Announcing Holiday deadlines and studio policy/procedure updates*

Fall sessions are wrapping up, the air is brisk and the Holiday’s are quickly approaching. It’s already time to start thinking about Holiday cards, gifts and sessions. Images by Kris will be running a couple of AWESOME early bird specials for Holiday sessions, cards and Organic Bloom Frames. The details are below. Be sure to place your order by the deadline so you don’t miss out on these deals!

Please take a moment to view our updated studio and gallery policy and procedures here, as well as our Holiday deadlines below. There are a few changes, and a couple of friendly reminders to assist in timely viewing and order fulfillment. I look forward to making your Holiday ordering and gallery viewing, as well as future ordering and gallery viewing as efficient and user friendly as possible. If you have any questions at all please contact the studio.

Wishing you a wonderful rest of the Fall (hopefully the leaves stick around for just a bit longer and an amazing Holiday season with your loved ones. Thank you for another wonderful year. I am truly blessed to have such amazing and creative clients as you!

I look forward to seeing you in the studio!

Cheers!

Holiday Order Deadlines 2012

Sessions
Sessions must take place no later than
December 4 for online gallery viewing before the Holidays.

Printing
All prints, enlargements, Holiday cards and canvas orders are due no later than
December 3 for Holiday delivery.

Specialty Services
Traditional albums, custom designed templates and traditional framing is due no later than November 27 for Holiday delivery.

GraphiStudio
GraphiStudio albums are due no later than October 22 for Holiday delivery.

OB Framing
The Organic Bloom framing has not offered Holiday deadlines this year. They will take orders until they can no longer guarantee them. Last year orders placed in October arrived before the Holidays. I would recommend placing your order ASAP. Let’s face it their frames rock and are very popular so their deadline is most likely approaching very quickly.

Don’t forget to schedule your Holiday session at least 2 weeks prior to the Holiday deadlines to ensure the delivery of your order.

Due to the high volume of orders during this time we cannot guarantee any orders placed or payments received for orders after the deadlines will be fulfilled before the Holidays.

These two cuties are ready for Spring! I love having these girls in for sessions and watching them grow! Happy Spring everyone!

Baby “M” was back in the studio for her 6 month session and we captured wonderful images of her fun personality! 

I can’t get over how cute these ankle cuffs were!
The talents of her Grandmother (Heather Baldridge of Custom Sewing by Heather) made her into the most adorable “cottontail” just in time for this spring session. 

Sometimes the colors are” just right.” This adorable owl outfit and pillows were also made by her Grandmother, what a lucky little girl!
