Relay For Life final total and Back to School Sale

Relay For Life
I wanted to quickly give a special thanks to everyone who made a donation to our Relay for Life team! Our team came in fifth place overall with just over $10K raised. My total donations came to roughtly $2200, so THANK YOU ALL to everyone who helped. A couple clients even came out to cheer us on and watch me get my hair cut off for Locks of Love (hey, a deal's a deal, right?). We had a great time- can't wait till next year.

Back to School Sale
For $250 you can receive your own private indoor or outdoor session plus an 8x10, 4 5x7, and 22 wallets (a $425 value). Preschool through High School Seniors welcome. Through September. Session times for this special extremely limited. Only 9 openings for this special all month, so call early to get the best spots on the schedule!

The holidays are coming!!
September is time to start thinking about holiday cards! Deadline for ordering your custom designer holiday cards is Nov 16 to guarantee arrival in time to mail before Christmas! Prices for cards start as low as $40.

Referral Bonus
I always hear from my clients how much they love my work and how much their friends love my work. I want to know who is telling who! So if you send your friends to me and they schedule their own appointment, make sure they tell me that you sent them, and I will give you a free 8x10 on your next session! Even better- if you refer TEN friends and they all schedule a session, I will give you a free 11x14 canvas covered session album from your next session!! I have never offered this before- EVER, and may not do it very long (as those books aren't cheap) so if you've been wanting one but couldn't convince your hubby that it was necessary- start talking to your friends. Send them to this blog, send them to my website (which is outdated because somehow my server login info got wiped out and it's a long weekend so I can't call them to get it fixed until probably Wednesday).

That's it for now for me. I hope everyone has a great Labor Day Weekend!

Just for fun!

I don't get to have sessions with my kids very often. On the rare occasion I do get them to agree to humor me and get to the studio, I get pretty excited about it. Today was one of those days. My beautiful girl who is about to be a SECOND grader in 3 weeks- asked if we could do some pictures of her that we could make look like Hannah Montana posters. Excited just as much about the fact that she is willingly going to wash her hair (instead of kicking and screaming like she has the rest of this summer) as I am that we get to "play", I agree and we set off. She was a good sport all during the getting ready- we did hair and even a little make-up- and then got her changed into her first clothing change- we had planned for 3 outfits.

However, seven shots into the session the mood changed, and we were done. I was thankful that we got a few really cute ones to work with right away, and she is thrilled with what we came up with for her "poster":

If you're interested, here is a post from last year with a photo of Kayla 3 weeks before starting first grade. My, how time flies...

A few recent sweeties

Here are a few of my most recent cutie babies. I realized it had been a while since I had added any new photos- since Mr. Elliott is now 9 months old! Here he is (see him again in the teacup in a below post). Enjoy!



And a few other little cutie pies. Names left out without parent permission.
