End of the Year !

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas with family and friends! I know I did, this past week has been full of my beautiful daughters and one of my exchange daughters for the holidays! I received a scroll saw for Christmas so that I can begin making my own frames! I am super excited about this!
On another note, with the New Year happening this week and a New Year beginning, I have some awesome new offers and studio happenings to report! After the hussle and bustle of the season winds down, I will be announcing the portrait specials in store for this year, and its a busy one! They include our first annual "We're Bored" campaign, Valentine's Day card specials, Little Rascals sessions, Ballerina Sessions, and the upcoming Winter White Sale! So keep checking back!
Also, I'm heading to Nashville for a few days in January, for some education, a session with a new friend, and meeting some of my Facebook friends for the first time face to face. I'm really excited about what I'm bringing back from this conference!
Check out the fanclub on Facebook for daily updates for the studio too!

New Year, New Ideas

I am offering a sweet deal in January, I have a limited number of sessions dedicated to 'Pin ups'. This vintage style of posing will melt any man's heart. The session is discreet, tasteful, and there are a variety of 'gifts' for you to make for your man! The investment for these sessions is $100 and include the session fee, one 8 x10 of your choice, and one of the following choices: a deck of playing cards, calendar, license plate, or dry erase board, all with your choice of pin up portraits from our session! Please call for available dates as soon as possible. There is a January 23, 2009 cut off for the sessions. Let have fun with this ladies!

Latest Family pics of girls!

Recently my oldest came home from college and our household was graced with one of my former exchange students from Japan, Meg. We try and do yearly portraits of the girls, so everyone can see them grow. Here are the results of the last day of Sami's stay!

This picture was their idea, in that they are fasinated with the movie Twilight. Although we didn't have the hot vampires to be in the pic with them, we did our best!
