The votes are flying in! (and some new deals!)

All I can say is...I am having a hard time keeping up with all of these votes! These couples have got some dedicated friends and family! I haven't even been able to respond to all of the votes, but I'm trying! I won't give any hints as to who's in the lead...BUT....I will say that it is a very close race for the top 3! Keep the votes coming in!

In other news.............

Site Updates and Holiday Photos

I'm having such a great time reading the contest entries, keep them coming! (To see what I'm talking about, read the next blog).

I'm busy working on some updates for my website now. The goal is to make it more simple to find what you're looking for. I'll also be adding a bunch of newer photos. I'm really excited!

Also, I'm now booking holiday photo shoots! These packages are for kids, adults, families, pets, or anyone else you can think of! Packages start at $125 and include holiday greeting cards! Shoots can be booked now through November 15th, so that cards and any additional photos can be delivered well in advance of the holidays. Shoots can take place at your home, in a park, or wherever you'd like!

Also available: calendars, enlargements, canvas wraps, assorted gifts, etc...

Engagement Picture Offer

Well, the time has come for my free engagement/portrait/family photo offer to end.  I'm booked for most weekend days through July!!

The good news is...if you missed the offer, I'm still offering these types of shoots at a great discount.  $75 gets you a shoot that will last about 2-3 hours, and all of your images in high resolution on a DVD.  Please contact me for more info!

I was honored to shoot the Christening of the son of my very good friends, Glen and Celina.  Some photos will be up on the site soon, but here's one to hold you over:

How gorgeous is he?!?!  He was so good all day, this moment was snapped while he was getting ready.  More to come soon!

Photo of The Day

As I said in my last blog, I've started a photo a day project.  I was trying to figure out one specific item or color to use and it just wasn't happening.  So, I just picked up the camera and started taking pictures of things around the house and my theme came to me.  I don't consider myself to be a girly-type.  I like cars and movies aimed at 13 year old boys.  So that would be my challenge...photograph one girly thing each day.  I must confess, my love of eyeshadow is definitely one girly trait I possess.  More tomorrow!

Etsy site is up and running!

Well, it's official...Site #2 is up and running! I finally took some time and listed some favorites of myself and my friends on etsy.com.
