Refer a wedding, get a FREE portrait session!

I love referrals. My wedding and portrait photography business is based on it. I love my clients, who often become good friends. And I love to show my gratitude to my friends by offering something in return.

I have had this policy in affect for some time now, but wanted to actively publicize it here :)

Any client who refers a wedding to me (and the couple books their wedding photography though me) receives a FREE portrait session PLUS a $150 print credit.** That's a $245 value. And for each additional wedding client referred, earn an additional $100 print or album credit. Pretty good stuff!!!

Current wedding clients may use their referral credit to upgrade their package.

As always, I appreciate your referrals!! Its the greatest compliment you can give me.

**Portrait sessions must take place within 60 miles of Gulfport, Mississippi (and will inlcude New Orleans). Sessions can be family portrait sessions, newborn portrait sessions, Senior portraits, etc. Referral credits have no cash value and cannot be transferred. Referral credits expire 6 months from award date. New England referrals may still receive portrait sessions, although availability is limited.

Published in the July issue of Parents Magazine! Nathan's Story.

To know Nathan, is to know a real tough young man. Nathan was born with a congenital heart defect. As a very young child he endured multiple heart surgeries, only to learn he also suffered from Congenital Kyphosis. Which meant more surgeries. You wouldn't know it by looking at him. He's full of life and courage. we could all learn a valuable lesson by knowing his story, Nathan's Prayer.

His mother, Karen, is a talented writer, hoping to one day publish their story. Until then, Parent's magazine chose to share some of their story in the July 2010 edition of the magazine. Find the story online here.

You can imagine how honored I was to take photographs for the magazine article, and I'm excited to share them here! Pick up your copy today!

More Bella and Jonas!

I love this family!! I've had the pleasure of photographing them three of four times over the last 12 months. I love watching them grow!!!

"G", 6 months - Mississippi Gulf Coast Children's Photography

WOW! Little "G" is getting SO big!! It feels like yesterday I was doing his newborn session.

I got to play with him while his mommy finished getting ready. He was all smiles and "talking" up a storm - by talking I mean goos and gaas. Too cute.

I have the greatest job in the world!

I really do. I have the greatest job in the world. Look at this little guy and tell me its possible not to get a great photo of this baby. Truly. He was the perfect little angel. And he let us do all kinds of things with him while he slept. It's such a joy to be a part of people's happiest moments. Engagements, weddings, babies, families. It truly is always an honor when someone asks me to photograph the special moments in their lives.

We're taking family pictures WHERE?

Okay, so most people might think I'm weird. They schedule me for a family portrait and I tell them to meet me by an alley. I think they start to wonder if they should do a background check on me. But no, I have a clean record :)

I like color and texture and being a little different. That doesn't mean I don't do beach or park pictures. But sometimes, I like to mix things up a bit. And city scapes have just what I'm looking for; and yes, sometimes that means you may be taking your family portrait in an alley. Only if you want to of course, but I dare you to give it a try. You might like it.

I knew this family would be all for it. My camera LOVED these kids!! What little models! I hope I get to photograph them more often!!!

Portrait Party Teasers

So, I could have kept going.... but I'm just posting four pictures from each family, or else I'll be here all night!

First up, Bella and Jonas! You've seen them before many times :) Including their mom's maternity session. Her maternity photo was the one chosen to be published in The Bump Magazine!

Next up, Mr. "J" - what a cutie. Can I tell you how much the camera LOVES this little man. Seriously, I could have kept going all day. He is a handsome guy!

Misses "L" was next. She's very a very special baby girl, and I was honored to photograph her. We didn't get a lot of time together, because like many 4-month-old's she was ready for her nap. Hopefully her parents will bring her back for her 6-month session (and we can make it earlier, so it doesn't interfere with her beauty sleep)

Finally, another VERY special family. Misses "F" and Mr. "S". Misses "F" was my little angel of the day. She is a special miracle. "F" was born with Trisomy 18, and she is defying the odds and becoming quite the little lady, I must say! And her brother "S" loves her very much and held her for a brother and sister portrait.

Here's how it works. I need your comments. One special family will get a FREE 8x10 in addition to their portrait party package. (Don't forget Little "B" in the post below) So comment away - the picture with the most comments wins (vote 1-21, the number coincides with a photograph)
