Family Time

As the Holiday season draws closer, families are beginning to make plans for celebrating the festivities together. Thanksgiving time has been always been popular for having group portraits done in the studio. Christmas is the following month, making cards and portraits wonderful family gifts. Gift certificates are also a great idea; we do several sessions around the Christmas and New Year holidays when families are together as well. It's a wonderful time of year to update your family portraits and capture the warm memories of the season!

Frigid Fall!

It has been a very cool fall so far! Rain, snow and wind have impacted the amount of fall sessions we've completed this year. Luckily there are still beautiful colors on the trees around the area. We feel optimistic that the precipitation will slow and we'll be able to get outdoors. We have rearranged the schedule to accomodate sessions that have been rained (or snowed) out and feel confident that high school seniors and families will have the chance for a beautiful fall background in their portraits.

Boudoir

We are excited to introduce our new boudoir sessions! Most will be done during the evening when we are closed to walk-in clients. We offer individual sessions as well as small groups. Our parties offer special discounts for the hostess who may invite 4-10 guests. Each guest's session may be photographed privately and all previews are viewed from your own home. The parties are a wonderful idea for a girl's night out! The hostess may bring beverages an hors d'oeuvres and our staff will serve the party. Style of photography is up to each client; we want you to feel comfortable, have a great experience and have finished images that reflect the essence of your beauty.

Team Effort

During one of our recent senior sessions, we both had the opportunity to photograph the same client. She came in two seperate days for portraits, and had a different photographer each time. We were thrilled with the variety of poses and ideas we were able to offer the senior. She was also happy to have the two different experiences and styles. We hope to collaborate on more sessions in the future; it was a great situation for all involved!

Dress Up

Special occasions and holidays go by so quickly. Many times a special outfit or dress is involved with the festivities. When the party is over, what happens to the exquisite clothing involved? Many times it's packed away, handed down or sold to someone else. Why not document the occasion with photographs?

Your Stuff

With senior photos in full-swing, we're doing a lot of "your stuff" sessions. These are a great way to capture the sports or hobbies you are into. Seniors are invited to bring in sports equipment, books, musical instruments, pets, hunting gear, dance costumes, vehicles, etc. We can combine all your interests in one session or focus on just one or two. Either way, it's a great way to capture the things that are important to you!

New Greeting Cards!

It seems early, but families will soon be coming in to order their holiday greeting cards from the portraits we have created over the past year. We are excited to have some new designs to offer! A talented graphic artist (and friend), Christa McDermott, has created a book of wonderful cards for the upcoming season. It may take two weeks to receive your order; cards should be ordered by early December to get them sent out by Christmas.
