here is the event for all the lil’ dudes out there!  since the lil’ girls can get some free valentines at the matilda jane trunk show,  i wanted to offer an event for the lil dudes to get the same thing!

so you are invited to come in for the “share the LOVE” event on january 26 anytime between 9:30-11:30am or 4-5:30pm with your little lover boy dressed in his most handsome duds.  i will grab a few pics of him and then have 20 free valentines cards ready for you to pick up in time for valentines day!  when you come, i would love it if you would join me in “sharing the LOVE” by  bringing in a pack of diapers or a few packs of baby wipes for the teen moms in YoungLives.  YoungLives is a ministry of sharing Jesus’s unconditional love for teen moms in the greater Holland area.  there are many different aspects to the ministry including monthly club gatherings, one-on-one mentorship, weekly lunches at area high schools, and week-long camp with moms, babies, mentors…all sharing living quarters! for more information about YoungLives, check them out here!!

announcing…. senior share-a-shoot!

who:  class of 2013 seniors with 1-2 friends… girls or guys, cousins, siblings, friends, classmates, BFs, BFFs, facebook buddies….whoever you want to share a shoot with!

what: book a session with a friend, share the cost of the session (must be paid in full together), the time, and the proofs. cost includes make up for one.  if you want to add-on make up, its $15pp.

where:  you choose the location type, just like you would a regular session.

how:  when you call to book the session, just let me know you want to share a shoot!  i will email you the form that each of you will need to print, fill  out, and send in with the session fee. you will come to the studio together, get make up together, and and show up for the session together.  i will switch back and forth between you and i can shoot one of you while the other changes outfits to make the most of the time!  the online gallery will include pics of each of you (the number of proofs offered will be divided between you) and a few together (if you choose to have those taken). you will then be required to order separately and pay for your print order separately (collections can not be purchased together/shared).

super excited to announce one of the new offerings for 2012….

the e-baby.  you pay for the session fees when you book the session ($245 for all three sessions). and then once you see the images from the session, you can choose to either purchase images ala carte after each of the sessions, OR join the e-baby.  the e-baby plan will give you the cd from the first session right away and also cds from each of the other 2 sessions at 6 months and one year.  payment is either made in full at the first session, or made in two installments at the newborn and 6 month sessions.  total cost for the e-baby plan is $1350 (plus tax), which saves clients who would have purchased the cd from each session $650!  e-baby offers newborn clients the option to create their own birth announcements, make their own first birthday party invitations, and print whatever prints/canvases/albums they wish!

tis the time of year for christmas cards!  if you are interested in purchasing christmas cards through me, feel free to call the studio or email me to set up a time to come in to create them with sarah!  here are just a few of the the card styles….  lots more options too…

justin and his adorable twin sister got a few together too…
