January Faves and Upcoming February Special

It's been so crazy for me since Christmas but I'm up and going again. I've had some great sessions this month as well as a lot of new ideas and things to try out. I was able to attend Imaging USA earlier this month and I'm full of new ideas. Some nights I haven't even been able to sleep because my brain is going so fast. Imaging USA is the national conference of The Professional Photographers of America. This was my 3rd year to attend and probably the best one yet. Luckily it was in New Orleans so I didn't have to travel too far. I attended lots of great classes and of course bought some great new items and props for the studio. I want to begin with my upcoming special for the month of February. One of the great things about Imaging USA is the Expo that they provide for us to see and try new products. It's like my Christmas! I've discovered a new lab for my Gallery Wrapped Canvases and I'm offering 30% off my prices this month only. Sooooo if you've been wanting a canvas or thinking about it...now is the time.

Now for the images.  

I've had some great sessions this month.  January is typically slower since Christmas and the Holiday season is over but I've been so busy and so blessed!

Here are some of my faves of the month...ENJOY!

Holiday Card Samples and Holiday Deadlines..

It's been a great year at Amy Johnson Photography and I thank each and everyone of my clients for making this the best one yet!  I am now officially booked for 2011 and will only be taking newborn and Baby Plan clients until 2012.

Please find below my Christmas Card samples for 2011.  Just like previous years, please choose a style that you like and then we can work out the colors, sayings, bible verses and images to put on the cards.  I am limiting all clients to one choice this year.  Because of the season and because I am a mom first and foremost, I can't spend countless hours designing multiple cards for you to choose from.  I hope you understand.  If there are elements that you would like combined into one card that is fine.

Card Prices this year are as follows:

Cards are available in sets of 25.  The first set of 25 is $40.  Please add $30 for each additional 25.  Cards are also two-sided and are printed on cardstock.  Envelopes are included.

 

Deadlines for Christmas Cards will be November 19th for any session completed before that date.  PLEASE get your information to me ASAP if you have already completed your Holiday Session.  

Mini Session Information....Updated October 16, 2011

Please book now for Studio Mini's on Saturday, November 5, 2011.  These will be scheduled for 20 minutes and will be offered in 30-minute intervals that morning beginning at 9:00.  You will have a choice of two different setups.  Call me at 601-946-6723 to book your time slot.

 

With that being said, I only have 3 more openings for outdoor mini sessions.  These will be held at a Brandon location on Sunday, October 30.  The times I still have available are 2:30, 3:00 and 3:30.  These will be the last of the sessions that I will offer for the 2011 Holiday Season.  I will only be accepting newborns and sessions with those currently enrolled in my Watch Me Grow Plan effective today, October 17th.

August Faves..

I know I've been MIA this month in posting my August faves.  I've been working on Christmas Cards and getting ready for Holiday Sessions.  I posted my Holiday Mini Session information yesterday.  Please book early to get your preferred date and spot.  These are the ONLY mini sessions I will do this season.  Once they are booked, I will have a waiting list but only Full Regular Sessions will be available and those dates are limited!

Well here are my August faves..

I had the pleasure of photographing some sweet and precious newborns this month!

 
 

 
 

And what is better than one newborn?  TWO!!!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Framing Options at Amy Johnson Photography

 
So many times I hear from my clients that they still haven't framed their images and they are still sitting in boxes or drawers waiting to be hung on display.  Well I have a solution for you.  I have two great companies available for framing options:

April Savell of Funky Frames here in Brandon is my first supplier.  April's frames are entirely handmade and totally fabulous!

She has lots of colors (cute names to go with them too) and trim styles to choose from.

 

In addition to Funky Frames I now can offer framing from Firefly Frames and Design.  This is a wonderful company and I have several samples here in the studio.  You choose the size, color, and trim style and I'll take care of the rest.  I'll even have the print framed for you and delivered it to you ready to hang!  Now how easy is that?

 

Sweet Newborn Annabelle..

I had the pleasure of meeting sweet baby Annabelle yesterday for her first official photoshoot.  Let me tell you..this little one is one lucky girl.  With two parents who are crazy about her and a big brother who said "he was going to protect her from monsters" she is one LOVED little one. So sweet.

I love these little close-ups!

 
 
Big brother Noah is quite the charmer as well...Love his blue eyes.

 
Is this not a gorgeous family or what???

 
 
 

Mom made this outfit, ruffled bloomers and the headband!  I wanted to steal it!
 
 

 

Early AM Twin Session..

It is HOT here in Mississippi.  We started our session Wednesday at 7:30 and I was still dripping wet by the time we finished.  The kids did great though.  I love this location and loves the images that I captured.  Enjoy!

 
Asher has the most beautiful eyelashes!

 
Sweet baby girl!

 
Big brother got in a few shots of his own..

 
But got really bored waiting on a group shot!  This one makes me laugh..I just couldn't edit it out!

 

Cutie Patootie Dru..

Dru came to see me on Monday for his first photo session with me.  At 6 months he was such a doll....and totally adored by his parents.  I love watching parents during sessions as they laugh and smile at their swet babies and I love including them as well.  They were over the moon in love with him!  I put together this collage of my fave family images..

 
 
So Sweet!

 
 

Sweet 4M Olds

Well I had two 4M old sessions back to back this past weekend.  Frazier came to see my first and I couldn't get over how big he's gotten and how much he's changed!

 
Big Brother Carter sure does love his little brother..

 

Saturday sweet Eli came to see me.  He is a total chunk and I LOVE those eyes of his!  So blue and amazing!

 
 
 

 

Outdoor Sessions From Last Week..Sneak Peeks

Well Summer is officially here in Mississippi even though we've been suffering high temps for several weeks already.  The best time to book a session in a Mississippi summer is early in the morning or late in the afternoon.  Afternoons are probably best..I don't feel the humidity as bad but of course late afternoons aren't always great for my itty bitty clients.  Last week I had 2 great outdoor sessions.

First I met Anna Basile for her 2Y session.  I can't believe she's grown up so fast...Loved her baby ponytail...even though it didn't last long after she got a hold of it!

 

I love this profile shot of that sweet face!
 

This is after the ponytail came out.  One of my faves from the day!

 
Later in the week, I met with the Smither's family for Wyatt's 9M session.  He has some killer blue eyes!  LOVE them.

 
I brought an umbrella for big sister and she handled it like a pro!  I just had to make a little collage of her!

 

Sweet brother and big sister..

 
 

 

Presleigh at 8 Weeks..

I had the great pleasure of meeting sweet Presleigh and her adoring family on Wednesday for her 8W session.  She was a champ...totally awake and looking all around.  I can't believe how strong she was.  I sometimes can't get my 4M olds to do this pose and she totally rocked it!

 
Look at those beautiful blue eyes!

 
Mom Lauren was over the moon in love with her..so sweet!
