The Weather and Southaven Bunny Pics...

Oh my, the weather in Southaven is such a bummer these days.  Can we have just a little sunshine on one of my mini weekends.  I'm making a mental note for next year to schedule Easter/Spring pics in April as opposed to March!

That being said, I still plan on shooting on Sunday at my house.  The address is:

3380 Woodland Trace E
Southaven, MS  38672

The schedule looks like this:

8:20 L. Berryhill
8:40 P. Tatko
9:00 A. White
3:20 K. Latham
3:40 L. Petree
4:00 A. Meadows
4:20 R. Zemen
4:40 S. Bibb
5:00 B. Allen

It is supposed to rain all day tomorrow and be cold and very windy on Sunday.  Sigh.  That definitely presents challenges but I think I've found a corner we can use in the yard that will be cute and we can get to it without the use of a boat.

Now, if you feel that all these things sound awful and you do not want to dress your babies up in their Easter frocks and romp around in the muddy wetness, I UNDERSTAND.  And, there are options.  I can move your shoot to a weekday this week and you can still have bunnies in your pictures (the bunnies are returning to their Jackson home on Good Friday).  I will have some morning and after school times available.  Just text me if this sounds appealing to you.  If bunnies are not something that you HAVE TO HAVE I can move your shoot to the weekend after Easter or even the weekend after that.   Maybe spring will have arrived at that point. 

Thanks to you all for your understanding.  And, please know that my goal is to get the BEST pics possible for you and your family.

New Poll and other stuff {so fun}

Thinking about the summer season that is looming, I want to do some FUN themed mini sessions in Southaven (DeSoto County) and also down in Jackson, Madison, Brandon.  I have added a poll to the right to let you guys vote for your favorite themes.  Can't wait to get some dates for these and start working on the props.

ALSO, for the rest of March and April - if you sign up for a Newborn or Maternity plan you will receive a complimentary 11x14 at the end of your plan!  Share with your friends!  I have a great studio space set up at our house in Southaven now and I'm ready to go big with the babies in DeSoto County!!  :)

Booking Spring and Summer....

I just had a slight anxiety attack looking at the calendar.  My children will be out for Summer break in only 9 weeks.  Where in the world does the time go?  Summer seems to fly by faster and faster every year and then I'm staring the holiday season in the face.....

Easter sessions start this week.  I'm so excited for you to meet the bunnies we have.  They are precious.  Remember that having bunnies in your pictures is optional.  Some children may be scared and some children may be too young to handle the bunnies.  We will try to incorporate them in some way (baskets, carrot feeding, etc.) but please remember that the bunnies are animals and unpredictable and we really just have to go with the flow.  :)  Please try and be at your session about 10 minutes early.  That way we will be sure and stay on schedule.

The address for the Lake Caroline sessions is:

103 Savannah Bend
Madison, MS  39110

link to the map is below...

If you did Santa pics, it's at the same location.  Please TEXT ME if you have problems finding.  601-260-5069.  And, remember it's a little haul out to Lake Caroline if you're coming from Flowood/Brandon.  Be sure and leave in plenty of time.

If you need plan sessions scheduled or if you want a regular family/child session in late spring, PLEASE book that now.  The calendar is already getting quite full and when my kids get out for summer break, it's even crazier.  I plan on doing two early summer mini sessions - Lemonade Stand minis like we did late last summer and also in honor of Leland's 5th birthday, a super hero/princess mini day as well.  I will do these in late May or early June.   Be on the lookout for more information.  ALSO, remember to sign up for beach sessions!  They won't last long.  Remember you can share the session with family members or friends.

HAPPY SPRING BREAK TO ALL!!  I know I'm pumped about no homework for a  few days.......
