Animal Crackers in My Soup...

Oh the curls!! This lil' punkin seed puts Shirley Temple to shame! And of course, she came wearing her favorite lil' tank-top with the Japanese doll on the front. Which, BTW, hits close to some childhood memories! I had such fun doing this shoot (and 6 more) on my last days in Rapid (tear). She was slow to warm up, but became quite the little fireball after a few shots were "fired!" I am proud to add Maiya to my portfolio and will be using one of her prints in my gallery in my future-studio! (SIDE NOTE: So of course these pics were taken a million years ago and I'm just now getting the chance to post them two months later at 12:35 am! Such is the life when you have a deployed hubby and two rambunctious boys! Never fear my other Rapid clients, your pics are soon to post!)

Customized Christmas Cards

Here's a couple examples of the work I've been doing for my first attempt at Customized Christmas Cards. If you are interested in these services and have already had a recent photo shoot, please contact me ASAP so I can get started on your card(s)!!

'Tis the Season

Christmas is just a little over TWELVE weeks away!! Hard to believe, right!? (Well, maybe not for those of us who just got 18 inches of snow!) That being said, I'm offering services to do Christmas cards this year. As a starter I've included three sets of templates that can be printed as 4 X 8 Photo Greeting Cards. Below are samples of those templates broken up into three categories: Seasons Greeting, Happy Holidays, and Merry Christmas. These are just template examples and prices start at $25 for a set of 24 cards (including envelopes). I will have more examples of Custom Holiday Cards once some have been completed. If you'd like to order one of these templates, please indicate the template number and proof number you'd like me to use. I can use any proof from a previous shoot, or book your HOLIDAY SESSION today! For price inquiries on these and other cards I offer, please visit the PRICES link in this blog.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS
(NOTE: H4 can be created in RED, PINK, BLUE, GOLD, GREEN, BURGUNDY, & GRAY)



MERRY CHRISTMAS

More for Baby Caleb

Beyond the collage work, I really wanted to post some of my favorite poses from this "newborn" session. I say newborn in quotations because he was just about to out-grow all my newbie props (as you can see from the towel shot :-) He was just too precious for words, and once he was through making his statement, as babies sometimes do, he was the perfect little subject. We even got a few extra shots in so his parents could wait out a hail storm that was passing through. Thanks, Caleb, for being such a good little subject and for having such a beautiful family!

Customized Collage Work

Here's some more examples of custom collage work that I did for a client who loved the baby parts collage and who also wanted a custom announcement designed for them. Both posed quite a challenge for me, as I had to make a few changes to give the clients exactly what they wanted, but I believe the end results turned out amazing! And the processes was a good learning experience and helped me to build client relations! (Some information has been blurred/changed to protect the client's identity.)
