{Charlotte Mini-Session Sneaks}

It's Memorial Day weekend, and I hope each of you are getting to enjoy it in some special way.  Thank you to all of you who have served our country.  I do mean that.

Yesterday I had the opportunity to go to Charlotte for some mini-sessions.  Such a pleasure to meet so many sweet people!  It was a warm, humid day, but everyone was such good sports about it.  I've got much to do in preparation for my own Memorial Day celebrating with my family, but here's just a quick teaser for these families...

{J: Class of 2011}

Just a sneak peak for high-school senior "J" and his parents :)  Thanks, you all.  SO great to meet you and see your beautiful house.  What an awesome location!  Congratulations, J, on this next big step in your life!



:)

Some photos make me smile.  Over and over and over again.  Dad and his daughters.  Love.It. :)

{WHOA}

Blue eyes + perfect late afternoon sunlight = WHOA ;)

{Deposits}

Unfortunately the deposit I require to secure your sessions is becoming a huge issue.  Lots of misunderstandings, hurt feelings, etc. on this subject.  If you just don't "get it", call me and we'll discuss it over the phone or in person (discussing through a million emails, texts, and Facebook messages doesn't always work).  If you don't have my phone number, email me yours, and I'll call you.

BE SURE to read the section on deposits under the "Investment" tab at the top of the page.  Like I said, if you don't understand it, contact me.  This is super important, y'all.  And if you can't afford to pay a deposit immediately, then let me know, and I'll work with you!  I'm not as mean as I may appear to be :) 

I've tried over and over to explain to you all how the deposits work and while a lot of you "get it", I'm surprised at the number of people who don't understand.  So, if you have questions, ask!  I'd prefer we discuss everything upfront then for there to be something we have to sort out later. 

Yes, I am writing this today because I had at least 3 people not understand the deposit subject.  Please don't hesitate to ask questions.  I love y'all and don't want anyone mad at me (I know, it's gonna happen) or frustrated with something that could've been avoided. 

Peace out.

{Monday Shots}

Some days my interest is in photographing a different sort of subject.



{Love Me Some Seriousness}

Nothing wrong with being serious in pictures.  I think it adds a whole different "air" to the images, and personally, I love serious faces.  Smiles are great.  So are no smiles.  You were awesome, "J".  Thanks!

To see more of the images from "J"'s session, find me on Facebook (or click on the 'Facebook' tab at the top of the page).

{Nephew "T" | 18 months}

Sweetness oozing from this little guy :)  And those big brown eyes?  *sigh*  Love you, sweet boy.

{"B" Family | Session Sneak}

I could've photographed this beautiful little girl all.day.long.  No joke.  She is not quite 7 months yet, but she acts like she's been in front of the camera for years (I hear mommy takes lots of pictures, as she should!).  Her parents were just as great!  Thank you, "B" family!  What a joy you all were.  Hope to see you again! 

{Blowing Bubbles}

Blowing Bubbles
by Ericka Northrop

Come with me; forget your troubles.
We'll take some soap and make some bubbles!
We can make them big or small;
It isn't very hard at all.
I can't be angry, sad or blue
When blowing bubbles-now, can you?
Just blow your blues into each one.
We'll watch them sparkle in the sun.
We'll send them out into the sky.
There go your troubles!
Poof!
Bye-bye.

{Friday Favorite}

I came across the image below (taken almost 10 months ago) as I was sorting through photos this morning.  One of my favorite photos to date.  I remember traffic going by (obviously) and thinking, "I want to capture something really cool".  And I love what I captured.  Happy Friday, all!

{Happy Tuesday}

I think Tuesdays often get forgotten in the week...you know, it's not the dreaded Monday, and it's not "hump" Wednesday and it's definitely not Friday.  So, here's to a very happy Tuesday to each and every one of you!  May your day be as bright & sweet as this cutie.

{May Specials}

2. In honor of Father's Day next month, book NOW *FOR THE MONTH OF JUNE* and receive the following special (this special is not valid if you book in June *for* June, make sense? heh)...full sessions for $65 (this is a $15 savings) and mini sessions for $30 (this is a $10 savings).

This beautiful little girl is special to me for many reasons, and I wanted to share just a few images from her session.  Mommy B, I hope you enjoy them :)

{June Special - IF you book in the month of May}

In honor of Father's Day next month, if you book NOW (during the month of May), get a full session for $65 ($15 savings) or a mini session for $30 ($10 savings).  This savings does not apply if you book in June for June.  You have to book during the month of May for June to get this special.  Make sense? :)  Contact me with any questions or to book a spot.  Weekends go FAST!  Looking forward to hearing from you!

{Wednesday Beauty}

Just a bit of beautiful to share with you all today.  Have I mentioned lately that I post a whole lot more on Boy & Girl Photography Facebook these days than I do on here? :)  I do...so check me out on Facebook!  Happy Wednesday!

{Monday-ness}

Hey everyone!  I hope you all have been having a fabulous Monday!  I'm one busy, busy, busy (did I mention busy?) lady these days.  Between lots o' photo sessions, taking care of my kids and trying to keep my house in some kind of order, my husband, kids and I are also getting ready to move to another house!  Wait, what's the point of trying to keep my house in order when I'm trying to pack?  Anywayyyyy...

My blog's kinda been pushed to the back burner, but don't forget - Boy & Girl Photography is on Facebook, and these days, that's the best place to see photos from my latest sessions. 

For now, here are some yummy baby feet :)
