Snips and Snails and Puppy Dog Tails

Snips and Snails and Puppy Dog Tails...that's what my recent sessions have been made of! I am back to doing sessions now and I have had a string of adorable little boys the last couple of weeks.
Here's precious newborn Cooper:




Adorable, nine-month-old Joshua:




Cutie-patootie, one-year-old Riley:




And handsome three-year-old Cole:




So even if my house is all about the Barbies and Princesses, I can still get my fill of little boy stuff during my photography sessions! By the way, if you are interested in an October session (which is usually the best month for fall color) please email me as soon as possible to be sure you get a spot on the calendar.

Portrait Plans

I am excited to introduce a couple of portrait plans to all of you! Portraits plans are a grouping of sessions that you pay for in a lump sum and in return you save money. My new portraits plans are as follows:

The Bellies & Babies Plan--$100.00
This plan includes a maternity session with proofs and a newborn session with proofs. In addition you will receive an 8x10 from each session and 25% off birth announcements. Of course, additional prints and custom items may be purchased at regular prices. The $100.00 amount is due at the maternity session.

Here are a couple examples of birth announcements. Each announcement is custom designed just for you and your baby!





The Here I Grow Plan--$200.00
This plan includes four sessions during baby's first year (3 months, 6 months, 9 months, and 12 months). It includes proofs from all sessions. You will also receive an 8x10 from each session and a "Here I Grow" storyboard with a photo from each session after all sessions are completed. Additional prints and custom items may be purchased at regular prices. For this plan, $100.00 is due at the 3 month session and the remaining $100 is due at the nine month session.

Here is an example of a "Here I Grow" storyboard, featuring my favorite little wild man Riley.

(You can click on any of the images in the blog to see them larger.)

If you are interested in a portrait plan, just give me call or send an email. If you know someone who is expecting or has a new baby, be sure to pass this information along to them!

And on a totally unrelated note, here is what little Stella is doing now:

In case you can't tell, that is a real smile on her cute little face (not those gassy newborn sleeping smiles, but a genuine gummy baby smile). Doesn't that just make you smile too?

Happy Birthday!

Some of the first babies I photographed are celebrating their first birthdays! I feel blessed to have captured the memories of their first year, watching them grow and change so much. I also look forward to capturing the memories that are to come for these special cuties. Last week I had the pleasure of taking Keira's first birthday portraits. I first took photos of Keira when she was just three days old! Here she is from last August:





And here is Keira from this August as she turns one:





Happy 1st Birthday, Keira! I look forward to watching you grow and celebrate many more birthdays.
