2007 Christmas Special!

Christmas Studio Portrait Special!

The dates are Monday, December 3rd through Saturday, December 8th, by appointment only.

This is one of the few times during the year I offer package pricing, and NO SITTING FEE! that's a $95 savings! All of the prints in the packages are 50% off regular studio pricing.

This special is for families, children, teenagers...anyone! So, tell your friends, and call the studio while appointments are still available!

I am offering Christmas cards from these sessions as well. The finished prints will be in before Christmas.

The colors this year are peacock, (blues/lime) with a touch of deep purple/fuscia on a white flocked Christmas tree. The background is a very classic gray / taupe.

Just about any color of clothing will work with this set. One thing to keep in mind though - if you are going to have more than one person in the portrait, make sure that all of the clothing works together. As always, plain is better than patterned when choosing an outfit. It will be less distracting in your portrait.

You can download the package order form here.

Please call or email if you have any questions.

Matt & Cara

It seems my posts are more to update you lately than NEW news!

Matt & Cara...I met them both when they were preschoolers, and here they are in their adulthood.

The wedding was beautiful of course!

They married at the very same church they attended as three and four year olds, Holy Nativity Episcopal.

I had a little flashback as they were up at the altar saying their vows. I remember the little holiday presentations the little ones would perform on that very spot. And here they were today in the grandest of presentations!

I hope you enjoy their slideshow! check it out here!

Isabella's Birthday Party

Many of you have followed the first year of Isabella. She had a tea party for her first birthday celebration!

She was so exhausted from all the excitement, but she loved seeing everyone. She got some pretty cool presents too!


enjoy the slideshow!

Jeniffer & Matt Ward

What a beautiful couple!

I met Jeniffer less than a year ago. She's the kind of person that you instantly love when you meet her. When I met Matt, I could see that both of their hearts were meant to be together!

They make a beautiful family!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ISABELLA!!

Jenise & Brad

Sweet couple!

In a low, hushed tone unmatched by over-the-top excitement, Jenise kept stating, "I'm gonna live with a BOY!"

yes, Jenise, life will be a bit different now!

The girls were so sweet, and the boys were very silly!

oh. and fret not over the cake and flower arrangements...Nemo and his friends went to live with elementary school children after the wedding. you'll see....watch the slideshow!

Cara & Matt

okay, this is almost surreal.

Cara's mother and I were pregnant at the same time. She gave birth a few months before I did, and I would go over to her house and watch little baby Cara in anticipation for my own daughter's birth.

oh. now I'm gonna cry.

anyway, Cara's wedding is coming up in a few months. Matt, her fiance was in 4K with her. Four years old. who knew? Here they are a few decades later.

I hope you enjoy it.

Michael & Cindy Heyer

I feel so very blessed! I meet the nicest people in this line of work, and I am still amazed at how they invite me into such an intimate place in their lives.

We even sat with them and had wedding cake and coke in the glass bottle (yes, there IS a difference!) at the end of the evening.

We had such a great time! Be sure to check out the slideshow!

Here's a few from Saturday night:

I really can't believe she's not already very famous. She has such a sweet, sweet spirit and her voice is just s-o-l-i-d!

These are a few images from our session for her newest CD.

Baby Boy - Daniel

What a cutie! would you believe it if I told you this little guy peed about four times, and ate pretty much the whole session? That's what I love about it...he looks like such an angel!!

He is so beautiful, and this photograph makes me want to pick him up and cuddle him!

Babies rule!!

Susan & Sean

What a beautiful day!! Let me first say that I really love this family and this group of friends. This wasn't my first time with this group at a joyous occasion. I had previously celebrated this bride's sister's wedding, and a family friend's wedding. I love seeing how they've changed, and I especially loved seeing the BABIES!!!

okay, a few images from Saturday's wedding.
