ALL of our family photography is going to take place in minisessions this year….Why?  Because I’m so busy shooting so much in the same places and after you show your friends their photos they want me to head over there with them.  I also had to turn away a lot of clients last year because I just got so busy.  In an attempt to plan ahead minisessions will be less expensive than my regular sessions, shorter in their duration (your kids and husband have a limit anyway).  It will also allow me to announce where I’m going.  When the session you’re looking for comes up you can easily and affordably get in.

$50 is required to hold your appointment but good news….when you place your order it’s considered a credit.  How sweet is that?

What do I wear??  For this session, all white.  It’s very simple and beautiful.  I love the look with jeans and a hat that you’ll see on Mandy.  Keeping it simple is key. Pastels would be gorgeous, pj’s might be adorable to.  Keep the look soft.

I’ve had a few people ask..”Can we pop outside for a few if the weather is nice?”  This session is going to be all indoors but I will be offering other minisessions that will be outdoors in a park, a barn, a field, downtown GR in both city and urban and 2 times we’ll head to the beach.   Contact me earlier than later if one of those sessions appeals to you.

So I love black Friday and cyber Monday as much as all of you, who doesn’t want a great deal?  I’ve had a fantastic year this year and to show my appreciation I’m doing something I have never done and that’s offer a gift certificate special. I’m offering 4 gift certificate options for 2012 sessions from now until 11:59pm on 11/28/11.  Each certificate is discounted $50!

If you’ve been neglecting getting your family photo done or you know someone who is having a baby, this is a gift you or your loved one will absolutely love, long after your iPad2 has passed.  I recently read a post on why people put off getting their family photo done, 2 reasons….1.) the same old excuse….I don’t like how I look, I hate my hair, I need to lose weight….2.) $$$.   Let me address both of those…I love every photo I have of my parents as well as my husband’s family.  I’ve asked a few people recently…”Do you ever look at your family photos and say…I would love this photo if only my mom was a little thinner or her hair styled differently?”…Isn’t that ridiculous? of course not!!  ….Secondly, my clients who have said to me….”when we first getting our kids photographed it seemed expensive and we weren’t sure we wanted to do it, as our kids have grown we look back and are so happy we made this investment, they grew up so fast, we can’t imagine not having our photos.  They’re memories we can’t afford to live without”. A to the MEN!

It’s time people!! Commit to having fabulous photos in 2012! Gift certificate are available for purchase until 12/17/11 but only on sale until 11:59pm on 11/28/11.
