Macy

This little cutie is Macy. She was the very first to model my funflower tutu. Isn't she beautiful? I LOVE the color in these photos.

New Tutus

Here are a few pictures of the new tutus that I will be using for the fall photo sessions.

Exciting Additions

I just returned from our cruise to the Bahamas. We all had such a good time. I actually managed to keep my mind off of work enough to just relax and just take some time off with my family~this is not an easy task for me to just shut my mind off. :) But...on the way home I had a good eight hours to just think and think and think and really put all of these ideas of mine together!

I am so excited about what is to come with the company. I will be adding some new products. I will now be offering custom frames. I will have samples available soon. For example-say we do a photo shoot with your little girl in an adorable tutu and you need just the perfect 12x12 sized frame to finish the print. This is not the easiest size to come across and when you do find one it is not normally anything other than your basic black. I will be offering a variety of color combinations, complete with embelleshments and even the name of your little one if you wish. I don't plan to stop there. Basically, I want to be able to offer you everything that you will need to complete your photos...frames, easles, wall racks etc. Some of you probably wish I had started this much sooner and maybe you would have that picture I did for you three months ago in a frame by now!! :)

I also will be designing my very own tutus!! I use these for alot of my photoshoots. You will now have the option to purchase your very own tutu for your little princess. I will have samples and all of the details soon. I plan to get started right away so I will have some available for your little ones as a special Christmas gift.

These are just a few of the new things that I will be adding. As always thank you so much for your continued support.

I will be posting the dates and times for Christmas Photo Sessions soon. You can choose between a private session with Santa Claus or "the night before Christmas". "The night before Christmas" photo session will not include Santa, rather-we will be doing pajama pics around the tree, shaking presents, leaving cookies for Santa, and getting a story read by Dad to name a few of the ideas. If you wish to have the more traditional, formal Chrismas photo with the holiday outfits with the tree etc. in the background, this will be available as well. More details to come by the end of the week!

Tom Glavine

So....yesterday I did the Tom Glavine charity golf event. I really had so much fun. Not everyone there was a celebrity. Just a bunch of people getting together to support a good cause.

All proceeds benefited the CURE. This is an organization based in Atlanta and they are working for children with childhood cancer. Please check out their website.

This group is truly amazing. I was able to enjoy the speeches given by a few of the parents who had actually lost their child to this battle but still, they are determined to help find a cure. If I understood them correctly, the cure rate has risen quite dramtically. What was once in the 20% percentile is now at a 78% survival rate. Those numbers offer a lot of hope...however...I would not want to be the mommy of the losing 22% and this is why they continue to work so hard to raise money for research and raise our awareness for public support.

It was a very good day. Lots of wonderful, friendly people and it felt so good to be able to use HIS gift for HIS glory. The pictures I did yesterday were my least favorite that I have ever done just in terms of not being able to be fun or creative-it was simply one group shot after another but they are probably by far the most important, selfless photos that I have ever done and that makes my long day yesterday worth every minute of it.

Thank you so much Elesha for getting me involved with this group. I hope to be able to offer my time, talent and heartstrings again next year.

Andrew

I really enjoyed my newborn session with Juli and Robby. I have been shooting for years but nothing makes me more nervous than a photoshoot with a newborn!! I have just recently started offering these newborn sessions to my clients and I have been so pleased with what we have created. Andrew was four weeks old picture day-I could not have asked for a more cooperative baby!!! He was just adorable. I'm sure that mom and dad will treasure these photos for ever and ever.
