Holiday Card designs
Just a reposting of the Holiday Card designs for this year! Many people have still not firmed up their holiday photo sessions – make sure you do not miss out. If you would like to purchase holiday cards with your session, you must book a session for no later than November 22. If you want prints or other products for holiday gift giving, the deadline to order is December 7. Anything after that *may* or may not be accommodated, depending on our schedules, and a rush fee will apply. Get it done and out of the way early – contact me today!

Little Mr. Z
Sweet Mr. Z came to the studio last week and we had a delightful time. This little one is quite certain about exactly what he does and does not like – as most 2 year olds do! Even though I was having a slight lighting mishap, he was a great sport and Mom was so patient! Thank you so much Evelyn for introducing me to your special little man! I hope you enjoy your images – thanks for the great time!

Terrific Turners
Here is a little sneak preview from my session with the Turner Family yesterday afternoon. These spunky twins and their older brother were delightful.

Fun’d Running
My kids ran a “fun’d run” at school on Friday. This is one of the major fundraisers for the PTA. Both of them managed to get in 3 laps within the 20 minutes. Neither of them are thrilled with running so I am proud of them for putting up a good effort. Here are some quick snaps.

Caleb’s slideshow
Here are the rest of the images from Caleb’s short session. Since we didn’t get to do his newborn session right away, he’s about a month old here and was definitely already starting to “stretch out” and lose that curled up newness… he almost rolled over during the session! He’s getting so big already – I’m going to have to keep up with this little one as he grows!
- He's just adorable. You've done a great job here!September 21, 2009 - 10:36 am
- Gorgeous!!September 10, 2009 - 3:34 pm
- SO gorgeous! Love them... :)September 8, 2009 - 4:28 pm
