newborn girl

January 4th, 2009

 If you are pregnant and due in January, February or March, I have an offer for you! I am looking to build my newborn portfolio. If you book a newborn session (session must take place when the baby is under 2 weeks old), you will get a free mini maternity session with 5-10 full resolution images on a CD. If any of my blog readers know any pregnant mom’s due in Jan. or Feb. please have them contact me if they are interested.

My most recent newborn was a two week old little girl. I got a few sleeping shots then she woke up and was wide awake the rest of the time I was there.

image boxes and albums

January 1st, 2009

I am so excited about 2 new products I will be offering this year. The first is an image box. The image box will hold all a 5×7 print of each image from your session. Your box will be customized with your favorite photo from your session and your family name or children’s name on the spine.  It can be purchased with the just the session photos or as part of the digital collection. With the digital collection you receive a 5×7 of every image from your session plus all of the full resolution files. This is just a sample of a design that is offered. My pictures don’t do the box justice, it is gorgeous.

Here you can see the button that will hold your DVD if you purchase the digital collection.

 The second new product is a 9×9 inch flush mount album (it will also be available in a 6×6 in. size). The images are printed directly on the pages. This album will hold 30 of your favorite sessions images. The pages are nice and thick and the book can open up flat. The cover will be customized with the photo of your choice. You will have to have this album once you see it in person - it is that gorgeous!

extended family

December 27th, 2008

I met up with this amazing family to do a session for their entire family. There were five of six siblings with their spouses and children and grandma. It was crazy and fun. They are going to have to wait to see the group shots, but I picked out a few of the kids individual photos to give them a little sneak peek.
