The New Year's Special is here...a little early!!!!!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!

Okay...I lied...I am posting this special about 45 minutes earlier than normal. What can I say...I am tired and I am getting old...just can't make it to midnight anymore...and my pillow is looking really good right now! (-:

It's almost 2009 and WOW...OMG...2008 just flew by. This past year has been such a blessing...I watched my dreams come true as I opened my doors in April to a larger studio. I have been blessed with a business that continues to grow leaps and bounds...and there are days that I just can't believe I am living out my dream. Every year on New Year's Eve I post a special ....it is my way of starting the year off by giving everyone an opportunity to have the pictures they have always dreamed about! Usually, I post one special on the blog. I know how hard times are for people right now...so I have decided to post three specials that you can choose from. Here they are!

Special #1
1/2 off your session and a 16x20 mounted with a linen finish at no charge when you order any of our collections. (Session fee must be paid when you schedule your session - order must be placed to receive 16x20 at no charge - Session can be studio or on-location) This was last year's special and everyone loved it so much I have decided to run it again.

Special #2
Your $65 studio session fee will be applied when you place an order for any of our collections. (Session fee must be paid when you schedule your session but will be credited to your account when you place your order - this special is for studio sessions only)

Special #3
1/2 off your session and a Sterling Silver Kayda Portrait Necklace at no charge when you order any of our collections. (Session fee must be paid when you schedule your session - order must be placed to receive necklace at no charge - Session can be studio or on-location)

These specials are for the first 15 people that call and schedule their session for January, February or March!!!! YES - you can pick anytime during the next three months to have your session - HOW AWESOME IS THAT!!!!! You MUST speak with me on the phone...email does not count! I will begin taking calls to the studio 770-466-8845 at 9:00 am and end at 5:00 pm Thursday January 1st. If I am on the phone scheduling another client I will take down your number in the order it was received and call you back to schedule. These specials cannot be combined with any other discount, coupon or special.


Good Luck and even if you are not one of the first 15....don't give up!!! Anyone scheduling a session on January first by 5 pm will recieve 1/2 off their session!!!!!

Are those sleigh bells I hear?????

As I write this we are two days away from Christmas Eve you can feel the excitement in the air! My kids are BOUNCING...no scratch that LEAPING off the the floor with anticipation for that magical morning to arrive. I myself am a BIG kid at heart and if you want to know a secret...I am usually up at about 5 am because I can't sleep either! It is a lifelong problem from birth...it is just the way I was designed! I am either on a huge high or a very low low! That is okay with me - who wants to go through life level headed and mature anyway!

I have been receiving A LOT of inquiries about the New Years Eve special and if it is any indication I think my phone might be ringing off the hook before 9am! LOVE it!!! That just means I get to keep doing what I love! Who could ask for a better Christmas present!

I wish all of you a wonderful beautiful Christmas ....a time with your kids, families and Jesus...he is everything and deserves so much more from us on this incredible day. I tried to explain it best to my son on how he might feel if on his birthday everyone else received a gift but him....he looked at me with complete and utter disgust...and replied "I would be so sad Mommy"...I told him I am sure when we wake up, race to the tree, jump up and down for what Santa brought and then race to tear open a million presents...Jesus must feel a little left out. Take time to reflect with your family this Christmas morning on what it is all about. Jesus is so much more than that little statue of a baby lying in your nativity set on your mantle.

Oh yes - and what would this blog be without a few pictures from a recent session!

Santa....I KNOW HIM!!!!!!!!

Yeah!!!!...Christmas is here, time has FLOWN by and I it has already been a month since my last blog entry! Between portrait orders, Christmas cards and a bad case of the flu/cold going on three weeks....I have neglected my blog! I am so sorry!!!! It has been an incredible, amazing holiday season...my clients, all of you, die hards and newbies...you have just won my heart over!!! Thank you for letting me be a part of your Christmas!

Just wanted to hit on a few dates:

Sat. December 13 - Last day to order portraits and Christmas cards for delivery before Christmas - NO EXCEPTIONS TO THIS RULE!!!!!!

Mon. December 22 - Last day to pick up orders before Christmas

The studio will be closed from December 23 - December 26. We will re-open on December 27th.

DONT FORGET!!!! The New Year Eve special (which some of you wait all year for!) will be posted here on the blog and emailed out on New Years Eve at 11:30 pm. This special will be available for the first 10 people to contact me and book their session beginning January 1st (The session can be anytime between Jan - March)! Yes - I will answer the phone on New Years day! Keep watching!

Let me leave you with a few images from this weeks sessions.
