Update on Fall Availablitity

{more} Holiday Info

Holiday Deadlines! Keep this in mind when booking your session! You need to leave enough time for me to do my work and you to still have time to order! Like the image says; you are MORE than welcome to order past the deadline. I just cannot guarantee them in time for holidays (but they very well may be in with plenty of time).

And last but not least, a *special* and a little preview! Here's the holiday special for 2008. The card you see is one of my new cards for this season! Next week I'll have the whole collection up on the website to view. Cute stuff! I'll also have some more traditional offerings (from last year) if you prefer something a little more classic and simple.

Fall Calendar

Just updating the calendar! I will be back tomorrow with holday info and specials, and later this week with the new holiday cards for this year!

I know that it is hard to start thinking about the holidays as summer vacations seemed to have just begun, but I urge you to get a jump on those sessions you've been wanting. Fall slots fill up fast, and suppliers get busy! In order to keep you cool, calm and collected, book those sessions now and get a head start addressing those holiday cards (kidding-sort of!).

Warm weather makes perfect holiday portraits, or any-time portraits as well. Don't forget; sessions do not have to take place outside! This fall I currently have 10 slots remaining!

Fun New Stuff!

Boy do I have some exciting things in store for the next few months!

First on my list! I'm so happy to bring you these fantastic (and affordable) photo bags. There's a ton of shapes and sizes to choose from, and even a couple that could be unisex (dad's need cool photo gear too).

I have had mine for a few months now and get so many compliments on it. It held up fabulously on the airplane too (being jammed under the seat and all the abuse that comes with travel). These will be available starting today! Contact me for a price list.

Here's a small sampling:

My Favorite Girls!

Ran out this week to photograph my favorite gaggle of girls (remember the quads from THIS post and THIS post?). They are growing so much, and it is so fun to see them change each time! Big sister gets even more sophistocated each time I see her too. Their mama is one amazing lady. I leave there so tired every time! :)

I must say I think the individuals we did this time showcase their budding personalities, and I love them! Without further ado:

Blog Contest!

Yippee! Who doesn't love a contest!

Here's the scoop:
I love capturing memories for you in photographs. It is extremely rewarding and touching, not to mention just plain fun! Some of my most favorite memories are from summer evenings.

I grew up in "cow country" so to speak, on the edge of the main county near a bunch of farms. I can still remember the taste of fresh veggies right from our garden, days in our swimming pool (green hair!) and my fondest memories of campfires by the pond. I remember them almost every weekend...even if they were less frequent than that, time runs together in a childhood mind. The adults would sip their beverages, and the kiddies would roast marshmallows and eat smores, climb trees, swing and chat in the treehouse until the mosquitoes and black flies ate us alive. Ah, summer...

Contest rules are as follows: EMAIL me your favorite summer memory (doesn't have to be childhood). Also send me your favorite picture from any summer and a short description of why it speaks to you. Entrants MUST be signed up for the newsletter (to the right) to qualify.

Deadline is July 10. I will post the winner's memory and photo on the blog! Encourage your friends to enter too! The winner will recieve a discounted session and print credit!

OH! And a friendly reminder that I will soon open my fall schedule and posting holiday deadlines. NOW is the time to book your sessions and avoid the holiday rush! (you can order holiday cards at a later date)

Out of Town

Just a reminder that I will be out of town until Monday. I will return all calls and emails as quickly as I can once I return! Have a great weekend!

{more to} love

One more from my e-session...absolutely in lurve with this one!

Weird to see yourself in photos, isn't it? Especially because I prefer to be behind the camera!

These are funny to me, because I don't see me as I am shooting (obviously). Photos taken my my mom's cousin and her husband, who graciously let us crash their party! :)

Me taking the crab shots...


And at the Corolla Lighthouse grounds...


Thanks Jean and Dave!

Love

Recent E session (engagement) with M & R. They are as cute as can be. So sweet! Here are a couple of my favorites as I make my way through the images...more to come I'm sure!

Feelin' Crabby?

Don't you just love these fiddler crabs? I sure do!




I've been busy traveling, and just had to share some of my miscellaneous beach photos! :) I had a great time with my family just relaxing!
