A new look

A gorgeous bride, inside and out, I love this girl. And yes oh yes there will be more. Lots more.

I am desperately trying to get caught up while playing mother, wife and the like. A friend suggested I admit myself to the psychiatric ward to get back to normal. I didn't think it was such a bad idea, as long as I had my laptop to get some things done, and then I'd get lots of spoon fed Jello. With my current client load alone I am swamped but I am also, as you can see, trying to freshen things up around here. I have mentioned several times about a new website, which has now turned into two, and they are close. I am printing off new everything, and the new look is sure to please. I also have some fun ideas spinning or scheming as some may say, that you wont want to miss. Stay tuned, I may just start throwing some crazy stuff at you. Did anyone say, a free canvas gallery wrap? Yeah, that's what I thought....

all my children

so my kids, once again, LOVE their picture taken... can't ya tell?
























Everybody is wondering how my little 25 minute photo shoot turned out with my kids. Well, I promised Rayla and Jason i wouldn't swear or anything along those lines, so there went that avenue. Too wicked. Wanting a smile at least, things were a little too tough and serious here. So I had to lighten things up a bit.











So I.. well never mind, it got them laughing anyway...




and it was enough..

ah family love, this is the real Hyrum by the way, goofy 90% of the time. Emma, 4 ( almost 5 ) Aaron, 6 and Hyrum 2.

I had to try it again, yep, still works, and it's going to stay our little secret...

Glitter Gel / Jelly Jane

So my dear friend Sara Eaton is a creative freak. She loves the same little quirky details about things that I do and I love this in her. Like packaging. Are you guilty as well for buying something because it looks so stinking cute in the package?! We both love creating, and people who create - stuff - anything. Even though I really am trailer burnt out, when my husband was manufacturing those beasts, well, the truth is, I was amazed. To start with a bunch of rusty dirty looking metal, do a little welding and whola! A beautiful trailer. Okay, so it's not a little welding, but you get the idea. To start with something and end with cool stuff is, well, cool. And, let me tell you, there is a little secret about creations.

For those of us junkies who love this 'stuff' there is a website that is surely one to hook you for good. Etsy. There are so many neat things on there, I Love it! I am still trying to figure out how to be a cool etsy seller but havn't had the time to really focus on that. But someday...

Well, Sara was feeling this pain, the left out of the creating Etsy pain and so she sunk her ship deep by creating adorable glitter gels that everyone wants now. This poor mamma has no idea what she has gotten herself into! These glitter gels are Aloe Vera based and have the funnest colors and scents. My little Emma is sure to have every kind between her birthday and Christmas. The boys in our house won't know what hit them. I tried a little on my clean shaven legs today at our shoot for her jars and let me tell you, no residue, just glitter. Layne will be impressed I am sure of it.

So be sure to see Sara at the Christmas Farmers market this December, she will be there toting her cute and wonderful glitter gels. Heck they are great even for Hair. Princess and Fairy halloween costumes wont be the same without it!! I am posting her number so you can call her at all the waking hours demanding her glitter gel. 403-653-4567. Or you can check her new blog out at http://www.glittergel.blogspot.com/

I know I am going to get a phone call in the morning. Love you too Sara!!

PS, this green one is glow in the dark!! Hello! A Definite Halloween must have...

Referrals

I have been offering a referral program since the beginning of time, it's nothing new that is for sure. However, I think my clients are starting to see the dividends now that they caught the vision. Here is how it works:

For every referral I receive from you that results in a booking, you will receive a little coupon with one of two options on it. 1. This card is good for one free 8x10 print OR 2. Bring in ten coupons for a free photo session of choice (excluding weddings).

As I have been posting sessions and the ordering process can be hard, it is so nice when they remember that they get an additional one or two 8x10 prints. It seems to just fill in the gaps with wall collections and gift prints. So to give you an idea of the referral program here is what it has done for Silverline - and may I offer a sincere thank -you for your support and patronage. You are 'da best!' ( if you havn't seen Nacho Libre, please do and know that Jack Black is one of the funniest people of all time)

another tease

I couldn't help it Cheryl, here is a sneak peek. Sorry to do this to you but it had to be done.

A Few Cute Ones...

Just a side note, for bookings, don't refer to my calendar on the website, I haven't updated it as I just haven't taken the time to do so - please just shoot me an email or give me a call to check for availability. Things are getting pretty full. I am already sending off Christmas Card orders, they are adorable! For samples, send me an email to see them. Hot Hot Hot!

Christmas Card Special

I haven't posted my September special yet as the new website will hopefully be live this weekend, and for who knows why I was waiting for that. However, its not a secret and the Christmas Card special is back, from Sept 15th- October 16th. One family session and 25 double sided fine art cards with envelopes for $150.

I only have a few slots left and I can't cram in a whole lot more. PLEASE book as early as you possibly can, I promised myself this year I would not do cards into November - things get way to crazy at Christmas and I just don't have the time this year. I am already almost full, so if its in the plans, you have till the 16th of October.

Layouts for the cards are done, adorable, and a must have. Today I sent off for the first set. This means I have to get my family pics done. Why is that so hard... as you can see from the last post, my kids can't wait. They just love getting their pictures taken...yeah right.


Back to Christmas - Yes!! You have to start thinking about Christmas already!!
