Weekly Holiday Update...

Thanks to everyone who has been contacting me about cards and orders. If you haven't received a response email from me yet, you will by the end of the weekend. I am still assembling cards and if you requested several samples, it may take longer to get posted to your gallery. Lots of orders were placed this week and should be ready for pick up tomorrow or early next week. If you placed an order that needed some kind of edit or change, it may take longer so contact me Monday and I'll give you an update.

All sessions done prior to today will be posted to the site by Sunday, November 21st. Keep checking daily, I'm adding as fast as my computer allows.

On a personal note, I have a child with strep and my day has gotten a little off and I'm a bit behind. I am still feeling more organized than past years or maybe I just know that I WILL GET THRU the rush and be okay. Thanks again for all of your patience. Remember that when you email me an order, you get put on a list and there are other people in front of you. This is the time of the year that I get many orders daily and it takes a while to weed thru them.

Proofs, Cards, Orders, OH MY!!!

Here's a run down -

If you have had a session prior to today (november 9th), you can expect to have your proofs posted by this weekend. If yours are NOT UP by Monday, please send me an email.

If you have requested a card design prior to today, it will be added to your gallery by Monday. If it is not added to your gallery by Monday at NOON, please send me an email.

If you have placed an order in the past few weeks it will be in middle of next week. If you haven't heard about an order that you've placed by next Wednesday (the 17th) please send me an email.

Please remember that there is one of me and lots and lots of you guys and I do get overwhelmed during this time of the year. I need your patience and understanding. I WILL get it all done and you WILL have your pictures and cards in time.


If you do not want to wait around on me to put a card together for you, you have an OPTION, buy a digital file for $50 to use in a card from wherever you like. This is a great option and puts the control in your hands.

This weekend is the last weekend for back-to-back shoots - I am heading to the Delta. The exact location is:

403 East Percy Street Indianola

Please text me if you need something quickly. It is my fastest response tool at the moment.

Have a wonderful week!!

DELTA MINIS

Weekend of November 13/14th - the location will be out near Indianola at Cassie Rose Hardin's house. She has an old shack/house on her property and that is where we will be shooting. I will bring some chairs and other props. I'm EXCITED about it!!!

Send questions to me!

THANKS!

Card Samples

New samples here along with some tried and true oldies from past years.......I will add one more set before the end of September (tomorrow!) and that will be it.

HOLIDAY MADNESS!!!!! :)

Weekend time slots are completely full for mini sessions. I am almost completely full for regular sessions as well. I have a few time slots available on October 9th and a few available on November 6th right now. I also can shoot on Friday afternoons and have October 29th open and November 5th. If you are on a yearly plan DO NOT WAIT to sign up for a holiday time slot. I have set up certain times this year and once they are all full, that is it. I will not take any more.

HALLOWEEN mini mini -

As I was decorating for halloween this past weekend, I realized that my FAVORITE thing about Halloween is looking at all the adorable framed pictures I have of my children in their costumes over the years. We have one from every year and each year the collection grows. I cherish those pictures so much! October 31st is a Sunday and I'm not sure if that is Trick or Treat day or not, but I want to offer you a quick chance to come by and have a little memory captured of your little ones!

Here's the plan -

I will be at the Laurelwood Clubhouse from 3-5pm with some pumpkins and hay and maybe a cute bench and some mums. :) Bring your little one by before ToTing and have a picture made. I will also have suckers and candy for their buckets.

COST - $20 and you get a set of 4-5 proofs (size 4x6)

This is not a fancy session and will be come and go. You don't have to have a certain time slot, but I need to know how many people will be coming so let me know over the next few days if this is something you plan on attending. I don't want it to get too crazy and need to know how many to plan for.

See you at the farm this weekend!

Farm WEEKEND!!!

Thank goodness fall has arrived! Just in time for the first holiday sessions of the season. I'm excited and anxious to get going out at the cricket farm. Big thanks to the Hardy family for allowing me to use their place.

A few notes - I will have several spots set up for us to rotate thru during the day. Lighting will determine what spots are best at the time of your shoot. Clothing - lots of questions about clothing - think FALL and layers and hats and boots. I want these photos to be playful and natural and your kids will be happier in comfy outfits. There will be plenty of time for each session so plan to do a family session if you want. I'm going to TRY and have a laptop there for us to view your pictures the last 15 minutes of your session and we will pick your top 5-10 faves. I'm also going to have a big board with card samples so you can pick your faves for me to work up a perfect card for you!!
