To celebrate I am reopening all 2010 client galleries for two weeks. Even better, visit the new Facebook page, become a fan by hitting ”Like”, and find a promo code under the Specials tab good for 15% off your prints. Just in time for the holidays!!!

Well how about this, when ten different comments are left in the first two weeks of a portrait post, the client gets a FREE 8×10! If twenty comments are left in the first two weeks I’ll upgrade it to a FREE 12×18! And to make it fair for all my past clients, for the entire month of February, comments left for any post on this blog, no matter when it was photographed, will also qualify for the free print!

Stay tuned, a brand new photo post is coming soon! Don’t forget to subscribe to my RSS so you get all the latest and greatest.

Now for a little surprise. Initially I hadn’t planned a second place; however the top two images were very close in votes, so I think it’s only fair.

There were so many images from this session that I absolutely love! Talk about a gorgeous family. But, I had to decide on just one. For me it came down to this tender and quiet moment between Alaina and her brand new baby. I love the little smile she has and how he is just zonked out and snuggled so cutely against her. You can practically see little zzzzz’s coming from his mouth.

Here is the next picture post for our 2008 Favorite Photo Contest. Voting by comments will be open for this photo for ten days and will expire at midnight on September 15.

Danika has the cutest laugh in the world. It’s like a combination between a pixie and a chipmunk, and it’s absolutely contagious. I love this photo of her mom, Jacque, tickling her little toes because I think it really captures their fun but tender relationship.

We love early birds, so as a reward for getting your cards done early, every Family Portrait Session booked during September gets twenty five custom holiday cards for FREE! That’s a $75 value. We have over forty card designs to choose from.

Contact us today to schedule your Family Portrait Session because this time of year is crazy busy, and spots will fill up quickly. All sessions must be photographed by October 31, 2009 to qualify.

I had a hard time deciding between photos for little Luka. There was another photo that showed off his beautiful long lashes (why is it the boys who always get those), but in the end, it came down to his mischievous sweet smile and cute little toes in this one. When I look at it just lights me up too, and I can’t help but smile back.

If anyone needs a cherub stand in, let me introduce you to Olivia. At ten days old she was already gorgeous. You can probably tell by looking at my photos that I’m a big fan of black and white images. But who can resist showing off these startling blue eyes. They contrast so beautifully with her rosy complexion that I just had to post her photo in color.

All Maternity Sessions booked during the month of February will receive $50 off the session fee. Even better, we don’t have to shoot it during February; you just have to book it this month. So if you’re six weeks pregnant, or about to go into labor, contact us today to schedule an appointment.

Lisa and Ray were a striking couple. They used this photo in their Christmas card this year, and I have to agree with their choice. It’s one of my favorites too! I love the sweet moment against the rugged landscape.
