Greg and I are leaving on our cruise this Sunday…we’re both very much looking forward to some time away and getting to relax on the beach for an entire week! I’m a tiny bit nervous and sad to leave Will, but I know he’ll be in good hands and probably won’t even realize I’m gone ;) I will be out of the office from 7/25 through 8/1 without access to email or phone calls. If you need to get in touch with me, please do so immediately! I will return all communications on 8/2.

If you are inquiring about a session, please fill out my client information form that can be found here. More information about sessions can be found on my investment page. I do still have holiday mini-session spaces available and would absolutely love to work with your family to create lasting memories this holiday session!

And because no post is complete without a picture, here’s one of my guy from our 15 month shoot. I’m gonna miss him next week!Black and white image of a toddler running through a field in Round Rock, Texas.

Libby Ann Photography has a new look! It’s not drastically different, but I’m loving the change and the added color to my web identity. :) What do you think? Please bare with me over the next few days as I update my website and blog…lots of cute faces are going to be added to galleries and featured on the main page, so keep an eye out for your kiddo!

On another business related note, I still have spaces left for the holiday mini sessions. Contact me today to book yours!

I can’t believe it’s already time to plan for holiday sessions! I broke out my calendar over the weekend and blocked off two dates to offer these special mini sessions. I’ll be starting sessions at 8:00 am and taking sessions until 6:00 pm with a break for lunch in there…so there’s LOTS of space for sessions. I also have special mini-session pricing available for these sessions, so it should be budget friendly for all :) If neither of the dates works for you, please contact me. I have recently started offering mini-sessions (details can be found in the “investment” section of my website) and we can definitely find something to fit your family!

Congratulations! Send me an email and we can work out the details of getting your necklace to you. Thanks again to everyone who entered and to all my Facebook fans and clients! You guys mean the world to me!

Are you a fan on Facebook?** If you’re not, you’re missing out. I reached 400 fans a few weeks ago and I promised a giveaway once I reached that point. I’m now sitting at around 415 fans. I’m so lucky to have made such awesome friends through my business and I wanted to give a little bit back to you guys by offering a giveaway.

I hemmed and hawed over what to offer…a free session? Sweets? One of my favorite products? I ultimately decided against offering anything photo related because that would limit my giveaway. And I have some pretty awesome fans that live far, far away! So I searched Etsy and found a seller that I adore. She makes the most amazing, unique jewelry! I could have offered up her entire Etsy shop as a giveaway, but I finally found one piece that I just love. I love it so much, that I might just have to buy one for myself when I order the giveaway winner’s!

The winner of the giveaway will receive a beautiful personalized necklace like the one pictured above from E. Ria Designs. Entries will close May 23nd at 12:00am CST. You can earn up to four entries to this giveaway -

  1. Leave a comment on my blog telling me about one of your favorite childhood memories. Please make sure to include a working email address so I can contact you if you win.
  2. Become a fan on Facebook** and then post about this on your Facebook page with a link back to my blog. Then come back here and post the link to your facebook page. (Note: We either must be friends on Facebook or your profile must be public for me to verify this!)
  3. Follow me on Twitter. (Sorry for the lack of Tweets lately…it’s been busy!) and tweet about the giveaway. Come back and comment with a link to your public Twitter profile.
  4. Blog about the giveaway, including a link back to it. Then come back here and post the link to the blog.

Winner will be announced on Monday, May 24th! Good luck!

**(yes, I realize it’s no longer “fans”…but I much prefer the term “fan” to the term “like.” It’s very awkward to say, “Do you like me on Facebook?” Incredibly awkward. Incredibly.)

Happy Mother’s Day to all the mommies reading this! I hope you all had a fabulous day. I know I did…it was low-key and relaxed and filled with my two favorite people – Greg and Will! I got to sleep in until 8:00 and catch up on some much needed housework this morning. Then my parents came over and gave me the beautiful scarf seen in the pictures above and some dish towels that I just love. I got to have lunch out at Firehouse Subs (no wait!) with my boys, take a trip to Best Buy for a new external hard drive, and then do some shopping by myself. I can’t tell you the last time I was able to go run errands by myself…and as much as I love my husband and my son, it was really nice to have some time to myself. No baby fussing to be let out of the cart so he can go run through the aisles, no pacis and toys being thrown full force onto the ground. I was able to take my time, walk slowly through Barnes and Noble (hands down my favorite store) and enjoy ‘me” time.

Like I said, my day was really low key. But I haven’t had a day off from working in I don’t know how long and it was really really nice to get a break! Plus Greg took one of my new favorite pictures of me and Will, so I’m a happy girl! :)

In honor of Mother’s Day, I wanted to do something special for all my clients. I’m offering 15% off of any canvases ordered in the month of May. Email me if you’d like your gallery re-hosted (free of charge) for you to look through your images again…it doesn’t matter when your session was, the discount applies to everyone!

I hope your Mother’s Day was wonderful and filled with the people you love the most!

I’m buried in editing sessions and weddings…so sorry for neglecting the blog! I promise to do a real update on Will soon and have sneak peeks galore coming your way soon!

Anyway, back to the real point of this post. I am nearly booked for this summer, so if you’re waiting to get in on a session, please email me now. These are the dates I am available through July. Aside from newborns, I will not be taking on any more sessions other than these open dates. I will start taking bookings for fall sessions in August and have holiday mini-sessions planned in September and October. Man, is this year flying by! I am still available:

May 22 (morning session)
June 19 (morning session)
June 20 (evening session)
July 10 (morning session)
July 11 (evening session)
July 17 (morning session)
July 18 (evening session)

Thank you to all my amazing clients for making 2010 so wonderful! I can hardly believe all the people I’ve met, the newborns I’ve gotten to cuddle, and the couples I’ve gotten to see start their lives together. I am truly blessed to get to share life with you all! I will be launching some new product lines and packages in the fall and am so excited about it. Thank you all – you are the life behind Libby Ann Photography! :)
