note: If you’ve had a photo session with me in the past year and would like to see card samples, please send an email and let me know what photo(s) you would like incorporated in the card.  If you are interested in booking a family session or holiday mini session, contact me soon.  I will be offering sessions for the next 6-7 weeks before taking a maternity leave.

A few holiday card orders are already in the works!  I am simply amazed by how well some of you plan ahead…way to get a job done!

Over the following weeks I will be sharing card samples every couple days so visit often for a variety of options.

Here’s a peek at the first 3 card samples for oh-ten (all of these are 5×7 but can be adapted to a different size):

It’s the night of Christmas and I finally found time to make our family holiday card. Better late than never! I thought this would have been a Valentine’s card for sure but decided to stick with Christmas (even though it is late).  I had some festive and fun pictures from our recent trip to CA so I decided to go with a Cali Christmas card. I have been busy with card orders all month so our own family card was delayed (common practice with photogs…many send New Years cards instead).   I’ve attached the front of the card here so you can see it here now (the printed version will be sent next week).

Patterns seem to be the thing this year for holiday cards…and these 3 samples are rather dazzling!

Just an update on holiday cards.  I will try to post a few times each week as I work on new projects between now and December. 

Many of you are starting early this year – I love it!   I did a lot of work over the summer getting ready for this season so am happy to be off and running with family sessions and card orders.
