I can’t believe Christmas and the New Year are almost here. This year has went by so fast. 2008 will definitely be a year to remember. And I hope you’ve all been nice boys and girls this years. We wouldn’t want you to get a lump of coal for Christmas. But I bet you’ve all been good.
Have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Here is a slideshow of one of our latest senior we’ve had in the studio. We hope you enjoy! And remember if you haven’t gotten you senior pictures taken yet; you need to do it now, to make sure you get in the yearbook. So call and schedule today!
Here is a slideshow from our recent senior Allison. Sorry this is a little late but our server was having issues and we couldn’t get the show to load on to the server. We hope you enjoy and tell your friends to check it out!
Deadlines for yearbook photos will be coming up fast. Make sure you make it in. We have just a few opening in the schedule for outdoor sessions. So don’t wait, schedule now, if you haven’t already. We will be having a few more senior sneak peeks coming up really soon.

Here is a slideshow for our latest senior. He had a lot of great pictures; these are some of his favorites. Enjoy!
I came in to do this sneak peek first thing this morning and it has taken me this long to go through all of the great images we created during this session. My favorites tend to always be the serious shots as well as the ones looking away from the camera so that’s what most of these will represent. There are a ton more to see in the slideshow but for now welcome Graham to the senior blog!
Now off to lunch - I told myself I had to get this posted before I could go eat! ~ Laura
Hi - just wanted to pop in and let “G” know that his sneak peek will be up Monday! They painted the stairwell at the studio building this weekend and I couldn’t get in - lol! I’ll get to it asap tomorrow!

I found these 5 fall fashion don’ts on AOL. I thought it was great advice, so I’m passing it on to you.
Fashion Don’t #1: Jelly Shoes This summer saw a resurgence of jelly shoes and it was not pretty. Please do not try to transition your jellies into the fall. Any shoe that squeaks when you walk, makes your feet sweat and allows you to feel every pebble you are stepping on is not ok.
Fall Fashion Do: Booties
Fashion Don’t #2: Pegged Pants We have seen a lot of A list celebs sporting the pegged pants look lately. This is definitely one trend that should stay in the 80s’s and not be followed. Pegged pants are not flattering on anyone. They make your legs look shorter by drawing attention to your ankles. Fall Fashion Do: High-Waist Pants
Fashion Don’t #3: Harem Pants Remember MC Hammer’s pants from the 90’s? Harem pants are very similar. They gather at the ankles and sag in the bottom of area. Not very flattering. Please do not wear harem pants in any variation for fall. Feeling risky and want to try a fall trend? Try wearing a fuller skirt. Fall Fashion Do: Full Skirts
Fashion Don’t #4: Bolero Jacket
Fashion Don’t #5: Denim Suit There definitely can be too much of a good thing. Wearing denim pants with a denim jacket is way too much. Instead, opt for one signature piece of denim like trendy fashion forward jeans or a denim cropped jacket.
Fall Fashion Do: Trendy jeans
I actually thought the Bolero Jacket was kinda cute. The Harem Pants are the worst; who in their right mind would ever wear pants like that. idk.
Here’s another sneak peek from a recent senior session! The weather has been gorgeous lately for senior sessions - cool enough the you don’t melt in the fall clothes and warm enough that noses & cheeks don’t turn red! If you’re still waiting to schedule your session NOW is the time!
School has started again and for those of you who are seniors that means time is runnig out for senior pictures. We know that many of you have had them taken already. If not, NOW is the time to schedule your session. It’s not too late. We still have some prime spots open so call today and reserve your time. Take a look at our Senior portrait web site for more information on the what, were, and how. It’s time to get them done as soon as you can, to make sure you are included in the yearbook. You wouldn’t want to be under the ‘Not Pictured’ section would you? That’s never any fun. The best part of the yearbook is the pictures, of course, so you can look back and kid each otherabout everyone looked!
