Affordability vs. Quality... What’s in it for you?

When someone describes Sialia Photography, I don’t want the first thing they think of to be affordability. I am not saying that I don’t consider myself affordable, I do. I would just much rather receive comments such as, “Jessica is so easy to work with,” “She is so good with my children,” “She is so patient and gentle with my baby” and “Jessica takes the most amazing pictures of my children.” ... “Oh, and by the way she is pretty affordable too.”

I am sure most of us would agree that, in life, you get what you pay for. None of us would expect a Hyundai to perform like a Lexus. The Hyundai is a nice, reliable car that gets you from point A to point B. It, however, is simply not a Lexus. The fine details, the finishing, the refined ride and other luxurious attributes are not there in the same manner they are on the more expensive and refined brand.

As a mom in the modern world, I definitely agree that there is a time and a place for different levels of service and quality. But, when you are capturing milestones in your children’s lives, precious moments that you just can’t get back or beautiful portraits of your family, the quality of the photographer’s work should be one of your main deciding factors when choosing who to trust to capture your family memories.

I am not the cheapest, nor am I the most expensive. I believe, however, that my clients would agree that you get what you pay for with Sialia Photography. I have yet to meet a parent who would not prefer five fantastic portraits of their child that they can afford over an entire book of mediocre, “affordable” pictures.

As we head into the new year and those special moments arise, please remember that cheaper does not always equal better, sometimes cheaper is just that, cheaper. So, if you are looking for amazing and beautiful portraits, please choose Sialia Photography as you won’t be disappointed. I look forward to meeting and working with you.

Fall In the Park {Baby Steps} | Sialia Photography | Manhattan Baby and Family Photographer

Okay, so the last few weeks have been so crazy busy and I didn't get a chance to blog this great family then.  So, no time like the present!  A couple of weeks ago I went into Central Park for a late afternoon family session. Central Park + A Great Family = a great session {and time}!

Glowing | Sialia Photography | Bridgeport, CT Maternity Photographer

I SERIOUSLY love my job! LOVE IT! LOVE IT! LOVE IT! I had such an amazing maternity session this past Saturday. I absolutely LOVE to capture the love between a dad-to-be and mom-to-be! This was such a great session. At 36 weeks she was absolutely glowing!  M and H were so much fun and you could just see the connection between them when they looked at each other. 




Can't wait to see you guys in a few weeks when the little one arrives!  If you have stopped by to check out their session, please leave a comment. I would love to know who you are and what you are thinking.

Big B and Little E | Sialia Photography | New York Baby and Children's Photographer

This weekend I had so much fun getting together with the R family! You may remember them from here. This time we met down at the water at the Larchmont Yacht Club and what a beautiful setting it was.  We also had great weather, it was sunny and just a little bit of autumn in the air! I love fall so much and spending such a beautiful morning with a great family who could ask for better?!








Now that you have had a chance to take a look, go on leave a comment! It only takes a minute and you know you should *grin*! Have a happy Monday!
