Addison...

Miss Addison came for her milestone month pics today. She has changed so much since her newborn session! Among those changes, she also has had her ears pierced! If she wasn't enjoying chewing on her fist, she was jibber-jabbering. I love hearing babies tell us like it is! So sweet...

James @ 6 months...

Little man came for his 6 month pics today. He was in a very good mood, laughing and smiling at his Mommy! We are keeping James and his family in our thoughts and prayers as next week he will undergo surgery to correct a condition he was born with, Craniosynostosis. What a special little guy, and a true blessing to me to be able to follow James and watch him grow and change throughout the first year of his life!

Makayla

I love this sweet girl's chubby cheeks! She was in such a good mood today, really showing her personality. We celebrated Makayla turning ONE with birthday pics and a cupcake smash. She was NOT thrilled about the icing so we got some funny expressions. Those expressions say it all on just what she thought of that cupcake. Love it!

2010 Preview...

2010 Preview of some upcoming changes:

• With a minimum $ print purchase, you will receive a complimentary disk with all the session images. You will be able to reprint images up to a 4x6 beautifully. This will be perfect for sharing with friends and family, making cards and announcements, and email/web use. It's important to have digital copies of your images. This allows you to have access to them anytime you need prints or products. It's also a very significant keepsake that you can share and look back on for many years to come.


• While the print prices will be increasing a bit, there will be a new order deadline policy taking effect. If you place your order by the order deadline, you will receive 15% off regular print pricing!


• The portrait session's structure is changing...there will now be 5 types of sessions. The Giggles sessions will be available for one child; the Hugs session will be available for siblings or One Family; the Kisses session will be available for couples and engagements;, the Bellies session will be available for the Mommy-to-be; and the Legacy session will be available for Extended Families. Sometimes sessions need to be more customized, depending on your familial structure. When you contact me to schedule a session, I will make sure we get the right session that fits your photography needs.


• Some new products that will be offered include Matboard mounting(prevents print wrinkling and adds support), Gallery Wraps(1.5" width stretcher frame, ready to hang-no frame needed), and Square prints ranging from 5x5 to 20x20.

Still working on more stuff but wanted to share a few... :) Have a great day!!

In with the New! Some 2010 changes...

With the New Year comes new changes! For 2010, I will be updating the pricing as well as changing the structure of sessions. I want to give all my clients an opportunity to purchase prints at the 2009 pricing before the 2010 price increase takes effect. If you would like to purchase any prints at last year's price, please do so by January 31st. After that, everything will be updated to the 2010 pricing. I would say 'Blame the economy!', which is a very accurate statement, but I think everyone knows that is the reason, so it doesn't need to be reiterated over and over! :)

Also, I will be archiving portrait sessions from 2009 and as a Thank You to all my 2009 clients, I want to give you guys a limited-time opportunity to purchase a disk with all session images at 50% off regular price. This disk will be available to purchase for $125. If you have more than one session, each additional session disk will be only $50. Please let me know if you want this disk before February 28, 2010. After this date, everything will be removed from my computer and archived to storage. Once a session has been archived, you will no longer be able to purchase prints from that session. You will, however, be able to purchase an archived disk at the full price of $250. If you didn't make an initial order from your session, you are not eligible for this offer.

I'm continuing to work on some upcoming Winter and Valentine's Day specials, so keep checking back!

TTFN!
