Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween!
(and yes, I am just a liiittttle late posting this! The e-card went out on time, though!)
: )

Christmas Cards are here!

I am so excited to announce that I have started assembling my 2009 Christmas Card collection!

This year I will be offering three different types of cards:
Bifold Cards (5x7), Flat Cards (4x8), and Postcards (small and large).

All custom cards come printed on a high-quality, heavy duty card stock, not flimsy photo paper. They all have optional printing on the backs of the cards, for your personal holiday message. They also come with matching white envelopes. Return address labels are also available.

As a special Christmas promotion, I am offering a 25% discount on all orders placed before November 1, and a 10% discount on orders placed before November 15.

For a look at all of the 2009 Christmas Cards, check out the "Holiday Cards" tab on my website.

Here are a few of my favorites....

Spring Portrait Photoshoot! (part 2)

Today was Palm Sunday, and I must say how proud I was to watch my kids march down the aisle of the church I grew up in wearing their little white choir robes and waving their palm branches. I love not only that their lives are rich in tradition, but that in their generation, the world is a much bigger, brighter place. In a religious aspect alone, people in general feel more open to express their love of God. 25 years ago, we were surrounded by elders who prayed quietly to themselves and had more of an internal relationship with God, whereas today, the church elders feel comfortable enough to spread God's love by openly worshipping and praising Him. I am happy that my kids are able to be exposed to some of both. They see the importance of having a personal relationship and quiet time with God, yet they also see the power in praising Him, especially through music. There is nothing more touching than seeing my babies stand at the front of the church singing their hearts out for Jesus! I hope you had a great Palm Sunday, and that your Easter is filled with the joy and hope of Jesus!

Spring Portrait Photoshoot!

This Spring, Starfish Studios introduced its first all day photoshoot.  The 8 hour shoot was broken up into mini-sessions for 10 different families. The theme of the shoot was to celebrate the beginning of Spring, and part of that beginning is the coming of one of my favorite holidays, Easter. Easter is such a wonderful holiday, not only because of the impending change in weather, but because it symbolizes new growth and rebirth for all. Yes, the bunnies and chicks and chocolates are all great, but first and foremost, this season of rebirth stems from the death and resurrection of Jesus. 

In a world like the one we live in today, especially with the economy the way it is, it can be easy to lose sight of the most important thing of all. 

During this season, Jesus was sacrificed for all of us so that we may have eternal life. The miracle, of course, was that three days after he was crucified, he rose from the dead, as a symbol that God has given us eternal life in Him. 

What's better than that?

During this season of remembrance, I encourage each of you to remember the unconditional love that God gives us all. Whatever tough times are upon you now~and many of us have them~ remember that all things are possible through Him. If He can send His only son to die on a cross, and then raise Him from the dead, 

think of what He can do in our lives!

God Bless You and your families this beautiful Easter season!  

Here are the first five families from the all day shoot. 

Enjoy, and thanks for letting me love on and laugh with 

your precious kids!
