Portrait Parties Are Back!

Bring your play group and SAVE

I know moms with young children are always looking for something fun and different to keep the kids busy (I certainly am!). Summer can be tough because they are home and you can quickly run out of options to entertain short attention spans.

Play groups are a wonderful relief for parents and children as it gets them out of the house and around other moms and kids. I started thinking about all this and a great idea hit me - Portrait Parties! Ok, so this isn't a new concept and those of you who knew me five years ago know exactly what I'm talking about. This summer I am bringing them back with a twist!

Plan to bring your play group to the studio one afternoon and we'll do a mini session with each child. Pack some snacks to enjoy after your session and by the time you are finished eating and playing, your previews will be ready for you to view! You can place your order before you leave.

Portrait Parties are best with 3-6 moms participating. If you have more in your group, we can talk about options to accommodate everyone. Each party is only $50 (up to 6 guests) and you can expect about 5 previews per child.

Talk to all your friends TODAY and start making plans for a Portrait Party play date!

Presley - 7 months

Lil Miss Presley is getting cuter every time I see her! She had a fabulous session and I just love her outfit!

Hudson - 7 months

For Hudson's 7 month session, we had to do a few special things. I love his little Razorback cap and have been itching to do this shot with a little boy!  The overalls he is wearing were his daddy's! What a treasure to have them! His momma was so excited that they fit for this session.

Hudson has the brightest blue eyes and pretty blonde hair and is just such a happy baby! I always enjoy his visits to the studio!

I'm working on the next newsletter and it's packed with exciting specials, events and freebies for the summer and fall! If you are not on the e-mail list, send me an e-mail and ask to be added! You won't want to miss this one!

Calley - 4 months

Calley is growing up fast! Here are a few from her 4 mo session

Little Miss Ava - Outdoor Session

Miss Ava is getting so big! The last time we did an outdoor session for her, she didn't have all those beautiful curls! I am thrilled to have had the priviledge of photographing her since she was only a few weeks old and I really enjoy watching her grow and change. I'm always excited when I get the call that it's time for another session with her!

Justin - Senior 2010

Justin is getting ready for graduation this May and I'm so glad we were able to do his outdoor session over Spring Break! I had a lot of fun and I'm pretty sure he did too.

Rhys - 8 months

Mr. Rhys is growing up so fast... we just did his 8 month session and have his birthday portraits on the calendar! The first year really flys by! Rhys is in the Watch Me Grow program so you've been seeing a lot of him :)

Kahlie - Senior 2010

Kahlie is getting ready for graduation and we all know senior portraits are always a BIG part of that to-do list! She made it into the studio with enough time to order for graduation announcements. Whew! One more big thing is now checked of the list.

Madison

I can hardly believe it but Miss Madison is already ONE! I have watched her really grow up in the last six months and can hardly believe how much she changes each time I see her! Happy Birthday sweet girl!

Bella and Bentley

These two little cuties did awesome! I love Bentley's camo hat and Bella is such a girly girl! Best of both worlds, I think!

Chase

Chase just had his first birthday so everyone came in for his birthday session. Since they were coming in anyways, we did a family portrait as well! Chase is such a lil cutie and big sister was really a natural in front of the camera!

Baby Gavin

I was so excited to meet baby Gavin! He has two brothers who are special to me and now #3 completes this rowdy family! I have really enjoyed watching his brothers grow and I hope to get to enjoy him as well.

He was an awesome baby through his session so we were able to capture lots of different things for Mom and Dad to enjoy. I love his green blanket too! Thumbs up to grandma for making it just for him.

Frisby Family

Everyone is coordinated beautifully for this family portrait! I love to see what cute outfits moms will find for little boys and Colin and Aidan were certainly dressed well. I know Mom and Dad were exhausted after the session but the results worked! So glad you came to see me!
