Unfortunately I was unable to squeeze in this session before the daddy had to leave for work! Since mom is not on Facebook which is where I usually post my sneak peeks I wanted to show them a few samples so Dad could see too while he is away at work. Don't you know how hard it is to be gone from your families to work! </div><br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_BxWddq--tDw/TJ-7AYq1c6I/AAAAAAAACI4/ZlSo-R1ExjA/s1600/web4.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5521337283476026274" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_BxWddq--tDw/TJ-7AYq1c6I/AAAAAAAACI4/ZlSo-R1ExjA/s400/web4.jpg" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_BxWddq--tDw/TJ-7AJJ2qnI/AAAAAAAACIw/hP7GnIE1Gwo/s1600/web3.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5521337279311161970" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_BxWddq--tDw/TJ-7AJJ2qnI/AAAAAAAACIw/hP7GnIE1Gwo/s400/web3.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_BxWddq--tDw/TJ-2kD8A5DI/AAAAAAAACIo/3Po04BnyplE/s1600/web2.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5521332398828086322" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_BxWddq--tDw/TJ-2kD8A5DI/AAAAAAAACIo/3Po04BnyplE/s400/web2.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_BxWddq--tDw/TJ-2j8ihbVI/AAAAAAAACIg/lBlvbsRvpAc/s1600/web1.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5521332396842118482" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_BxWddq--tDw/TJ-2j8ihbVI/AAAAAAAACIg/lBlvbsRvpAc/s400/web1.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><div></div><div>I hope you enjoy these sneak peeks!

And then you would be VERY angry with me!!!<br /><br />So instead, my ONE fall mini-session will be October 23rd in Summit at a beautiful homeplace with a big field, tin, wood barn, iron gate etc. This is a different location from last year and will provide a different look to the pictures even though there is a barn. I will have super fun props for kids and such for family. 30 min session -$100- 10 to 12 images on disk!<br /><br />In the event that the sunflowers do bloom in late Sep I would love to have your regular session at this location it will just be regular price not mini-session!<br /><br />As you may have heard I will be moving into 811 Robb Street in Summit on September 30th! I am excited about the possibilites. I have been racking up on new blankets and props! These portraits will be unlike anything in this area. No stuffy backdrops here!<br /><br />I have limited remaining dates open for September and October. All sessions will be regular price of $175 for the cd of images. I have one Saturday in October that I will be shooting regular sessions but the remainder will be during the week. I cut off Holiday portraits the week of Thanksgiving. I do not shoot in December except for maternity and newborns or baby plans. Please do not procrastinate your family holiday portraits!<br /><br />There will be a slight price increase in January so book now to receive the discounted prices!Amanda Smithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17441128171413316471noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5645947211456055595.post-77904463099653417572010-08-05T12:30:00.000-07:002010-08-10T07:00:07.028-07:00SENIOR SPOKES MODEL CONTEST!OKAY Who is ready for the 2nd annual SENIOR SPOKES MODEL CONTEST?!!??!?<br /><br />I had the privilige of meeting four AWESOME 2011 Seniors this summer to capture their personalities in portraits their families can cherish forever!

Well Javon may not have thought it was a lot of fun but he was such a good support for both me and his mama! I think we captured both his "I am serious and going to law school" side and his "I just want to have a good time!" side! I loved the way the pictures turned out! I really wish I could share them all with you! He is one good looking SENIOR!

We had a great time capturing some portraits that really identified his personality. I also learned some new football lingo along the way ;). Now for the first time ever I had to switch lenses because this tall drink of water wouldn't fit into my usual lens! HA! Most of my time was spent finding something to stand on so I could make sure we got all 6ft 5in of him plus he had on boots!<br /><br /></div><div>I can tell he would be a really great catch for some young lady!

