Erika

I photographed sweet little Erika on Saturday. What a little sweetie. She loved to be cuddled, but hated to have her feet touched!

Our not yet here little girl!!! Lord willing, she will be here sometime in early February! We can't wait to meet her!

Invites

Just did these fun invites!

Fall Deals!!!

So, we have alot going on in the next few months. So, Mark Your Calendars.

Fall Portrait Promo October 22 - 25

Fall is my favorite time of the year, so of course, my favorite time to photograph in the great outdoors! The colors are amazing, so they provide a great backdrop for portraits. We will be doing 4 days of sessions, with 2 separate locations. There will be NO SITTING FEES for these sessions. Each session will receive a COMPLIMENTARY 8x10 from their session. In Addition anyone who orders 25 Greeting Cards will receive 10 FREE GREETING CARDS with their order. Great for Christmas or Happy Thanksgiving Cards!

Thursday October 22, and Sunday, October 25 we will shoot portraits at the red bridge in Old Appleton. This is a beautiful location and the waterfall in the background is so pretty! This will be best for families who want something a little more contemporary, with more of a summery feel. Just a note: we do have to walk down a 'rustic' path, so this won't work well for anyone whose a bit unstable on their feet!

Friday, October 23 and Saturday, October 24 we will shoot portraits in the Perryville Park. The leaves and woodsy feel are great for those who want a little more of a traditional family portrait. Wheel chairs and unsteady steppers should have no problem with this location.

Both of these sessions will provide great images to update your walls with new Family or Children Portraits. They'll also make great Christmas Gifts!

Children's Christmas Promo

Thursday, November 19 thru Saturday November  21 

Christmas Setting for Kids Christmas. Computer View and Purchase your portraits that day, and receive them before Christmas. As always, we don't know the design of our backdrop yet, but it will be something new and different than we've ever had in previous years!

Call the studio at 517-0808 to set up your appointments! Weekend appointments will fill first, so call soon and get the time that works best for you!

Spring Promos

VILP and Bugs n Bows!

Our VILP(very important little person) Club has been very ver popular over the past few years!
 We love to see all 'our kids' grow up!  But, that's the problem... 'our kids' are growing up! We've decided to create a club that will take them through the next phase of life! The Bugs n Bows Club. What a fun stage of life. Boys are venturing out, getting dirty and capturing bugs. Girls are all about being a princess, decked out in pretty bows!
We know that know that they are in school, they get an annual school photos, but does that really show off their personality? Check out the BnB Club!

** You don't need to have been a VILP Member to join our BnB Club!
** Coming Soon! Tweens 2 Teens Club!!!

Trenton

Samm recently did Trenton's portraits for his 1 year session... he KNEW he was in front of the camera and was apparently quite the little ham!

Jaylen, Dayton and Dexter

What a fun session this was!!!






I'm LOVING these kids!!!

Micah

Another VILP in for his 9 month session!

Nate

Here's Nate!!!

Ayda

Last week I photographed Ayda's 3 year session. She was really shy at first, but after a little while, we had so much fun!

Louis and Marie Anna Theiss

10 years ago my Grandma Theiss fell over a railing. She landed on her head on concrete two flights of stairs down. After many surgeries and close calls, she's doing pretty well now 10 years later. She lives in a nursing home and is wheelchair bound, but is still incredibly smart... she actually tested off the charts in an IQ test at one point in her life!!!

Anyways, it's time for their churchbook in Farrar to come out. It doesn't really work well to take her to get her pictures taken, and it would be difficult to get a good one in the rush of all the churchbook photos. So, we brought her over to the studio and took a few of her and my Grandpa. The 'sneaky' thing is.. Samm is standing behind Grandma and holding her up! Anyways... here's one of them!

Adeline Birth Announcement

We also did Birth Announcements for Adeline!

Adeline

We recently photographed Adeline's newborn session. I shot her parents wedding 2 years ago... she was just 3 days shy of being born on their anniversary! She was a little Val's Day baby and oh so cute!!!

