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!

Christmas Cards (the FINE print!)

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 around 100 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 and also my new website (to go live on or around October 1st). 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) ~ $35 per set

Flat Paper Cards (printed on textured cardstock - picture on front and back) ~ $60 per set

Folded Paper Card (printed on textured cardstock - pictures on front, back and inside spread) ~ $85 per set

Trifold Paper Card (5x5 trifold on textured cardstock - pictures on front, back, inside and outside spreads) ~ $100 per set

Luxe Paper Cards (shaped cards on textured cardstock - pictures on front and back) ~ $100 per set


This year I am also giving you the option to take the creativity into your own hands! I know that there are many many card options out there and custom card creating is something that I just can't do for everyone any longer. It's extremely time consuming, stressful, and yields very little on my end. So I am offering a cd option JUST FOR CARDS this year. The images will be resized for cards. Here's the breakdown:


CD with 1 image (resized for card purposes) ~ $30

CD with 3 images (resized for card purposes) ~ $40

CD with 5 images (resized for card purposes) ~ $60

CD with 10 images (resized for card purposes) ~ $80

Barn Date is set.....

October 8th.....

The location is right outside of Canton and I will be sure and post directions as the date gets closer -

Some things we will have - an AWESOME red barn with big doors and windows, a wooden fence, trees and grassy fields. We will bring some old chairs and benches for seating and I am hoping to have some old bikes, tricycles, luggage and a swing. Also - pumpkins, wagons and lots of blankets.

I will be doing these as full hour sessions - right now I plan on having just one day at the barn, but if interest is super high, we will consider adding that Friday before (October 7th).

$95 ~ session fee that includes 2 5x7s if order is placed by November 15th. Session fee MUST be paid by September 20th to hold your spot. Session is for one immediate family only - additional extended family members are $10 extra per person.

Thanks soooooo much to Jenny Montgomery for helping us find this great location!! You will all love it and I'm thrilled about it. We can't wait for barn day!!

Very excited!!!

I'm so excited to let you guys know that my new website is in the works as I type! I have been wanting to do this for so long now and it's just been too crazy. I hope to get it up and "live" by September 1st. So, a few things will change with the new site but I'll for sure keep you posted. The BEST change is that you will be able to put you order in online instead of having to email me. I will keep the smugmug site as an archive/storage site and will open up all of your old galleries (2010 and older) so that you can order straight from smugmug. This of course will all take time and patience on your part but I know it will all be worth it in the end.

Still contemplating the Santa sessions and barn sessions and card designs are in the works..........will keep you posted on everything happening here at MHphotography so check back often!!!


In the mean time, stay cool..... I can't wait for Fall weather to arrive!!!
