Capturing your child's personality is sometimes more important than the perfect smile (though I strive for that too!).  Carole makes you session relaxed and enjoyable for you and your children.

Baby's First Year Plan

Capture your baby's first year with this new Baby's First Year Plan.  This is a great way to guarantee you will make the time to get your baby's portrait taken.  The first year goes so quickly, you don't want to miss it!  This is a great gift idea for the baby you know will get everything!

For $200 the plan includes (Savings of $137):

4 sessions with one free 8x10 portrait per session (if you want a different size than the 8x10, you  may  substitute any other sizes of equal value).  No obligation to purchase additional portraits - though we post them online (private, if needed) to make ordering easy for you and your family.  The sessions need to be used within 18 months.

25 custom designed birth announcements (additional announcements may be purchased at $1 per announcement).  These are unique and beautiful and include the text and portraits you choose.  (Normally, you need a $200 minimum purchase to get the $1 per announcement price, but with the plan no minimum applies.)

For an additional $225 (paid at the time of purchasing Baby's First Year Plan) you get a unique, professionally-designed hard cover bound coffee table book (7x7) with 12 sides and up to 15 images from your four sessions.  The regular price for these books is $350.  You can choose to wait to pay for this until the end of the four sessions, but the price is then $275.

The published image prices at the time you purchase the plan will be honored until your plan is complete.

The following times are good guidelines for capturing the first year:

Maternity - when you are 7 or 8 months pregnant.  You usually feel pretty good at this time and still look very pregnant!  This can be done of you alone or with your family.

Newborn - within the first 2 weeks of the baby's birth.  They lose the "newborn" look so quickly - you want to do this one right away!

About 3 months - this is when they start to interact - smiling, cooing and they can usually hold their head up easily.

About 6-9 months - when they can sit up but can't yet crawl.

About 1 year - when they can stand but aren't yet great runners!  (I know - there's always one baby that does everything early!)

When you purchase the Baby' First Year Plan, we'll talk about which 4 of the above would work best for you and your baby.  I'll send you a reminder postcard or email a couple weeks before to remind you to call and schedule your session.  If you decide you need to add a session and 8x10 during the Plan, you can add it for an additional $50.
