April Premier Event

As promised in my last post, I will be offering some exclusive and truly unique portrait opportunities in the coming months.

Drumroll please..............this month's premier event will be held at the Daniel Stowe Botanical Gardens!

Tulips, daffodils, orchids and more will grace the lovely grounds in April and the colors will be outstanding!! I am offering (3) 30 minute spots to families (up to 5 people) on both April 5 and April 26. Cost is $200 and includes the 10 image CD. This would make a great Mother's Day gift too!

Please contact me at juliestaley@mac.com to book your spot today.

Looking ahead

Just as this expectant mother sees big changes ahead in the future, my little business is changing too.  After much customer feedback, I am changing my basic photography packages.  No price changes- more of a structural change.  ALL of you have told me (through conversations and your sales history) that you love getting digital images.  So, I am now including the 10 image CD with all session fees.  The following prices will apply:

$150- 30 minute session with 10 image CD (location of photographer's choice)

$250- 60 minute session with 10 image CD (location of customer's choice)

**$325 for 60 minute session with 10 image CD or $200 for 3o minutes and 5 images on CD(at photographer's PREMIER location- ex:  sunflower field in July, airplanes in April, boats in May, etc.)

All changes are effective as of 4/1/09.  I hope to see you in pictures soon! Oh, my little one is sending you her special smooch for St. Patrick's Day. ;)

Perfect Ten

There is nothing sweeter than baby toes.  I probably took 50 shots of her feet alone!  Simply precious.  Babies are such an incredible gift from our Lord.  To think He would entrust us with such a tiny being to hold, love, nurture and cherish.  You can sense that awe in this new Mom.  She is totally smitten with little "A".  Thanks for a peaceful and sweet afternoon.  

Carrot Top and Cut Up

You'll be able to tell "who" is "who" pretty quickly in this post!  It is a nice change to photograph boys and these two were simply adorable.  Little "W" has the sweetest combination of red hair and blue eyes.  You will want to pinch his adorable cheeks right through your screen!!  "L" is a 5 year-old flirt who showed off his karate moves and Indian men during our session.  I love his messy hair and sweet smile.  It was fun hanging out with the boys!

Easter Sessions

Hippity, hoppity, Easter's on its way!!  The weather is warming up and the flowers are starting to bloom.  Dress those cuties up in their Easter best for some beautiful, outdoor portraits at my favorite park.  20 minute sessions are $175 and include the 10 image CD ($75 savings). Sessions will be held on March 21 and March 29.  Limit of 3 children per session.

Call or e-mail me at juliestaley@mac.com for your appointment today.

Cousins

How precious are little cousins, "G" and "S"?  G is a very active 3 year old but we managed several cute shots despite her busyness!  Little S grinned from ear to ear anytime his mama called his name.  I love seeing a child's face light up like that.  It was a fun morning!

Hollywood Heights Session

You probably weren't expecting to see airplanes with that blog title, but that is what these amazing machines remind me of.  I am sooooo fortunate to have access to not one, not two, but THREE awesome planes on Sunday, March 22.  The owner formerly lived in L.A. and had them registered with the Hollywood studios.  He even has Iceman's helmet from Top Gun that was given to him by the team who helped restore one of the planes.  That crew also managed the planes on that set!!  The vintage, restored Red Baron (red and white with open cock pit) has been used in several movies and ads.  The sleek black one is edgy and stylish.  The orange and white has a cockpit big enough for 4.  It is so cool!!  If anyone wants some very unique portraits (seniors, kids who LOVE planes or even a fun family session), please let me know.  There are only 2 spots remaining.  You can tell my 3 year old was a big fan!  I think I won the Cool Mommy Award today in her book!
