It’s time! Probably past time for some of you. I did them earlier in the year the last two years, but I want to do outside pictures again, this year. Two years ago when we did that, it was freezing out! I remember one little lady, was covered in goose bumps that I could see when I zoomed in close on her shots. Poor thing. You’d never guess it by the look on her face! So, last year, I did them inside. That was fine. Worked well. But I’d like to get back outside again. However, I understand some of you prefer the studio look, so I’m going to do both! I will offer two shoot days. One will be for indoor studio shots and the other will be outside.

Outside pictures will be taken at Crystal Lake at the boathouse. I took my family’s fall pictures there last October and loved how they turned out, so that’s where we’ll go. Here are some samples of those portraits.

If you prefer that studio look, and many people do and that’s fine, here are some samples of what you can hope to see of your student. At this time, I have white, brown, gray and black background available. You’ll have to choose ahead of time, so be sure to take a good look to help you decide.

And just because he’s so stinkin’ cute (yes, I admit, I may be a little bit biased), I had to include this picture of my Ian. He walked in just as I finished doing a quick shot of Hannah so you could see a brown sample. He’d just gotten up from his nap, but wanted me to take his picture. So I did.

Now that you’ve read through all my jabber, and had a good look at my sweetie, here are the important details. Portraits dates will be May 6th and 7th. The 6th will be the outside sessions and the 7th will be the studio sessions. After I get an idea of how many people want which type of session, I will announce times. You’ll get those by email.

If you are interested in having spring portraits done of your home schooled child, and their siblings, fill out the form below and I’ll get you added to the schedule. If you are not a home school family but are interested in something like this, let me know and I’ll add you to my mailing list and let you know when I’m doing mini-sessions that will include you.

So, three of my kiddos started back to school today, and Monday my little kindergartener will start. That’s a lot of new friends to keep track of! While this doesn’t help ME keep track of THEIR new friends, I thought I would do what I could to help the other moms out because they are probably going to be in a similar situation – well, maybe not with quite so many school aged children of their own. Anyway, I’ve toyed around with the idea of offering “411 Cards.” These are cards with all your contact information. Kind of like a business card, only way cuter. After all, they include your little one’s adorable faces. So, I threw together a couple of samples. The first is the actual card I made for my middle schooler. And the others are from a recent family session I did.

My totally cute, growing up too fast middle schooler, Hannah.

From the family session. Also a very cute girl.

While I was putting these together, I thought how cool it would be for Mom to have her own cards. You know the scenario. You go to a new play group, meet a couple of really great moms that you click with and want to be able to meet up again. Well, if you are anything like me, remembering names and putting the mom face with the right kid faces can be a challenge. The “Momformation” card makes it a breeze!

To make these cards quick and easy to get, I’m now scheduling mini-sessions just for this purpose. You will get one 30 minute session with 8 proofs to choose from and fifty 411 cards. for $100. You will also be able to order my special “mini-session only” mini-collection. Call now! Slots fill up quickly!
