want your order before Christmas?

Next Friday, December 9, is the last day to get your order and payment in for guarenteed delivery by Christmas. EPC photographs make great gifts under the tree. My niece, surprisingly, had pictures of my kids on her Christmas list. I am going to hook her up. LOL! 

My last day to work for 2011 is Dec. 19, unless one special little baby planner is born early, and in that case my last day will be the 16th. I want to have everything wrapped up, no pun intended, : ) including, uploads, orders, proofs, etc. by that day. I haven't decided what my return day will be in January. All I want for Christmas is some extra special time with my children in the chilly first month of 2012. 

Until then, happy shopping and a Merry Christmas season to you! : )

introducing luxe frames!

I am so excited about these! I am going to do a wall of pink and white ones over G's bed. To purchase click here. You can find them on the products page when you are ordering. They come in 2 sizes, 4 styles and 4 colors. The possibilities are endless! 8x10 frames are $85 and include the frame and photo and ship directly to your door ready to hang. 10x10 frames are $100 and include the frame and photo and also ship directly to your door ready to hang. I hope you love new products as much as I do. These will make great Christmas gifts!

keeping you informed

Due to my pregnancy, upcoming maternity leave, and making myself stick to a 16 hour work week, here are the deadline times that were already set in the past, but I've rarely taken advantage of.

These deadline windows are in effect through the remainder of this year. (Unless we've discussed otherwise, i.e. birth announcements, Christmas cards, etc.)

1. Proofs will be uploaded 2-3 weeks after your initial session date.

2. Orders (and proofs) may take 4-6 weeks to arrive from the time your payment clears the bank.

Thank you for your patience. This extra time gives me the ability to deliver the ultimate quality to you and your families. It's a win/win for us both.

Again, I can't tell you how much your business means to me. I appreciate you all more than you will ever know. 

love this family

I love them because they are my family (cousins), but I know a lot of you love them, too, and that makes them really special. I hope Jonah turns out with as much character as these 3 boys. Their mom and dad have done such a wonderful job with them.

This is an example of a 10x20 storyboard. I have blank templates on the site for you to choose from, but what I like to do is take the template and make it fit your home and personality. This is a good example of a client giving me the 6 images they like and giving me the challenge of making it work. 

come take a look at my "all about me" layflat books

A coffee table book is a must have at the end of your baby plan. It's a ready made scrap book that includes 37-40 images taken by me during your baby's first year. I mean, who has time to scrap book? Let me do the work for you so you can play with your baby! Plus, baby planners get a discount on this product. You can't beat that! This 10x10 custom designed, custom color layflat book retails for $250. You can add a duplicate 5x5 copy for only $50. (What better Mother's day gift for Grammy than the ultimate brag book!)

These albums are open for purchase to anyone, not just baby planners. What a great way to document your child's 2nd, 3rd, and 4th years and beyond! Instead of ordering a proof set, allow me to create a very special book for your child, all about them! This product would also make a great family scrapbook. Each one is custom designed to fit your session(s) and family dynamic.

Be sure to take a look at our albums next time you're in.

grand bucket bag

I got my sample of the grand bucket photo bag in last week. I am so pleased with the quality. It retails for $100 and includes photo(s) on one side and the other side is black for all occasions. I can either custom design one for you or you may choose one photo for a bold graphic punch.

Let me just tell you I LOVE this bag! Not only do I get compliments on it everywhere I go, but it holds EVERYTHING. I use it as a combo diaper bag/purse/church bag. Yes, it will hold diapers, wipes, bib, bottle, Bible, three-ring-binder, wallet, sunglasses, Blackberry, makeup bag, keys, and such. It has pockets I keep items I like to get to quickly such as my phone and business cards and there's even a hook for your keys so that they are easy to find. It's sturdy bottom keeps everything standing upright inside and it can stand on it's own when you sit it on the ground so the contents don't spill out. 

To view all sizes and styles offered visit the products link on the proofing site. The product site is under construction, so please pay no attention the plain graphics. 

a new calendar year at epc

 
 

I picked back up reading through my chronological Bible when the new year rolled over. This morning I was reading in Jeremiah and this passage jumped off the page:

Thus says the LORD, cursed is the man who trusts in mankind and makes flesh his strength, and whose heart turns away from the LORD. For he will be like a bush in the desert and will not see when prosperity comes, but will live in stony wastes in the wilderness, a land of salt without inhabitant. Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD and whose trust is the LORD. For he will be like a tree planted by the water, that extends its roots by a stream and will not fear when the heat comes; But its leaves will be green, and it will not be anxious in a year of drought nor cease to yield fruit.

I hope this year I'll be like that tree planted by the water by trusting in the LORD. I thought this was a great passage to start off the new calendar year at epc. 

I've begun working again and my new nanny/assistant started today. I can already tell she's going to be a great fit here. Jonah just loves her already!

My original plans were to work Tuesdays and Thursdays through the winter months, but I've been feeling the need to join a MOMS Bible Study at Bellevue and it begins next Thursday. So, my winter office hours will be Tuesdays and Fridays 9-5. I'll be scheduling indoor appointments various times between 10-3 each day. Call today and I'll get you on the books! I hope to meet many brand new babies this year. Remember, you can book your baby plan before your baby is even born. That'll be one more thing you can check off your list. : )

A new product that will be great for baby planners and regular portrait clients in general is the desk calendar ($25 first copy, $20 each additional). You can start the calendar with any month, so you can order at any time of the year! The calendar features 12 photos of your choice, plus a cover image. It's a great gift idea for friends and family. My family loved them this Christmas!

You can order them through the products page on the website.
