The Latest

Here are some of the latest custom photo cards to come off the press.

This was a premium photo birth announcement printed on linen stock and looked great in person.

And a baby shower invitation:

This is First Birthday Party Photo Invitation.  "Stella" means star, so they were doing a movie star theme.  Here is what we came up with using the photos from her cake smashing session.

Thanks for looking.  Contact me if you have a special event coming up and would like something original designed just for you.

Just wanted to post a reminder about Halloween Photo Cards. You get 25 of these unique Halloween Photo Cards for $25. I need photos of your little spooks before October 13th when this promotion ends. Click on the Halloween Cards link to the right to see the 3 layout choices.

2. FREE PORTRAIT SESSION FEES

October is the perfect time of year to get outdoor family photos. Now through the end of the month I am offering FREE SESSION FEES with a $75 minimum order.  Does not apply to previously placed orders.

This order can consist of storyboards, canvases, holiday cards or calendars made from the photos taken!! Or you can just get traditional prints :) I can even shoot at your chosen location if it's pretty close by (email me for more info.)

Baby Pieces Panels

In one of my previous posts, I mentioned that I would post the finished product on a matted and framed baby pieces panel. The top one is the one that the client chose, and the bottom shows another option. I have several ways I can mat and frame these and there are unlimited choices as far as the center panel graphic. On both of these we have the monogram and the baby's birthday, but it could be a quote or another photo, anything you like. I took some pictures of them to share.

These are 16" square and they cost around $165 including the portraits ($25 sitting fee applies.)

Beach Portraits

Just wanted to share the portraits I took while on vacation :)

Precious Little Pieces

I recently had the privilege of photographing this precious six week old baby girl. Ever since, I have been so excited to share these portraits but I didn't want to post them until her mom came over to view them. Here is her precious pieces panel. The great thing about this is that there are a few options for displaying it. We can add some color and design and print it on a canvas wrap, or you can have it matted and framed for a more traditional look. We are going to go with traditional on this, and I will be sure to post the "real life" version when it's framed and ready.

Patty Cake Portraits

I've had a lot of people ask me to photograph their children and families lately. What a privilege it is! My most recent session was this past week. I photographed these adorable kids at the Agricultural Center. I love the results, I think we were really able to capture "them."
Doesn't this guy just look like a Ralph Lauren ad waiting to happen?

And his sister? Precious!!!

Here are a few more of my favorites from that day:

A few weeks earlier I had a session with this little cutie:

These were her nine month portraits and she couldn't have been more cooperative and sweet. She really came alive in front of this tiny baby grand piano! There were some great shots of her "singing", although I really think she is going be a very talented dancer or gymnast one day. She already has the most perfect splits with pointed toes, and a perfect "eleve`", as you can see here:

Her "Expressions" Panel:
I am still planning to post more cards soon, so keep checking back :) Thanks for looking!
