**Holiday Ordering Deadlines and Availability Update**

I am *pretty much* booked through the end of 2009…but, I always try to save a little flexibility for those last minute sessions! So, please contact me as soon as possible and I may be able to fit you in!

The deadline for Holiday delivery for prints is December 10th. Please order canvases and albums by December 6th and Holiday Cards by December 1st. CDs can be ordered up until December 20th. And I can do rush orders for prints if absolutely necessary!

Note that the office will be closed from December 23rd – January 3rd so I can enjoy some seriously awesome time with my guys! If you are expecting a baby during that time, just get in touch, I do sometimes sneak a newborn session in over the holidays

Of course, be sure to check out the holiday gift specials!!

Two GREAT holiday gift ideas!

Do you have a parent, spouse or friend in your life who never seems to need or want anything? I know my parents always say that they don’t, they just treasure time with us. And what better way to celebrate that time than to capture your memories as a family? In this economy many consider custom photography a luxury. I know that it is, and I so appreciate my awesome clients who are continuing to invest in it! I feel that it’s an investment worth making. I’ve worked hard over the years to keep it affordable, and to offer discounts and specials. And this one is definitely awesome!

Gift Certificate for a Portrait Session for $75
Through December 22nd, buy a Gift Certificate for a Portrait Session for $75! That’s a $175 value! It can be redeemed any time during 2010! Definitely a great gift for anyone expecting a baby, entering their senior year, getting engaged, or just enjoying their growing children!

7×7 Coffee Table Book – $150
Or did you have a recent session, and just haven’t decided how to use the images for a great gift? Consider an adorable coffee table book! Regularly $250, order by December 6th for $150! And there is still time to squeeze in a last minute session for a book! Grandparents LOVE these! It’s small enough to carry around and show to their friends, and looks great on display as well! It’s also great to keep at the office or for those who travel for work!

Almost Two!

This is such a fun age! And also quite a challenging age for photographers! This little guy wanted to explore everything and JUMP off of any available surface! I have a few just like this, so I loved his energy! And we did manage to capture a few shots of him not in motion…

These are two of my favorites. In fact, this might be one of my favorite father-child shots for a while!

Thanks so much, C family! And thank you for purchasing a gift certificate at the Nancy’s Butterfly Fund Gala silent auction and for supporting Interact, a great organization.

Even More!

More holiday cuteness! And this time a little guy!

More Holiday Cuteness!

Two more sweet sisters in their adorable holiday dresses! And, the last time I photographed this family, Baby I wasn’t even born yet! So, right when we arrived, Miss S was so excited to tell me “Now I’m a BIG SISTER!”

Holiday Cuteness!

Little girls in their holiday dresses are just so cute! And Miss A definitely loved wearing hers! The last time I photographed them, her baby sister M was just a newborn, so it was great to see them again in all of their holiday cuteness!

Congratulations, Carmen and Brad!!

Where do I begin with this wonderful wedding? Carmen and Brad were so great to work with! I know, I say that about all of my couples, and it’s true! I really feel blessed to work with such amazing couples! Carmen and Brad are both attorneys and met while working (on opposing sides, I might add!) on a very high profile case in the area. Their wedding was fun, relaxed and simple, yet elegant. It was held at The Barn at Valhalla – just an awesome, unique venue! And, I really loved the way they included their dogs! Their wedding was also featured on the OneWed Savvy Scoop blog!

Congratulations, Carmen and Brad! Thank you so much for having me as part of your day!

Another one…

That’s too cute not to share! And another one that was a baby last time I saw her, and is now turning into a little girl as she approaches her 2nd birthday. She brought an entourage with her and definitely flourished with the undivided attention of 5 adults! Two of them, including her mom, were Zachary’s first grade teachers, who we miss so much, so it was great to see them! Ok, on to the cuteness…

Too cute not to share!

I am working on so many sessions right now, I wish I had time to share them all on the blog! But this little one is just too adorable, I had to take a break to share a few images of her! The last time I saw her, she was a “baby” and this time, she showed up looking like such a big girl! But still, just as cute!

I promise to share more of my beautiful clients soon!

Last Minute Availability on Sunday for a Mini Session!

I have had a last minute cancellation on Sunday, November 1st in the afternoon for a Mini Session. These sessions were unadvertised but it would be the same as my regular Minis: $50 or $200 with the CD. Time is not quite set as I may shuffle a few others around, but let me know if you’re interested!!

And stay tuned, by strong request, I may be scheduling another Mini Session day in November!
