THE VALENTINE'S DAY MINIs!









We have our first mini-session date!  Please note, not all mini-sessions will be a good fit for all clients, but we plan to have lots of different minis for you all to choose from.  Our inaugural mini-session is for Valentine's Day (obviously), and we're set for Sunday, January 25th, 2009.  It's a great idea for unique Valentines to hand out at pre-school, or maybe a gift for Grandma or Daddy!  Here's the breakdown on rates and stuff (please remember sales tax):

Mini-Session-Fee:  $75  
One digital file:       $50 (I can point you in the right direction for having Valentines printed)
CD of the whole mini:  $150 

Our session will last about 10-15 minutes, and we'll schedule one every 30 minutes (from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.) to ensure we're not rushed.  There will be no clothing or background changes.  You'll see around 10 finished photos from the session.  This little series of my son, Chuck, took about 3 minutes!  Some of the kids are going to cry; that's a given.  I think it will make for great photos either way.  You should bring your own lipstick (obviously not extended-wear).  We were able to remove this lipstick with some make-up remover towelettes, which we'll provide.  Mom should probably not wear clothing that shouldn't be stained with lipstick.  We can definitely get a shot or two with mom kissing the babe.

You gotta accessorize.






This is a little boy that recently came to see me for the second time.  He loves his accessories!  Yay!!

twinkies with big sis













two twin baby girls (so NOT identical) and their gorgeous big sister came to see me for photos.  talk about your snappy dressers....  that coat is a photographer's dream!

baby taco






This little guy's parents called him "taco" in utero, having chosen not to be informed of his gender.  Love it.

long time no see











This gorgeous little girl moved away, but I still get to see her once a year.  I love the look on her face as she scopes out the pregnant belly, like "and just who do you think you are?"  Heeehee.

newbie







sweet, tiny little baby girl...  that peed and pooed all over everything!  even her daddy.  it's okay.  her parents can tell her boyfriends all about it when she's 16, and totally freak her out.  LOVE the tiny, hilarious tiara.  like my Santa suit?  awww yeah, I'll have it next year, too!

big sister, little brother









some super-cute kiddos.  the last photo is of big sister spontaneously signing "love" for her little brother.  sweet as sugar!
