave this for my husband to deliver to you when he is ready.
You photographed my wedding, you photographed my first pregnancy and my first baby. I contacted you awhile back to photograph my 2nd child and family. After getting prices and realizing I would want all of the pictures as we love your work – I decided against spending $500+ – which is what I normally spend for portraits and prints with you.. Please know it is not because I don’t value your amazing eye, or how much we love the experience.
That week that I decided to NOT do a session with you, this is how I spent some money.
On Sunday I called and cancelled our session. Monday I went out and got my hair cut ($39+tip), and colored ($65), Thursday I had my nails done ($24), my family went out to dinner at a somewhat expensive restaurant for no particular reason costing us $79 + tip. This was just 4 days since canceling our session, already totaling over $200 for un necessary things. My nails only lasted about 2 weeks, my hair is gone, and seven weeks passed when I got the phone call from our doctor. It was not something I expected and the cancer has spread very quickly. I will be leaving my husband, my 6 year old girl and my now 2 year old – not by choice. It is very hard for me to talk about it which is why I need to write you.
I watch your Facebook page and your posts about the value of a photo and if I could give back all of those things that I purchased this few weeks after I cancelled my session with you, knowing what I know now, and have that session, well… I would do it in a heartbeat.
Now my time is done and there are no more chances for me. The next time someone cancels a session – my wish is that you forward this letter to them. Time is fragile, it is gone before you know you had it. If you charged $200 for one print it wouldn’t be enough for what it is actually worth. I cringe to think that my priorities were a manicure over a memory to pass onto my babies and husband.
My love and thanks for what you have given us from past photos. I am so sorry that I did not see it as more than paper until now.
