Headed to Dallas today…got a couple sessions there and looking forward to hanging out with my sis. At last check-I had 112 fans on my facebook fan page! I really appreciate all of your support! To show my gratitude, I am going to give away a free session-contest will start next week! I will blog with all the details. Until then, I’ll leave you with this face:

So when we were on break, I did a little Valentine’s Day session…I just love Valentine’s Day. Something about all that pink and red in the middle of drab winter. I had these fun fabrics I wanted to try out as backdrops…I think it worked out well. These would be cute Valentines for the girls to take to class, no? But alas, they both wanted Valentines out of the box from Target. No one appreciates my art!!!! So I am posting them here for you to enjoy.

Happy Friday!

OK I have been on facebook for some time now…tracking down my best friends from junior high, laughing at horrible pictures.  But let’s face it-everyone is on facebook, including my clients-so why not have a fan page.  You can check it out (and become a fan, come on, you know you want to) by clicking here!

I just checked it this morning, really.  I am alive!  I completely checked out and took a much-needed break, but now I am back and ready for 2010.  And since I am so behind on blogging-I figured why not summarize the whole year in a nifty little slideshow.  I used Animoto and boy was it easy.  Just upload your images and they do it all for you!  Totally worth it, in my book.  So here it is….2009 in review.

Like it does every year..I book and book sessions and then one day, there just isn’t any room left! Folks I am booked for 2009. I wish I had 29 hours per day, and like 4 of me…but alas that is not the case. I am booking now for January 2010…remember there are always New Years cards! Here’s a sample of the fun we have been having this fall-more pics soon!  (I promise)

FYI there are 3 spots still left for the Mini Session day on Saturday.  For more info, click on “specials” above.  Email me asap if you are interested!

What I am working on this evening (should be upstairs watching Gossip Girl reruns, but what can you do)…totally captures what is happening at this client’s home right now.

Good night!

Happy Monday!
I have finished all the new holiday card templates and boy am I excited to cross that one off my list! Now we are ready to roll for the holidays.

To view:
Go to my site-click “portfolio site” above, and then click on client proofing.
To view single sided cards enter password “single”
To view double sided cards enter password “double”

For those of you participating in the fall mini sessions-your package includes 25 of the double sided cards. Additional sets are only $30.

For those of you doing regular sessions-I am pleased to announce SPECIAL discounted pricing on cards for this year. I know times are tough and we are all looking for the best deal-and I would love to be your one stop shop for holiday cards. Here’s the new pricing:

Single sided cards (5×7 on photo paper) are now $1.25 for the first 25 and $1.00 for any additional cards over that. Regularly $2.00 each-this is a steal of a deal!

Double sided cards (press printed on cardstock with a linen texture-VERY NICE) are now $50 for a box of 25, and then $30 for each additional set of 25! These were regularly $60 per set with no discount break- so again, a great deal.

Please note that at this special price there cannot be any layout changes on the existing templates-however, fonts, colors, wording may be changed.

And of course, no post would be complete without an image-so how bout one of my new fave holiday cards for this season:

I am loving this…

and thinking about how wonderful grandparents are, like the ones whom I photographed with these kids at this session. More coming soon!   I’ll be recapping a wonderful summer of fun sessions.  Good night!

From the session with cute little “C”-18 months old and a huge Thomas fan. On this day, despite the bubbles–I had to give Mom and Dad my “out clause”-we decided after an hour to reshoot on another day. This is always an option-if little one skips a nap, or maybe unbeknownst to you he is coming down with a cold, and is just not himself-we can schedule a do-over. And on the second day we got lots of fantastic images. Here are a few more.
