Copyrights & Watermarks

I hate to harp on
copyrights and watermarks but
it seems to be a growing issue.

It is never okay to crop out
anyone's logo or watermark.

The copyright remains with the photographer
unless you purchase the rights. In that case you will receive written
permission to reproduce the images.

Think of it like this
Would you purchase a name brand shirt
then cut out their logo or brand name on the shirt?
I highly doubt it.

It's the same with photography.

Just because you are in the image
does not mean you own the rights to the image.

I appreciate your understanding and support.

Attention Seniors!

Are you graduating in 2012?
Or do you know someone who is?

That's right it's that time of year again!
Don't get caught with the same ol' drab school photos this year.

Many schools require yearbook photos
to be submitted at the beginning of the school year.

Book your session by August 15th
to receive some pretty awesome specials!

I am also currently
looking for some senior reps for the area
Juniors may apply too!

If selected you can qualify for
 free prints, free sessions, great discounts and much more!

Contact me while the weather is perfect
and you have the time to plan and select the perfect image!

For more information on becoming a rep
shoot an email to:

Highlights from Parker's Session

All I can say is
we worked HARD for these photos!

Not only was the heat almost unbearable
during our session but,
Parker was not a fan of my camera!
It took him some time to warm up.

However,
I think we worked through that and captured
some great shots.

Happy 4th Birthday, Parker!

I hope you enjoy the photos.

Referrals & Rewards

I always want my clients to understand how much their business means to me.
I also want to express that your referrals are key in helping us become a success.

After doing some research and thinking
I have finally decided on my referral and rewards program!

After your session
you will receive 25 custom designed referral cards
to share with your friends.

Each time you refer a new client to
Jessica Sherman Photography
that books a session,
we would like to say thank you!

And the best part about this program...
There are rewards for both you and your friends!

What's in it for you?
When one of your friends books a session
and brings us your custom referral card,
you'll receive a $10.00 credit.
This credit can be used toward a session, print products or custom photo editing.

What will your friends receive?
When your friends bring their referral card in,
and book a session they will receive
two FREE 5x7 prints
one FREE 8x10
plus
2 accordion mini albums!

All of this is our way to say thank you!

We appreciate your support


Highlights from Teagan's Session

I pride myself on making my sessions fun but relaxed.
I also love to hear my clients ideas for the session to help make my sessions more comfortable and to capture all of their personality and style.

Teagan brought so much personality to the photos!
Together I believe we created some beautiful images.

I truly enjoyed working with this family and Teagan was such a sweet little boy!
