What fun I had photographing Lil E at her costume party ballet class today! The little one in the photo at top left was a chocolate dipped strawberry! Her mom made the costume herself... too cute!

Thanks, C, L, & Lil S for a great day! I had alot of fun but I hope I didn't work you too hard!!!

oh! baby and other packages/products

So a few clients have inquired about services and products in addition to holiday cards, which is the only thing I have on my website thus far. The answer is: YES!!! I absolutely will be advertising my other services which include:


Birth Announcements

Birthday Invitations (and thank you cards!)

"We've Moved" cards

Senior portraits, including Senior Ad page design

Realtor Marketing design (postcards, newsletters, etc)

and, of course, almost any product you can think of to do with a photo, such as: storyboards, ready-to-hang canvas prints, hardbound books, photostamps, jewelry, and even purses!


Recently, a wonderful friend and client wanted to purchase a baby announcement package to give to a friend who is expecting a child. I suggested the "Oh! Baby Card&Photo Package", which will include a newborn session, a 5-10 image gallery of custom-proofed images, a Keepsake 8x10 print, and a set of custom designed cards*. The gift giver will recieve the little acrylic box below to present to her at the shower and the mother-to-be can schedule at her convenience after the little one arrives. She can even replace the 3.5x3.5 design cards with photos and use it to decorate the nursery! I think it turned out really cute, don't you?


So STAY TUNED! I am working on the other packages and such between holiday card shoots so I can rework my website to reflect these products and services after the holidays. But I will post any sneak peeks of my other projects until then right here on this blog...

*A choice of card sizes and numbers is similar to the holiday card offering now on imagesby138.com

Thanks for visiting!

Location Scout: Fullerton Arboretum

Since we took her out of private school this year, I feel compelled to be more on top of the moral character development if I hope to raise my children with proper manners and good taste. The Girl Scouts will hopefully be a good complement to what we do at home everyday. I just can't take how old she looks here! But so mature to feign a smile although definitely not happy about Mom behind the camera... again!
