Family Featured Session
Daddy and Me - April 8, 9, with special evening hours
 
Create a special gift for mom on mothers day that's guaranteed to make her cry. 
How better to melt mom's heart than to give her a wonderful portrait of those she loves most in the world.  (Works on Grandmothers as well).
 
Enjoy either our RELATIONSHIPS style portrait in the studio, or we'll custom design what we do for you.  We'll be open special evening hours to make it easy on Dad, plus we'll have some special products designed just for this special session.  Prints will, in most cases, be finished in time for Mothers Day

Children's Special Event 
Tiptoe Through the Tulips - April 3 and 4
Along about March, we have all grown weary of winter's drizzly, gray, cool days.  But walk through the gardens and you'll see wonderful signs of nature's reawakening.  Starting with the Crocus, then the Daffodils, and then the Tulips. 
 
This session is 30 minutes in the wonderful spring gardens at Deepwood.  But even better than the gardens will be the woodlands surround the house.  Buck, the head groundskeeper, and a man with great passion for the potential of this city park, has worked diligently with volunteer labor (and no budget) over the last several years clearing out all the invasive blackberries and ivy from the woodlands.  Taking over are what will be an incredible display of native wildland flowers perfect for photographing  not only your small children, but just about anyone who enjoys natures beauty. 
 
Our Children's Limited Edition sessions feature a 20 minute session with portrait packages at special spring prices.  Dress your child in a raincoat or something you don't mind getting dirty of damp, and we'll create some wonderful images of the wonder in a childs eyes as they explore the beauty of the world around them.May
