Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Fall!

Life is interesting. So much of our attitude toward life is determined by circumstance. Every day brings different and new opportunities that come with their own challenges and blessings. No matter how good or bad things may be for us, we have choices to make. We make decisions to believe that "Life Rocks" or that "Life Stinks." When our perspective is "Life is Good" no matter what circumstances bring for us, challenges come in a new light.

We are nearing the end of what may have been an incredible year, a horrible year or something in between. As Thanksgiving is here upon us, we all have things to be thankful for, so do it, truly be thankful for what you have and have had this year. What does this mean? Maybe it means to volunteer your time; get outside your box; donate more; learn something new; pay it forward; greet others with a smile and “Hello”. Begin a new year, before the New Year.

I am truly thankful for my family, my friends, my business and clients, my health and the health of my loved ones. Though nothing is perfect, I choose to have a positive attitude and to live life and cherish each moment. I am thankful for who I am and for whose I am. Thank you, God!
Have a blessed, safe and Happy Thanksgiving!

CK CLIP from a "My Little Model" Simplicity Session

"My Little Model" Simplicity Session

It's not too late to book your little one for a Simplicity Session!

New! Simplicity Sessions

I've had many clients say they would love to bring their children in more often for photographs...this series of sessions is for you!

Okay, so I'm not normally a package girl, but I've set up a new series of sessions that will include packages. The purpose is to make it easier for you to come in for quick professional photographs more often without the fuss of a full-blown session, coming back for a proofing and order, etc. However, the details of the Simplicity Sessions are very specific.

• Sessions are set up for one person - usually between the age of 8mo - 12 years (infants must be able to sit well unsupported) ***Unless otherwise specified
• Sessions last 10 minutes and cost $10
• You'll see up to 10 poses from the session
• You'll select and order the same day, immediately following the session
• Packages start at $59 with lots of deals on specialty products, like the CK CLIP!
• Sessions run for a limited time only - so book early!

The first Simplicity Session is called "My Little Model".
The background is white with no props (unless it's a scarf, hat, or piece of clothing or jewelry).
We'll play fun music and have the fan blowing for a "modeling" session.

See the CK CLIP below


"My Little Model" sessions are available -
Tuesday & Thursday, November 3rd & 5th from 9am-4pm and