Blake

Blake came in Tuesday for his 9 month session. Another little VILP Buddy with awesome blue eyes. He was so cuddly too! I picked him up at one point and he just snuggled right up to me... It was great!

Carson

Samm recently photographed Carson's 9 Month Session. Carson is another one of our VILP members, so we see him every 3 months!
This kid has got some Rockin' Baby Blues too!

Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep

   Recently, I was accepted as a Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep (NILMDTS) Volunteer Photographer. It's a group of photographers who take portraits of  very special groups of people... all at no charge. The groups that fall under the guidelines to receive free sessions and the files of the portraits (with a copyright release to them) of the foundation are:

~Pre-mature babies (usually very pre-mature... under 5 lbs)
~Babies who are born with a terminal illness
~Children and Teens on Hospice (under 18 years of age)
~Babies who have passed before, during or shortly after birth
 *Foundation guidelines state a 25 week gestation or later. Most photographers (including myself) will take portraits of any baby earlier than 25 weeks who has developed fairly well.
~Mothers who would like maternity portraits after they have received the news that their babies will not survive after birth.

   This is a relatively new type of photography, the foundation itself is only 4 years old. While the passed baby type of photography may seem unusual to some people, those who have lost a baby  may only have those few precious memories of their little one. After my recent loss, I realized just how important this would have been to me had I been able to see my baby.

   Anyone may go to the foundation website and see exactly what we do. NILMDTS 

   Everything that we do for these babies and their families is free of charge. Each family will also receive a CD of high-res files that they may do what they wish with. Volunteer Photographers may be contacted by individual families, or hospitals, either is fine.  I will be serving the Perryville, Cape, Chester and Ste. Gen areas.

  Now that the 'technical' information is out of the way, allow me to just talk about it. This foundation was introduced to me over a year ago. I debated back and forth about whether or not to apply to be a photographer for the foundation. While this is a growing charity, with more that 1,000 volunteer photographers, the foundation does stress that this is not the right thing for every photographer to do. It is very difficult for members to photograph these babies, and many photographers have had to quit the foundation because it was too emotionally difficult for them.

   That is the reason that I debated for so long. I finally decided to apply at the end of 2008. I was accepted, and have been in touch with Perry County Memorial Hospital to inform them of the charity, and that it is now available in our area. The hospital itself is not contracted or advertising me in any way, simply helping to inform parents that this service is available. I will also be contacting other area hospitals. But, hospitals are not the only ones who may contact me. Anyone who knows someone who may be in need of these services may contact the studio and we will set up a time with them for whatever session they are in need of! Hospitals will have my cell phone # to contact me should a need arise at 3am (yes, that does happen to many photographers!)

   If anyone has any questions about this foundation, I'm more than happy to answer questions. I feel as though I'm just rambling now, but I feel so strongly about this, that I wanted to share the basics of NILMDTS. As I said before, you may look at the website and see a large handful of babies who have been photographed. But, please be warned, you may need a kleenex, and have your children, especially younger ones, in a different room, the website is quite sad.

Easter Promo Portraits

Thank You

This is just a little note to say Thank You all for your care and concern (and patience) for me over the past month. It's very heartwarming to me to have such wonderful clients (friends).

For those of you who are unaware, at the end of January, my husband and I lost our baby at 13 week along. We were due early August and very excited. Though the dr.s were unable to determine our baby's gender, we have named him/her Taylor Reece.

This has been a very hard time for us and we are so greatful that so many people were sending prayers our way. We will miss our Taylor everyday!

Thank You again!

Happy First Birthday Owen

Recently Samm photographed Owen's 1 Year Session... He's such a Cutie!!!

Kyle David's Thank You Cards

Henry Klaus

Henry is the newborn son of Kris and Kristen. What a cutie!!

Kyle David Theiss

So, I recently got to photography Kyle. Kyle is the new baby boy of my cousin Jason and his wife Beth. Jason and Beth and Bobby and I spend so much time together. It's so fun for us to get to be around them so much with a new baby, as we will have one joining us in August! I photographed their engagements and wedding a couple of years ago, and it was so much fun to take Kyle's portraits!
