Merry Christmas and Newborn Slideshow

Now that the holiday madness has begun to subside, I can sit back and reflect upon how blessed I have been this year.  I am so thankful for awesome clients...clients who become much like family to me as I watch their children grow from tiny infants to toddlers to children.  

Last year, I put together a slideshow of all of the newborns I had photographed, and because it was so well-received, I decided to do it again this year.  As much as I would love to compile a slideshow of everyone I'd photographed this year, I am just not that organized (really??).  I also felt that since we were celebrating the birth of a very special newborn that this might remind us to stop and reflect upon how that newborn baby changed our world.  

To see the slideshow big, you can click here .  Or, if you prefer to watch it small, you can see it below:

I hope each and every one of you has a peaceful and joyful holiday.   Justa reminder that I will not be in the studio until the second week of January.  I will be posting some sessions over the break that I just never had a chance to post, so keep checking back!  Love to all of you!

Mary Charles

Sweet little Mary Charles came to visit me at the studio last week.  She was only 7 days old....ah, the perfect time for newborn pictures!  It took her a little while to fall asleep, but once she did, she was putty in my hands.  And mommy brought along the cutest hat, which of course, I had to include in a few pictures.

Welcome to the world, Mary Charles!

And....on another note:  remember that tomorrow is the last day to take advantage of the gift card sale.  Scroll down a couple of posts ago for more details!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Baby Jaye

I'm coming up for air just for a few minutes to share some sweet newborn photos.  I can't resist.  She is just too cute.  Then it's back to work!  if only some photography elves would drop in for a few days....

 

 

 

 

 

 
 
 
 
 
 

Gift cards, frame sale & holiday hours

Lots of things to talk about!!  First of all, the studio will be closed from December 17 - January 6th.  Please make your arrangements to pick up any orders that you want before the holidays by the 17th.  We will not be answering the phone during this time.  However, we will be answering emails - it just may take us a few days to get back with you!

Having a hard time finding that perfect gift for that special someone?  Or maybe your hubby is having a hard time finding something for you!  Why not surprise your loved ones (or yourself!) with the gift of photography!   Because I love you guys so much, I am offering a very limited special on all gift certificates from now until Monday, December 14.  Buy now and get 50 % more!  What that means is if you pay $100, we will give you a $150 gift certificate.  Spend $200 and get a $300 gift certificate.  Spend $500 and get a $750 gift certificate!  Spend $2000 and get a $3000 gift certificate!   To purchase your gift certificate, go to www.paypal.com, click on "send money", type in my email address ([email protected]) and type in the amount you wish to spend.  We will add in the extra 50% and package your gift card up in a candy-filled box, and it will be available for pick-up next week!  Just that easy!  Of course, you may purchase gift certificates at any time, but you must purchase between now and December 14th to get the extra 50%!

ALSO, from now until the close of business on December 17th, we will be offering a 25% discount on any in-stock frames.  Special orders will be 15% off.  What better gift than a gift card and a beautiful frame?  If you want to come by and look at the frames, please arrange a time with Christy ([email protected]).  We are in and out of the studio a good bit these days, so we want to make sure we don't miss you!

Lastly, we are going to be making some changes with the way we do things in 2010 and are excited to share some of that with you in the weeks to come.  Keep checking back for more info and check back for more pictures....I will be posting new ones soon!

Cuteness

Mom came prepared with lots of hats....so we tried them all on!

 

 

 

 

 
 
 
 
 

Zayna

It took a little magic (and some patience) to get little Zayna to realize just how tired she was and how much she REALLY needed to sleep, but it was well worth it!  I so enjoyed meeting her and her beautiful mom and grandmother, and I look forward to the opportunity to watch Zayna grow up!

 

 

 

 

 
 
 
 
 

Miss "E"

I had the privilege of photographing Miss "E" as a newborn right before she and her parents moved to Georgia.  I was so happy that they decided to make the trip back over for more pictures.  I love watching these little ones grow, and I hope they will continue to drive over as she gets older!  :)
