And the winner of the extra $100 print credit from purchasing a session during this weekend’s special is Tiffany Smith! =)
This week, I received a card in the mail from the City of Spring Valley. It was a beautiful handmade thank you card thanking me for the funds donated to Park & Rec from our Halloween event. I truly love this event and am so thankful for the support I get from my staff, family, friends, our clients and the entire community during this event and through the entire year. Thank you all! 
With that said, a huge special THANKS…to my clients, whom without, I would not be able to do what I love! You are ALL blessings in my life and I’m better to have known you. Thank you for trusting in me and my assistants, opening your lives and your hearts to me. Creating the images of your lives and your loves truly makes my job so amazing.
And just in time for Black Friday + Small Business Saturday + Cyber Monday and all of your upcoming gift giving needs…… A sale! Give me a call or shoot me an e-mail and I will get an invoice sent to you. Happy Thanksgiving and Happy Shopping!
Today, I hope we all take a moment to thank a Veteran for their service.
In honor of Veteran’s Day, I wanted to feature some of my clients who have served or are currently serving. If you’re a Veteran, thank you. Let’s not forget the sacrifices of those who are serving or have served and their families! Thank you for your service.. I appreciate it to no end.
If you know a Veteran, tell them I said thank you.

Gosh! What a fun night! Still am in shock and awe over the turnout we had at the studio on Friday night. At one point when I happened to turn around and saw the line going out to the front room, I was absolutely amazed by the turn out even though it was so cold outside. Each year, I think, how can we top last year? This year will be a BIG challenge to top next year!
A HUGE thank you to everyone that came into the studio on Halloween night to help raise some money for Spring Valley Park & Rec, to check out the studio all decked out for Halloween, a treat and some games. We truly appreciate the support and hope you had as much fun as we did setting it up.
The final tally for the funds raised for Spring Valley Park & Rec is $950!!!!! Wow! You all rock! Thank you!
Also, a big thank you to Steph at Chateau de Chic for doing my make up for the night, my assistants and friends for putting in about 50 hours this year in total decorating and moving stuff in and out of the studio, and my Aunt Sandy Bauer for dressing up as Kristoff and helping everyone fill out their order form. Lastly a big thank you to my Aunt Lynn and Uncle Marvin Brandt for letting me borrow some of their Halloween stuff to deck out the studio once again.
With all that said, here’s a video of just some of the sights and sounds at the studio on Halloween. Enjoy!
My adorable cousins!

Santa is coming and giving out cookies to good little girls and boys! He has treats for pets too!
Come & meet Santa in your Christmas best or pajamas and get to know him with a candid conversation, going over their Christmas list, seeing whether they’ve been naughty or nice, eating cookies, reading a book, or playing. Best of all you will be able to skip the long wait in mall lines!
Join us in the studio for a magical experience in his toy workshop!
