“Momma- watch me!”
I read recently that every human heart is crying one big question… “Will someone love me?” From a small child, that cry seems to echo even louder. They may not say the exact words “Will you love me?” but their actions beg for it. They want our undivided time and attention!
I’ve been making my Christmas list for my own children, trying to narrow it down to what would make each child the happiest. If they could choose anything they wanted, they would probably say:
Jack (14) Play video games with me. Look what I can do!
Clara (11) Read to me. Paint with me. Teach me to sew.
Bruce (8) Go hunting with me. Buy me something that explodes and let’s watch it together!
Charlotte (5) Read to me. Cuddle me. Play hide and seek with me.
“With me” is what they want. No credit card swipe required. And yet it seems to be the scarcest, most valuable commodity on the market.
What if you took just 30 minutes to bring your child in for a special Holiday Portrait Session?

Being photographed makes everyone feel like a star! The lights, the setting, the simple props- all are designed to make my subjects feel at ease, flattered, and happy. When they walk out of the studio, they are proud of who they are!
** Just for the holidays, I’m including some special gifts with my Portrait Sessions.**
• 24 CUSTOM Christmas/holiday cards that are designed around your pictures so the colors and fonts match…. ahhh. I’ll do it for you and you don’t have to stand at a germy kiosk picking out designs Exactly-Like-Everyone-Else. Christmas cards are a lasting, meaningful way to let many people know you care about them! (Plus, if you KNOW you’ll be late sending out cards, we can even say “Happy New Year!” 😉😉😉 )
• I’m also including a 12”x15” completely finished (matted and framed!) piece of Wall Art, made right here in Missouri. You don’t have to let this print stack on a cluttered table for eight months until you find time to go buy a frame… you just place it immediately on the wall. Your child will hear, without words, how loved and special they are. Here’s a quick video I grabbed on my phone of what it will look like. Yours will actually be a few inches larger, but this is one I have handy to give you an idea. I’ll update soon with some images/ video of the actual size Wall Art! UPDATE 11-12-22: this is the video of the actual size 14x16 framed print.
• There’s only one more thing you need, and it’s included- that same image as a high-resolution digital file, so you can post and print more! Share your child’s picture on Facebook, or even make more prints for grandparents. The file is high-resolution, retouched, and includes a convenient print release.
I’m offering this special package on one Friday in November (the 18th) and one Friday/Saturday in December (2nd, 3rd). PLEASE NOTE: Because I do spend a great deal of care in preparing for these Sessions, I can only do a total of ten Sessions over those three days.
YES- you can bring more than one child. Mom and Dad can get in, too! In fact, go ahead and make us all cry by bringing a grandparent! Now- this isn’t family reunion- that’s a separate mindset which needs different consideration, so call me if you are wanting Aunts and Uncles and other parties- but for this Holiday Special, I can comfortably fit 6-7 people in my studio set. Bring Doggo, too! No hamsters, please. I dreamed I sat on one once and I still haven’t recovered.
Cost is 395.00 for the Fridays (Nov. 18th, Dec 2nd) and 495.00 for the Saturday in December (the 3rd). That includes everything listed above and of course you can purchase more if you desire.
Click here to reserve your Friday dates or here for the December Saturday date. ALL DATES will still give you time to have cards and prints back within a week!
You’ll need to pay a 150.00 deposit to book and secure your time, plus schedule a brief phone call so I can ask some questions and hear what you like. (Eeek- phone calls are so 1990, I know. But I need the audio input of real-time conversation to start my creative process!)
Questions? Call or email me. Ready to choose your time? Check the Friday schedule option or the Saturday schedule.
I’m proud to offer a 100% guarantee- you will LOVE your images or your money back!
Even if your child acts like this….
… in a little while, I’ll have them acting like this!
