2 Months

September 22, 2008

This adorable baby boy was not exactly a newborn, but at 2 months he still had some of that adorable new baby look to him. He was so good and patient with me at our session. He didn’t do much sleeping — I think he was more interested in checking everything out!

We got his brothers in on part of the session and they were so calm and patient!

Even when things were not so calm. ;)

1 & 4

September 19, 2008

Today I discovered a new favorite spot for photo sessions: Casa Feliz in Winter Park. I had been there before … and was even photographed there as we got married at that location. But, I had not done a session there yet. So, when my client suggested Casa Feliz, I was so excited! From looking at these photos, you’ll think that I have a really easy job. But, just ask Mom (who was wanting a nap at the end of the session!) … kids and dogs really make you work for the good photos. :) :) But, that’s ok … that’s why I like my job so much! I’d also like to say a special thank you to Nana, who came along and was such a great help :)

Enjoy!

Baby Turns One

September 17, 2008

One of my Baby Plan babies turned one last month and between tropical storms and matching calendars, we finally were able to get together to do her last session. We met at Leu Gardens and had a really fun session. Isn’t this family just beautiful??

Just a reminder that I’m now taking reservations for my Holiday Mini Sessions as well as standard sessions during October, November and December. The schedule is quickly fillings, so don’t delay in getting your preferred date and time!

My 2008 holiday card designs are ready. I’m offering 6 traditional designs and 6 contemporary designs.

Holiday cards are 5×7″ press printed, double sided cards that come with white envelopes with postage already on them. (Isn’t that convenient?!)

Cards come in sets of 25 and are $85 per set.

You can customize the cards by choosing photos, text, and number of photos.

Today I’m showcasing the traditional designs. This is 4 of the 6 designs with example photos inserted into them. Stay tuned later this week and next week for examples of the contemporary designs.

I know I promised this information weeks ago, but I’ve finally finalized my 2008 holiday sessions. In order to meet everyone’s needs I have two different session types available:

1. Full Session with Bonus Press Printed Cards

For all full sessions booked in September – November 2008, I’m offering a bonus gift of 50 press printed holiday cards with the purchase of the Millenium II and Park Avenue Collections. Full sessions are the way to go if you are looking for not only holiday cards, but also some gifts to share with family and friends — as well as some amazing family portraits for your walls. Full sessions can take place anywhere in the Central Florida area (I’ve got some great suggestions!) and last anywhere from 60-90 minutes. You are welcome to bring clothing changes, so you can have everyone in the perfect holiday outfit and also take some photos of everyone in non-holiday attire for gifts for yourself and family. (Please note that some locations may not have changing facilities so you need to plan for that.) Full sessions can take place during the week, or the weekend. Full sessions require a $100 deposit to hold your date/time.

2. Mini Sessions

My mini sessions are really popular and perfect if you are looking for a few photos for your 2008 holiday card. Mini sessions last 20 minutes and don’t allow for any clothing changes. You will receive 8-10 proofs to choose from. Mini sessions are only available at specific dates and locations (see below). This year’s mini sessions are $300 and include: 25 press-printed holiday cards OR 1 high resolution digital negative AND $150 in gift print credit at VIP pricing (choose from wallets, 5×7″ and 8×10″). You can also purchase additional prints at VIP pricing. Mini sessions require the full amount to be paid at the time of reserving your date/time. Check and credit card are accepted.

Mini Session Dates & Locations

  • Sunday, October 5th at Dickson Azalea Park in downtown Orlando
  • Saturday, October 18th at Leu Gardens (admission fee required) in Orlando
  • Sunday, October 26th at Loch Haven Park in Orlando

Sessions start at 9am and are available on the half hour.

Don’t Delay in Reserving Your Full Session or Mini Session

Dates in September, October and November tend to book up quickly. I only schedule a limited number of full sessions per day. The mini sessions also book up quickly and I only take a limited number of mini sessions per day. Call me at 407.340.8088 to reserve your preferred date and time.

I haven’t shared a dog session in the blog lately, so I was so excited when this family booked me to photograph their two toy poodles. We had great fun at their session — I just loved each dog’s personality. They could not have been more different — both in color and in personality. One was totally laid back and the other was quite gregarious. :) Enjoy your preview.

Can you tell which one is more laid back and which one is not? :)
