Anticipation!

This super sweet couple is eagerly awaiting the arrival of their first baby and I'm just soooooo excited for them!
Photobucket

Okay, that's a lie. This would be their first baby:) I always seem to leave the family pets out of photos for some reason, but I couldn't resist this little guy. I definitely hold a special place in my heart for wieners... besides, who could pass up the chance to add a wiener to any sentance. (hee hee!) This little pooch has no idea what he is in for!

WHEEEEEEE!

Just a few more shots from my session with little "S" and her family last weekend. She is just the most beautiful girl ever! If arranged marriages were acceptable in our society, I would definitely try to arrange something between her and my son:) I think he would be in favor of this as well. As I was editing this session, my kids who know the back of my head all to well were getting into all kinds of shenanigan's, but my son who could usually care less what I am doing started going ballistic insisting that I give him a closer look at what I was doing. His eyes lit up and he got the most devious smile on his little face. I am just sure it was love at first sight. Anyway, we had tons of fun and I'm pretty sure she will put a smile on your face as well.

Fresh out of the "Oven"

Check out this little guy! at only 8 days old he is one of my youngest clients, and I loved every second with him and his new family. As for him, he was loving this blanket that his late great grandmother made for him and I'm sure he will cherish it for many years to come. Such a precious gift, as he is too!

Say WHAT?!? Holidays... Already?

Okay... So what if it's still a million degrees outside. Christmas will still be here in 15 short weeks. And that means that I'm about to be a super busy girl, so I have planned on some super fun holiday mini sessions to get all your family portraits done for the holidays.

Photobucket

More details:
* The purpose of these sessions is to focus on getting amazing images for your 2008 Holiday cards - Whoo Hoo! You can choose whether you want the focus to be on just the kiddos or the whole family, and that is what my camera and I will stick to. Of course if time allows it , I will do both the family and some individuals.
* Sessions are based on families of 4, there will be a $20 charge for each additional family member
* Web galleries will be posted 2 weeks after your session date
* your $50 print credit is only good for gift prints, you may not use this toward an upgrade or additional cards
* All orders must be placed by November 16th to ensure holiday delivery
* Full payment is due at the time of booking to reserve your spot. Once your spot is requested, you will be sent a link to pay via pay pal and when your payment is confirmed, viola! your mini session is booked.


Mini Session Extras:
* Additional holiday cards. All cards include envelopes also.
-pack of 24 flat front/back holiday cards - $50
-pack of 24 premium 5x7 folded holiday cards - $75
*Individual image files

*Disc of your entire web gallery - $100 WOW!

What if I already took your photos this year and you want to use them for your holiday cards you say? You lucky ducks are going to receive a smoking hot deal. Purchase your cards from me and get each pack of 24 cards for $40 - Yipee, that's $10 off! Or go for gusto and purchase the premium folded cards for $60 per pack of 24, Yee ha, that's $15 off.

What if the whether is bad on the day of our session you say? No sweat, I have planned a snow day... alright fine, a rain day. If we need to reschedule a date, it will be on Sunday, October 26th.

What if I don't want a mini session, I want to do a full session. Spots are limited and filling up fast, so please feel free to visit my website HERE and inquire about pricing for full sessions under the "prices" section.  Also, feel free to call or email to check availability.  I currently have 2 spots open in October and 1 left for November, YIKES!

I will be posting a few examples of my holiday card choices VERY soon, so don't be a stranger.  I got a little carried away this year so come on back and check em out!

I am looking forward to this season and meeting all of your lovely families very soon!  Ta Ta for now.

Birthday Girl

This little sweetie pie is getting ready to celebrate her first birthday. This shot just cracks me up, so I had to include it in this post:) Already at the tender age if 1, she feels like the rest of the world when it comes to family picture time! I can't blame her though, I must look like a crazy woman jumping around like who knows what. Of course my focus is to capture those moments that make your heart melt. But all too often we forget about those moments that make you laugh out loud. This was one of those moments for me, thanks "K"
So while you parents might think that this is all we are getting out of a session, scroll down to see what's actually going on during the session that I'M seeing unfold.

Okay, that being said.... how stinkin' cute is she?

I am currently IN LOVE with color photos, but it is undeniable what black and white can do to an image. Sometimes I just can't decide.
