I had taken pictures of *M* for her first birthday in the spring. Liza wanted to schedule a family session for the end of August in Mansfield – I was so excited!

We met on Sunday the 30th of August in the back alley that I LOVE!

I LOVE that picture – it’s the background on my desktop right now!

Thanks again *H* fam! I had a great time with you guys! Check out their complete collection in the gallery!

When I have all my sessions done – I find that I am SO bored!

Here are a few more of Erica I created!

THANK YOU SO MUCH ERICA!

Erica is such a sweet girl! We had so much fun chatting and figuring out great spots on campus to shoot.

Erica is also Wendi’s daughter so we did a joint engagement/senior session. I brought Joy B with me and she took Erica while I had Shawna & Kris and then we switched.

Erica was such a natural in front of the camera!

Thanks so much Erica! Can’t wait to see what shot you pick for the yearbook!

Somehow my favorite photo from *K*’s session got left out …

I bought two dresses at the thrift shop in Wellsboro a few weeks ago and put a bulletin on FACEBOOK for a model! *K* replied right away and the dresses fit her perfectly.

We got together Sunday night – with the sky looking very angry – but it made for GREAT pictures!

We were fighting with the rain in that last shot – and couldn’t finish the shoot – but I am happy with what I got!

Thanks again *K* – I appreciate your willingness to model for me!

CHRISTMAS!

From now until November 15th I am offering a CHRISTMAS SPECIAL!

I have been working on this idea for some time and am ready to introduce it to everyone!

Depending on the interest – I will set up some time for the sessions in 30 – 45 minute blocks on an evening or a Sunday.

I can also schedule as needed …

I am offering three different locations in Mansfield …

1. The Farmer in the Dell – even though it’s abandoned it makes for a great backdrop.

2. Mansfield University – the campus is BEAUTIFUL with lots of locations we can use.

3. Downtown Mansfield – mostly the alley behind Strohecker Vision.

It will be a 30 minute session per family – $70.

Each session will receive a disc of photos for reproduction.

Each 30 minute session will be for immediate family – mom, dad, and the kiddos.

We can add in grandparents and aunts and uncles and cousins for an additional price of $25 per family and will have to extend the session somewhat.

You can add on CHRISTMAS CARDS – 50 – 4 x 8 cards for $50.

You can also order a book  of your session – we offer 3 different sizes –

Soft cover – 20 page – 7 x 9 book – $50

Hard cover – 20 page – 8 x 8 book – $75

Hard cover – 20 page – 12 x 12 book – $125

I went to high school with Karissa and reconnected with her at a wedding this year. She needed family portraits and wanted to set up a date. Mt. Pisgah was the perfect spot!

Her kids are TOO CUTE!

Their complete collection is in the gallery – check it out!

Thanks again *B* family!

I met with Rebeka and her family on Saturday @ Mt. Pisgah State Park for a fun photo session!

I had taken pictures of Rebeka with her class from NCA in 2007 and her parents wanted a session similar.

It was HOT HOT HOT on Saturday but everyone was in great spirits.

Check out the gallery for their complete collection!

Thanks again *W* family – I had a great time!

Last week we got the family together to take some pictures before Gramma & Grampa Clark go back to Florida.

We took some pictures with Schrute too!

*H* is one of our Powerkidz – not for long – she is moving into 7th grade this year!
