Congratulations to Eric, Reagan, Erika, and Maycee Parr on the arrival of Kanyen Walter Parr!!! Warning slide show is a little bit graphic.  Kanyen was born by C-section…If you have problems getting it to load click Here!

This last week (or two) have been absolutely crazy!  I have been MIA-no blog, no Facebook, no Twitter, no time!  I apologize-I am behind on sneak peeks something terrible.  Maybe just maybe I can get a grip NEXT week!!!  I did get our preview sample collages ready for our Dance By Design recital in between all of the craziness.  Watcha’ think??  I LOVE white SO much and I have had several requests from clients that would like to do dance portraits or sports portraits- that during the month of May I have decided that I am going to leave the all white set up in the big room.  More details to come later but the plan is to offer these collages at their special pricing during the month of May only-for those that don’t participate at Dance By Design.  We will have some special walk in times for dance, sports, or anything you little heart desires.  Anything looks good on white!  Bright colors, plaids, polka dots THIS is the time that we can really go all out!!  I am working on a really fun simple prop that will look awesome too.  That is all I can say for now but stay tuned.

Tomorrow I am photographing the wedding of Miss Tayla Trarbach and Mr. Trevor Sanders!!  We are going to have so much FUN!!!  Keep your fingers crossed for some awesome weather-slightly overcast would be great and wind YOU can just stay AWAY!!!

Some of you may have noticed that our “Mommy & Me” gallery is UP!  I have been trying to add groups as we go along.  Some details that I thought you should know…

• To order the Feature Presentation…Click on “Packages & Collections” .  This is right below where you would normally add an Ala Carte image.  At the top of this menu you will see our Feature Presentation, the “Mommy & Me”.  It is pretty self explanatory from here.   Two things that you want to remember…you will need to specify your border color AND you will need to specify whether you want the actual image in black and white or color.
• IMPORTANT:  These images have gone up so quickly due to the fact that they are pretty much straight out of camera.  Your finished prints, whatever you order- will be completely edited including scratches, blemishes, blotchiness, etc.
• Your order will not be processed without PAYMENT IN FULL.  It just takes a couple of people to place an order, even confirm by phone and then NOT pick  up or to place an order make a minimum deposit and THEN wait weeks or months (or never) to pick it up-to ruin it for everyone.  Most all of you are wonderful about being timely with your orders, payments and pickups but a couple who weren’t so wonderful ruined it for everyone.  Once I place the order with the lab I have to make payment and I can’t get a refund.   Therefore this policy will be enforced.  You may make payment online when checking out, by mail, in person or by calling CC info into the studio.
• You will not be notified when your order is ready for pick up.  However you may plan on picking your finished prints  ABOUT 2 weeks from when payment is received.  Keep in mind weekends and holidays please.  My work flow has changed a bit.  In the past I edited each and every image.  I tried to really narrow down to about 30 proofs.  Mini sessions had about 6 proofs.  Once you placed your order I pulled the file up and I was ready to order with my lab.  NOW the proofs go online with very basic editing.  What this means is that you must allow additional time (reason why I say two weeks now) for me to edit fully your ordered images before I place your order with the lab.   What this also means is that I normally show quite a few more images since I am not editing each and every one.  If you are in a rush for your order please give me a call and I will see what I can do.
• ONE last thing…order the FEATURE PRESENTATION and receive a 20% discount off of your other ala carte purchases from the cart!
