Welcome Get Shot By Tate!
Since you MUST know about me...... I'll talk about what kind of photographer I am. I'm the kid who hated traditional crap. I hated the concept of doing wedding photography. I wanted to do high fashion and naked people - and that WAS IT. Fast Forward to ten + years later....... I'm doing weddings, naked people (but it's always tasteful..... or at least I think it is) and I do SOME traditional stuff. I like to think my traditional stuff is twisted. Ok, it's not traditional. Call it what you want to call it, but I don't like the WORD - traditional. My wife does. She's twisted traditional. My work is my work. I don't like rules. It's hard for me to play by the rules when I'm doing photography. I think that's what keeps it so fun for me. I tell the parents of my senior shoots that I dislike cap and gown shots (was I supposed to do that?) but I still do them because I know they love those. ;-) I think you get the drift of what kind of photographer I am. I may think I'm way more radical than I am, but let me think I'm just ubercool and not traditional. Okay?

TIME TO LOOK INTO THE FUTURE.....

Ok, it's time. No more Mr. Nice Guy for you all. Haha :D No, not really! As much as I'd love to keep my prices remain the same ~ it was just time for me to amp it up for me and increase my prices to help my business grow into an even better one. The costs of equipment keep rising. The demand for my art has risen so much in the last year, and I am so grateful for that. 

So many people claim, "That's all?" after I state my rates - and I always took pride in that because I could offer such great work at a low price. My increase in prices are still very reasonable and great for what I can offer you, the customer. I have decided to go up from $100 to $150 (still at up to three people), and push down the 36 shots to 24 shots in order to focus on the "best of the best" shots. As many of my clients who keep returning to me, can see - I'm drowning in edits and not very happy with my turnaround pace. This change will help me do quicker edits and a faster turnaround pace for those who are always needing photos for certain things (holiday photos, baby announcements, and so forth) within a certain time frame. 

Senior sessions are now $400 for 50 shots and you/or your teenager can do four outfits (not including the cap/gown if you want to do those). Most sessions take up to two hours, and I look forward to doing them! I have already booked three local seniors and am excited about pushing the envelope and creating amazing shots for them/you (the parents) to have for your memories. You still get a CD with high resolution files in both color and black/white.

Bridals are now $350 for 50 shots and you get those portraits edited in both color and black/white. CD with high resolution files given to client.

Engagement sessions are the same price as a "local session" at $150 for 24 shots. CD is given to you with high resolution files in both color and black/white. 

Local Sessions are now starting at $150 for up to three people. Any additional person is an extra $15.  24 shots will be edited in both color and black/white. You get a CD with the high resolution files. This pertains to the Ascension parish / East Baton Rouge Parish areas.

Out of City / State sessions are now at $200 for up to three people. Any additional person is an extra $15.  24 shots will be edited in both color and black/white. You get a CD with the high resolution files. This pertains to the people outside of the Ascension parish / East Baton Rouge Parish areas.

As of now my wedding rate remains the same - $2,200. In the near future, I will be creating different packages (but the $2,200 is still the beginning price) so I can cater to different requests I've been getting. For more details for my current wedding package, please email me.

I am looking forward to the holiday season coming up and all the amazing shoots I'm about to do. I am booking up pretty quick so please do contact me to pencil in your appointment. I look forward to creating some amazing art for you to put into your home and your life.

Thank you again for everything. I certainly aim to please you more than anything else. I continue to think of ideas. I continue to think outside of the box. I want to create interesting and magnificent photos for you.

Hey y'all - It's been one busy summer! I'm hoping that this fall I'll blog a ton more & and not just post wedding after wedding. 

I scanned some stuff that clients sent me to show me what they did with photos that I shot for them..... I LOVE seeing results of photo sessions regardless if it's for an event, or for your own personal home decor. It pumps my blood up.....

Here's a thank you card that Amanda & Darren's friend whipped together along with the photos I shot on their wedding day in NY this past April. I love how it came out!

Hey y'all -

I think this is the longest I've gone without updating my schedule! Everyone's been asking for possible dates? "Are you available?" I've just accepted the fact I can't keep up with my schedule in my little head any longer. That's a good thing.... and a bad thing... but I'll say more good than bad. :)

Hope you all have been doing great! This summer has been insane (how many times have I said that already?) and that you've been really taking advantage of this hot weather. I've been doing all my shoots locally at 8am or late, late, late afternoon - SO HOT. I'll take my air conditioner on a tray 24/7. 

Anyway, I better shut up and get back to editing Ally & Nat's wedding and post this updated schedule! Things are already booking up for 2011 so PLEASE send in your inquiries if you're interested in using my services for your wedding day. 

Thank you again for your support and I'm still alive, thankyouverymuch.

It's finally here! Capital Area United Way got in touch with me last December asking me if I'd be interested in taking part of a new project for their website revamp - sure enough, it all worked out and I have been doing several sessions for them throughout the year for their "More than a 1,000 words : A Photo Documentary" stories. The first one has gone up for Jay O'Brien who I followed around and photographed. There is an interview that is playing over the slideshow with the photos I took. I wish it were captioned, maybe that's something I should request!

Here's the link to the website.
