Tuesday Minis.....

Will be at Wright's Mill in Madison. Wright's Mill is off of Rice Road....go past the turn to Cock of the Walk and all that and keep going thru the stop sign and under the overpass. Wright's Mill is first neighborhood on the right with the big water mill at the entrance. Park there in the little parking area. Can't wait. Call or text if you have problems!!! Thanks!

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!

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
