My Christmas Card for 2009

Though my card will go out late this year... better late than never! These are my daughters Anika (7 about to be 8) and Jaida (4 going on 14!)! They take up all my time but I know it will all be worth it some day when I am old and grey.

Roy & Pat and Family

Thanks Pat for coming back at Christmas time to order more of you wonderful pictures. I also want to thank you and your husband for the nice words of encouragement and support. At this time of year I am so busy, I forget to stop and realize how lucky I am to have so many people believe in me and pick me to capture their families. All my best. (This is only my first draft so let me know what you think)

Trish & Family

Trish - you can use this family for any one of these or just pick the pics you want and a basic style and all can be mix and matched.

This is a very new card for me and it is late, so it may not be even close to what this family will want but I liked it, so I posted it for all to see (for now). Trish will let me know what direction I should go from here. And yes, the dog was a smart as it looks and made me miss my very first dog ever - Snowball and her puppy Tippy. And yes, some day we will have a dog again. There is nothing like the family pet to make people relax and smile!

Crystal's Card Samples

I hope I am not making this final choice on their card harder... I just keep coming up with just a few more versions. I have posted a couple of the family pictures that we picked out - I love my job and feel very luck to have been given the chance to capture what matters the most in life ... families, children, laughter, love... life.

Lolita 5x7 Test Card & Large Print Test

This is a 40 inch by 30 inch print to be mounted on a light weight board called gator board. You can hang them flush to the wall with these wonderful velcro strips and you can also slip them behind a simple frame - no matting or glass needed! This is for Lolita to approve and make any changes needed. Can not wait to see it printed!

Another test before going to print.

Holt Christmas Card

I think we may be done. This is one final check for Leah before they go to print. Thanks for your patients and for supporting my photography. It was a joy to capture your wonderful children!
