WEBSITE NEARING LAUNCH

Good news! Our website is nearing completion and it is hoped will be launched soon so that you can see even better examples of our work and get answers to your questions quickly and efficiently. First and foremost we want it clear that we believe capturing your memories is the most important thing we can do for you and we will do it at a price you can afford! High quality photography doesn't have to be expensive. If you would like to preview some of our work in person, email us at thanksforkids@aol.com and we'll be glad to come to your location to showcase our work. In the meantime, keep watch for the launch of that website and have a blessed day!

Importance of Photos

Pictures are worth a thousand words. We have all heard that many times. Pictures are also worth many memories. It seems so easy to remember the baby faces of our children but all too soon they are grown and gone and the memories of their faces tend to fade into our already full brains; we have weddings and people ask after the fact what our dresses looked like, what type of cake topper we had, what color the decorations were; parents age; teens graduate and on and on go the opportunities to document our lives and save them not only for our own memories but also supplying the opportunity for future generations to get a glimpse into our lives. A photographer can save your moments to be enjoyed for years to come. Engagement and wedding photos can reflect who you are as a couple, document that skinned up nose on a little fella, eternally capture her ballerina stage and much, much more. We would love to have a part in creating your everlasting memories! Email us at thanksforkids@aol.com to set up an appointment for whatever your needs are! We will come to you and our time is YOUR time during your shoot. No rushing, no limit on outfit changes, etc. Blessings to you all!

ANOTHER UPDATE ON BRIDAL/ENGAGEMENT/WEDDING SITTINGS

One more update on the above mentioned sittings. I have had a very good response to my request for doing portfolio shots for engagements, bridal and wedding portraits. I have confirmed bookings for both the bridal and engagement sittings so those are no longer available but if you are interested in either of those at regular rates, please feel free to contact me by email at thanksforkids@aol.com and I will quote you my regular, reasonable rates. As for the wedding booking, I have been in talks with one couple who have as of yet to confirm a contract meeting so if you are still interested in that, I will still make it available to the first couple I actually confirm by contract with. Blessings to everyone and congratulations on your upcoming weddings and recent engagements. It is my privilege and pleasure to be a part of capturing your everlasting memories. I pray you will have a long and happy union together.

Update on wedding/engagement/bridal sittings

Update on the sittings offers...the wedding portrait session may be pending but if you are interested please contact me anyway. I may decide to allow more than one at this price. If you are interested in wedding photography for next year, please contact me as soon as possible. Bookings are starting to come in already for February and April. I'm excited to share in your special day and appreciate the opportunity to capture the wonderful emotion that goes into that day so you will have those memories for a lifetime.

First Large Group Shoot

I had my first large group shoot this past weekend. I think it went pretty well. Thanks to the Lightle family and their extended family for allowing me to photograph them.

Engagement Couple/Bride/Wedding Party Wanted

As we near the end of the year and look forward to a new beginning in a New Year, it makes us think of weddings. I am looking for three different types of people to be offered a VERY special price on their photos. First I am looking for a couple who need engagement photos done, second a bride to be needing a bridal portrait done and third a couple who will be getting married and need a photographer. The engagement photo package will be $45 for the session, all pictures on CD that you can print from, a DVD set to music, and a 5 x 7 portrait. The bridal sitting will include the session, all pictures on CD that you can print from and (2) 5 x 7 portraits for $50. The wedding session will include a full day of photography for your special day from beginning to end. This will include any and all locations you choose, whatever events you choose (such as the bride getting ready at hair appointment, getting dressed, attendants before the wedding, same for groom, the wedding, the formal portraits sessions and the reception from beginning to end). You choose, we'll provide. This will also include all photos on CD which you may print from and (2) 8 x 10 portraits plus a very special surprise. The cost for this session will be $210. These openings are for these three sessions only and once they are filled, they will no longer be available. If you are interested in being considered for one of these special packages, please email your name, which session you are interested in and the date you are considering for the session to thanksforkids@aol.com no later than January 25, 2009.

Wrapping Up Holiday Shoots

Well we are down to the last couple holiday shoots! It has been such a great experience already this year and I continue to learn more and more about great ways to capture your memories affordably. The selective coloring has become a very popular item with my customers as well as a new mirage effect we can do on certain pictures. Below are some shots from a couple of the recent shoots. Thanks to the Harding family for the opportunity to do their shoot this past weekend. We are now taking bookings for our "Swing Into Spring" sessions which will take place in March. These sessions will include either a plain or spring background and your choice of a swing prop...either the wooden log swing, a white wicker swing or one other type to be determined. Book your session now before they fill up!
