November Special

The fall colors have been beautiful and now the snow is soon to cover our ground. Many took advantage of the golds and reds that were everywhere for their family portraits. There is still plenty of time to get your family portraits done before Christmas and to get your Christmas cards ordered.

The special for November is 10% off any portrait collection and 2 free 8x10's of your choice. Christmas cards are fun and individually created for each family. Call to schedule your appointment.

Heritage Makers Pick of the Month

Hello friends,
I have got involved with an amazing company that I am excited about. With the economy going the way it has for the past few years, I know many of you want to do-it-yourself. Heritage Makers offers an amazing program that you can take images and create your own beautiful family scrapbooks. Family heritage pictures as well as current pictures need to be recorded for your family to have and enjoy for many years to come.

Family portraits are very important, but without the stories to go along with them, they can only be pictures. Every month I will be offering specials with my photography business and also heritage makers will be offering different sales and they can go hand in hand.

My web site for Heritage Makers is www.pagesoflegacy.com

Check it out and call to set up your appointment for a family session.

Welcome Spring

All of us should be ready for a teddy_bear picnic. I am looking forward to spring and flowers and sunshine. Soon my yard will become a wonderland of colors and flowers. In the mean time, my residential studio works great. My photography business brings me alot of joy. I love what I do. Photography should be more than just a picture, it should be timeless art. Childhood passes quickly and the time to capture the innocence of youth is a small window of time.

Happy Ground Hog Day and Happy Valentines Day. I don't know about all of you, but I enjoy the warm weather and sunshine. Punxsutawney Phil has predicted 6 more weeks of winter. With the breaking news I guess we better settle in and enjoy the snow, cold and wind that blesses our area.

• In celebration of February I am offering 8 x 10's for $28.
  
• My sitting fee will be $14.00 for the month.

** Valentine Special - one week only ( February 14Th - 20Th) - 1 - 8x 10 and 8 wallets $20.00

The tragedy in Haiti has driven all of us the reach a little deeper to help. My prayers are with the people there and also the workers who are giving so selflessly to help in any way they can.

Merry Christmas in the eyes of a child

I love the eyes of Children especially this time of year. They sparkle and warm the heart. This is one of my beautiful grandsons. Even though it is not a posed image, it makes my heart smile to see his eyes full of childhood wonderment. I love children they are what keeps us all grounded. This year, my wish is all of you can find peace and love in the eyes of the children. They are full of love and joy. I know there are many who's parents have had a bad run of luck this year, but I hope the children will find joy and warmth this season and always. I hope with all my heart that the children of the world are happy and loved.

In the words of a wise man, Francis Pharcellus Church, "Yes, Virginia there is a Santa Claus". I encourage all of you who have forgotten the meaning of Christmas to look around and find someway to bring the true spirit of the season back to our hearts. The meaning of giving far exceeds the monetary gifts that are given. The gifts of ourselves are what will make this world a happy place to live.

"No Santa Claus! Thank God! he lives, and he lives forever. A thousand years from now, Virginia, nay, ten times ten thousand years from now, he will continue to make glad the heart of childhood." Francis Pharcellus Church
