Genuine


Just love this family! This is the second photo session I've done with them, and they are just so sweet. Last session Mom was still expecting...this time I got to meet little Justin!
Their beautiful Nani was here to help them welcome their newest little sweetie to their family, so we were able to get some sweet shots of her with her two handsome little grandsons. We also got some pics of the two little guys looking oh-so-adorable in their Christening suits,as well as some family pics, newborn shots, and some Mom & Dad pics. I think Mom's smile just says it all.... just tons of genuine love going around in this family :-)
Congratulations again on your beautiful family!

Site Makeover & Free Archive CDs with print orders of $75 or more!

I did a little "spring cleaning" this weekend, and now my Sunflower Studio site has a new look! I hope you all like it and find it easier to navigate. Updates and reminders about studio news can now be found at the top of the pages, and instead of the photo galleries being photos scattered about you can now view a slideshow of each gallery on my SmugMug page. (The same location as my client galleries) Check it out and let me know what ya think!

A cool new change on my printing a la carte menu that you definetly want to know about!!! Now, when your order $75 or more worth of prints off the a la carte menu, you'll receive a FREE archive CD of those images as a Thank You! You gotta love that!

I still offer four great portrait packages that also include an archive CD, but I'm going to be completly changing those soon to make 'em even better for ya! Cool stuff....you'll see!!


The fabulous El Easley has created a cool new logo for me, and is working on some awesome business cards for me as well - I can't wait to add the logo to my site, and start using my cards! If you're looking for someone to design some very artistic and creative birthday invitations, brochures, formal invites, business cards....El's your gal. Check her booth out at post events- she has a great portfolio. El, you rock- I LOVE my new logo!!

2009 Mardi Gras & bye-bye-February


Wow- what a weekend! Seems like March is coming in like a Lion this year, not like a Lamb. I had THREE photo sessions....and ALL of them had to be rescheduled!! I was so bummed....but between sick kiddos and soldier's schedules being switched, it was one of those "life happens" type weekends :-( One of the shoots - with a newborn!! - is happening this Wednesday AM, so at least I don't have to wait too long to get my "pic fix" in...whew!
So, just a reminder - we all know how it goes in life; stuff happens. As always, if you need to reschedule a session, your deposit will be held to book your new time. But PLEASE let me know ASAP....I am usually booked about a month out, and if you know you're not going to be able to make your session in advance then it'll be easier for you to get a new session time the earlier you call. It also may help another family out that's hoping to get their session in earlier-I can call them to let them know something's now available. All my studio policies are on my site - be sure to check those out.
This weekend was the annual OCSC's Mardi Gras. My hubby and I had prior plans, so we didn't get to swing in; but I did have two cool items donated to the auction to help raise money for the scholarship funds. I gave away one FREE photo session - including an 11x14 print - and an original Tiefort Coyote cut paper collage. I hope everyone who went had a lot of fun - I hear it's a great event, and it's certainly for an awesome cause!
