Santa Claus is coming...

to our studio!!!

This is amazing news. I found Santa & he is right here in Pine Bush. At least for this month & then he will go back to his real home to check on all of the toys ;) If you want your child to have an amazing encounter with Santa that they will never forget read on. He will be at my studio on November 9th & 16th & maybe the Sunday after Thanksgiving if needed. If any of you want to bring your children to have cookies & milk with Santa, now is your chance. These will be 1/2 hour sessions, so the kids will have plenty of time to go over their list, take lots of photos with him, share some cookies & milk & receive a small gift. Parents can even bring up an early gift for their child & Santa will give it to them. No more waiting in line to see him for 1 photo, our sessions will cost $50.00 with up to 4 children & you will get 1 5X7 free of my choice. Of course you will be able to look at the photos online & chose others if you would like I also have Christmas Cards in case you are interested. These sessions are going to book fast, so call for your session now. 845-733-4563 This photo of Santa was taken by Mary Williams & he has his own site http://www.deckerthehalls.net/ if you have any questions. I have been blogging as well, here is the site... http://www.wsbinportraits.blogspot.com/ & my main site is http://www.wsbinportraits.com/ If you don't have small children, but know of others, please forward this email to them.

Great Kids, Great Day!

So we arrived back from Mexico & I had a few sessions lined up for my first day back. I was well rested & ready to start shooting. The first family met me & the kids offered to help with my equipmet. I almost feel over, I am usually carring my camera, a heavy battery, reflectors & my largest softbox, light & tripod. I took the kids up on that & had the best session. They did everything I told them to & holding hands at that age can be icky... no way, they did it. I thought the day couldn't get better. Guess what... it did. The next family came with all the kids smiling, even the baby. Wow!!! Plus "Dad" helped me so much. All the parents took part in keeping to sun off the kids faces. By the time the day was over, I was on cloud 9. Thank you all for making my first day back a pleasure!!!

Our Soccer Season

We always have the best kids on our soccer team. As the sponsor, I feel that I should take pictures of our players. We have had some kids from last year, so they knew the drill. I gave them each an 8 X 10 of their close-up & the team. Way to go!!!! We had a great year! Thanks for the memories.

Vacation in Mexico

My husband & I decided to celebrate our 15th Anniversary in Mexico this year. We had a blast & loved it. I was feeling well rested & had fun playing with my camera & actually not taking pictures of people. We only have a handfull of pictures with us in them :( Here are a few...

A dear friend...

This is one of my best friends & she surprised us all with her news. We are all excited & wish her the best of luck. You look great!

Congrats to Cali!!!

Meet Cali, the newest pet in our studio. She was panting the entire time & we struggled to get a few with her mouth closed. "Mommy" informed me that Cali might be carring puppies, but it was too soon to tell. When Mom came to pick up her photos, we were got the great news. The puppies will be here around Thanksgiving. Good luck & let us know when the new pups arrive!!!

Family Time...

I had some great outdoor sessions this fall. Both families were great. Here are some of the items we ordered. A collage & Thanksgiving cards.
