This little one is the sweetest most thoughtful little boy I have ever worked with. I was so excited to see him again (last time he was a newborn) and now he is such the little gentlemen. Thanks Mom and Dad for braving the mist for this shoot…I know it was early, hot and muggy but so worth it!!!

Well…it’s officially been forever since my last post but I promise you I have good reason. The new studio opened last week and between that, getting used to working in the new studio, non-stop sessions and the Grand Opening this past Saturday…I don’t even know what day it is!!! Oh and did I mention that my kids start school next Monday. If I can make it to the 16th in one piece …everything will be ok! It has been a crazy couple of weeks but I feel so completely blessed and overwhelmed when I stop and realize how far I’ve come and where my dream is headed. I know without a shadow of a doubt that I am where God wants me. I feel like a 4 year at Christmas…I just can’t believe I am actually out of my house and in a commercial location directly across from my daughter’s school and down the street from my son’s…and did I mention it is only 4 minutes from my house!!! It just doesn’t get any better than this! Thank you to everyone who came out to help celebrate the new location and I am soooo excited about what is to come in the next few months…more to follow on school portraits and private Santa sessions soon.
Ok and now on to the good stuff!!! Oh my…STOP IT!!! Can these girls get any cuter! We had the photo shoot for the new Matilda Jane “Field Trip” line on what I think was the hottest day of the year…and not one time did these girls complain! Talk about troopers! Thank you to all the Mom’s, Aunt’s and Grandma’s who came out to help…I couldn’t have done it without you!!!! And Brittany…thanks so much for the props!

Well …it’s finally here. I don’t know if I should cry, laugh, sing (which I might add is my next favorite thing to do next to taking pictures) or scream from the mountain tops! The new studio is ready…and the Grand Opening is set!!!!! I can barely contain myself..seriously I am considering jumping in my Tiger costume (some of you might remember from a few years back at our local consignment sale) and jumping up and down on the corner holding a sign shouting from the top of my lungs “GRAND OPENING”!!!!!!!!!!!!! So all you locals..if you see a flash of orange, yellow and black in the distance on highway 81… you will know why! Do me a favor, when you drive by…no laughing …just honk! So here is the 411 on the details - I really hope to see each and everyone of you and bring a friend!!!
Yes…today is my birthday. I am 40 and I don’t think I am much happy about that …but unless I can find Dick Clark’s fountain of youth I am stuck being 40. No offense to anyone out there who is 40 …I just don’t like it on me! The good news is with the help of my husband, daughter and some very good friends (my son supervised) we painted late into the night last night so now today…for my birthday…I get to finally move the studio into commercial space!!! I can’t believe it’s finally happening…so to celebrate, I have decided to run a Happy 40th Birthday Special!

Wanted to let everyone know that it looks like the studio will finally be moving into an awesome commercial location right across from Youth Middle on Highway 81 in Loganville!!!! Once all the details are finalized, I will let everyone know all the grand opening open house details!!!! I am beyond excited about what this will mean for all of you as well as the HUGE step for the growth of the studio. Having this retail space will allow me the opportunity to provide fundraising “Stop-In” portrait sessions that I have been unable to do from the home studio. For example 1-day only free Halloween Costume 4×6 portraits when you bring in food for families for Thanksgiving or on-site Santa portraits a la Elena style!!!! I have had so many more of these ideas through the years…I just am so excited now that I can actually bring them to life!!!
I am also excited to announce that Stacie Hollingsworth will be joining me on this journey…position T.B.D. (-:. You won’t see Stacie all the time (as she has a regular J.O.B.) but let’s just say she is one of my dearest friend, supporters and clients…she gets me and my vision. She is one of the most creative ingenious individuals that I know so I definitely be using her behind the scenes as well as an assistant on weekend photo sessions. She is an incredible asset to me and I can’t imagine what I would do without her!!!!
Now for the good stuff!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! To celebrate this HUGE step for the studio I am offering the following special for the first 10 people!! This is happening because of your support and love through the years…I could not have done this without you and I cannot continue without you!!!!! Please help me celebrate this new chapter by taking advantage of this HUGE special!!!!!! This is not an either or special …you get both!!!!!
*****AUGUST STUDIO SPECIAL******* FIRST 10 PEOPLE TO CONTACT THE STUDIO RIGHT NOW AND BOOK A SESSION FOR AUGUST WILL RECEIVE FREE 11X14 AND 1/2 OF YOUR SESSION FEE APPLIED TOWARDS YOUR ORDER!!!!!!!!! BE THE FIRST TO GET YOUR PORTRAITS TAKEN IN THE NEW STUDIO!!!!!!!! READY…SET…NOW CALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah!!! It’s finally here!!! I am sorry it is a day late …I actually had calls into the studio yesterday wanting to know when the special would be posted. Gadzooks! I finally pulled myself together and here it is!
Book your holiday session for this fall within the next 48 hours (that is right …you have 48 HOURS so get your coffee and WAKE UP!!!!!) and you will receive either a 16×20 or ½ of your session fee credited back towards your order…your choice! Now here is the clincher….I am only offering this to the first 10 individuals that contact the studio. Sorry…it wouldn’t be a special if I gave it away to everyone! Let me know if you have any questions.
Here is the fine print…this special cannot be combined with any other special or discount and if your order is not placed during your given time period you will lose your special. Also, if you refer a friend to this special, I will credit both of you with (2) free 5×7’s …Ho Ho Ho!
So like I said get your coffee WAKE UP and smell the savings $$$$$$$$!!!!!!!

There is a lot going on here as I am sure it is with everyone right now. Summer is here and time is flying by! When my kids are home it makes it really hard to get things done here in the studio but I have finally been able to use some of the new floors and backdrops!!!! I am beyond excited to share them with you!!!!! I have photographers all over the country that I am friends with who have been trying to get me up to speed with new trends in the industry…and then my vendors started offering a bunch of new products …what can I say I caved and I am so glad I did!!!!!! Check them out for yourself and give me some feedback! I would love to hear from everyone…

Yesterday I had the privilege of capturing these little girls personalities to help them compete for the next cover girl for Matilda Jane’s fall line. It was so much fun watching them come in all dressed up and strut their stuff with diva attitude! There is something magical about these outfits! In fact, one of my little fashionistas fell so completely head over heels in love with a shirt that when she found out it wasn’t available anymore in her size…her little heart was crushed! Don’t worry MJ…I loved your second choice! You rock in anything! Thanks so much to all the Mom’s who took time out of their Sundays to make sure their little girl had her chance in the spotlight!
