Every year I do valentines for my kids to pass out at school or before Emma was in preschool mail to friends and family.  They are always a huge hit.  I have wanted to do mini sessions for the past several years but shooting strictly on location made if very difficult.  So this year I tried to plan ahead.  I asked a couple of my friends and clients to model for me.  We had so much fun!!  I also realized things I needed to tweak and make better for the mini sessions.  So we will have a few more options, especially for boys, if you book a session.  I have a couple clever ideas for the little fellas   It’s a little tough coming up with a boyish theme for valentines with all the hearts and pink/red decorations that go along with the holiday but think you will be pleased

These sessions are ideal for 1-2 kids.  No large groups please.  You will need to pay the session fee when you book to hold your spot and they are going to be very limited.  I will need to proof and design cards from each session and would never have time before Valentines Day to get it all done if I took 100 bookings   So what I’m really saying is if you are interested I wouldn’t wait as the time slots will be first come first served.

You will also need to choose images from your online gallery as soon as possible so that we can get your valentine cards designed and ordered. 

If you are interested in booking please e-mail me at shannonwalton@sbcglobal.net

I have contacted the winner of our caption contest.  Congratulations “J”!  I will also be donating $240 to St. Jude.  Thank you to all who entered captions and took the time to vote in our contest!

Lots of info to share with you.  We have new pricing plans and bonus levels for 2010.  Please e-mail me if you are interested in booking a session for 2010.  I will be glad to send you the info.  We went on a mini vacation for New Year’s and when we got home my inbox was full of clients wishing to book and my calendar is already filling up.  Thank you!

We are now offering a new baby plan.  I have been wanting to do this for several years now and finally put something together which gives you a REALLY great deal on multiple sessions in babies first year as well as complimentary prints and discounts on some fabulous products.   It starts with a newborn session which needs to be done within the first 2 wks of birth and includes each milestone along the way.  If you know someone who is expecting this would make a phenomenal baby shower gift   I will only take so many baby plan clients so that I have time to photograph regular sessions also.  As most of you know I limit the number of sessions I shoot each month so that I can ensure great customer service and so that I can spend time with my family as well.

Phew..thanks so much to each and every one of you for making 2009 a fabulous year!  I never dreamed I would have my own studio and booking sessions in Jan. for Sept   It’s pretty awesome!  THANK YOU!

Lately I have had LOTS of boys  in the studio.  So here are just some of my faves…
