A few weeks ago, Trevin was dying to go sledding! He talked about going sledding daily. And since we haven’t gotten a lot of snow lately, to his surprise one morning, he woke up to snow on the ground! He was so excited! Easton noticed Trevin getting dressed in his snow gear and anxiously attempted to put on his snow boots by himself. We packed into the car like snowballs and off we went to find a place to go sledding….jpg)

I have had numerous e-mails about the photographs I captured at my Grandma Hitchcock’s funeral. While this post is very personal to me and my family, I hope you will still enjoy seeing these images. Since some relatives do not live close enough to view these from my own personal computer, I feel this blog is an easy route for everyone to see them. If you are an immediate family member, I will provide a copy of all the images from the funeral to each family. I still have not uploaded or edited the images from Grandma’s viewing. As soon as I have time, I will finish those, and get the CD’s distributed.
Warning: Some of these images are very emotional. If you wish to have me remove any of them, please don’t hesitate to ask.
Until we meet again….

Yay Alisha!!!! Go get those family photos updated!
Yay for all the winners! So excited for each one of them!
Yay! I am so excited! It was a very fun contest!
Hey Nat thanks for the giveaway, I’d like to claim my gift certificate
Please remember to go check out all the AMAZING vendors HERE! This giveaway wouldn’t be possible without them! If you haven’t checked out their Websites/Facebook Pages, please do so. Make sure you “like” them on Facebook if applicable.
Today, I am doing something a little different and I need your help!
I am in the process of updating my website, my packages, and pricing. I want to hear your opinion, your suggestions, and your advice.
All you have to do is Click the CONTACT link at the top or e-mail me @ natalie_park5@hotmail.com and answer five questions honestly. Please keep in mind this is for your benefit!
Question #1: If you could have ANYTHING included in your session (prints, disk, album, frame, etc.) what would it be and why? Would you be interested in printed proofs as well? Please understand by including proofs or the disk, the session fee would increase….
Question #2: Instead of having me pick the images to be edited, would you prefer to look at your UNEDITED images in an online gallery and pick the images yourself?
Question #3: If you have seen my work and have wanted to book a session from me, what was your reasoning for choosing another photographer? OR if you have had a session from NPP before, were you pleased (be honest) or was there something you wished I had done differently? I would really appreciate you telling me something I can do differently or improve on.
Question #4: When looking for a photographer, what’s the first thing you look for? Do you check out the photographer’s Blog, Facebook Profile, Website, Pricing, artistic ability, creativity, etc? Is there something you have looked for, but haven’t been able to find off my Blog or Website?
Question #5: What is your ideal price for a session? Does this include the disk? After seeing my work, what are you willing to pay a professional photographer? What is included in YOUR ideal session fee, packages, etc? Please be detailed.
If there is something else you would like to mention, please do! I love suggestions!
After answering these Five Questions, I will add an additional 10 Tickets to your name.
Again, please understand I am looking for your complete honesty. These questions will only help me improve my business, which then makes for happier clients!
AND, As always, post any one of the contest days on your Facebook, and I will include an additional 3 Tickets.
Good Luck Everyone! You have until Midnight tonight to enter the contest! Remember there are TWO BONUS Giveaways from Natalie Park Photography.
You can see those BONUS GIVEAWAYS HERE and HERE!

Today, we are doing something FUN with an additional BONUS Giveaway!
Head on over to my FACEBOOK PAGE. Make sure you are on the Natalie Park Photography Wall. At the top you will see Share: and then “Photo.” Click Photo and upload any photo of your choice! You can be creative if you would like (and represent NPP somehow) or you can choose to upload a cute picture of your family, kids, etc.
After uploading your photo, you can say something like,”Please LIKE my photo so I can win BIG from Natalie Park Photography!”
Get as many people as you can to LIKE your photo and you will win a Gift Card worth $100.00 from Natalie Park Photography!
I am asking for UTAH people only because of the BONUS gift card from NPP.
Each person who enters today’s contest will get an additional 10 Tickets for the Grand Prize Giveaway! The person who WINS this contest will also get an additional 10 tickets on top of that!
This contest will ALSO end tomorrow at midnight!
