cute cousins & more!

Karen called me up and wanted to set up 2 back to back sessions for the same day. 1 for her 2 cute kiddos with their 2 cousins and then another session for just their little family. Wrangling these 4 kiddos was quite a workout but we managed to get some cute shots none the less. What a sweet little family they are! A few weeks later I got to meet up with Lillian (the sweet baby) for her 1 year session! I'll have to share those in another post but enjoy these for now! Going to be another big share but hey, technically I'm sharing 2 sessions in this post! lol Thanks guys!




Paisley & Fam

I always get excited to see some of the newborns I photograph again. It's amazing to get to watch them grow! When Paisley's mommy called to set up a fall/family session I was super excited. I hadn't seen Paisley since her newborn session and my how she's grown in 6 months! What a doll & big brother Gage is going to break some hearts!

New Pricing

I've considered raising my prices for some time now but really struggled with the idea. I don't in any way shape or form want to make my photography unaffordable to the average Joe but at the same time, I'm working so much and taking so much time away from my children with shooting, editing, and creating projects for my fabulous clients. So after much prayer and consideration, I have decided to bump prices up ever so slightly. My goal is to always remain affordable but at the same time, make it a fair deal for me with the amount of time that is involved. As you saw in an earlier post, my editing process can sometimes take 20-30 mins per photo multiply that by the amount of photos I edit per session, we are sometimes talking HOURS of my day that I am sitting here editing instead of playing with my children. So, I need to make a little more money to bribe them! hahaha jk (kinda)

New pricing will be as follows:
Session Fee (1-4) people: $125 (includes a $50 print credit)
More than 4 people? Each additional person will be $20
Boudoir session: $200 (includes 8.5x11 album)
Newborns $150 ($30 print credit & 10x10 mounted storyboard)

Print pricing:
8 wallets: $12
4x6: $6/Mounted:$8
5x5 & 5x7: $10/Mounted:$14
8x10 & 8x8: $13/Mounted:$20
10x10: $18/Mounted:$24
11x14: $24/Mounted:$32
12x12:$28/Mounted:$36
Photo CD of 4x6 proofs: $200
(additional copies: $20/each)

What's a mounted print you might be asking? A mounted print is your photo mounted on heavy matboard for added sturdiness & extra fun! These prints look great on an easel, in a frame like a regular print, or hung with a piece of cute ribbon on a wall!
1 1/2" thick Gallery Wraps:
8x10: $85
11x14: $110
16x20: $155
20x24: $175
(addtl sizes available, ask me for pricing and additional info)
Photo says 1/2 inch but it's late & I had a little typo. You get the idea! lol

Greeting Card pricing will remain the same
Please contact me for Wedding & Event pricing details
New package pricing will be available soon!

Thank you so much for being such fantastic customers! As always, I will continue to serve the Lord with my talent in anyway that I can with charity functions and give aways. I will always honor the "if you can't afford my pricing just let me know" motto as well. I mean it, I don't ever want anyone to feel like they can't afford photos. We can always work something out!

New pricing will take effect January 1, 2011.

xoxo Merry Christmas everyone!

BryBry & Nene

If you know anything about me at all you know that I'm surrounded by gorgeous girls! Not only do I have 2 simply adorable daughters, I also have 4 gorgeous nieces! You met sweet Eva & Sofia in an earlier post so now it's my absolute pleasure to share with you Briley & Neeley or BryBry & Nene as they're often called around here! They're so stinkin' cute and always have me laughing. Briley is quite the character and Shy little Neeley is a goof ball! We had so much fun getting these super cute shots! I know this is a massive share but, what can I say I just love my girls! :) Hoping to get some more of sweet Eva & Sofia soon! Eva is growing so much, I'm dying to share her with you guys some more when she gets to sitting all by herself (if she isn't already!)









Raggedy Ava!

Oh sweet Ava is becoming one of my favorite little ladies to photograph. I first met her a few months ago at her first birthday shoot and instantly loved her & her sweet gma Donna. I got to see her again for her fall session and what a cute little Raggedy Ann she made! Can't wait to see her again for Christmas pictures!




Claudia & Noah's fall fun!

It amazes me how much these 2 goof balls have grown up since last year! They're so much fun and always super cooperative for pictures! We had a great time getting some fall pictures and playing around in the leaves. Okay okay, a HUGE share but I just couldn't decide! It's not often I get kids who are so darn cooperative and will look at the camera at the same time! lol

Sweet Aiden Kyle w/Molly & Daisy too!

Aiden's Mommy & Daddy are very good friends of mine. His honey & papa, Kathy & Charlie, are the greatest 2nd set of parents I could have ever asked for! I can't believe how much Aiden has grown since last years pumpkin patch pictures! He is too cute for words! Kathy asked if she could bring Molly & Daisy (her furry children) along too to get some shots of them. I don't discriminate against any species of clients so I said sure! lol Too cute!




and here are Molly & Daisy! Some seriously spoiled pooches! Cute aren't they? :)



Fall fun with lil' miss Camryn.

I was really excited to see little missy Camryn and her parents again for her fall session. We did 2 actually, 1 at the pumpkin patch in her costume and then a few days later at home in a cute little fall preppy dress. She's so cute and so full of personality! Looking forward to finally getting mommy & daddy in some shots for their Christmas cards next week too! Isn't she a doll!??! Enjoy!
