I love these mini accordion albums.  Could be use for gifts to grandparents, senior year momentoes, birthday party invitations, thank you gifts – so many ideas!  I created this one from pictures I took of Abby for her 15th birthday.  I did color images on one side and black/white on the other.  I love the way it turned out!  One of the best features is that the cover and back are magnetic so it stays closed!  Love it!

I mentioned a few posts back that I actually met Riley the day before her family’s session when she tagged along with her friend, Haleigh for her session.  Having met Riley in advance really made the session a lot of fun.  Things seem to just “click” that much faster when you already know a child’s personality and have built some trust with them.  It was great to also meet her brother, Tyler, as well as her parents!    It was a beautiful evening (like so many of the ones we’ve had this summer) and I really enjoyed walking around the park and our time together.  

Just a few quick shots of Abby and Kate before we left the lake yesterday.  Talk about “real life” – unbrushed, wet, summer lake hair and all!

I cannot believe that I am down to my final three weeks of summer vacation!  Where did the time go?  Thank you to all the wonderful families that have scheduled with me this summer.  I am so lucky and blessed!

As I plan for returning to work and my kids’ school and activity schedules, I am also definitely thinking about my Fall photo session schedule.  I have already started booking into late September.  I do limit my sessions (although I am the WORST at saying “no”!) in order to keep my sanity.  But, I also know from the past few years, that the Fall is when many people start to think about Christmas cards and holiday pictures.  That is why I’ve decided to add “mini sessions” to my available options.  Pricing and details are included under the Investment tag on the blog.  But, the number of mini sessions per month are also limited!    I also like to plan ahead and know what to expect.  That’s why I’m offering at 20% discount on products/prints/CDs (excludes session fee) for anyone who contacts me by July 31 to set up a session this Fall!

I also have some really cute products to share and hope to get those images up here by tomorrow – so be sure to check back!

I am a total blogstalker!  I could spend hours visiting the many blogs of incredibly talented and creative women.  There are so many clever ideas out there!  Last week, I put a link to Catalog Living – very funny!  Here’s another fun link that I heard about today – clever, cute and adorable!: http://milasdaydreams.blogspot.com/

And a quick look at a session that has sneak peeks coming up soon!  I met Riley while photographing her friend, Haleigh (see below).  I had no idea that she was a member of the family that was scheduled the very next day!  It was terrific when she got out of the car and we’d already visited and taken a few pictures with Haleigh the day before!

So – call (or email) soon to book a Fall session and check back for sneak peeks and product updates!
