As promised, I have decided on a winner for the Snapshot Moms FREE spot and because I had so many entries, I’ve decided to give away TWO 1/2 OFF spots, instead of one, to our May 15th workshop.   If you are a winner and cannot make it to the May 15th class (this Saturday 5-8pm), please let me know asap so I can choose another winner.

Okay, without further ado, the winners are:

The FREE spot goes to Jessica Talbott.  Her story was simply heart wrenching.  This chick deserves some good luck!

The two 1/2 OFF spots go to Brandi Moore and Tiffany Adkisson.  You two ladies can mail or Paypal the 1/2 registration fee of $62.50 to reserve your spot.  If you choose not to accept the spot, let me know so I can offer the gift to another person.

AND, remember, those of you already entered can referr a friend this week and receive $50 off your own registration.

Have a great Monday!

I will also be awarding one 1/2 OFF  spot to a lucky runner-up.   Keep an eye on the blog Mother’s Day Sunday for the winning announcement.

Remember, write to me explaining why you deserve to win a spot at our Mom’s workshop OR you can write nominating another Mom.  The winner will be announced Mother’s Day.  Good luck!

Here’s a little more information for those of you “out of the loop” regarding my SnapShot Mom’s class.

If you aren’t the winner of the free spot, we do still have a couple slots left for May 15th.  You can register now by shooting me an email.  It’ll be a fun girls’ night out!

AS A BONUS this Mother’s Day:  Get a friend to sign up for our May 15th class and get $50 OFF your enrollment fee (this includes folks already registered – just send me an email telling me who you referred).

We’re out playing in the fluffy, white stuff that is blanketing our home.   See you peeps in the funny papers!

There’s a chance I may run a SNOW SESSION SPECIAL for this week. Only really FUN folks (who don’t mind getting wet or snow-covered) need apply.

Email for more information and HAPPY SATURDAY!

Happy Holidays!

I’ve been getting a TON of emails lately regarding gift certificates.   Yes, I do realize a lot of you count on these to get yourself a CHEAP SESSION for next year, but they also make really AWESOME GIFTS!  You can purchase one in any amount or gift someone an ENTIRE session.  Either way is SUPER COOL!

This week only gift certificates are 25% off.  That means you can get a SUPER session for $75 off the regular price!  The sale ends Wednesday, December 2nd.  So, get with the program and BUY ALL YOUR FRIENDS (and yourself) ONE!

*Be sure to check in on BLACK FRIDAY!!!

Next on the agenda…

Mini-sessions are filling up quickly.  So are many other fall dates.  I only have a couple of weekend spots left in October. WOW!  You guys are planning early this year!  For those of you who have not scheduled, do so now to guarantee your holiday photos and custom cards!  I’ll be running some card specials VERY soon, too!

Many of you have been asking about locations for the mini-sessions.  Feel free to email me to get more info.  I’d love to fill you in on all the mini-session details!

Next up…

2010 Seniors!!

I wanted to remind all of my seniors that I do offer a two-for-one senior session.  Go HERE to check it out!!!  It’ll save you $75 off the normal $350 price tag for seniors!  I’ve already started to have some major fun with you guys and gals this year.  Just ask Kelsey!

Okay, I think that’s it for now.  I’ll be posting more updates soon!

Keep your eyes open for some holiday specials coming, too.  I’m going to have some fun and spring them on you at the last minute!

Unfortunately, when Carly moved off to attend college at OSU, I lost a late-night movie buddy AND a really great subject to photograph.  She likes to be in photos almost as much as I like taking them.  That’s hard to find these days.  Luckily, she’s been coming home a bit more often lately….

and she’s been bringing HIM with her.

Poor guy.  How many boyfriends do you know that like to be in pictures?  Right.  So, I was pretty proud of him when he agreed to let me shoot some pics of them this past weekend.  Although, I have to say it wasn’t for me.  I think it might be that he likes the girl in white just a tiny bit….

or maybe more than a tiny bit…

Just a few weeks back he hung out with my boys at the zoo.  Yes, I said the zoo….with a couple of very small children….

Did I mention he is a college guy?  So, you understand.  Thought so.

Of course, it helps that he’s a doll.  I’m pretty sure they’d have really adorable children….

But, I digress.

There are tons more where these came from…

but, that’s all you get for tonight.  See you peeps later!

Happy LATE Monday!

Oh, don’t forget…

My mini-session days are filling up quickly!  Get in on the action…email now!

I’ve already had tons of folks emailing to ask when the holiday mini-sessions would be scheduled this year.  Rather than keep putting them off, I decided to go ahead and plan them now.

This will eliminate any rushing around in the Fall and also guarantee all of you AWESOME Christmas card photos.  Do not hesitate!  If you snooze, you LOSE.  These will be the ONLY mini-sessions offered until the Valentine’s season.

Fine Print -
