Don't Blink


REUNITED....and it feels so good.

I had a great weekend. I went with my husband to his 10 year high school reunion. It was great to see old friends and see where Jason went to school. It was also my birthday on Saturday. So, it was a busy weekend out of town, but we made some great memories. Isn't that what life's all about - the memories! There are so many negative things going on in the world - sickness, war and just daily life stresses - doesn't having the good times make the living through the bad worth it? We all have bad days and even bad years, but remembering the good times and looking forward to more good times is what keeps us going from day to day. It's the small things in life that get you through the rough times. Praise God for family and friends that give you wonderful memories.

Okay, so that was a little deep for a Tuesday, but this past weekend struck a cord in me that 10 years of being out of high school have already past and before you know it another 10 will be near. So, DON'T BLINK, you might miss something. Spend time with family and friends. Don't take the little things for granted.

ONLINE ORDER PROBLEM and When's Christmas

ONLINE ORDER PROBLEM
IF YOU HAVE PLACED AN ORDER ONLINE USING THE PROOF SYSTEM PLEASE FWD ME YOUR CONFIRMATION. I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT SOME OF THE ORDERS HAVE BEEN SENT TO MY BULK MAIL. THUS BEING DELETED WITHOUT ME SEEING THE ORDER. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN CORRECTED SO ANY ORDERS SENT PRIOR TO SEPT 4TH, PLEASE RESEND JUST TO MAKE SURE I AM NOT MISSING YOUR ORDER. CALL ME IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS.



Christmas?!?! Already?!?!

OK, of course we know that Christmas is in December, but we have to start preparing now for photo Christmas cards. Trust me - in the same boat as you - I don't want to think about Christmas either - it's 90 degrees outside. But, it takes about two weeks to see proofs, then another 2 or 3 weeks to get orders ready. Also the design time to make the custom cards takes additonal time too! By that time it's the first week of December!

Here's my suggestions - 2 options:

Option 1- You can schedule a session here during my "christmas time" Oct 22nd-31st and have some cute shots of your little ones playing with ornaments or reading Twas the Night Before Christmas and have cards made from that session as well. This is most fun with kids under the age of 5 - in my opinion.

Option 2 - Another suggestion is to have a regular session sometime before mid November with your kids or with the whole family and use those shots in your cards or have speciality collage cards made by me. Either one is a great option!

The second option does two things, it's gets the new updated pic of your family that you've been wanting and can be used for cards and gifts. The first option is a more seasonal approach.

See the website under storyboards and cards for card ideas.

Call now to book appointments as they are filling up fast. Only 5 or 6 slots left for "Christmas Sessions" in the studio.
