SANTA is coming..........

Photobucket

Photobucket

And I'm sooooo excited about it!

Now for a lil while I've been telling everyone it was the weekend after Thanksgiving, but it's actually the weekend before. So November 20th & 21st.

This will be the only weekend, I will be having Santa here and the Christmas set up.

Photobucket

Limited Edition Mini Session

SANTA

November 20th & 21st

$85
1 ~ 8 x 10
2 ~ 5 x 7s
3 ~ 4 x 6s
8 wallets

Includes sitting fee for one person.
$10 per additional person in package.
Package includes one pose.
Additional Prints available at a la carte prices.

I do anticipate that this will get completely booked. So to ensure that all spots scheduled get used, there will be a $20 deposit upon booking. The deposit will be applied to your Santa order. The deposit is non-refundable, no exceptions :D However if something comes up or your child gets sick you can give you spot to a friend :D

Session will last 10-15 minutes!

The session will have pics with and without Santa, just in case your kid(s) freak out! hahah And If you want to do a family pic, you can.

So you will have a regular Christmas pic and then with Santa.

ANNNNNDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD the neat thing about this will be, your kids don't have to know Santa is gonna be here! lol Sneaky Sneaky. It should make for some pretty interesting reactions! lol But you know your child best, so if you feel like you need to prep them, then go ahead. I've been prepping my niece Emma for awhile now cause she hasn't heard about him in almost a year. She told me a few days ago, it's not Christmas time, she wasn't ready to see Santa yet! Too bad! hahahah She's gonna have to take her pic before she goes Trick or treating, how confusing is that!



What colors would I wear??

~ I think jewel tones will work the best. Blacks, browns, whites & creams will also be very pretty. I would also love to see rich fabrics, taffeta, velvet, organza, satins.... Smocked dresses will work too but I would love to see texture since the background is so rich.

Also pajama's would be cute. And Winter Coats, cause kids coats are so stinking cute!

Can I order Christmas Cards with Santa pics??

~ Yes you can. And I actually just posted a blog all about Christmas Cards. Turn around time for Cards for this session will be different from Regular sessions. The Cards will be ready for December 3rd.

What if all my Santa pics are crying??

~ wellll it's gonna happen to someone! lol And I think it'll make for some pretty funny Christmas cards! hahah But hopefully we'll get some good ones prior!


If would like an appointment for SANTA or have any questions please feel free to call me @ 939-2062

Thanks looking forward to this :D

Added Nov 2nd...
So Santa came this and it was magical!! I felt like a child starring up at him, it was pretty exciting for me & Emma! Poor thing had to take her Santa pic on Halloween! lol I'm sure it was more than confusing for her, cause she walked in and said.... "is it Christmas time today?" hahah She was prepared for Santa when she got here but her mom told her he wasn't here yet. So for her individual shots she has a forced smile, so I'm not gonna post those hahah. Then Santa walked in behind her and she jumped off the bench and grabbed her moma's leg. hahah All it took was a sucker to cooperate though!

Then it was MY turn! yay! Emma got to watch as I talked to Santa and told him what I wanted for Christmas!

Photobucket

Photobucket

When Santa left Emma said... "Santa was so sweet to me! I just love Santa"
And then talked about him ALL day, I think she totally forgot about Trick or Treat!lol

And the funny thing is I realized that I've met Santa 5 yrs ago!

More about the session..........

I originally was gonna put up my Christmas tree for this set, but now and thinking it'll be too much. And really crowed in there. I like the way it turned out so will keep it similar, maybe add a few things.

I also have told a few parents if they want to bring a toy for Santa to give their kids, they can. I'm sure It'll make for a cooperative child and make the whole experience more magical! A big lollipop did wonders for Emma! lol

I do have some spots left but this session will completely book up, so if you want a spot please call me @ 939-2062

I'm soooo excited!!

Tiger Rock ~ 2010

It was so fun to see all the lil tigers dressed in their purple & gold for Tiger Rock!!

Tiger Rock was alot of fun, and I especially had a good time designing the set. I painted the backdrop, alot of accessories, the tiger chair & all those boxes, designed the floors AND I even designed one of the LSU stickers being sold at stores. :D

Photobucket

I'm so glad I painted this stepstool, cause kids loved climbing and it looked like they were posing :D