Most artists think this is a travisty to give away their hard earned work to be easily distorted and not printed correctly. There is always a bad that will go with the good but I feel that this method will best suit my business practice. And let's face it time is money and I have a family to raise also and placing orders can be extremely tedious.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />If you follow my blog I will fill you in on lots of neat ideas and methods to print your portraits yourself. The printer I highly recommend for professional prints and impeccable service is <a href="http://www.mpix.com/">http://www.mpix.com/</a> . When you purchase a session with cd from me I will provide you with instructions on how to print from them.<br /><br /><br />So what are some of my favorite ways to print photographs other than your usual 5X7 in a frame?<br /><br /><strong>MOUNTING-</strong><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />My favorite way to print a photograph is what is called Mounting.<br /><br /><br />When you choose the size that you want you simply check the add mounting for an extra fee and this will provide you a hard backing to display on an easel, or hang from pretty ribbon, or the ideas are endless....<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />This is a display I have in our playroom-3 pictures (2 9x12 and 1 10X10). I simply got the EZ hooks in rust color and then got an inexpensive curtain rod to place across it. I got curtain hooks and clipped to the picture. Very modern and unique!~ AND THRIFTY! Total to print about $30 and hanging display about $40.<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_BxWddq--tDw/S-MmvF0y3QI/AAAAAAAAB50/4bAFd4WNQno/s1600/IMG_5445.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5468256963017235714" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_BxWddq--tDw/S-MmvF0y3QI/AAAAAAAAB50/4bAFd4WNQno/s400/IMG_5445.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div>Apparently someone at HGTV loves this idea too- I found this picture on one of their nursery design pages. Isn't it SUPER CUTE! I have visions of something similar in my little girl's room with butterflies! </div><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_BxWddq--tDw/S8RhRLKoI5I/AAAAAAAAB1E/IsDla3_Xttk/s1600/RMS_dmuradian-blue-nursery_s4x3_lg.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459595595962917778" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_BxWddq--tDw/S8RhRLKoI5I/AAAAAAAAB1E/IsDla3_Xttk/s400/RMS_dmuradian-blue-nursery_s4x3_lg.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div>Also I LOVE Storyboards!!! LOVE THEM! They are such a fun way to incorporate several images from your session. Once again choose your printing size and then add mounting. You can display on an easel or frame. I can design a storyboard for you starting at $15 and up. To print only costs about $10-$20 mounted depending on size.<br /></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><br />This is one I did for one of my besties of her and her daughter. It turned out BEAUTIFUL and I was so jealous I didn't have one of me and my angel!<br /></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><p><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_BxWddq--tDw/SzjN5zt-4UI/AAAAAAAABk8/-r7PrgVnNTo/s1600-h/CoffeeShop+20by10++template.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5420308544559702338" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_BxWddq--tDw/SzjN5zt-4UI/AAAAAAAABk8/-r7PrgVnNTo/s400/CoffeeShop+20by10++template.jpg" /></a> (20 X 10) storyboard<br />This is a rather large size- the image doesn't do it justice but I don't have a copy of the printed version. Trust me it was AWESOME!<br /></p><br /><br /><p>And here is a 5X7 version I inlcuded with this 1 yr session. So sweet!<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_BxWddq--tDw/S9NHVzWtIUI/AAAAAAAAB38/D92B2N8NY58/s1600/5X7+storyboard.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 286px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5463789212818809154" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_BxWddq--tDw/S9NHVzWtIUI/AAAAAAAAB38/D92B2N8NY58/s400/5X7+storyboard.jpg" /></a><br /><strong>STAND OUTS- </strong><br />There is an option for stand outs which is a neat alternative to a canvas. This is photographic paper placed onto a 1 inch backing that is ready to hang on the wall. Or you can stand it up on its own. There are several examples of these at my display at Lott Furniture in Mccomb. </p><br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_BxWddq--tDw/S8PT7KDauMI/AAAAAAAAB0M/02Gk7al11VY/s1600/LargeStandouts.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 281px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459440186567604418" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_BxWddq--tDw/S8PT7KDauMI/AAAAAAAAB0M/02Gk7al11VY/s400/LargeStandouts.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><div><div><strong>GALLERY WRAP CANVAS-</strong><br /><br /></div><br /><br /><div>There is nothing more beautiful than your child's portrait on canvas- truly a work of art.<br /><br /></div><br /><br /><div>I just received one I ordered in the mail from MPIX that is breathtaking. However, this can be a little tricky to order because you have to ensure you do not cut off any imperative parts of the picture. If you wish to have a canvas it is best to order them through me via a different distributor that is also extremely affordable.

If you are a family in the military you will receive 10% off the session fee and a free Storyboard file for you to print.<br /><br /><br /><br />I recently did a shoot for a family who had a member being deployed. It is such a bittersweet time.
