Teasers...

I am in the middle of a very busy and wonderful weekend. I have four sessions, one was with a repeat client and the other three are all referrals from past clients. It means a lot to me that my previous clients think enough of my work to pass my name along. Don't forget, if you are a past client you get a complimentary 8x10 as my way of saying thank you for your referrals. I wanted to post a few teasers from my sessions yesterday....

 

 

 

I will be back tomorrow to post some more. Have a wonderful Sunday!

A few teasers.....

My holiday season has begun and I had a shoot yesterday and today.

Both sessions were with repeat clients which is alway so much fun.

First up is little Cooper. His sister was my very first newborn shoot a few years ago, so this was definitely a lot of fun for me. Here's one from yesterday...

 

Today I had the pleasure of working with the "S" family again. This is my fourth session with them and they were a ton of fun. They have limitless energy and know how to keep me on my toes. Here are are a few

teasers from today...

 

 

 

Bodega Bay

I had the pleasure of working with Lisa and Ethan yesterday. We headed out to Bodega for a sunset shoot and it was unbelievably warm. I had a ton of fun and wanted to post a few teasers from our session....

New maternity session......

I just came from a maternity session and wanted to upload a few teasers. I met with Regan and her husband James.

They were so easy to work with and willing to try anything.

As usual, some of my favorites include some backlighting and flare. Here are a few teasers from today.....

September already???

I have quite a few sessions I have neglected in posting and I have been really busy in my personal life as well. We moved and my little boy just started kindergarten. Now, the holiday season is already here and that means it's time for holiday pictures.

I have a few announcements regarding pricing and mini sessions. I will hold one day of mini sessions this year and if I need to add another one due to high demand I will do so at a later date.

The mini sessions will be held on Sunday, October 11th beginning at 8:30 am.

Included:

30 minute shoot with up to four people

Five images to choose from in a gallery

One lower resolution digital image (big enough to order Christmas cards with)

Price: $90.00

This does not include any prints unless otherwise specified.

I am already booking up quickly for the rest of the season and most of my Saturdays are already full. I have most Sundays available and can also handle weekday appointments.

Regular Holiday Sessions

Included:

A regular session which lasts 1-2 hours

15-20 images in color and black in white in a private online gallery

2 5x7's and one low resolution digital image (see above) or 25 flat holiday cards with envelopes

Price: $125.00

This does not include any prints unless otherwise specified.

Happy Holidays!!

Poor neglected blog.....and a teaser

I haven't updated this blog in quite awhile. I am having my logo redone and I was waiting to relaunch my blog and site when it was all done. However, it has taken a little longer than I thought,o I had to come and post a few teasers for the "L" family.

Here is one of miss "A" in color.....

 

and the same in black and white.

 

I should be back soon with my new logo and a few more sessions to share.

So sweet....

If you look underneath this post, you will see a few teasers from Demae's maternity session. She has a beautiful baby girl exactly one week ago today, and I had the privilege of taking her newborn photos.

Here are a few teasers from our session this morning......

Maternity fun.....:)

I got to meet up with Demae today. Her wonderful friends bought her a baby and belly package for her baby shower. We had a great session and the weather was absolutely perfect.

She is due on my birthday, so I hope I have a little birthday buddy to take newborn pictures of.

Favorites of 2008....

......Comments are now closed.............

I will post the winners by tomorrow morning. Thanks for voting!

As I did with my favorite images of 2007, I am holding another contest this year. I am going to let YOU decide what your favorite image is from the past year. In order to be fair, I chose one image from each session that I did and chose my favorite from the session. 

Now, let's get on to the good stuff....:)

What do I win?

1st place:

 a free session with me in 2009 and a hundred dollar credit that may used towards any prints from previous or future sessions.

2nd place:

$100.00 gift certificate that may be used towards any prints or future session

3rd place:

$50.00 gift certificate that may be used towards any prints or future session

Why should I vote if I am not in the contest?

If you are local you will be eligible to win a free session with me, and all voters will be in a drawing to win a gift card to either itunes or Starbucks.

How do I vote?

Please pick your favorite image and post a comment in the comments section. Make sure you leave your name and email address, so that I can get in touch with you if you win. Let me know which one is your favorite and whether or not you are local to the Sonoma/Napa area. Please only vote once.

Voting will close on January 26th at midnight. The images will appear below their designated number. Some people may appear in multiple images and that is because they have had more than one session with me in the past year.

*EDITED TO ADD*

I have heard from quite a few people that it is hard to see the comment section under this post and it is being missed. Please look directly under #27 to vote. I will count the votes placed under the other posts as well, due to the number of votes I have received.

I will only accept one vote per ip address. I have received several votes from the same computer and those will be deleted before the end of the contest.
