Penelope has some pretty fantastic things going for her. Not only is she stinkin’ adorable, but her parents are some of the sweetest most genuine people I know. I always get excited when people choose me to photograph their families and special moments, but when it’s friends, it’s all the more special.

Congrats Scott and Emily, she’s beautiful and you’re all just, oh so blessed.

Scott and Emily, had Penny’s announcment custom designed. and if the awesomeness looks familiar it’s because it was done by the some wonderful designer who did my logo and business cards. If you need any type of design work, you should absolutely check her out. Emilee Stites- EmileeStites(at)gmail.com

For Father’s Day, Alicia (who happens to be my sister!) gifted Rene’ with some fabulous family portraits. His daughter Makayla lives on the west coast with her mother and Rene and Alicia get her during the summer and the winter holidays. He needed some good pictures of he and his daughter!!

You know how some pregnant women just look gorgeous and like the vision of picture-perfect baby belly?! Yeah, that’s Robin. It’s like she was made to have gorgeous maternity shots taken! She and I have known each other for 6 or 7 years and a couple years ago she moved with her husband to North Carolina, she knew she was going to be back here for a friends wedding and called to book a session!

Shooting Robin and Anthony was cake, they’re both easy going and, hello! super photogenic, not to mention hilarious be sure to check out the so funny ‘Baby Maker’ shirt!

I’m a sucker for good looking packaging and wrapping.  When it’s Christmas or birthday time, watch out, most likely you’ll find me at the center of a ribbon and paper frenzy!

I won’t deny that I get all excited and giddy when it comes time to prepare prints or albums for client pick-up. Here’s a peak at how I package my Little Black Books from Boudoir Sessions.

The albums are wrapped in black tissue paper then black ribbon and sealed with a round stickers. I also tuck a couple business cards inside.

In every one of my orders I include a thank you note. Just a simple note thanking them for their business, letting them know if they need anything else please contact me, and explaining my referral program.

Finally, the lid goes on with one more bigger label on top.

If you’re interested in where I purchased any of these products, I’ve put together a list below.

Black Tissue Paper- Nashville Wraps
Black Ribbon- Hobby Lobby
Round Stickers-  Kitty CrossBones.
Business Cards- WHCC
Personalized Notes- Vista Print

I get lots of emails asking for specific information on the Little Black Book that comes with the Boudoir Sessions, so I thought I’d help clear the confusion with some pictures.

The Little Black Book is a 4×6 handmade album and includes 20 prints of your choice. Since each album is handmade, it takes between 3-5 weeks to arrive. The cover material is a gorgeous all black brocade.
