Announcing 2012 holiday mini sessions!


Happy (almost!) fall to you!

As most of you know, KDP is celebrating the holidays a little early this year due to my 3rd little bundle of baby boy joy arriving at the end of November! So my holiday mini sessions have been moved up and are quickly approaching. I'm excited to share all the details!

And what is a mini session, you ask? It's a fun, quick session at a discounted rate at a gorgeous location that I've chosen. Whether you choose to have your whole family photographed or simply your baby, children, or teen, holiday minis are the perfect time to capture treasured images of your loved ones and snag a great image to you use for your Christmas card! Here is what's happening:

When: Friday, Saturday, & Sunday, September 21-23.


Where: A private residence in Norcross, GA in the Peachtree Corners area. This yard is huge with lots of gorgeous trees (which will hopefully be changing colors!) and is backed by the Chattahoochee River. I did my fall mini sessions here 2 years ago, as some of you may remember, and the colors are just so pretty! Here's a little sneak peek of some of my past sessions at this location:

Spring minis

I'm going to try to buckle down and catch up on this blog over the next month! To start off, I want to share a few images from my awesome spring mini sessions back in May! I really get to photograph the cutest kids EVER. I'm sure you'll agree :)

An announcement & a discount!

Happy end-of-the-summer to all my clients and friends!

Is anyone else as excited about fall as I am?! I don't think I've ever been so thrilled about cooler weather, changing leaves, comfy boots, and back-to-school :)

I just wanted to take a little editing break to let everyone who doesn't know yet in on the latest update with my little family. We are expecting our 3rd little BOY at the end of November! We're super excited (and a little nervous!) for this sweet addition to our family.

BUT I need to talk about what this means for YOU, my awesome clients. Fall is by far my busiest time of year, and while a November baby puts a little kink in my typical schedule, I think with a little proactive planning, I'll still be able to accommodate everyone's holiday image needs.

HOLIDAY MINI SESSIONS: I wanted to let you know that my holiday mini sessions will be in mid-ish September this year, which is about a month earlier than usual. I'm still finalizing the exact dates and location, but expect an email and announcement on my Facebook fan page by early next week. I expect these mini sessions to fill up super quickly, so please try to respond as soon as possible if you're counting on a spot for your fall pictures!

REGULAR SESSIONS: I'm booking fall sessions now through the first weekend of November! I really can't in good conscience book sessions later than that unless you're willing to be very flexible with my editing time, just in case baby boy decides to arrive earlier than his November 26th due date. That being said, I'd love to offer a discount of 10% off of your session fee for all clients who book their regular fall session during the month of August (The session may take place ANY TIME between now and November, but it just has to be booked in August. The discount applies to regular sessions only, as mini sessions are already fabulously discounted!)

For those who have asked, after baby love arrives, I'll take 6-8 weeks off for maternity leave, but will be back booking 2013 sessions around the end of January. The only exception I'll make during those weeks is for those needing newborn sessions because of their obvious time-sensitive nature.

I hope everyone has had a wonderful summer, and I can't wait to work with many of you this fall! :)

B Family - spring edition

One adorable spring session that I just HAVE to share before I head back into the land of editing is the awesome B family! Their sweet little girl M just turned one, and we celebrated with balloons, tutus, and all things girlie! Don't I get to photograph the most gorgeous little girls?! (Not to knock my boys, but there have seemed to be an abundance of girls lately, which is so fun for this mama of boys!) I think mama B is so beautiful and her little girl just gets more and more precious every time I see her. I can't even believe she was this small just a year ago! Happy belated birthday, M girl!

A Family - spring edition

Once again, during the busy-ness of spring sessions, mommying 2 little boys, and growing another one (yes, we are having yet another precious boy late this fall!), this blog has fallen behind. But I need to take a quick break from editing and answering emails to blog a few sessions. This one in particular, I reference SO much when recommending locations to clients because the field is the most gorgeous I've ever seen it with plenty of tall grass and wildflowers, and these little girls are, of course, beyond adorable! You may remember the A Family from last fall, and these sweet sisters are getting so big and celebrated baby E's first birthday a few months ago. These girls are so cooperative and happy in front of the camera, which is pretty rare for one and three year olds! Enjoy their images! I know I do :)

The H family

Meet the H family! I just love this session for so many reasons. Of course, it's clear to see that they are GORGEOUS. They also agreed to come to one of my longtime favorite locations, which has never looked better! "My" field was bursting with awesomely overgrown grass and colored wildflowers. And the outfits Mama H chose are going down in history as one of my session favorites. The family neutrals were perfect (and not too matchy!) among the colors of the field, and the bright, fun dress that spunky EP wore for some of the images was an awesome splash of color! As you'll be able to tell, I had trouble narrowing down my session favorites :)
