New Look!

By the way, I attended a Bellies and Babies last Sunday night in Atlanta. It was incredible! My head was swimming with ideas when I left there - just amazing! The speaker, Sandy Puc (awesome photographer out of Colorado) talked a lot about babies, maternity, baby portrait plans/children portrait plans, etc but she also hit on the importance of a your 'Look" so....I have been working on just that! Business cards, price sheets, flyers, postcards, etc, etc, etc! I am so excited! I will let you know when they are all complete! Check it out...

My dream...

"Ambition is that grit in the soul which creates disenchantment with the ordinary and puts the dare into dreams" - Max Lucado - God Came Near (Day by Day with Jesus).

I have to say, I NEVER in a million years thought that I would be where I am today. Honest...everyday I still wake up in disbelief that I am living out my dream. The quote above...so simply said. SO...now that I am in the midst of my dream I have a new and wonderful problem! NOT ENOUGH SPACE!!! I am so excited to say that...I need more room to grow. I think originally, when I first opened my studio...I really didn't believe it was going to happen - much less take off like it has! I thought - hey , this is plenty of space...I am so happy to be wrong! We have encountered a dilema that only God can make sense of. I started looking for space to rent and was taken back by lease $$. I never wanted to go the route of renting a storefront...I love the feel of a "Home Studio". So now we are in the process of looking at a house with an AWESOME 1100 sq. ft. finished basement that I am hoping will become the new home for Photography by Elena. It is absolutely our dream home - we walked in and it felt like it was built for us...There are so many details to work out and I pray that this is the right thing for our family and my business. It makes so much more sense than trying to add on to our existing home. It is definately more $$ than our current house but I have been so blessed beyond anything I could have ever imagined...I am so excited to see this next chapter unfold! Are YOU with me!!!!! I will keep you posted!

Few of my favorites from this week's sessions.

Can you say "CUTE"!

Meet "Theodore"....my daughter Jordyn has affectionately name the new bunny after you guessed it....a chipmunk! Go figure! Anyway - here he is and he just doesn't look real to me - my Husband keeps saying he looks like a stuffed animal. We picked him up this weekend and we are slowly getting him used to the lights in the studio so he will be ready next month! Session fee is $15 and the packages will range from $29.00-$69.00.



Theodore is a 2 month old "Holland Lop" so he is still small - this should be great with some of the smaller children. He is ADORABLE!!! Very playful and GREAT with kids! He loves to move around so I will have to work fast within each session! Get the picture! I am going to keep the session at about 20 minutes - if you would like to incorporate Easter outfits into this shoot that would be fine too. The dates will be Sunday March 9th 2:30 - 5:30, Monday March 10th 10:00-5:30, Monday March 17th 10:00-5:30. Email or call the studio to schedule your session! To reserve your date/time, the non-refundable session fee must be paid when appointment is scheduled.
