WE HAVE MOVED! GOODBYE OLD BLOG

Yup- say goodbye to this blog, I got a new one! It is so awesome! It has a category section so if you just want to search seniors, it will bring up all my post with just seniors,etc. The pictures are MUCH bigger too.

Here is the new address. It's my website/blog. Pretty easy to remember!

On the new blog, under blogroll, there is still a link to get back to this blog if you want, and a link to my flickr as well.

2009 Changes! 2008 Customers please read!

Hey everyone! I'm currently working and tweaking all the changes for 2009.
All 2008 customers that have not ordered yet, has until Dec. 31st , 2008 to get the old pricing. If I get your order in 2009, you will be charged the new 2009 prices.

Some of the things that have been changed:

1. Seniors will only be getting 1 session. If you want a second session, you will be able to pay 1/2 the senior setting fee.

2. All setting fees are being raised and are due 1 week after the appointment has been made. I will not mark your appointment down in pen until the session fee is in hand.

3. Regular portraits will have 1 week to order and seniors will have 2 weeks to order.
This will hopefully elimate all the open orders that I have from July/August still.

4. Ala Carte and Packages will be changed

5. I will be giving gifts away and having early ordering incentives. Some examples are:
3x3 mini accordians, photo magnets, 5x7 photo calendars and more.

I'll update you when I have everything in place on my site!

My family!!!!!!!!!!!

Just wanted to share some recent pictures of my beautiful family!

The perfect gift for the one who has EVERYTHING!

You know that family member or friend that has EVERYTHING and you just don't know what to get them. Well look no more, I offer gift Certificates! They are the perfect gift that NEVER gets old! And better yet- they can be completely last minute!!!!!!!!!

Alan and his deer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Alan was down for Reid's birthday party last night and of course he brought a deer with him.LOL When you get all these guys together at these parties that is all they talk about.

So I had to take a picture- you know me!

Tommy-Sneak Peek

Look at this cutie! He is so stylish too. We really wanted to do more outside pics, but little Tommy didn't want to.LOL Here is your sneak peek.

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!!!!!!!!!!

Just wanted to wish everyone a safe and happy Thanksgiving!

Casey-09 Senior

I had a fun senior session yesterday. We played with fire and played in the snow.LOL Casey is a pitcher, so we wanted to do some fun stuff. Here is your sneak peek Casey.

Grandchildren- Michigan Trip

Recognize Miles and Dillion? Yup-they are in there! Jennifer, the host of all the mini sessions, wanted to try to get a picture all of the grandchildren for Christmas gifts. Well, when it is FREEZING outside, and you have this many young kids, it can be quite the challenge. I still think the Grandparents will be happy though.

PS- Jennifer- thank you so much for such a great experience! I really enjoyed seeing you again and meeting all your friends!

Alex and Leo-Michigan Trip

Look how cute these boys are! And their clothes are perfect! I actually was freaking out last night thinking I lost the whole session due to some problems with my CF card, but thankfully I was able to recover about 90% of the pictures. And I'm so glad I did because these little guys are too cute.

Dawley Family- Michigan Trip

Look at this great family. The sweet little baby was only 5 days old, and look at mom-WOW!

I wish I had a full session with them instead of a mini because I would have loved to do some really cool shots with the baby, but we just ran out of time. More on flickr.

Jobson Family-Michigan Trip

Man this family was so much fun! They are from England and I loved listening to them talk. They were such a caring family and truely loved each other. I could share so manyhere but I won't, you'll have to look on flickr for more.

Miss Sydney- Michigan Trip

This is Miss Sydney-my second session Saturday. She is such a DOLL. She is so sweet and precious.

Vinny- Michigan Trip

Vinny was my first little guy of the day. He was full of spunk. I wish I had more time with him because he was really warming up to me towards the end. He has the cutest deep voice and I loved listening to him talk.

My friend Beth and her family-Michigan Trip

I met Beth a while ago on one of my boards I post at regularly. I was so excited to find out that she lived in Michigan and I could finally meet up with her. She is as nice in person as she is online and her family is so sweet. She was such a great help on Saturday. Here are the sneak peeks I sent her.
