Wonderfully busy!

Hey y'all,

It's that wonderfully busy, crazy time of year! The school year is ending. Summer vacation starts very soon and everything is winding down. Most of the kids extra activities are coming to an end. Are you ready for a trip to the beach? Schedule your beach portraits today!

I have a limited number of senior sessions still available for the class of 2011! Call for your appointment today.

My husband and I recently celebrated our 17th anniversary. We spent a wonderful weekend in Chimney Rock, North Carolina. It was nice to get away and relax. I was inspired by all the natural beauty around us. Here are a couple of the pictures I took while there. Don't laugh at the last one - that is my husband and I in front of a 404 waterfall! We had been hiking for over 4 hours when that was taken, so I look exhausted. But the views were worth it!



After coming home feeling relaxed and recharged, I had the opportunity to shoot the Dance 1 Studios recital rehearsal pictures. 3400 pictures in about 8 hours! But it is always so much fun. Dance parents can pick up a sheet at the studio with the info on how to see their dancer's pictures. Contact me if you have any questions or would like to place an order! Oh and by the way, the adult dance was so much fun! Can't wait to see what Melodie has in store for us next year!



More pictures to edit! Better get busy!
Love ya!

So blessed!

Hi y'all,

This weekend was very busy with lots of special things. A very dear friend was graduated from Columbia College. We had a celebration for her Saturday night! And Sunday was Mother's Day. Last night, as I was getting ready to go to bed, I realized just how blessed I am. I have an amazing husband, wonderful kids (even when they are picking at each other), great friends (yes, Cindy and MaryJo I am talking about you) and a terrific family (in laws very much included in that too). I am so blessed because I get to do something I love for a living. Life is good and I want to thank God for that.

I have been busy editing and ordering. I love all the new speciality products! Coffee mugs, travel mugs, license plates, dog tags, clipboards and calendars! Great gifts! Father's Day will be here before you know it. And there are lots of graduates too! Let me design a poster with your graduate's picture. Then the family and friends can sign it at the graduation party! It is a great way to preserve those memories.

The Baby and Child Contest is going on for one more month! Schedule those appointments now!

Also, I will be at Airport's graduation next month. I will do my best to get as many pictures of the graduates as I can and post them on Facebook. I have really enjoyed getting to know some of Airport's amazing students. I wish the Seniors of 2010 all the best. May you soar to new heights as you move on with life. Go Eagles!

There are a limited number of Senior Sessions for the class of 2011! Call to set up your session now. I have a some scheduled already and can't wait to get to those this summer!

And just so you know, my husband and I will be celebrating our 17th anniversary this coming weekend in North Carolina. I am not taking any work with me. I am trying to get everything finished before I go. I guess I had better get busy!

Love ya!
Kris

Happy Mother's Day!

Hi y'all,

Where is this year going? Mother's Day is this Sunday! And that means summer will be here before we know it! Need a gift for Mom? How about a gift certificate for portraits? We can make the portraits in the studio or on location. Have a favorite park or is the backyard beautiful? We can take them there. Going to the beach this summer? I will be happy to come and take your portraits there too!

I also have a variety of great gift items including jewelry with your pictures, coffee mugs, license plates, travel mugs, mouse pads, playing cards, clipboards and many more!

Remember the 2010 Baby and Child Contest is going on through June 15th! It is open to little ones up to age 12. This is a national contest with cash prizes. Call to set up your appointment today.

Also, there is a limited number of Senior Sessions for the class of 2011! These sittings are different from the traditional yearbook sitting. I will spend several hours with your senior capturing his or her personality in the senior portraits. It will be a truly unique experience. Call to schedule your appointment now!

I have lots of pictures to edit and orders to place, so I had better get busy!

Love ya!
