At the start of every year, I make an effort to update my website and make changes to pricing, packages, and other facets of my business based on needs and trends from the prior year. 2025 was hectic economically, with a lot of rising costs and a rapidly changing internet environment; I've done my best to mitigate pricing increases this year, and have made a few changes that I hope will make the client experience smoother and more straightforward.

Kirstin Bimson Photography will be on vacation starting Sunday, December 21st through Saturday, December 27th. ​During this time existing client correspondence will continue to be answered promptly and photos will continue to be finalized and sent out; however, new inquiries will be addressed after the holidays, beginning on December 28th. Online bookings will continue to be available throughout the Holiday season.

There has been an update to available Kirstin Bimson Photography shoot locations for 2025, effective June 1st, 2025. Some locations have been removed, and new locations have been added. This is due to a number of factors including: client feedback, and changes to accessibility, aesthetics, and available amenities. If you have already booked a shoot at a location that has been removed, your package will remain unchanged and no additional fees will be charged.

If you have any questions or concerns please don't hesitate to  contact Kirstin Bimson Photo directly! 

As we near the end of the year, I am beginning my 2025 website and pricing updates. You may see a few minor changes around the website, some photo updates, and some backdated photo shoot posts here on the blog I forgot to post earlier in the year. No major changes this year, though!

Currently updated and active on the website are the changes to photo shoot booking pages and pricing pages. No big changes: I removed the session-only option for Discount Sunday Sessions. The full-gallery package has by far been the most popular, dwarfing session-only bookings, so I opted to simplify things and offer only the full-gallery package for Discount Sundays going forward.

I've also altered the budget option for Basic sessions. Instead of being a session-only package, the budget package now includes a small set number of photos, with a very nominal $5 price increase; overall, an increase in value and a decrease in total price. Basic session full-gallery packages remain the same.

I've also added new shoot locations in Winters, and removed one Sacramento location - the Old Sacramento Waterfront, as it has proved to be an unpopular (and far too bustling) location this year.

Next on the docket is updating wedding photography pricing for 2025. I try and do this once a year or every two years, adjusting packages and pricing based on industry trends and client demand and budget. The overall pricing range will remain about the same, though I will be consolidating and streamlining packages to make the options more straightforward for prospective clients and better cater to the specific requests I've received this year. Hopefully I'll have those changes finalized and in-place by the end of December.

If you have any questions about pricing or package changes, please feel free to reach out!

Last month I put out a notice on the front page that I would be doing updates and maintenance to the Kirstin Bimson Photography website through the end of May. Well, it looks like that maintenance will be extending through July! The current estimated date of completion is July 29th.

There should be minimal disruption to regular browsing and use of the website. Most of the changes and updates will be focused on structure and mobile optimization, as well as integration with my new client gallery hosting provider. However, if you do run into any issues, please let me know!

Thank you for your patience and understanding!
