I’ve been meaning to blog this forever! With the first Monthly Mini Session date fastly approaching (March 20th!), now may be a good time to do that! There are only 2 spots remaining for the March minis!
That’s right! Our very popular mini sessions that are normally offered twice a year, are now being offered once a month! Now you’ll have the option of a Signature Session or a Monthly Mini Session. These Mini Sessions will be held in various locations in Central KY (one set location per session) on set dates.
Please click HERE for more information. Make sure to check out the calendar HERE.
The very first date being March 20th and the popular Boyd’s Orchard minis on April 24th.
Of course, Signature Sessions will remain the ultimate custom photography experience. It’s hard to believe, but spring sessions are already booking up! If you have a date in mind for a session, it is a good idea to book as soon as possible to insure your spot is held, both for Signature Sessions and Mini Sessions.
Grab a snack and sit back…this is a long one! There may be a little gift at the end. As I’m finally getting use to writing 2010 on my checks, I think back to 2009 and reflect on the good, the bad, and the plain ol ugly. It was my first full year as a full time professional photographer. It seems like things have moved so fast. Sometimes I feel like I’ve made every mistake one could possibly make in one year. But with every mistake, I’ve kicked and screamed and thrown my hands up in the air I’ve learned. I’ve grown. It doesn’t hurt that I have the most amazingly patient clients ever. They have allowed me to figure this crazy thing out (not that I have…or if that’s even possible). There were days that I felt lost and days that I felt I had it all together. In the end, I know my clients better, I know my business better, and I know myself better. Realizing along the way that the best way to do anything is stay true to yourself. I know…it sounds so cheesy, but it’s true. No matter what, I want to share. Share who I am. Share my love for photography. Share in your special moments. Share in your little moments. Share what I see. Share all those things that make your family unique. This is something that has not changed from the beginning and will not change. My main goal will always be to capture a moment. One of the things I missed out on this past year was the sharing of me to you. I got so busy and so wrapped up in our life and the business that I didn’t connect as much as I would like. So, here I am. I know…you’re so excited right? Woot woot!
Well, here’s me sharing my MOST favorite of the favorites from 2009 (yeah…I know…I’m great at that whole narrowing down thing)….
And here’s a video to view even more of my 2009 favorites!
Now for a few of my favorite MOMENTS that I have been wanting to share.
First…The Pings…This family is one of my favorites. I love their style, each of their personalities, and that I’ve been with them since Abby was 1. I love watching them grow. I love that Scott gets so excited that he will email me or facebook me a million times asking, but he immediately makes up for it when he posts their slideshow a million times. And I mostly love that little miss Abby drew me a pretty picture before our last session. FYI…I still have it up (I keep everything “my” kiddos give me).
I think the storyboard below will tell the story well…
Second…I know I’ve already talked all about this, but I can’t talk about most memorable moments without at least showing this one more time…
Third…this is from OCTOBER! I was suppose to share it way back then, but of course time got away from me. I was beyond thrilled when Skirt contacted little ol me to be featured in their “Secrets” issue. My “secret” was taking the perfect picture of your child. I actually had MY picture taken by the fabulous Carla Winn (before they moved to Seattle ). FYI…I am much more suited for being BEHIND the camera. Another quick little factoid about me…I LOVE jean jackets. I own 3. Yeah…it’s sad.
Finally…ALL CLIENTS FROM 2009 OR EARLIER…thank you for your patience. Thank you for allowing me to be myself. Thank you for sharing your family with me. Thank you for making me a part of your life. I am eternally grateful for you. As a little thank you, each and every past client (one offer per family), may choose from one of the following:
Buy one get one free on gift and wall prints from a past session. Perfect time to complete that wall gallery! Good through the end of February.
Book a session before the end of February to take place no later than April and receive $50 off Session Fee. Session must be booked no later than Feb. 28th.
Looking through my blog, you may notice lots of exciting changes, including MONTHLY MINIS!! That’s right. The fabulous mini sessions that were once only offered twice a year are now offered once a month! Go HERE for more information. So many things that I’m very very excited about! More details coming soon
This is completely out of order, but I just had to share a few pictures from my last Senior session of 2009. I abosolutely adore Sarah’s quirky personality and style. I was beyond thrilled when she showed me these glasses And I knew these would be some of my favorites from the session. I swear something about her sense of humor reminded me of Juno (which is definitely a compliment from me because I LOVE Juno). Then I snuck a little peak at her facebook (I promise I wasn’t stalking) and the first movie she lists as a favorite is JUNO!
I have had lots of fun senior sessions this past year and I can’t wait to share some of the images. I’m working on a *little* surprise to show some of my favorite images from the year, especially the ones you missed out on since September Until then, here’s just a taste of one of my favorite senior sessions!
Thanks Sarah for putting up with all my silly requests and letting me chase you around on Main Street in Danville!
Hello again! Can you believe? Two entries in one week! And there’s more to come I’m *almost* caught up! Here are a few more from most of my recent sessions . Again…less talk and more images. Don’t worry, you will get to read my ramblings soon…very soon!
Parker’s senior session (okay…so, this isn’t really a “recent” session). We’re working on something that I can’t wait to show!!!! Can you guess what it is? Be sure to check out Parker’s website at www.parkerwyoung.com. Inspiring story…tons and tons of talent…a true gem of Lancaster.
Little Miss Payton. 7 months is my absolute favorite age to photograph!!! Can’t you see why!?! They are always so happy and can sit up, but not run from me!
Colt…oh how I feel so old. Colt is my best friend, Andrea, little brother. I have known him since he was around 7! Crazy!!! I’m so proud of him!
I know you have to recognize this little beauty Here she is over a year ago! I cannot believe it’s been so long since we’ve done a session. She’s grown so much and is such a big girl now. Don’t you just love her blonde curls and big blue eyes?
Oh…squeeze her cheeks! This next picture is one of my favorites ever. She was such a happy baby! Her Momma and Dad are friends of mine from way back when. I haven’t seen them in so long. I was completely honored that they were willing to drive all the way from Louisa for a session with me! I’m so glad they did
A few more from one of my Seniors that Rock! sessions. They get a choice of a full session or two mini sessions. Here are a few from his first session. I love so many of the ones we got during the second session! Hayden was such a trooper, despite how tired he was This next picture is probably one of my favorites…ever!
Just trying to finish up this session and had to share a few of her pictures. They just made me so happy If I were making a list of the things that make me the happiest, true full body laughs would probably rank up there in my top 10. I just think that everyone should be able to let loose and have a good laugh. Even better if I’m there to capture it Mary was so much fun. She has the absolute best laugh. It is truely contagious. I’m having the hardest time narrowing down her gallery!!! Too many that I just love!
P.S. This is how I’m going to try and do most of my blog entries for now on. Short and sweet. That way I can blog more often
And one serious for ya. You know I couldn’t resist Look at those eyes!
). FYI…I am much more suited for being BEHIND the camera. Another quick little factoid about me…I LOVE jean jackets. I own 3. Yeah…it’s sad.
