Overwhelmed!.....

With all the beach session requests. Thanks to all of you for your interest in Destin and Orange Beach for summer sessions. If you have booked a time slot, your $50 deposit will be due by March 31st. I will send reminders later.

BEACH DATES!!!!! (spaces are extremely limited)

We will be in Destin June 20 - 27th. I will take two clients each day. One early morning session (7am) and one late afternoon session (7pm). The late sessions will fill up QUICKLY! Please email me asap if you would like a slot. A $50 deposit will be required to hold your time slot. The remaining balance ($150) will be due on the day of your session. The total session fee ($200) includes a cd of all proofs in color and black and white along with a spiral bound proof book.

I will also be in Orange Beach Aug 1st - Aug 5th. Same as above - will take one morning and one evening each day.

SPRING MINI SESSIONS!

Sunday March 7th - Reunion Subdivision in Madison

Saturday March 13th - "Day in the Country" (Off Hwy 18 near Fletcher Road - Brandon)

Saturday April 10th - "Day in the Country" 2 (Off Hwy 18 near Fletcher Road - Brandon)

SPECIAL NOTE - I am NOT doing bunny pictures this year. All spring mini sessions will be pretty outside sessions with lots of greenery and grass. Old chairs and other simple props may be used. You are WELCOME to bring easter baskets and dress children in Easter clothes. Days in the Country will be a lot of fun and we will have access to an old barn/shed and a really cool old white house with a big front porch along with a lake/pond area. There will hopefully be lots of wildflowers as well. Sessions will be 30 minutes long and will be $50/each.

Ok, let the voting begin!!!

I know that I've forgotten some people so, please just shoot me an email or message and I'll add you. It wasn't easy getting it all organized and sorted. I had nominations coming in from several different portals and that gets confusing. You have until the end of the month to vote and I'm not sure how many times you can vote...can someone share?? I might can change a setting if it would be more fun a different way. Let me know, I don't want to vote and throw anything off. Wouldn't be fair!! :)

Traci Patrick won the free session contest this morning!! Congrats!!!!

Also, if you're late getting in on the Best OF contest, you can still nominate pictures from 2009. Just email me with your faves. I did have to narrow down some people. I tried to give everyone a few but not go overboard with any one family. :)

Have fun and let me know if there's any problems. This is new for me so it's still a work in progress. Oh and I think you need to share the blog with friends and family so that you'll get the most votes and win!!! Just a thought.........

(EDIT) ok, so once the voting begins, i can't add more options to the poll so here's the deal, if i have forgotten you or you would like to add a picture to the contest i am creating one last category, it will be called "the forgotten" category or "leftovers" or something like that but it will be CLOSED for good on February 5th so email me and let me know what i messed up so i can get it all ready to post on Friday.
