So, (drum roll please!) and a  BIG CONGRATULATIONS to the lucky winner ~  Stacie G. of The Plains, Virginia!

Many times clients are unsure of what to have their children wear.  I have loads of suggestions and ideas to share.  Call me and we can discuss some fun alternatives to the “typical” photo Christmas cards.  Santa is also available to join your child in their session!  Ho Ho Ho!!!

Our Christmas sessions are very limited and must be completed by November 7th to ensure a timely delivery of your cards.

As an added benefit, you will be able to purchase any additional gift portraits of your choice at our reduced “Create Your Own”  (“CYO”) prices! 

Last year, we personally had SO MANY compliments on our family’s photo Christmas cards – it was amazing!  The cool thing was it was like giving a small gift portrait to each person on our list!  In fact, many of our family and friends left them sitting out all year!  The quality and design is truly upscale to anything you have seen!   Call the photo studio if you have any questions or would like to see samples.

Oh goodness, we had such a fun time in the studio with all our “Go Team Go” sessions!  With so many little fans I am a bit behind in editing but I wanted to post just a couple that are my favs so far.  Redskins were the favorite team by far but we also had some young boys that wore their team gear from our local football club here in Warrenton, Virginia - the Falcons!  Check them all out!  Aren’t they just the cutest?? 

I love this one!  The eldest boy came up with this “pose“!! 

More sneak peeks later!

Do you love the Washington Redskins?  Or, their rival, the Dallas Cowboys?  “How ’bout them HOKIES” from Virginia Tech?  Maybe it’s the USC Trojans or UVa Cavaliers – “Wahoo Wa” - that make you shout!  What about the Maryland Terps, WVU Mountaineers, George Mason Patriots, Atlanta Falcons, Baltimore Ravens or Orioles, Green Bay Packers, Washington DC “Nats” Nationals or Wizards, Chicago Cubs or Bears…no matter who your favorite team is…BRING YOUR KIDS AND ALL THEIR TEAM GEAR TO THIS EXCITING EVENT!  GO TEAM GO!
