Holland Photography The Blog

If you get my newsletter you already know about these awesome mini sessions coming your way. If you don’t get my newsletter, well you need to!!! You can sign up in the right hand corner of the top tool bar on this blog!

This year I am offering two opportunities for mini sessions. I have had several families request a smaller session for “just that one shot” for a holiday card or an updated family portrait to go on your wall. You will be able to either join me against the BEAUTIFUL backdrop of the North GA Mountains on Oct 16 and 17 in Dillard GA, OR locally on Oct 24 at Founder’s Memorial Gardens on the UGA campus.

All sessions require a $100 retainer in order to hold your spot. The retainer includes:

- 15 min session

- 10-15 fully edited proofs

- your choice of: 1 digital file with printing rights OR 25 custom designed cards w/envelopes

Package upgrades are also available:

Retainer +

- $150 = 4 additional (5 total) digital files OR 5 gift prints (5×7 or smaller) and 25 additional custom designed cards ($250 total)

- $300 = full set of digital files (all final edited images) OR 8 gift prints, 25 additional cards, and 1 16×20 wall portrait ($400 total)

Or, for those of you that like to mix it up…Pick any combo of the two above for retainer+$375!! This is an awesome deal!! ($475 total)

Purchase any upgrade and receive 25% off any additional prints or products you purchase a la carte!

Contact me NOW to book your session! They will go FAST!! The retainer is due AT BOOKING to hold your session. Email me at info@sueannhollandphotography.com to reserve your spot!

Today I went to Linzi’s house and got these wonderful pictures of her. She is absolutely adorable and was smiling at me from the time I walked in the door. Linzi’s mommy works right across the hall from me and I have been looking forward to meeting the sweet little one and doing these pictures for her. She is obviously a blessing in her family’s life!

I would like to personally wish each and every one of you a VERY Merry Christmas and a happy and prosperous 2010!! Thank you for all you have done for my business in 2009. It’s your happiness and joy over the ways I have captured your memories that keeps me going and I am truly blessed to have clients/friends/blog readers like you!! May God bless you! From my family…

To yours…

SEE YOU IN 2010!!!!

Phaunt is my favorite place to play on the internet! Phaunt is the brainchild of Kylie Banks, a certified Photoshop guru (she has some fancy title that Adobe gave her but really, “highly smart, sweet, and extremely talented Photoshop gal” kind of sums it all up). It is a forum for photographers filled with the awesomeness that we all need – friendships, photoshop tips (and light room too! I’m a LR gal personally), challenges, contests, guest speakers, constructive criticism, business advice, get togethers, free templates,  and just about any thing else you can think of! Phaunt is a paid forum, but I can atest that you get your yearly (or biyearly if you chose) fee back tenfold with all of the awesomeness that the forum has to offer. AND, for the month of Oct, you can join for $5.00 off!! Sweet deal!! Use this code to get your discount: 9CB8

I thought I’d give a shout out to Genevieve Gail who designs the cutest and funest things, from art pieces to jewelry. She desgined and painted the cute little horsey toy box that you see below in the Maddie post. She featured it on her blog and and gave a shout out to my photography biz, so I thought I’d return the favor! I can also vouch for her first hand because one of her adorable pink truck art pieces hangs in Layla’s room! Check her out!!

Six months ago, I introduced you to Hudson. He was all sweet and sleepy and curled up on that bean bag. Today he was still sweet, just not so sleepy (although he did conk out there at the end! Using your mommy’s legs as a constant trampoline must be really exhausting!). He is absolutely adorable, don’t you agree!!! I hope you guys like the preview…

Meet Miss Jordan. She is C-U-T-E as a button and full of personality. She is newly 2 and you can tell she keeps her mama and Grandma hoppin! I was so happy to have the opportunity to meet them all today and to photograph this little beauty! Hope you like your sneak peek!!

Today is Virginia’s 18th birthday!

I had the pleasure of photographing her and her two beautiful sisters today. These girls were a joy to work with and they all take such beautiful pictures. I really love their classic names: Savannah Lee, Virginia Jo, and Elizabeth Grace. Aren’t their names just as beautiful as they are? Girls, I hope you enjoy your sneak peeks! I hope to have the rest up for you very soon and HAPPY BIRTHDAY Virginia!!

This is the first sneak peek from my Mother’s Day Mini Sessions. This is beautiful Maddie and her beautiful mommy! She was a such a great girl to photograph, giving me lots of pretty smiles AND showing off her tongue a lot! Watch out mama and daddy! 13ish years from now…

Hope you guys enjoy the sneak peaks! I’ll get the rest of them up very soon!

Thank you for your great ideas for the Mother’s Day Mini Sessions! I have finally picked a location:

Founder’s Memorial Garden
on the UGA Campus
off Lumpkin St

And the winner:

Amanda Wilson

I had so many great entries – so many creative places I never would have thought of! And actually, no one officially submitted this location, I pretty well picked it on my own. So, to pick a winner I put everyone’s name in a hat that submitted ideas and drew one out and Ms Amanda was the lucky winner!! Congrats!!
