Christmas Card Pricing....2012

Book mark this page! This will be updated continuously throughout the holiday season with answers to questions and inquiries regarding holiday cards. Hopefully I can answer most of them right now!

I will have MANY card design templates available for you to browse through in my card gallery. There is a big selection of cards - hopefully to fit everyone's tastes. For the most part, the colors and text can be changed but the general layout can NOT. If you order a trifold, folded or luxe some minor rearranging will be required at times but the basic flow of the card will be the same. Many times the number of pictures on your card can be adjusted to your needs so just ask about that. Also, every card that I have shown as a sample has a coordinating back for it. I may or may not have posted that coordinating option, but I have them. If you are purchasing a flat paper card, the back will be shown in your gallery with your sample once I put everything together.

You will be able to find the card gallery on Facebook and my website. Many of the designs are new and some will be from past seasons. I will be retiring some designs due to me just being tired of them!! :) Pricing will be as follows:


Sold in sets of 25 cards ~

Large order discounts ~

If you purchase 50 cards you receive a 10% discount on your card purchase ONLY.
If you purchase 75 cards you receive a 15% discount on your card purchase ONLY.
If you purchase 100 cards or more you receive a 20% discount on your card purchase ONLY.
If you purchase 200 cards or more you receive a 30% discount on your card purchase ONLY.


Photo Cards (printed on photo paper - picture only on one side) ~ $40 per set

Flat Paper Cards (printed on textured cardstock - picture on front and back) ~ $65 per set

Folded Paper Card (printed on textured cardstock - pictures on front, back and inside spread) ~ $90 per set

Trifold Paper Card (5x5 trifold on textured cardstock - pictures on front, back, inside and outside spreads) ~ $110 per set

Luxe Paper Cards (shaped cards on textured cardstock - pictures on front and back) ~ $110 per set



Digitals ~ 

Want to do your own card making and print ordering????  Full galleries are available for digital download for $200.  Get your digital order in within 2 weeks of your gallery being posted and receive 10% off. 

Also, don't forget, all mini session orders MUST BE PLACED prior to NOVEMBER 20th in order to get the $25 print credit that is included in your mini session fee.

HOLIDAYS, CONTEST, SANTA & MINIS!!!!!

HAPPY FRIDAY!!!!

Don't forget to share my facebook page with your friends!!  It's so easy and you could win an 11x14 or a free mini session!!  Contest ends Sunday night at midnight!   All they need to do is post under the contest thread that you sent them. 

Santa minis are almost full.  I'm so excited that we've had such a great response for Santa Mike!  I can't wait for you to meet him.  

If you have signed up for a holiday session and have paid for it PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE check the schedule below and make sure your name is where it needs to be.  I try very hard to get it all correct, but sometimes I double book a slot on accident because I'm getting FB messages, texts, emails and phone calls.  It's a little crazy, help a sister out!! :)

If you haven't paid for a slot that you requested, I have, up until tomorrow morning kept it available for you, but because the minis are filling up quickly - especially Canton - I will be giving unpaid sessions to other clients if they are requested.

I'm hoping to get Christmas card samples and information up in the next few weeks and if you're still waiting on beach pics, that's what I'm working on this weekend along with pee wee football and the hub's birthday.  I don't know about you guys but I'm THRILLED that fall is right around the corner.  Gives me chills just thinking about it.  I LOVE this time of the year.

Do the contest!!  Pay for your minis!!!  Be on the look out for card info!!!  AND have a GREAT weekend!!

EASTER MINIS ~ Directions and the WEATHER...

Hey guys! I've had lots of people asking for directions. The minis will be in Laurelwood at the nature area by the lake/pool. If you turn into Laurelwood off of Old Fannin, take the first left onto Olympic Drive and go straight on Olympic until you get to the clubhouse. If you put it in the GPS just put Olympic Drive Flowood, MS and follow it to the end.

The weather is looking less than favorable for the weekend. I'm so nervous that it's going to make things disastrous! Please check Facebook and the blog or text me on Saturday 601-260-5069 if the weather starts looking bad around your time slot. We will NOT shoot if it's raining or storming or if things just get too wet. We will reschedule the minis to the weekend of March 23/24th and to the weekend of March 31st/April 1st.

The bunnies are here and very cute. We have been handling them a lot to get them used to small children. We will have blankets/chairs, etc for the kids to sit on and also some baskets to put the bunnies in in case holding them is not ideal. Please feel free to bring your child's Easter basket if you would like that in the picture or if you would like the bunny to sit in the basket.

I think there are still a few people who have not paid for their sessions. If you are missing an invoice from me, just let me know. We've been out of town and the Easter schedule has gotten out of control since I've been gone.


Thanks guys~!! Can't wait for this weekend....hopefully the weather will be perfect!

~ $325 session fee
~ 1 hour session
~ family and extended family welcome
~ fee includes gallery CD, 11x14 portrait and 4 5x7s.
~ $100 deposit due at signup. Balance due May 31st.


I only do one beach session per day ~ around 7pm so the time slots are extremely limited. I will be posting my Orange Beach dates soon.


Please get with me asap if you are needing a regular spring session. The calendar is already looking crazy and I have lots of you guys on plans and need to make sure there's room for everyone.

Back to work now, if you have a request for me that I'm supposed to be working on, just know that I'm officially in that mode again. Very excited and looking forward to a fun new year!
