Referral Rewards

As you may or may not know, almost all of my advertising is done by word of mouth. In order to keep prices down, I do not spend tons of money on advertisements. Instead, I would rather reward my clients for spreading my name around.

So, for a limited time, I am offering a Referral Rewards program.

How does it work?

Refer your friends and family to book a portrait session with me. If they contact me to book a session before April 15th, 2007, they will receive $5 off a $100 print order, $15 off a $250 print order, $30 off a $500 print order, or $50 off a $1000 print order.


What’s in it for you?

For every 4 clients you refer to me, you will receive a $100 print credit toward your next session when you order $200 or more in prints.

The Fine Print
*Session fees are payable upon booking the session.
**Referring clients $100 print credit will only be applied after referred client has completed their session.

Referral Reward program must be mentioned at time of booking.

Print Credits cannot be used for past sessions. All sessions must take place by July 1st, 2007 to qualify for the Referral Rewards Program.

Thanks for your support!

brand new

I had the pleasure of photographing perfect, little, tiny N. What can I say, but that this little sweetie stole my heart! He was just so content and barely fussed at all. Mom, you're so blessed! He's a great baby! Here's the first few proofs to tide you over until the rest are complete...

bears at the beach

These two bears were full of energy and were just loving being at the beach! I had a great time chasing them around and even though we couldn't get them to hold hands for mom, surely you will love them. Here's a little sneak peek until I can finish up the rest of the proofs.

Introducing Collections

I decided I finally want to offer photo collections. When I first started this about a year ago, I thought collections were limiting, and I didn't want to do them. I thought by offering only individual prints, I was doing my clients a favor - giving them the freedom of choice. Now that my head is no longer stuck in the clouds, I realize that collections are a good thing!

I am still going to offer prints individually, but now, you can save money when you purchase a collection. Not only are the prints within the collection discounted, but you can also receive 25% off the A La Carte prints when you choose to order a collection. Another great thing about collections is how they somewhat give you direction in what to order - if you want that kind of thing... Oh, and, almost forgot to add, the more you spend, the more you save.

If you have recently done a session with me, you can take advantage of these collections, just let me know when you order so I know to give you the discount. I'll probably be pretty easy going about this and if I identify that you managed to order a collection without even knowing it, you'll get it. I just hope I catch it! So check out my pricing page for my collections if you're interested.

Happy February

It's been quite a while since I've posted anything here. The emotional storms of life sometimes come down harder than others, so between lots of things happening in my family and all the holiday chaos and viruses, I've been quite busy with my own life. But January is finally over, and February is already here! I'm ready for this new year and I'm ready to take control and get a move on things.

First a little news: You may have noticed already, I've increased my rates in hopes that this year will be quite successful. But every month I will be offering some sort of special and I have lots of fun ideas in mind, as well, like maybe a photo contest of sorts! Those of you that know me well know that I currently work full time as a technical writer and I still find time to do this photography thing. It's something I love or I probably wouldn't be doing it. I hope to one day do so well with this photography thing that I can quit the technical writer thing one day. Also, over the next day or so I hope to give my website a new look.

Now, on to the good stuff, recent favs:

Nothing more precious...

Little J, you make me miss the baby days of my little one! You were so sweet and darling, truly the joy of your mommy and daddy's life! I loved your chubbiness and your sweet little smile!

Here's some more from the session...

Family, so sweet...

You guys were so fun and lively! The love the three of you share is amazing! And little E, wow! Can I just say how handsome and sweet he is? I know it was a tough session with the weather being so chilly, and getting slammed by a wave in the first five minutes isn't exactly what I had in mind; but you know, we didn't let that get us down, and all in all, I think we had a great time!


Until we meet again...

Grace and Katie

These girls were amazing and it was a pleasure to spend the evening with them, watching them run and play in the sand and water on the last evening before daylight savings.
Grace - you are beautiful! I'm so happy that we could be friends and talk about princesses and other important things! Katie - you are so sweet! And of course, Denise - like I said before, what a trooper you were!
I can't wait til we meet again... Here's some more from the session...
