Calling all NEWBORNS!!!

My first FOCUS will be newborns.  I will be doing sessions for a discounted price of $50.  I would love to be able to give you 15-30 pictures of the new addition to your family.  This is also a wonderful Christmas gift!  This session does not necessarily include other family members but Mom and Dad should be prepared to be in a few pictures as well as any siblings.  However, most of the pictures will be of just the new baby.  I do allow more time for feedings and diaper changes so please know this session could take up to 4 hours but if we have a sleepy baby who sleeps most of the time, it could be a lot quicker.  I will do a consultation first and we will shoot at your house to keep from taking the new baby away from home.  For $50 you will get a CD with 20-30 edited images to print as you wish and 1 pre-made announcement that I have designed for you.  You can purchase other announcements from me or use your images to print somewhere else.   So...whose having a baby?  Please forward a link to my blog to anyone you know that is having a baby in the given time frame.  This offer will expire when I have photographed 5 newborns or by the deadline!  All sessions MUST be shot by Febuary 1, 2010.  And...I am going to put this offer on craigslist, but wanted to offer to my freinds, family and followers first! 

FOCUS

So, I have been thinking about my focus.  Everyone in everything seems to have a focus.  An area they are really good at.  Doctors, Laywers, Artist, Military, and well even photographers.  But what is MY focus???  And, what do I WANT it to be?  I am not good at focusingin general, however coffee has been helping the last 3 days.  So, I am searching for my focus.  I have decided to take the next 3 months to start this search.  In January - March I will be offering specials to help me tweak some areas I do not get much practice in, to step out of my comfort zone and to find my focus.  My lack of FOCUS could be your savings!  Will it be infants?  Maternity? or maybe Seniors?  Or maybe something new?  So, stay posted, follow me or stop by and see what I will be focusing on next!

Peter's Family FINALE

This is one of those sessions where it is such a challenge to get the kids to look at the camera or smile.  They wanted to be kids and play!  Imagine that, a kid wanting to play.  So, we did a lot of playing!  Even Mom was hanging from a tree!  Heels and all!   It was fun, a challenge but I welcome a challenge and I hope to get to be challenged by them again one day!  They are a beautiful family on the inside and out which makes photographing them even more fun!  So Peter's family, here is your FINALE.  Your CD is in the mail!

The Barbee Family Finale

An old friend from home and his georgous wife...

I have to tell you this story before you get a preview of this sweet couple. The husband, Rick, is from my home town. He has a twin brother and even though we are a few years apart we knew each other. I have not seen Rick in years, as we were not close friends. I did not know what happened to him or his brother. One day while walking through the commissary in Sicily I saw a guy that looked just like Rick and Eric. I kept telling Mike that he was a Sumter guy I was sure of it. Mike woud say, "Well then why dont you say HI?" I just could not believe a Sumter boy would be in Sicily the same time as we were and I had not seen him in so so long I was not sure. So, I never said a word. Then we left Sicily and as we were walking through the airport in Norfolk, the guy from Sicily walks up to me and says, "Allison? From Sumter right?" It was him the entire time! It was Rick from Sumter and now he was stationed in Norfolk, like us. It was just weird. I guess Sumter people are the ones who will understand the weirdness of this. Anyway, we became facebook friends (I {heart} facebook) and he ended up asking me to photograph he and his wife! Lucky me! It was a wonderful shoot at such a sweet place. They are such a sweet couple, laughing and grinning at each other the entire time. I am serious when I say they could not look at each other with out smiling or giggling like school kids in love. Such a treat to see two people so in love. So, check out this beautiful couple!
