Round ‘em up & bring ‘em in!

Tuesday, November 10th, 2009

A two hour drive from Charlotte to Ashville awaits me for Thanksgiving day and I can already tell you what events are about to unfold. There are four key ingredients when it comes Thanksgiving.  1. Giving Thanks, 2. Family, 3. Food, and 4. Football.

If your family is like ours and the whole crew comes together only twice a year, take advantage of that time and bring them in for some family portraits. We still have space available for Thanksgiving weekend!

Portraits are a good change in the normal holiday festivities. We have the pleasure of updating the Willard family photo this year. Their family visited us in 2007 and with everyone back in Charlotte, they are coming in for an up to date session!

Show you care with a teddy bear…

Monday, November 9th, 2009

Our holiday special is officially under way and we are starting to see the teddy bears pile up! The new bears will be donated to the Salvation Army’s Women’s Shelter for Christmas in exchange for a FREE session and an 8×10 (a value of $129!). 

All the Christmas cheer has caused me to tune in to Christmas tunes on Pandora. Last year, my husband got on to me about all the Christmas music I put on “his” aka our ipod. He made me narrow it down to 20, which was a tough decision for a girl who starts planning for the season in September!  Here are some of favorites:

Its Christmas Time Again – Jessica Simpson

Baby Its Cold Outside – By anyone, lol

Santa Baby – again, by anyone who wants to sing it!

Blue Christmas – Elvis Presley (halarious for Karoke too!)

All I want for Christmas is You – Mariah Carey

Mistletoe – Colbie Caillat

Have yourself a merry little Christmas – Judy Garland

Winter Wonderland  - Frank Sinatra
