I spent the afternoon with Mr. Handsome. Behind the black and white are the biggest blue eyes I’ve ever seen. Actually, I’ve seen them before on this little guy in December when we were taking holiday photos. Today we were shooting more photographs for keepsakes and for his special birthday invitation (check back in a few weeks for the finished product).

Although quite a few of the cards I create are during the holidays, I also design birthday invitations, birth announcements and thank you cards. These personalized cards can be created with photographs from a Signature Photo Session or images you submit. I love the feedback my clients share with me after they’ve sent out their cards! Let me know if there’s something I can design for you!

Have a great week everyone!

Happy Groundhog’s Day! Did you hear? Phil spotted his shadow this morning. Anyone happy to hear we have six more weeks of winter? Personally, I was already gearing up for Spring and Easter eggs, but how can I argue with a groundhog?

I’ve decided we should make the best of the news and celebrate with Phil by taking advantage of 6-Weeks of Winter Savings.

Spread Phil’s Love Gift Session
Enjoy two sessions for the price of one! These gift sessions are perfect to share with a friend or to give to someone as a gift. Each session will last approximately an hour and can be indoors or outdoors for up to 4 people. Both sessions must be booked at the same time and are limited to available weekday and weekends over the next six weeks.

Phil’s Shadow Storyboards
Phil won’t be the only one seeing double this Winter. Purchase a Storyboard (any size) from your photo session and receive a second Mini-Storyboard (4″x10″) for FREE. Anyone with a photo session during the next six weeks can take advantage of this offer.

As always, there’s quantity discounts offered on prints as well as an early order discount for all clients.

ENJOY!

My sincere thanks to all of the families I was able to work with in 2007! It really is a pleasure to meet and photograph so many nice people and I just adore the children who shared their smiles with me. Thank you all for trusting in me to capture those special moments.

For those familiar faces, those clients who I’ve had the opportunity to work with more than once, thank you! It’s a thrill to see children again and see how they have grown since previous sessions.

I look forward to a wonderful 2008!

My Best,
Emily

BUT … you’re not going to get smiles out of me very easily! I could read his mind. He smiled with his eyes and every once and a while gave me a little smirk. What beautiful big blue eyes and such a calming nature. I love photographing this little one …

It’s a week before Christmas and I’ve finally caught up on all of my holiday sessions! They were so much fun this year as many of the families I’ve photographed before and was able to see how their children have grown through the year. There were also several new families who added so many new smiles to my season. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to capture those memories for you!

I wanted to share a few of the images that have be spreading holiday joy …

Photographs make wonderful holiday gifts for your family and friends. Mom arranged to have these photos taken of her son and the family boxer as a gift for her husband. We laughed as we were shooting as everyone expected the older boxer to be the easy one to position, BUT it turned out she was so excited to have her picture taken she could hardly sit still! I think Dad is going to be very surprised when he opens this gift from his two babies …

Hard to believe tomorrow is December! November was full of many fun photo sessions that I hope to share with you over the next couple of days. The warmer weather allowed for more outdoor sessions which was nice, as the fall colors always make a nice backdrop.

If you are still looking to have photographs taken for use in holiday cards or to give as a gift, please contact me ASAP. Weekends are booked, but I do have a few weekday sessions available.

If you have your own photograph, but would like to have cards created, e-mail me and we can discuss designs.

THANKS!

Emily

Well … congratulations on making it through this photo session! It’s late October and we were outside shooting in sunshine and 70 degrees .. perfect! I really enjoyed meeting this senior and his Mom. I’m usually on the ground snapping pics of toddlers so this was a nice change of pace. I only had to do my duck voice one time for a smile.

I thought a couple of these photos would look good as a Signature Print. I choose “Cool Tones” and “Fade In” which feel more appropriate for a Senior rather than the “Color Hints” or “Imagine” signatures.

Enjoy!

I refuse to look back at the date of my last post. I know it’s been a month or so, but the weeks have been full of catch up business work as well as personal matters. It’s been one of those summers where you just have to buck the normal schedule and come to terms with addressing loose ends so you can move forward more efficiently. Whew! Welcome to today!

September began with a flurry of back-to-school children’s sessions and will continue to be busy throughout the next few months, as we all prepare for the holidays. Now is the time to begin thinking about having family portraits done for Christmas cards and gifts to insure a timely delivery. I’m currently booking sessions through December, but orders for holiday deliveries must be placed by December 3, 2007. Newborn photos are the exception as I will always work to accommodate a new baby session!

Fantastic Fall Savings

Sign up for an outdoor Signature Photo Session during the month of September and receive a 20% discount off the session price. Session date must be on or before October 31, 2007 to receive the discount.

Mommy and Daddy were overjoyed with the arrival of Baby K.! I was elated too, as I was able to take some of the first photographs of the little bug. I met the couple at the hospital after the birth and then a few days later for a home session. I like to photograph newborns within in a few weeks of birth when they are alert, but still tiny and less wiggly!

And here are a couple from home where I finally was able to capture a few with his eyes open …

Such a little wrinkle, isn’t he? Adorable. I’m looking forward to watching (and photographing!) him as he grows …

THANK YOU!
