Time to start thinking Holiday!!

I know, it seems awful early to think about holiday portrait sessions and cards, but I am going to be posting my specials in the next week so I can get it on the calendar.

I am going to have some fabulous new card designs this year - both flat cards and folding cards on press printed paper. They come in a gloss, linen or pearl finish. Pricing will be available soon on my website. Regular photograph paper cards are still going to be available as well.

If you're doing an outdoor session with me next month, consider using one (or several) of those images for your holiday cards. They will be absolutely stunning on the press printed paper, and will definitely stand out! The colors of my new card designs have some earthy tones, so they'll look great with outdoor portraits on them. I'll post some examples of some images when I post the special pricing.

If you want to come in for a holiday session, I'll be booking those in the first 2 weeks of November. I'll have several different set ups available. One that I'm really excited about has a classic, victorian feel to it.

Some of the stores already have their holiday clothing outfits, and they are picture perfect! Check out Gymboree and Janie and Jack. I am loving all of it!

Studio remodeling

We are remodeling the studio with a new mahogany cherry wood floor. I guess I should say my husband is! :) I think it's gorgeous, and I'm so excited to have some new options with which to use it! I'll be doing a lot more natural light sessions as well; mainly with newborns. Check back soon.... some exciting new stuff to come!

Stella's 6 months!

I just love these images of Stella! These were not taken in the studio; we just used natural window light. I can't wait for her to come back so we can photograph her in her ballet shoes. I Think we will use natural light again on a mahogany cherry wood floor. See you soon Stella!

Aubrey's senior portrait session

We did Aubrey's senior session last week, and 2 of her best friends came to help out. They did a great job making her laugh! Thanks for a great session Aubrey!

Danny

I did Danny's senior portrait session for him last Saturday, and I had a great time! He was so laid back and easy to work with. Of course, most guys are when it comes to getting their pictures taken! We had great weather for the outdoor shots, despite some pesky mosquitos. Thanks Danny!

It's getting to be that time of year again!

Fall is fast approaching, so for those of you that have been thinking about doing an outdoor family portrait session, now is the time to get it booked before all the spots are gone! I have posted the specials on my website as well. Sessions will be 45 minutes long, and will be booked back to back. If you are late for your session, we will do as many shots as possible until the next group arrives. Your sitting fee is due when you book your session. This holds your appointment for you, and is not refundable if you cancel. It may be applied towards a future session. If there is inclement weather, we will reschedule for another date. This is a great time to order holiday cards as well. One less thing to do in November or December! This is my busiest (and favorite) time of year, so editing/proofing time will run an extra day longer than normal. Several spots have already been booked, so don't delay in getting your session on the calendar!

Connor is 2!

I did an outdoor session for Connor last week, and it was tons of fun! I followed him around and got lots of great shots of him playing and exploring. He found a frog, and had tons of fun chasing it. He also had a ball throwing rocks in the water. What an arm! Future hall of famer, perhaps? I'm sure dad would be okay with that! :)
