See?  I warned you!  So cute you can hardly stand it, right? I’m thankful that this sweet kiddo is the newest addition to a family that I love dearly, and I’m excited to watch him grow up.  Congrats you guys, and thanks for letting me capture this exciting time for your family!

As a side note, the winter 2012 Sweet Pea Photography schedule will be opening up early next week!! If you aren’t on my email list and would like to be notified when the calendar opens, let me know and I’ll add you to the list.  I’m excited about some fun things I have planned for this year, and I’m even more excited about spending time with families like yours!!

… it will be warm and green outside again… just a few months more… but until then, I’ll still be having fun spending time with awesome families like this one!  Soon I’ll be opening up the winter schedule for Sweet Pea Photography, with sessions available in January through March.  If you’d like to be notified when the schedule opens (because it tends to fill up very quickly!) please email and let me know!

A quick reminder that the Holiday Gift Certificate Sale ends TOMORROW!!  Remember: for every $225 gift certificate (which can be used toward session fees, prints, albums, canvases, digital collections, or any other product I offer) that you purchase between now and December 16, 2011 — you can choose to either receive an additional $50 print certificate totally FREE to use toward print and product purchases from your session… OR receive one full-res digital file from your session earlier this year (a $150 value!!) These Holiday Sale certificates never expire – so you can use them anytime! Just send me an email or just give me a call at 217.637.1657. The only fine print is that this offer is only valid for gift certificate purchases completed (ordered and paid in full by cash or check) by December 16, 2011 – so call or email me today before it’s too late!

And since no post is complete without a picture or three… here’s a great family I’ve been photographing for the past 5 years, since their kindergartener was a newborn!
