Each session will include $100 print credit and a fun goodie bag filled with all kinds of different surprises!

The Fine Print:

2. Only ONE entry per child and ONE child per photo. You can enter as many children as you wish from the same family, as long as they are within the age requirements.

Please email me with any questions you may have!! I can’t wait to see your beautiful fresh faces!!

I had the pleasure of meeting with Amelia and Lee tonight to photograph her beautiful baby belly! She’s so tiny and is all bump – cute as a button. I had actually met her years ago when I used to sell Tupperware and it was bugging me like crazy to try and figure out where I had met her before. I’m so glad we figured it out! They only have a few more weeks left til their bouncing baby boy arrives and I think they are very ready to be parents! There is no question the baby will beautiful! Just look at these two…

I gotta admit, it’s a little nerve wracking shooting for a former art major/photography teacher/portrait photographer! I hope they didn’t laugh all the way down the driveway and are truly pleased with the results! I wish you both the best of luck with your new roles as parents!!

Bella’s mama brought her to me today to get some simple head shots that she can pass on to talent and modeling agencies. I definitely think they are looking in the right direction because Bella is definitely a two year old beauty!! Our goal was some simple, color head shots, and while we got those, you know I can’t help but play around and make a little something extra out of them! Here are some previews to tide you over til I get the rest of them up (very soon!).

I got this email today:

“Hi Sue Ann, do you remember how we were talking about getting that gallery wrap at my session and I was waffling so bad on it? Well, I have decide that I HAVE to have it. Is there any chance that you may be offering a sale on them anytime soon? If not (and my husband told me not to tell you this part) it’s ok, I’ll buy one anyway, but I am really hoping for a sale!!!!!”

Well, ok. Sure! Why not!?! Just for you, I am offering a sale on these wonderful canvases!!! I LOVE gallery wraps! They are a breath taking way to display a portrait in your home. And everyone should have one. Each and every one of you! So here a fun sale on two of the most popular sizes -

16×20 $275 $175

20×24 $335 $225

Serious folks! This is ridiculous cheap!!! Snag yours today!!!! You can use the paypal button below or contact me about paying by check. This sale ends Friday, January 22nd, 2010 at 10pm!!! You MUST pay for your canvas before it will be ordered and NO orders will be placed after that time. Even if you have an upcoming session you can still play along! Just pick your size and we will order it with a place holder until we have the perfect shot! Put your session month/year and the proof number in the notes section of the paypal or if you don’t know it, contact me and we’ll figure it out together!! Thanks for playing!!!

I had the pleasure of meeting Lisa and Kip tonight to photograph her lovely expectant belly! They are anxiously awaiting the arrival of their baby girl at the end of this month. Lisa makes a beautiful model and I was very proud to be the one to make these memories for them! And I’d like to give a shout out to Michelle for referring Lisa to me!! I am always appreciative of your referrals!!
