New stuff

If anyone has been receiving delayed responses, no responses, haven't gotten an order you've placed or just feel like I'm ignoring you, I'm not! I got a nasty little bug (or something) this week so I haven't been able to do a whole lot, but I am back to working hard now.

On a better note, I was able to pick up this big teacup planter that I've has my eye on for a while. So I tested it out with Riley.

She was a little confused, like "you WANT me to get naked?" "you WANT me to sit in that over sized breakable cup?". She had fun, but more because she was doing something I would normally be telling her she can't. If you want to be the next beautiful child to sit in my cup, give me a call.

Also, I've got something that will make alot of people happy. New storyboards & collages- It's very rare when someone DOESN'T get a storyboard, collage or both from their sessions, and I don't blame them because I love them also! I was offering a basic 9 image collage or 3 image storyboard (or of course a custom designed one) but now we have more options! Here are the new collage designs- I'll post the storyboard ones later.

Plain Jane
This one is pretty big- 20x18- and will require custom framing, but that is why I now offer framing!

Life's a Zoo

On Sunday I did a fun family session at the National Zoo in DC. I don't think I've ever been around such well behaved kids, or maybe it's just because I'm used to my little terror. It seem's everyone had the same idea, because the park was packed! But we got some great images...

Mothers Day Promotion

For anyone who doesn't know, I've got baby number 2 on the way! That's crazy, I know. I went for an ultrasound last Thursday, good news is I've got a healthy babe but bad news is they were being stubborn, so we couldn't find out the sex! This poor child is going to be the guinea pig of all my newborn shoot ideas.

So speaking of being a Mom, I always want to run specials during holidays but I don't realize there is an actual holiday until about a week before. This time Mothers day is May 13th, and I'm prepared. Do something different this year! Here's a special promo just for you and the kids!

First we'll [secretly] meet up with the kid(s) for a half hour mini shoot, you'll pick out your favorite image from the session and I'll make into a gorgeous 8x10 canvas gallery wrap. Mom will open it up on mothers day and see your beautiful child(ren) smiling? back. I bet she'll be so excited about this she'll want to hang it up right away and might not even notice the gift certificate included! You'll probably have to point out to her and explain that she gets to have a full family session with me! Not only that, but it includes ANOTHER 8x10 gallery wrap (to add to your collection) AND an Art Book so she can show all her friends and brag about what you got her for mothers day!

Dad of the Year Package
$490
-mini kid(s) session
-8x10 canvas gallery wrap (w/ image from mini session)
-complete family session
-8x10 canvas gallery wrap (w/image from family session)

But what if you're not officially a mom yet. "Year in the Life of Baby" packages are 20% off until Mothers day!

Prom Portrait Sessions!

I've been approached from a couple different seniors about doing a pre-prom portrait session. I had never even though of this or heard of this being done before, and thought it was genius! First, who wants to remember their prom with blurry, boring posed shots by the mantel that your mom took? I can speak from experience, I literally have ONE in focus picture of myself at prom. So instead you can have me, photograph you and all of your friends for a stylish and fun session. So if you have interest in this please contact me asap so I can reserve your date. Obviously I can only take one, possibly two groups, per school/date. The session would take place either at a close beach, downtown, park or neighborhood, and would include solo, couple and group portraits!

$50 per person (4 people MINIMUM)
includes
-time & talent
-$50 voucher credit
-private online proofing and ordering

March 3, 2007 Wedding

Yesterday I shot one of the very few weddings I am doing this year, It was the perfect day for a wedding even if we weren't outside. These two are really fantastic people, with great friends, the bride and groom met in Africa where he lived and they definitely fell in love!
