Our Matilda Jane Trunk Show will remain open for 48 hours. So, get me those orders by Monday! If you didn't stop by, you missed out! This line of clothes is the best I've seen - I absolutely adore them! Please let me know if you have any questions.
Meet Miss C. She truly was a delight - barely making a peep the entire time. I had such a great time with her gracious parents and I promise them that I should have these finished soon! Thanks for the opportunity you guys!
And, who can resist this face?!
Since my last post, there has been so much change in our lives. In January we lost a good friend of our family, Stevie Potts. He was someone you admired because you saw how much love he held in his heart - his family was the most important thing in his life and he was a wonderful Grandfather who will be forever missed.
Just a couple of weeks later we lost a beautiful young woman in a tragic car accident, Ashley B. Peters, just shy of her 19 birthday. We hold this family close to our hearts and ask that you pray for healing for her mom Tammy, dad Wade and brother Regis. Their hearts are in such pain and we need to lift them up. Please visit her blog to learn more about the life she lived and the witness she can be to all of us: http://ashleymichellebond-peters.blogspot.com/
And, finally, on February 15, my grandfather, better known as Pa, died. He had been struggling with Congestive Heart Failure and his body finally lost its battle. I can't put into words how much I loved this man. Such a person of respect and love, he has taught me so much. I miss him so.
And, a picture that makes me smile. It represents hope and renewal, something I think we all can use from time to time.
I hope you all have had a wonderful holiday season and a happy new year! With the new year, there will be some great changes in store. Please look soon for a new website, new collections and new pricing. We will also soon have a new online ordering system and you will be able to pay via credit cards. We hope to make the ordering process more customer friendly!
I look forward to the upcoming year with you all!
I hope your day has been as great as ours. Remember to take the time for those you love and enjoy the true meaning of the day! Merry Christmas from us to you!
These are beautiful! I love everything about them and I am so excited to finally have them! These make wonderful keepsakes that families will enjoy for years to come. Can't you just feel the warm fuzzies you'll get from hanging them on your tree year after year!
Here are a few we just got in:
Any extra orders that need to be purchased for Christmas MUST be in by Monday December 17 at 10:00am. That is the final deadline!
Jewelry orders - please keep your fingers crossed! All the jewelry is made in Oklahoma, and if you watched any news lately, you know that the weather there is simply terrible. They are working under awful circumstances to get everyone's orders out and shipped this next week. The snow and ice has caused power outages and dangerous conditions - keep them in your prayers too. I will go ahead and make cards for every jewelry order so that you won't be empty-handed at Christmas.
If you have any concerns, please feel free to contact me!
I had a great opportunity to spend some time with beautiful Ms. A and her wonderful mother. She is such a natural beauty and incredibly poised - it makes my job so much easier! This was such a great session. Enjoy girls and I should have the rest finished shortly!
This is one of my favorite sessions to date. There are a couple of these that are stop you in your tracks kind of gorgeous! I am in love with this session and want to hang some of these in my own house!!
Both Ms. P and Ms. R are adorable and fun. We had such a fun time together!
I also think this is the perfect opportunity to stress how important clothing choice is in the overall outcome of your portrait session. These little girls are dressed perfectly! It makes my day when I arrive on a location and discover such wonderful outfits. No, clothing doesn't make the portrait, but it definitely will affect the feeling your session will take. Bold, yet simple textures work extremely well, as do complimentary tones. Keep in mind skin and hair colors when choosing outfits also - it all plays together. I'm always here for suggestions!
And, thank you girls for a great time!
Absolutely Adore this one!
Beautiful Vintage TreatmentThese beautiful little one's are one of my best friend's children. Aren't they adorable? I can't believe how big they are getting! I love you guys!
Little Ms. B and Mr. J were such a joy! It is sweet families like this one that make my job so enjoyable! We had a wonderful weather and the kids were able to romp and explore as only little ones should. How adorable are they?!
These ornaments are just beautiful! I've been on the lookout for the perfect holiday ornament to offer you - simple, yet elegant, but also one that doesn't overpower the picture it contains. Let me know if this is something you want to add in on your order. These are wonderful keepsakes and gifts. I can't think of a better way to decorate for Christmas!
The photo is sealed with lead-free solder between two pieces of thick glass. Choose from 2x3 beveled glass, flat glass or beveled circle design. It will be personalized with a silver tag with a name or the year. Unless you specify otherwise, I will convert your photo to black and white for best results.
The back paper will coordinate with your ribbon choice: green polka dot, red polka dot, red/white polka dot, cream, or traditional plaid.
That's what these little girls are made of! These girls were so kind and sweet! They toughed it out through some chilling winds and in the end, we got some beautiful captures.
These two sisters were so much fun! We had the best time just goofing around together! By the end of the session, we already had ideas for next time. Thanks for the fun afternoon you two! (I hope you got your Japanese food - you deserved it!)
Come and go all too quickly - savor them while we can! The warm afternoon light cast the most wonderful golden glow on a sweet tea party enjoyed by these sisters. Beautiful fall colors and beautiful girls make a wonderful match! And, a special thanks to their gracious grandparents for all the scenery (all the time!). Thanks you guys!
Aren't they just beautiful! Little Miss M hung in there in the cool evening air and big brother C was so attentive and loving! He's going to be teaching her so much! Thanks guys!
Just look at the love! Such a great family! Ms. C is absolutely adorable and was so good that she was able to get her Dora surprise...who could ask for more?!
