The Homrich Beauties! -Part Two

So these lovely ladies are a part of the Homrich Family.  I know this family from my old church and was thrilled to get the call that they'd like some family pictures!  Their stair-step little girlies are just gorgeous and I am thrilled with their session results!  Their parents are going to need a shotgun at the front door to keep the boys away when they get older!!  I'm behind on getting this post up, so Mom has already seen the gallery and was so excited at the outcome!  Music to my ears...

Baby Landon...1

Baby Landon...2

This is one sweet little baby... Landon was born 3 weeks ago to Holly & Chris.  It was so fun to come back and see him... he's a strong little guy... he pushed himself up and over onto his side when he was on his tummy.  We were all really impressed!  Mom & Dad stumbled onto what seemed to be a serious trick.... the hair dryer!!!!  Landon got a little fussy and they plugged in the hair dryer right next to where we were shooting and he was happy and content as could be!  I had heard of this, but never realized how well it worked!  I'm going to have to start carrying one with me in the "bag o' tricks" when I do newborn sessions!!!  A typical newborn session can be very quick.. like this one (maybe 40 minutes) or reaaaaally long (3 hours) due to stopping and starting (mostly because of very hungry tummies or just a case of the fussies!)  These are all things that I go in expecting, of course, but it was great to learn a new possible source of calming down my subjects!!?  We'll see, perhaps it's just a Landon thing?! :)

We shot again in this couple's bedroom... they have these great french doors that get some very nice soft light... I loved how the images turned out with the great backlight... it was like the light was just behind them... hugging them... it was a really nice effect.  I also shot some of Holly's pregnancy shots in front of these doors... and they actually turned out to be some of my favorites from her session.  If you'd like to see, look back to the month of September!

Holiday 2008!!

Holiday 2008!!

Well, it's a miracle I got these examples finished and uploaded so that you can actually SEE that I offer these holiday cards!!!?  My goal time was about 2 months ago, but I've been just trying to keep my head above water... so.. better late than never?!

I think these "Distressed Victorian" templates are gorgeous, and I had to have them the minute I saw them.  I will be offering these as an add on to booked packages for a special discounted rate, but will gladly design a card with an image that you send me too!  On most of the cards, I am able to customize the text to whatever holiday you celebrate or keep it general too.  

Please inquire as to the pricing... the more you order, the greater the discount I can give!  (..and my logo will not be on your card!!)  If you like these, check back in another month or so, as I'll be adding a gorgeous line of Monogram Announcement/Invite Cards.... they are beautiful and will be an elegant fit for many occasions.

To see the full line of cards, visit my website and click "Holiday," then click the card gallery.  These are my favorites just to give you a taste!  Have a wonderful holiday season...
