Veterans Day

Having served, I can say that it is one of the greatest things I have done in my life. Download Stars.pdf

And I think about all my friends still serving, and there is not a prayer that I let go by 

without including them. 

A big thank you to Cpt. Jason Monhollen, who not so long ago was a cadet that I helped coming

into my unit. Today he is leading people in war torn areas. He recently sent an article from the Army Times.

I am going to attach it if anyone cares to read, it should be above the text.

 Jason, take care, and be safe. Always Proud of how far you have come!

Friday....

I am so thrilled that its friday, and I am so thrilled about the past few days. There is something very wonderful about the extra few days of warm weather, and all the fall colors.I found this, and had to post it.  Anybody know Mr. Bean? I first saw him when I was in Holland visiting our former exchange student.  I stayed up all night watching this guy, laughing like crazy. Ah.. the best things in life is to just laugh sometimes!!!

Christmas......

GRACE NOLL CROWELL:

Let Us Keep Christmas
Whatever else be lost among the years,
Let us keep Christmas still a shining thing;
Whatever doubts assail us, or what fears,
Let us hold close one day, remembering
It's poignant meaning for the hearts of men.
Let us get back our childlike faith again.

In the spirit of keeping Christmas peaceful and easy going, I want to get out one more announcement about holiday time lines. 

This coming week  November 3-8, I will be doing sessions for cards and holiday portrait gifts.  There are two options. Both are 45 mins-1 hour sessions, depending on how many people are being photographed. The price options for these are $65 and $185. 

$65 session, includes a private gallery with online ordering ability. Cards to view for purchase, or the option to purchase a digital negative at $35 each, to create your own Christmas Cards. 

$185 session, is a ready-made gift plan, consisting of 2(5x7), 1(8x10), 8(wallets) and 20(4x8 Christmas Cards). Private gallery, additional online ordering ability, and a digital negative for purchase at $25 each. 

Custom cards are designed on an individual basis, so feel free to contact me if you need something extra in the way of cards. 

The last day to get pictures in which I can guarantee prints before Christmas is November 14 after which sessions will resume regular pricing and deadlines. 

Thank you!! Danielle

A NIGHT TO RUN AMUCK!

E

 I had so much fun tonight passing out candy at the Studio. Wilmore has the sweetest little Main Street, and it was packed with children gladly running amuck. It completely reminded me of that Disney movie Hocus Pocus, and the way the small town looked. I saw so many great costumes, and took a few pictures. 

Please feel free to contact me if I took your child's picture and I will give you a 4x6. Some of the ones that really stood out to me, was the report card, a pink poodle, a tiny doctor, a tiny witch, and of course all the lovely pets that came dressed up. There are some very creative parents in Wilmore, who put a lot of work into some great costumes. And thanks to the parents who let me do a quick session with their daughter. I can tell you she is the cutest pea in a pod I have ever seen! Thanks you two, please email so I can get these back to you!

I hope you enjoyed the pictures from tonight's event. I can't wait for Christmas on Main!

 

ON VACATION

I will be out this coming week for vacation. Please leave a message at 859-885-8057 and I will get back to you as soon as I return. 

Senior Show Case

Here is my best friends, baby sister. Funny, how she is not so little anymore. I remember her at my Wedding, and the fact that she was not as tall as me. Now, she is tall if not taller. Ms. Trista, we are all so very proud of you and I know that life has many wonderful things in store for you. I wish you could hear all the "proud sister talk" Heather does about you : 0 ) Its really interesting for me to see how you both have a quite strength about you. Nancy, we have ton's of pictures to go, but here is just a small sample. I hope you enjoy them!!! My favorite is the image of her looking down, I love the pensive expression. Thanks so much guys!

Sleeping Beauty

Sleeping Beauty came to visit the studio. Just a few days old, and so sweet this tiny blessing slept the entire time. Sometimes, we tend to think of Portraits with babies, smiling at the camera. But really, the moments that a baby sleeps gently, are the ones you breathe in and memorize each tiny part. I am thrilled with the images of this little brand new sleeping doll baby. I know that as she grows, her family will have wonderful lasting memories that document this fleeting time.

Grand Opening Day!

It was a perfect fall day! The Wilmore festival was much larger this year from what I have heard in the past. There were ton's of great Artist out displaying their work, and families just enjoying the day. We went thru a ton of balloons, and cookies. And I truly enjoyed meeting all the families that stopped in to check things out.

There are not words to express how wonderful it was to have so many clients, friends, and family come out. I feel truly blessed by the whole experience. And that's not to mention Sarah, my dear friend, surprised me by flying out for the event! She totally got me off guard. Along with her, and Steve Kirtley, I had a ton of help getting everything ready. And Steve is currently working on some great virtual tour images for me, and I will post those soon!
Here are a few pictures of the event. And we also had a really handsome fello stop by and I caught a few images. His mommy and daddy own Solomon's Porch, which is a WONDERFUL place to stop and get a bit to eat!
Additionally I would like to say thank you to the Webmaster for the Wilmore Business website, who got my link up a lighting speed! Thanks!

Fall into Christmas

Our first official Christmas schedule for the studio is underway, "Fall into Christmas".
We have already been very busy and have not officially opened the studio doors. I will be traveling at the end of October and then again in the middle of November for some work. I am thrilled to be going to Texas, to do some work with Sarah Havard Photography. Many of you know Sarah from The Caring Touch sessions.

To keep the holiday's from being too rushed, I will be doing one week of mini sessions in the studio. This will be the only christmas promotion in which prints we be completed and returned before Christmas. I use the high quality photographic labs, which have very specific cut off dates for printing. These sessions include the sitting fee, and I will offer some after hours time slots for those who need that.

Also don't forget about our Grand Opening in Wilmore this Saturday. We will have some cookies and balloons for the kids. Its great to get out in the fall air and spend some time with your family at the craft fair as well.
