No…not really, but it is time to start thinking about Christmas portraits! The Christmas season is a joyous, busy time for everyone (including me!) fall sessions book very quickly! I will have a lot of new and very cool Christmas cards to offer this year, and the deadline to order them is November 15th. The last session available for Christmas portraits (cards and gifts) is October 26th. This time line assures that everyone’s portraits and cards are ready to go before Christmas! If you’re interested in having fall portraits done, please email or call to check availability, booking your appointment early assures that you will have a spot in my appointment book!

Our high-tech name selector (aka Chasey) proudly pulled the “N” family out of the hat! Congrats “N” family! Jennifer had only wonderful things to say about her husband Jason. He’s a great dad and he is one of the many men and women that risk their lives for our country and freedom. There were a few photos that were sent, but I thought this one was the most touching.

“He is an Active Duty Army Staff Sargent Military Police Officer who is working on leaving for his third 15 month long deployment in Iraq in the past 4 years. No matter where or what he is doing he manages to make my son feel included in everything he does. Whether it be letters, pictures or web cam he stays in touch and lets his son know he is always there for him no matter what the circumstances. He does not get a lot of time to spend with us but when he does it is always spent creating fun memories that he and my son can look back on when he is away.”

(that was just part of Jenn’s email of why Jason is a great dad to his son Ryan) I can’t wait to photograph your beautiful family!

In honor of my new “look” I am giving away a mini-session to the next 3 people that email me!! (new clients only…so tell your friends about my site and blog!)

mini-session rules: 30min session at the location of your choice (in Modesto/Stanislaus co.) for a baby, toddler or child; I get to pick the clothes!
