Capturing The Labor

I have added something new to my business, Capturing The Labor. Capturing the Labor will include a pregnancy session, the labor and delivery, a session within the first 3 days of the birth of your child and a disk of photos from all 3 sessions. Normally this will cost $650, but for my first 3 clients that book this package I am offering this great package at $300. Please contact me at smnphotography@aol.com if you are interested. You can go to my website www.smnphoto.com and go to the info section to learn more about Capturing The Labor.

Many thanks to Anna Dalikas for photographing my daughter's delivery, pictures edited by Sharon Neves Photography
