'Tis the season....for holiday portraits!!!

I went shopping last week and actually saw Christmas decorations in the stores. Don't they know it isn't even Halloween yet!??

Yeah, but who am I foolin'? It is nice to know that you can get that pesky Christmas shopping done early, huh? Why not cross updating your family portraits off your to-do list?? You know you will be kicking yourself when you're clearing the Thanksgiving table, wishing you had booked in September.

And portraits make such great gifts for everyone in the family! Is Aunt Bee complaining that the last picture they've gotten is one of your 12-year old on the first day of kindergarten? Wouldn't you love to see a fresh picture of the family hanging in Grandma's house without your big hair? Imagine how cool you will look to your family and friends when they receive your custom holiday card featuring your portraits!

Beat the holiday rush with the special below! If you have any questions, just shoot me an email or give me a call! And while you're at it, why don't you head on over to Facebook so you don't miss any more specials!!

Heather, the Contest Winner

Remember back in April when I had my contest? Well, Heather won. A few weeks later, I met up with her --and her darling family-- so she could claim her prize!

Heather is married to her high school sweetheart and has two beautiful twin girls. Alani and Tegan are the first set of twins I've EVER photographed! And I couldn't believe how different they were despite looking exactly alike. (On a radom side note, Heather did give me the inside scoop on how to tell them apart. But for the life of me I couldn't remember which one was which so I had to study her Facebook pictures to make sure I had it right!)

I had an absolute blast with this family and loved the character in the girls. So cute!

Here are a couple of random facts about Heather:

• We used to work at the local newspaper together and had front-lobby conversations about anything...and EVERYTHING!
• We had a system in place of calling each other if we got stuck with an annoying customer.......or co-worker (even though our desks were 4 feet apart!!).
• She loves anything Lisa Frank.
• Her weakness is pens, pencils, and little note pads.
• One year, during our career at the newspaper, she got me a cute little box with an ornament in it for Christmas. I still have that box on my desk in my office. And the ornament still gets hung on my tree.

Hi Tegan!!

Alani and her dimple.

There is just something about a twins' bond that facinates me. Lovelovelovelovelove this!!!

Matilda Jane Trunk Show....the aftermath

So, some of you were dieing to see what cuteness you missed at the Matilda Jane Trunk (fashion) Show last weekend.

You missed the Stewart soda. In 3 flavors I might add.

You missed some incredibly cute girls strutting their stuff on our make-shift runway.
