Spring Mini-Sessions and other business stuff

Brace yourselves people. This is going to be a business post. Full of information and NO pictures. So if you're still reading, thank you! lol. I know I have been saying for a (very) long time that I am working on an actual website. And I am. I promise. :) But having a baby, not to mention 2 other boys, has kept me pretty darn busy this past year, and things like websites have fallen by the way side. But don't lose faith in me. It's coming...

A couple of items of business, I am right now scheduling shoots for spring and summer. If you know you want to book, do it fast so I can make sure to get you in the schedule. It's going fast. For the remainder of 2011, shoots will be $100. This includes an hour to an hour and a half of custom photography and 25-40 edited images on a high resolution disk.

Last year, we had great success with the Easter mini-shoots. I am going to offer Easter/Spring mini sessions again this year. The date will be Saturday, April 9th. I will take 3-5 sessions for that date. If those fill up and I have 3 or more people interested, I plan to schedule another date. Location for these mini-sessions is still being determined, but probably be somewhere in Belle Meade area. Please contact me if you are interested, for more specifics and for times. We will not be using a bunny again this year. If I can get my hands on a chick, we'll do that. Otherwise, we can still use Easter-ish props if you like. Or you can plan on the session to just be 'springy'. Again, contact me if you are interested. The cost will be $35 for 25 minutes of custom photography of up to 3 people, and up to 10 edited images on a disk. This will be the last time I can offer these mini-shoots for this price.

I have had a few people ask about photographing babies and pregnant bellies.... If you are pregnant or know someone who is and would like to get maternity and newborn shots done I would like to run a special. A "Mommy and Me" package consisting of two full shoots, bellies and babies..., for $165. It's a savings of 35 bucks. So take advantage of this deal.

And lastly, I would like to say thank you so much to my awesome clients. Your beautiful faces, smiles, children, animals, laughter, is truly the reason I do this and the reason I LOVE to do this. Thank you so much!!

Happy Monday!

Jackson Turns 4!

So I have decided that I am going to start sharing more personal blog posts with y'all. I will hopefully be posting more often and keeping this blog up to date. :) Today my little man turned 4 years old. I can't believe it's already been 4 years. Time sure does fly when you are having fun (and cleaning, and teaching, and scrubbing, and playing, and yelling) (not that I ever yell of course....) Here are some pictures from our day with Jackson.


He is such a ham... I think he really enjoyed the special attention he got today. In our family we try to make sure the person who's birthday it is feels super special all day, starting with streamers and presents in the morning, to ending with what ever they want for dinner and what they want to do in the evening.



My sweet neighbor and friend, Michele, came with us out to lunch today. Jackson loves Michele. It just wouldn't be his day if she didn't come along.



This little guy came along too. What a looker he is!! He looks so stunned to be a part of today's festivities.



On a last minute whim, daddy was able to sneak away from the office to spend lunch with us too. Jackson was so happy that he got just a little extra daddy time today. Lately we haven't seen daddy all too often, so it is so great when we can make these moments count.









Look who spent his first meal in a 'restaurant' high chair. He loved sitting like such a big boy and eating with us. What a cutie! But I am partial.



Then we took Jackson to CiCi's Cupcakes to pick out his very own cupcake. He was so excited. I wish I had gotten a picture of the cupcake. It was pink. I do love how my sweet little man loves his pink. :)

Then we came home and played his new Indiana Jones Lego game on the PS3. We are very blessed to have Mr. J in our family. I couldn't have asked for a better kid!

College Roommates - 10 years later

My sister in law Jessie had the chance this week to spend time with her old college roommate Tiffany. The two of them haven't been in the same state for close to ten years (I believe)... but for them it's like time hasn't passed. I loved seeing Jessie's happy face as she got to spend time with someone who knew her way back when. I know the feeling, all too well, of loving that precious time with a friend who lives far away...

Aren't they cute?! I want to jump in there and have a good time right along with them.



I was so flattered when Jess asked me to take some pictures of them... I wish it hadn't been so cold for these poor kids, but man are they cute!!







Happy Thursday!!

V Family Preview

What made this photo shoot so fun was the age range. Baby Megan is 10 months old and Grandma is... well, she's older than 10 months. :) I don't think I am including a big group shot in this preview, but there's 3 families and a sweet grandma! But I really enjoyed being with this fun loving family. Thank you so much for the chance to hang out with you all for the day! Hope you enjoy your preview!













Happy Thursday!

Sweet Mornings

Sometimes little moments in the day are what get you by.



Happy Tuesday!
