Shooting Star Photography

For the past 3 years, I have held Holiday mini sessions, and they are always a big hit! In fact, last year, I didn’t get a chance to announce them because they booked up in just a day or so from word-of-mouth! They are always a fun time and a great value for my clients. I LOVE getting a holiday card back from them too (hint, hint)!

I’ve already had quite a few requests, so I thought I’d go ahead publish the details! I know it’s not even July yet, but it’s never too early to plan, right?

I will be doing 2 days of Holiday mini sessions -

• Atlanta - Saturday, October 23rd
• Birmingham - Saturday, October 30th

What is included:

• 30 minute mini session
• 25 press printed holiday cards (for 50 cards, add $25)*
• 10-15 digital files with print release
• $225

Half of the session fee reserves your spot! The other half is due at the time of the session.

I will also be offering 1 day of Santa mini sessions -

• Birmingham - Sunday, November 7th

What is included:

• 15 minute mini session with THE REAL Santa
• 5-10 proofs

Half of the session fee reserves your spot! The other half is due at the time of the session.

Good luck!.

Wow, what a fun time I had with my mini sessions at my home this year! I love these families and children. Unfortunately it seemed to fly by in an instant! I wanted to hold the babies and play with the kids!

Here are some of my favorites, and you can find more on my facebook fan page!

Thanks to all my 2009 Holiday mini session families! Don’t forget to check out the card collection that was included with your package!

Holiday Card Collection

All proofs are expected to be ready between November 25 - 29th!

Did you realize it’s already November!!??

It came as quite a shock to me too… but I got used to the idea really fast with some fun Santa mini-sessions today! It was an absolutely BEAUTIFUL day with perfect weather!

Most of the kids loved Santa and enjoyed visiting with him…

Some even felt comfortable enough to share their catalog wish-lists with him!

While others were more curious about his authenticity… and once convinced, posed sweetly with their siblings!

So you better be good -

Or not… Of course my child decided to be the most difficult of the day!

Later that evening, all we heard was, “Where’s Santa Claus?”  So funny!

Special thanks to Andy Easterling of  Grandview Financial for organizing this event. I’d say it was a huge success and I hope to do it again next year!

Merry Christmas little man!

I realize it’s a little late to be posting this, but I wanted to get this out there for consideration next year while I had the picture and it is on my mind.

I have ordered lots of 5×7 photo cards for clients this year and they have all looked great! I have also ordered some press printed cards for a few clients and some for my own family’s Chirstmas card, and wow, I do have to say they are very impressive.

They really make a statement. My husband was so impressed with them, he said we could spend the extra money on them every year now. Yay! For those of you that know him, you must know that means these are fantastic!

Here is the front, back, and inside of our 2008 Christmas card. All of my card templates can be completely customized for text and color! I’m thrilled to send these out this year.

Happy Holidays!

I wanted to post a quick sneak peek to show you all the beautiful kids I had the fortunate opportunity to work with this weekend! Gorgeous, smiley children and fantastic weather. I can’t wait to get the rest to their parents. Look for your proofs later this week!

Thanks again, everyone, for a wonderful weekend!

I held my first mini session of the season in Atlanta last weekend. The good people at Atlantic Station gave me exclusive permission (which I shared with Jody on Sunday for her sessions!) to have access to their ENORMOUS and beautiful Christmas tree. The official lighting of the tree is November 22nd where they will have snow and everything! So go check out Atlantic station if you missed out on a mini session to see this gorgeous tree!

All of my clients for Saturday were repeat customers of those I’ve had throughout the year (a couple I have now shot 3x’s this year!) ! It was so fun to see how much they’ve grown and learned over the time!

Aren’t these guys adorable? I see some very cute holiday cards in their future. For a reminder of my options available - follow this link!

It was so much fun, even though it was cold! Thanks to my wonderful assistants who helped the day go off without a hitch! I look forward to 2 packed days of mini-session in Birmingham this weekend!

Don’t forget to submit your hoilday card orders by next Wednesday in order to have them in time for address and delivery intervals. Thanks again!

Drew is 2 1/2 and is all boy and too cute! He brought his parents to my house today too for a little holiday session and I love how happy and content he was and how much his parents love him!!!

His mommy, Allison, proclaimed she’d never wait in a waiting room full of screaming kids at the chain photography place for Christmas pictures again, after seeing how much fun Drew had and how easy it was! Music to my ears!

Thanks again, Allison, Dave, and Drew! See you soon!
