New Year, New Pricelist, New Sale!!!

Happy (belated) New Year to you all! I've been so blessed to pursue my "hobby" as a (side) job, though I can't really consider it a job - more like playing with other people's kids :) Thank you to all my family, friends, and friends of friends who've encouraged me along the way. I hope to implement a few changes to whitney jill photography, but first is the pricelist. I've been long overdue for updating this to reflect my time and talent in creating unique memories. With this new pricelist comes a SALE!!! Who doesn't like a sale?! For the months of January and February I will be offering HALF off prints (8x10 and smaller). A full paid sit fee is due at the time of your session as usual. The minimum $50 print order (after taking half off) is still in effect.

***If you've already booked a session with me (or are waiting for your proofs to view/order) you are still locked in at the 2008 prices.

Thanks so much for considering me to capture some memories.
God Bless!

Outta here!

Well, the tree HAD to go! I don't think I could get it out quickly enough! The day after Christmas was spent taking the trimming (and needles) off the tree. I now have the Charlie Brown Christmas theme song in my head as I stare at this pathetic tree. The pictures really do not do it justice. We literally had more than 95% of the needles on our floor. Can you believe it? I can still say I would do it again for the mere $13 it cost to get the beast - she was a beaute while she was shining :) Hope you all had a very Merry Christmas and have a happy and healthy New Year! Here's a short recap in pix of Christmas Day...........

Jackson was about this excited the entire day.........poor buddy was NOT feeling well......thank goodness for some recup time lately.

Do you see Reece in the background in tears b/c he did NOT get a WMU sweatshirt like the two of us? Crazy how I never had a Broncos hoodie until Steve and Barry's goes out of business and we can afford the el cheapo matching ones...........gotta love this economy :)

So........we stuck the hoodie on the pouter and he cheered right up (note to self: next Christmas, buy enough matching apparel for the whole family)

Tim was pretty excited for his baby shopping cart cover (I mean disguised Nintendo DS).

Grandma Holden and all the grandkiddies!

Seen better days...

So those of you who have followed me on facebook are well aware of the tree saga........we were so impressed to get an 8+ foot REAL tree for $13......of course we had to hunt it down and haul it out of the forest ourselves. Tim's (good) gloves suffered a little sap which I was able to get COMPLETELY out with Goo gone. Just when I was ready to boast about this newfound stain remover I noticed one of my larger compact flash cards had made it through the washer - nice! After a week of airing out a bit I was able to retrieve all the images.........though I do not trust the longevity of this memory card. So this made our tree a little bit more pricey. Reece also added to the cost of the tree by knocking the entire (decorated) thing onto the floor. Thank goodness he was left unharmed and only a few ornaments broke........add a few more bucks to the price of this tree. Now it is losing needles if I even but think about it! I managed to get a few shots of it before it turned into the "Charlie Brown" tree it's become (not really, but I literally vacuum needles off the branches each day - my OCD nature). So, that's my Christmas tree story of 2008! Hope you all enjoyed it :) It has all been worth having the fresh-cut tree smell in our house and being blessed to be able to have a home to enjoy it in. May you all remember the true meaning of Christmas as you celebrate this season! God Bless!

You can find me...

I know I've neglected the blog lately - partly because I've been busy with holiday ordering/editing and partly due to the fact that I now have a Facebook account. You can find some of our recent happenings on the Wall now :) And does this little man look sick to you??? Why can I get a nice expression on his face when he's SICK?!!! I guess some things will never make sense :)

Just had to!

I'm in the middle of editing this session and I keep coming back to this shot - she's such a little cutie patootie that I just had to post this one!

Post-it notes from a 5 year old

Just had to post this sketch and note my oldest left me tonight at the computer desk (aka: my throne lately). Not sure exactly what his plans are but it must involve glue and this monkey he drew. Love it!!!

Is this all the love I get?!!!

I know, I shouldn't complain (at least I have three healthy little rugrats), but my boys just don't want to cooperate (the way I ideally envision them cooperating). Tim was so kind to head out to our newest photo backdrop to try some more shots with our boys. I've been quite busy capturing moments for other moms that I haven't taken advantage of the beautiful fall days we've had with my own boys. I still have to decide which image will make the Christmas card, but this was about the best one of all three of them last night. Boys will be boys I guess :)
