Auddie!

Posted on August 22, 2009

I’m finally getting around to uploading some pictures from Auddie’s session last week. She’s a junior in high school and a lot of fun to work with. She has the most beautiful eyes and hair, don’t you think? I got to play with my Roman background again and we had some fun trying out a few things I haven’t had a chance to do yet. This was also one of the first sessions in my new studio!

Speaking of the new studio, after doing some test runs in it, I’ve decided that it will be too small for most family portraits. I can do small families (probably 3 or 4 people) and cannot guarantee full body length photos. For larger families, I still have options, though! I do have permission to use the front of the salon I’m located in on days when she doesn’t have any appointments. Those slots will be filled quickly once the holidays come, so if you want to do that, let me know ASAP. I will of course still travel to your home (or other location) for family photos, and that is always an option!

Last note for the day… I know that no one wants to hear this, but there are only 4 months left until Christmas! Yes, we are starting to get Christmas stuff in at my day job. And yes, it is rather disgusting! LOL I’ve always recommended getting family photos taken care of in August and September for several reasons. The biggest ones being that we still have our summer tans (if we can call this a summer this year!!!) and it’s much easier to get it done early before the rush hits!

Sometime this week I’m going to be announcing my holiday special. I think it will be a good one based on feedback I’ve received over the last few years!

Starting to move in, tonight!

Posted on August 11, 2009

Ready for the big news I’ve been hinting at? I’m THRILLED to announce that I will now be able to offer studio sessions in addition to home sessions! I’m renting some space from Head East Salon here in Crookston where I will be able to have a studio set up. Now you can choose the best option that works for you. The convenience of having me come to your home, or the ability to come to a studio and not worry if your house is big enough or if you left dishes in the sink! LOL

As of right now, I am limiting the studio sessions to children, but once I get more familiar with the space, I may be able to open it up to small families.

Kari from Head East Salon has been awesome to work with. I have taken pictures of her family and children before, and she is a great stylist as well!!! Very friendly and fun to be around. I know many people who take their families to her for their hair cut and style needs. And she is very generous in allowing me to use her space!

I’ll post pics of my new studio space once I get everything set up.

YAY!!!

Paige!

Here’s some pictures I did of Paige before I left for vacation. I just ran out of time to get them posted! Paige let me do some fun things, and I got to try out the background I won in a contest in June. It’s called Roman, and is really neat! I can’t wait to try some more shots with it!
