I got so many comments last year when I did these special edition sessions so I'm bringing back the Princess Portraits! And this year, since I felt bad leaving out the fellas, I'm adding in Little Heroes!
These are brief sessions (15 min long) with one child ONLY! And reasonably priced at only $39 per session. Print packages start at $99.
Children must be dressed according to the theme. For the ladies, I have a big assortment of pettiskirts and tutus so you are welcome to use mine or bring your own. For the boys, I am working on finding some superhero capes for you to borrow. By all means bring your own. Other ideas for the boys would be police, firefighter, doc, or even dad's clothes to emulate his own personal hero.
Sessions will be on Saturday, February 18, 2012 starting at 10:00 am. These are by appointment ONLY so call to book your spot. All sessions will be at my natural light studio in Burnsville.
These book up fast so make sure you get in on this special edition session opportunity!
As a thank you to all my clients I'm doing a New Year Sale with 25% off everything. If you had a session this past year, I've reactivated your gallery so all you have to do is log on and check out using the coupon code: enjoy25
Reprints that you maybe forgot or maybe you were waiting to do that wall portrait...now is the time! I rarely run this big of a sale.
And if you are planning a session in the next couple of months, book now and apply the coupon to the session fee. Super deal!
Contact me if you have any questions! But hurry - it's only good until Friday, January 13, 2012 (hey that's Friday the 13th...can't be an unlucky day with such a good deal!)
I saw a recent ad campaign to think small when it comes to holiday shopping -- meaning shop small businesses. Love that idea! So along those lines...how about shopping small and giving small. These dainty little baubles will delight anyone on your list!
I'm really happy to be introducing a new line of photo jewelry for the holidays. I have a couple of necklaces now and I love them! Great quality and super cute!
Check out the catalogs -- there's something for everyone's budget. E-mail me directly for specific prices (I can't alter the electronic catalog).
DEADLINE for holiday orders is SATURDAY DECEMBER 3. Any orders after this date will have to pay rush fees and after Dec 10 will not be guarenteed.
Six sessions over the past 4 days...criss-crossing Minneapolis and St. Paul with gorgeous weather, fall leaves, urban and rural settings and fantastic families. Whew! I'm beat! Enjoy this sneak peek and thank you for sharing your weeknd with me!
Like so many of you, I too have upgraded to the new iPhone (very excited btw) but I loved my old iPhone case! It had photos of my boys on it. See it here and here.
The case is from Get Uncommon - a hard capsule case. You can order one of their amazing designs or even better, upload your own photo or design and taaa-daaa, awesome custom case.
I know for many of you do do your own design might be daunting - impossible if you don't have the right software even. So...I will design it for you. :) I've created a template with 1,2 or 3 images and a variety of backgrounds.
I will send you the flattened, jpg file sized to fit your iPhone 4 or 4s (also available the 3 or iTouch too). You can then upload it to the Get Uncommon site and order your own case.
I can use portraits I've taken for you or your own images (but they need to be sent to me in jpg format). And the best part is....It's ONLY $12
Choose from 1, 2 or 3 photos and from 23 different backgrounds.
Here's what you'll receive as a final product (e-mailed to you). You then upload it on the Get Uncommon website and place your own order.
Due to the custom nature of this product no returns or refunds. I will however work with you to make sure your images look the way you want.
After you place your order, we'll trade e-mails to decide which photos to use. Easy!
Hope everyone can join me on Saturday, Oct 29 from 11-1 at my studio - bring your little ones in their costumes for a quick portrait. No appt necessary. One child per purchase - only $20 ea!!
A few more from this beautiful weekend.
Sisters! I love their outfits (even though it was unseasonably warm and they were pretty hot by the time we were done!).
And such a great family - we did some fun shots like this...
and this...
The next family was so easy going and fun to work with. I liked their session because we used their yard and incorporated lots of personal touches. I always think that's great to do a session at a client's home.
brotherly love! It's a fine line between a hug and a strangle hold. :)
who can resist throwing some leaves?!
I've spent the last few weekends photographing beautiful families in this beautiful fall weather. I cannot remember a better fall. The leaves have been so vibrant. Enjoy!
Love this shot...the weeds, the expresssions...I chose to show it in black and white because of the emotion of their faces but the colors here were very soft and pretty.
This little guy is such a character - I have more to show of him in another post. But he sure is loved by his parents. And vice versa!
Always a good pose if the smallest in the family is wiggly! :)
Swinging kids always brings out an authentic smile - but sometimes a tricky shot to get. These kids were pros!
And this is by far my favorite sibling shot in a very long time...
More sneak peeks to come. And I still have a few openings for sessions this fall. But contact me soon!
Sometimes a picture really does do the job better than words. And I think these sum up what a spectacular weekend it was...
