Wrap Pics...

Hey everyone! I just thought I would let everyone know that I have been shopping and rummaging through Michael's family's antiques and have found tons of things to use for different sessions! I recently bought some different fabrics for "wrap" pics and to use for various other things! Of course we had to see how it looked in pictures, so we did some test shots w/ me and my girls! I think they turned out beautiful! We also found a lot more things to use in our upcoming Fall session! I have a lot more ideas for both boys and girls! So if you want in on the Fall and Christmas Sessions please email us w/ your information!

Christmas session...

I know its Summer but it's never too early to start thinking about Christmas and of course Christmas cards! I am going to set up one date for Christmas Sessions. Depending on the response we might make it two. The session will be Nov. 7th. (am) We will be doing outside pics at an old church in downtown Gurley. The session fee is $100.00 and it includes:

- one 8x10

- two 5x7's

- 8 wallets

- proofs

-25 custom x-mas cards w/ envelopes

You may purchase additional x-mas cards for $1 each. Spaces will be limited so if you are interested please email us to reserve your spot now!!!

Fall Sessions

We are trying to put together a weekend for Fall pics! We have it tentatively scheduled for Oct. 17 (Sat.) starting at 9am & Oct. 18 (Sun.) starting at noon. Here's our plan, we are going to set up an antique iron bed in the field beside our house! I am going to get some shabby chic bedding for it! I think it would be so cute to have a little girl dressed in something vintage and lying in the bed, jumping on the bed, playing w/ her baby dolls, & etc. My mind is racing w/ tons of ideas!! For those of you who have little boys, we are thinking of ideas for them too! We have a John Deere tractor that was Michael's when he was little. Also if you are a football fan, I think it would be so cute to dress them in your favorite teams attire! I am trying to come up w/ more ideas for the boys, so I will let you know about them soon! The Fall sessions will be $100 and that will include: up to 1 hour session, a mounted 11X14 (a $40 value), & all your proofs (a $150 value)!! If you are interested in setting up a Fall session, send us an e-mail w/ your info. I know it seems like a long time away, but it will be here before you know it!! (If you won a free session, it cannot be used for any of our Seasonal Sessions.)
Stay tuned to our blog for info. on our Christmas Sessions!!

Like Mother Like Daughter...

I so enjoyed taking these photos!! This is a beautiful mother and her daughter. Ok so I am biased. After all this is my wife Shannon and youngest daughter Ava but that's ok. We had to try and beat the rain we were ultimately able to get some good shots before it did. Aren’t these two ridiculously adorable together???

Brother and Sisters...

This is the first time I have photographed this brother and sister team. We spent a very long time at and around the park just having fun. I am sure everyone was exhausted by the end…I know I was…but still having fun. When siblings adore each other the way these do, you can get some fantastic shots. Thanks so much to the Spelce family for spending the afternoon with me...enjoy your session previews...
