Yep. You read it. We’re mixing things up a little this year… don’t worry, fear not, Santa will still be here in November BUT, this year we are offering Christmas in July {outdoor} family sessions!

If you are like most of us, the holiday season is pure CHAOS! Between parties, shopping, out of town guests, family and the hustle and bustle of the season, the last thing you want to worry with is getting the family together (okay, the husband) for family portraits! SO, DON’T DO IT! And we all know how the money is stretched thin during the holly jolly time.

Break away from the red and green card with your screaming child in Santa’s lap!! Send something that your family can keep forever. Our custom {holiday} cards feature up to 3 images on the front with wording then a full-sized frame-able image on the back. This way your card not only tells your loved ones happy holidays but, they also have a gift print too!

———————————————————————————————–

30 minute outdoor FAMILY {mini} sessions Friday, July 23rd and Saturday, July 24th

{mini} sessions are $50 and have {NO} clothing changes

We do ask that you come dressed and ready for your session as there will be no where to change once you arrive.

When was the last time you had a family portrait?

Call the studio to schedule…. 256.686.1516.

We have officially settled into our new digs!! Our new address is 117 2nd Avenue SE, Decatur, AL 35601… literally a block up the street. We miss our old neighbors already but, our new studio is fantastic!

Also, the new studio is home to the Storybook {boutique}! The boutique features hand-made pieces from local mama’s… such as appliqued, monogrammed and stamped dresses, tee-shirts, bloomers and 2-piece outfits. We also have an amazing selection of boutique style funky hairbows and frilly tutus. And if it’s frames you are looking for… you HAVE to stop by and see the handmade frames! Ah-May-ZING! The coolest thing about the boutique is that you can buy off the rack or order custom pieces to match your child’s ball team or their bedroom or get a tutu set for their 1st birthday photo session! Here’s just a few pieces from the boutique and there are more arriving daily!

Know someone who might be interested in offering their pieces in the boutique?? Send them our way… 256.686.1516.

I am super excited about my new assistant, Cassie! She rocks my socks off. She’s taken me from a hot mess to almost nearly sort of organized… well, she at least has me on the right track! Tell her hey, the next time you call the studio!

Come see us!!

Sing it with me now…

Sweet Lucy Bell is 3 months old! She is growing like a little weed and all smiles… well, all smiles when we were outside.

Watch out ya’ll… there’s all these new “photogs” running around town so the competition is fierce!! But, I’ve found the youngest!

I had such a laugh at this sweet little boss lady… Miss M, she’s gonna take my job! Not only did she bring her own camera, but she also set up her own shots, directed “her” clients and told me her “assistant” what to do! I love it!!

It’s kind of awesome to see friends all grown up having babies. Even if you haven’t seen these friends in years, it’s still amazing to see them with their children.
