Little Update..

2008-12-16T18:28:00.002-06:00

First of all..things are starting to slow down with the Christmas rush over so I am getting around to some things I have been working on for a while..haha! Since the move, I have changed a lot about the way things will work..I am working on new product lines, packages etc. so be checking back for those soon! Since I am in Missouri now, I'll be shooting mostly here or Kansas City, but will be in the Linn County area at least once a quarter so just be sure to schedule ahead of time for your spring and summer shoots!
Second of all, we had a little snow today so Emmagail and I went out to play ...here is a little bit of what we did..haha! More on our family blog at http://www.thebiggerstaffs.blogspot.com/ .

Let me tell you a bit about these two..they are so in love, as soon as you meet them you know they are just meant for each other. Of course I had a blast with them! Here is some of what we did yesterday..there are a lot I know, but I feel like I am neglecting my blog, but soon it will be back to normal with posting quite often..so bare with me..Enjoy these!

I just LOVE her dress, so vintage and elegant!

And they met at KU...

One last shot of the night...

Such a gorgeous cake!

Have a great time on the island Justin and Kristi!

Ashlynn

2008-09-08T17:53:00.005-06:00

Breahnna is ONE!

2008-09-08T17:19:00.004-06:00

I CAN'T believe how big this little one already is..it seems like yesterday she was just a newborn and now she is ONE! Anyways..she was such a good girl, and it was a good thing, because I have injured my knee somehow and I was happy to not chase her :) I LOVE the first one!!

Cori and Brandon!

2008-08-27T18:28:00.005-06:00

Saturday morning I woke up to rain! I was so bummed and worried because Cori and Brandon were planning an outdoor wedding at the Overland Park Arboretum. Luckily, it cleared off and turned out to be hot and beautiful! I LOVE this couple and we had a great time, even stayed late to capture more of the fun! Check out my new fisheye lens..LOVE IT! Congrats Cori and Brandon!

Baby Hudson!

2008-08-27T18:23:00.004-06:00

So last Saturday I was in KC for a wedding and Hudson's newborn portraits. This family has a special place in my heart, because when I was working in Kansas City I helped photograph their first baby, Spencer's newborn portraits and now I get to photograph them again for another year! I absolutely LOVE this first shot..haha..about 5 shots in, he was done with it :) I also got to snap some of Spencer, he is about the same age as Emmagail!

An Apology..

2008-08-27T18:08:00.004-06:00

Just wanted to apologize for neglecting my poor blog! I have been so busy lately, it's all I can do to shoot, edit and post the galleries let alone post..but I am trying to do better. I have two new shoots for you to check out from this weekend and a session I will share one from..of my little (not so little) girl, Emmagail from today..I finally took the time to go do some more formal shots of her. The rest will be on my family blog a little later at www.thebiggerstaffs.blogspot.com

As for other announcements, I have two: 1. We won't be having Santa back this year, we are just too booked through the end of the year, so much so, that I am not taking any new clients really unless I can fit them in somewhere.

2.We will be taking a LONG ROAD TRIP soon..we leave September 18th and will return around October 8th. We will be visiting some family in Idaho, going to Wyoming, Montana, Oregon and Northern California at the very least. I will of course be taking a TON of pictures to post here and on my Fine Artistry Blog so if you are interested, check back. In the meantime, we have around 7 sessions and a wedding before we leave so plenty to post about..haha! For now, here is one of my baby...

ORDER SPECIAL!

2008-08-18T17:26:00.002-06:00

Because I have been so busy lately and it is hard to keep up with my new job, I am going to run a special for all those still waiting to order. If you'd like to have your digital negatives on a cd to print where you'd like and you have had your shoot in the last three months, you can purchase your negatives for $150 for the entire session. I have never run a deal like this before, but I know at times it is hard to decide on what you'd like and I have been so busy with my Fine Art photography and new job that this may be a solution to help everyone out! If you'd like to take advantage of this offer, please allow up to two weeks for your cd to arrive by mail and send me an email with your name, address and time frame of your shoot. I will contact you about payment details.
THANK YOU!!

Designs for Approval

2008-08-18T17:20:00.007-06:00

Here are the last few designs waiting on the "go ahead" to order, let me know if there are any other changes!

SANTA?

2008-08-15T08:49:00.002-06:00

Okay so now that I am moved for the last time ;) and I have the net again, I need to know if you all want Santa to come back this year? We had a huge response last year, and I have had many requests this year already, however I am pretty much booked through the end of the year as it is, so if we do the Santa portraits again, I need to know how many people are interested. If you want to take a look at some of what we did last year you can look HERE
and HERE.
Thanks for voting!

UPDATE!

2008-08-13T08:58:00.001-06:00

Bittersweet Post..

2008-07-03T20:58:00.003-06:00

It is with a heavy heart that I write this post tonight..some of you may have heard already, but we are going to be re-locating. I was offered an awesome job working with a company that does business cards and postcard designs. They want to use some of my work as well as assign me some portrait projects, but I'll mainly be helping them as a production designer. This is an unbelievable opportunity for our family! While my photography business will still live on, this will be a way for me to branch out and get experience in the design field. I will be in Mound City every weekend through August for shoots and then I will be back at least one weekend a month if not more as needed. Like I said, my business remains in tact, the only things that will change is a phone number and that I won't physically be in Mound City all of the time, however shoots are scheduled ahead of time and will still go on as planned we will be running special Limited Edition sessions when we are back each month, so watch the blog for more info on those. While I am sad to leave our friends in Mound City, I also know that an opportunity doesn't come along like this every day and that I should take it. This is something I'll be doing in-conjunction with my photography business..so nothing will change really..just watch the blog for the dates I'll be near you so we can plan your shoot in advance!! On a sweet note, I have recently found out I am expecting another baby!! We are so excited! With so many changes happening at once I am just trying to keep up..haha! Like I said, watch the blog and website for phone number updates and the dates I will be in Mound City, everything else stays the same. I want all of you loyal customers and friends to know how dedicated I am to you and my business, so I hope you don't feel like I am leaving you..I'll be here every month or as much as needed, but I have to relocate to Warsaw, MO to be closer to my boss and to take this job. I will be updating you soon on what's going on..until then, thank you for your support..you have no idea how much it is appreciated! ~Amy
