Sisters

I love photographing siblings that are older. They pay attention, they do what I ask, we can be more creative and they've got the coolest shoes!! Although, I have seen some really cute squeaky shoes on some 18 month olds lately. So flipping cute!! Everywhere they go...squeak...squeak...squeak...squeaksqueaksqueaksqueak!!!

Thanks ladies!! You were terrific fun!

Santa Baby!

Have to share this adorable little pouty guy. Mom brought in the best holiday outfits for him and we had a blast photographing him with them. If you caught his earlier post (Three day old smiler), he's now 2 months old today! What a cutie he's turning into!

Santa's Visit

Just a few tidbits from our Santa Portraits over the weekend...WOW!! It was so much fun watching the kids see Santa. Yes, some of them screamed like crazy, others screamed "Santa!" in excitement, still others took some time to conquer their fears and bravely reach out to accept a candy cane from Santa. We hammed it up for the camera, read stories together, checked the list to make sure who was on the nice list and got plenty of great big hugs. It was such a terrific experience, I've already made sure Santa will be sure to come out and see us again next year!

Your order can be picked up at the studio on Saturday the 13th between 10am and 1pm. Let us know if you need a different time.

Want advance notice of it for next year? Make sure you're on the email list and we'll drop you an email around November to let you know when Santa is coming next year! Email me and I'll put you on the list!

Flooding in the valley? Photo-op!!

I finally had the opportunity to take advantage of the flooding that happens every year out here in the Snoqualmie Valley. This adorable couple wanted portraits to capture their life as it is before they start on the next chapter in their life and the timing was perfect for what I had in mind. Outside we went with their cute puppies and their adventuresome spirit! Thank you!!!! The water was COLD but oh so worth it I think!!

Santa Saturday!

I'm so excited!! Santa's coming to visit Duvall on Saturday the 6th! That's THIS Saturday! He'll be here at the studio from 10am until 2pm. This years set is a log cabin fireside scene where Santa is hard at work finishing gifts and toys for all the kids and piles of gift-wrapped toys are ready to be loaded into the sleigh.

Portrait Packages will be available starting at $30, and ala carte options will be starting at $20. Remember, this is the super duper Santa pricing, you don't get prices like this any other day of the year!!

I'll also have some really cute designs for Holiday cards available as well if you haven't tackled the annual card yet. I would expect to have cards back and ready for pick up by the 16th, maybe even as early as the 13th. Plenty of time to get them in the mail!

Where's the studio??? We're on the corner of Main and Cherry in the Historic Duvall area in the same building as Quilter's Garden and Duvall Performing Arts. Of course, this is right in the thick of all the construction, but there's plenty of parking in the side parking lot, behind the library, behind our building and off towards the Shell station.

Oh! And don't forget!! If you came by for Halloween and I took your picture, you still have your free 4x6 at the studio that you can pick up!

Where'd November go?

Wow, that was a fast month!! Ok, I'm unearthing my desk and getting things squared away. Christmas is almost here and I hope everyone had a terrific Thanksgiving!!

Things to know:

You still have time to have portraits delivered in time for Christmas! But only until the 5th. After that, you have until the 12th to get your order to me, but now there's rush charges to be factored in. You should have been photographed by now, of course. This only works if we're ordering from a previous session.

Holiday cards!!! I love, love, LOVE the new designs I'm working with!! And, yes, I still have time to get your holiday cards back in time for you to mail out! Even better, take advantage of Santa pictures this Saturday and send out holiday cards featuring your adorable children with Santa! (no rush charges for any portrait/card orders with Santa!)

Families, Santa and Halloween Updates!!

Two specials to announce! First, Santa said he could tear himself away from overseeing the elves at the North Pole and come hang out here to see what good girls and boys we have in the area. Although, he'll have to keep working on toys while he's here, hopefully kids won't mind helping Santa make toys. :) This will be on Saturday, December 6th from 10am-2pm. Don't forget I have a knack for picking the one day in December that it will snow for Santa's visit so be prepared. :) We'll be photographing regardless of the weather (unless of course, it's so snowy the reindeer can't see to fly!) and I'll update here on the blog about Santa's journey from the North Pole.

Second, mini sessions for families on November 15th! Perfect small sessions for getting everyone together for gifts for the holidays and greeting cards. Sessions last 30 minutes, 1 outfit, numerous poses to choose from. $400 for the package covers the session, 3 gift portraits (up to an 8x10 size) and 24 greeting cards (choose between postcards style or the ever popular 5x7 folded style; we can send you home with envelopes to address ahead of time!).

Ok, one more thing...for the month of November I'll have holiday themed sessions available. I'm only photographing them until the end of the month and November is already half-booked. Do not wait until the last minute! The theme we did last year that was so popular was "Twas the Night Before Christmas" and it will be back again this year! I also have plenty of other things we can photograph, just depends on what kind of look you would like!



Ok, ONE more thing!! This is it, I promise!! Halloween is right around the corner. Duvall is doing their annual trick-or-treating downtown from 3-6pm on Halloween and there's over 100 businesses in the downtown area participating. We will, of course, be handing out candy like everyone else, but I will also have a Halloween background up to photograph in. Last year, we tried out BYOC (bring your own camera) but that didn't work so well since most people didn't have one with. This year, I'll be taking the pictures and printing a free 4x6 for everyone to come by and pick up starting Monday after Halloween.
