FYI - the website
March 30, 2009 | Filed Under Biz Anncts | Leave a Comment
Just in case you happen to be browsing along on the website. Please don’t panic if everything disappears for a moment. I’m working on updating the galleries and in order to do so I deleted the contents and I’m uploading again. It seems to work better that way. But for about a half an hour there are no images in the galleries! ACK! So if you go and it is blank - check back in a few.
And to my loyal website watchers. If you happen to see any images that are going off the ends of the page, looking weird or just not quite right please let me know. I’m having some sizing issues with the images with the new site lately.
THANKS!
PS - yes, I know I’ve been MIA from the blog. Been working on some ideas and things. I’ll share them all with you in our April newsletter. If you are not signed up click here Our Spring Specials will be listed and available to our newsletter subscribers as well as Portraits in the PARK!

Sessions must be booked and retainer must be paid by 10PM this evening (if it’s late we’ll take care of things via our secure online servicel) and your session must take place before May 1, 2009.

A different sneak peek
March 16, 2009 | Filed Under Misc | 6 Comments
During our session with this little guy - well, lets just say he was a mover and a shaker - I had this idea. I’ve done it before and not because I tell these kids too but because they just do it themselves. Put them on the floor and they spin in circles, look at you upside down and backwards. So I knew as soon as this little guy started the typical 3 year old routine that I would want to create a storyboard of the images that HE created for me. So instead of our typical sneak peek, I am going to share with you the storyboard that I created using some images from this little guys session. Storyboards are a wonderful way to showcase your favorites from your session!


Newborn baby - oh so sweet
March 12, 2009 | Filed Under Misc | 4 Comments
Newborn babies are by far my most favorite to photograph. Yes the sessions take much longer, yes I end up doing a lot of laundry, yes it’s trying at times to get them to stay asleep in different positions. But in the end it is all worth it! Just something about that new little life.
So I share this new little life. Mom’s 4th little one. Just amazing each and every time, isn’t it mom?


and my new favorite…


Check on the website!

Well, I loved the website we did last month. I had a great time with the scavenger hunt and it seemed like things were all good. Unfortunately I’ve had too many people email or call to let me know that my site was not working. While it was working, it seems it was just difficult for people to find the “MENU” link to navigate through the site and find the information they were looking for (and to see all the images). So I went back to the drawing board and we now have a new site… again… Really, it’s VERY close to the old new one (catch that?) but the menu stays up at all times so it cannot be missed. Go take a peek and let me know what you think. Leave a comment on THIS thread ON the blog and I’ll enter your name into a drawing to win a free 11×14 portrait at your next full studio session!!! Must leave a comment by Friday March 13th (ooo.. Friday the 13th) Winner will be drawn at random from the entries and posted here. YAY! Be sure to tell your friends to come leave comments too!
