Switch it Up! Custom photo High School Graduation Announcements

 When you have gorgeous senior portraits it's hard not to show them off just a little.  I love custom photo announcements.  It's an opportunity to share in the personality and joy of High School graduation even if you live miles away from the fun.

Graduation Party Invitation

Moms - I've been holding out on you.

Beautiful, tender photos of you and your children ~ aren't frivolous.  They're a necessity!  Because to your kids . . .  YOU are too indispensable to be omitted from their past.  

You don't want to miss this precious time. Life is fragile and the window we get to celebrate motherhood with these messy, silly and sometimes stubborn little people is small but it is also tender and sweet and filled with hope for a new day.   

I quietly celebrated a milestone last week, remembering the day 13 years ago that I was diagnosed with breast cancer.  My children at the time were 14 and 3.  I was stunned and devastated and ironically the first thing I thought of doing was having portraits taken of me with my children and family.  For my children, I wanted to make sure I was not an invisible part of their childhood just in case I wasn't blessed with the opportunity to be there to share in their birthday celebrations, skinned knees and first dates.  But God has blessed me with 13 Mother's Day celebrations and I have cherished every one. 

Moms - I guess you might say I've been holding out on you.  I have restrained myself every time a Mom says she doesn't want to be in photographs because she needs to lose 5 lbs or she needs to let her hair grow or get it cut because it's a mess.  I'm quietly sad when I talk to a family that has never taken the time to schedule family portraits.  I believe photographs give clarity to our memories and give us a sense of connectedness.  

MAMA & ME is a Mother's Day project designed to make sure you are not an invisible part of their childhood.  Schedule one of our 20 minute MAMA & ME portrait sessions of you and your child or children ~ showing off your warm, loving and playful relationship and we'll create a sweet keepsake gift for you.



You may select our Mother's Day necklace available ONLY in the month of May during our Mother's Day event. The necklace includes a photo charm on an 18" sterling silver snake chain with a dainty lead-free pewter and silver plated pendant charm or select the 7 1/2" Cable Link Charm bracelet with oval links and a slight rope texture in 100% sterling silver with a dainty lead-free pewter and silver plated photo charm.  

Call to schedule a MAMA & ME session or a family portrait session for yourself in honor a of  Mom that you love.

Baby's First Year Portraits

I love the 6 - 9 month session, in a Baby's First Year portrait plan.  

Children are so animated and interactive but can't get too far, too fast.  This precious little one is sitting up confidently and such a happy baby.  We were looking to create an image for a wall display to combine with one taken a few years ago of her big sister below.

What is it about kids & bunnies?

What is it about kids & bunnies that makes us all laugh?  I vow each year I'm not going to do this event again and yet when Spring rolls around I can't seem to help myself.

When the phone starts ringing and my clients remind me that our Spring "Live" Bunnies Photo Sessions are so much fun.  For me it's the joy on the kids faces that makes all the hauling and cage cleaning and hay in my hair and in my shoes and in my car worth it.  Not to mention there is something about Spring that beckons bright colors, hydrangeas and baby bunnies. 

This year was especially fun and we met so many sweet new families and of course we have become a tradition for so many families that well I guess I'm in for the long haul.  Don't miss it next year - one week only and yes we have limited sessions available.  I've already taken a few reservations for next year. 

Here are a few of our brave little animal handlers!

Senior Portraits & Graduation Announcements

Wondering if it's okay to mix black and white and color images on a senior graduation announcement - well of course it is.  Any beautiful image that you love from your session will work well with other beautiful images that you love.  Mix it up and have fun.  

Both images would make for a gorgeous front cover on this card.

Love, love, love Concept Senior Portrait Sessions. When seniors and parents come with unique & original ideas that fit their personalities.  This was a really fun session in downtown Jacksonville.  Yes, of course we travel just about anywhere in Jacksonville for portrait sessions.  Concept sessions are perfect for artsy students who do not want cookie cutter senior portraits. The first two images will be an a graduation announcement.
