After a relaxing vacation in Missouri with some friends, it’s back to the grind today. I am going to do my best to get caught up on voice mail and email (if you are waiting to hear from me, I promise I am working on it). I’m also going to try to iron out my Fall calendar this week. If you are considering a Fall session (or have mentioned it in passing to me), I already have an extensive waiting list, but now is definitely the time to let me know you are interested. Just send a quick note through the contact form on my website.

I’m going to leave this post at the top for a while, but scroll down for new sneak peeks! I should have lots to post this week!

I am so excited to FINALLY announce the details of my 2008 Holiday Mini Sessions. Last year, mini sessions were one of most popular offerings and I am excited to offer them again this year. Mini sessions are a great way to get a feel of what my regular sessions are like or just to get a few images in between your regular sessions.  They are primarily designed for clients interested in images for their Christmas cards. And they are especially great for the husband who would rather not sit through a 2 hour shoot.

I’ve also been working hard this week to finalize the designs for my 2008 Christmas cards and I am finally finished! There is a link at the top of the blog with all of the new designs! Hopefully these will get you excited about mini sessions too!

Here’s what this year’s mini sessions will include:

• A 30 minute session
• An online gallery of 10 images
• A cd containing all 10 images (printable up to 8 x 10) – this is a first for me!
• 10 - 5 x7 prints (one of each pose in either color or black and white)
• 30% off enlargements (excluding storyboards and other speciality items)
• 50- 5×7 flat Christmas Cards (you may substitue 25 folded cards or 50 4×6 prints of the same pose)

Here’s the list of available times and locations (I will mark through the times when they are reserved)

Ok, first I wanted to give a quick scheduling update for this Fall. Sounds crazy to be thinking about fall already, but I have decided to do things a bit differently this year and wanted to give you a heads up.   ALL shoots scheduled this fall (with the exception of newborns), will be mini-sessions that will include your digital files (a first for me!) and some Christmas cards! I am so excited about this and can’t wait to share the details. Keep watching here, and I will have more information soon (probably the middle of August) as well as a list of available time slots.  The mini sessions will be in Sept, Oct, and possibly early November. I won’t be scheduling sessions in December (with the exception of maybe one or 2 newborns), so if you are hoping for Christmas cards, make sure and watch for the mini-session information.

As far as the rest of the summer goes, I am completely booked for July and August with the exception of the newborns I am waiting on (and a few of you that have already contacted me and we are still working out the details, so don’t panic if that’s you).  So if you are hoping to get a session before the end of the year, please make sure and watch for the Fall session times!

And just because every post deserves a picture, I just loved these 2 that I snapped tonight of our 2 year old. 

Love her tiny feet in my shoes and the band-aid totally makes this for me…..

And then she kicked off the shoes to show me this crazy upside down pose…. Sigh, I just love her to pieces.
