Latest designs!

February 6, 2012

in design

I finally had a chance to upload the latest cards/invites – some more recent than others.  I do not have every new design on here, but mostly all of them.

Notice all the new die-cut shapes that are offered now!   I love these.  They are so unique.  They are $10 more per set, but I think they are SO worth it!

AND, I’m in a giving mood tonight, so I’m offering a free set of cards!  To be entered into the contest you must do 2 things…

  1. Become a fan on Facebook, by clicking here.
  2. Leave a comment at the end of this post (maybe telling me your favorite design or something you’d like me to do/offer) with a valid email address.

Contest starts now and will end at 11:59 on February 14, 2012.  I’ll randomly select a winner from the comments for ONE SET OF CUSTOM-DESIGNED CARDS, INVITES OR ANNOUNCEMENTS.  You will have until Valentine’s Day of next year (2013) to order your free set of cards!  Please limit to one comment per person.

Thanks for browsing.  And, remember that these designs are copyrighted.  Although flattering, I’ll be a little more than annoyed if you copy me.  :)

Can’t believe that we’re wrapping up 2011!  Always a little depressing, but refreshing, to start a new year. Bring on 2012!

There will be a few changes to my photography pricing…

- I’ve decided to make a few “collections” (aka “packages”) to sell.  I mainly decided to do this for the fun seniors that I’ll start shooting soon.  I think they like a guideline – of sorts – as to what to purchase.  If you’re one of my customers who usually buys the 20-image CD or 30-image CD, that hasn’t changed, except that I’ll be adding tax to it (I used to just include it in the price, but makes it easier for invoicing to tack it on later), so that’s a minimal price increase.  But you do get a print with CD purchase now.

- I am increasing my price on my sitting fees for families and children – from $60 to $75.  Brides, newborns and seniors remain the same, $100.

- I’m continuing to offer the option to purchase prints only – with a minimum amount of $175.

- I’m still offering the 40% off my print pricing (and 20% off pricing for canvases and other specialty items) if you purchase a CD/collection.

- All the collections include the CD AND either a free print or a credit for prints/products.  I’m really excited about these collections, and I hope you are too.

- AND if you purchase a collection and need custom cards/invites/announcements with the images from the shoot, you’ll get $10 off my design fee.

My design fees (for cards and photo collages) will be the same.  And as long as my printer doesn’t raise the prices on cards/invites, mine won’t increase either.

If you have any questions about any of the changes or pricing, please feel free to contact me.

THANK YOU again for another wonderful year.  Even with the new baby boy and my three little girls, I was able to finish it all this season.  I owe big thank yous to my sweet and patient clients, my husband and my family and friends who helped me with my kiddos.  I appreciate you!

Here’s a cute pic of my babes from the holidays:

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I’m having a blast this season shooting family pictures!  There are so many to post, so I’ll take the lazy route…visit my album on Facebook:)

And let me design your family’s Christmas cards this year, with photos I’ve taken or ones you’ve taken (or another photographer – I give them credit!).  Deadline for ordering cards is Monday, December 5th.

The J Family

October 10, 2011

in Photography

I had the opportunity to shoot a precious newborn and her family at their beautiful home in Dallas.  She had so many great textures in her house, the decorating was superb and the lighting was just right.  The older siblings were oh so cute.  I got a glimpse of an energetic toddler boy who loved dinosaurs.  In fact, we got him to smile for the pics by putting T-Rexes on my head.   Whatever it takes, right?!

Thank you, J Family, for letting me come into your home and capture your family.

The weather is SO much nicer now, and a great time for pictures!  Email me to book your fall shoot.  Times for Saturdays and Sundays are already filling up, but I have lots of availability during the weekday evenings.

Shoots will be here at my place (rustic setting) or either at Davis Park or Lee Park (in Highland Park) for an additional $25 on select Saturdays and Sundays.

Here are some pics taken at Davis Park…

And here are a few shot at Lee Park/Arlington Hall:

Introducing…

Harrison Henry Andrews

7 lbs. 6 ozs., 20.5 inches

He decided to come early!  My water broke early Friday morning around 2:30.  Luckily my doctor was on call, so I talked to him and he had me come on in.  Labor was a little slow at first, but I got pitocin and had an epidural at noon.  Then he arrived yesterday at 2:06 pm.

We are all so in love with him, especially his big sisters.  They can’t stop holding him!

D-Day set

August 1, 2011

in A girls,BOY!,Camille

Delivery day has been set for August 8th!  The girls are so excited to meet their baby brother.  I think they’re mainly pumped about wearing their new pettiskirts and cute big sister shirts I got off etsy.  (Love and hate that site btw.  Just too much cuteness.)

Here’s a sneak peek of them planking in their pettiskirts.

Stay tuned for an update early next week.  I don’t know how many blog readers I have who aren’t Facebook friends, so I’ll try and update both!

The easiest way to show all our pics was to post them in a slideshow…

Enjoy!

We are alive.  Just having a fun and busy summer.

We’ve done VBS, been to Puerto Rico and now we’re chilling as much as possible.  And I’m really trying to get caught up on everyone’s pics before the baby comes.

I’m pregnant, remember?  Having the baby in like 4 weeks.  Oh. my. gosh.

Hope to post some pics soon.

Thanks for checking in on us.
