Schedule

CHRISTMAS IS COMING FAST!!!!
Hope everyone is doing great!

The Schedule is filling up fast. Our cut off on doing any pictures to be received by Christmas is December 17th. That is the absolute last day we can do any sessions with the expectations of receiving your prints back before Christmas Day. We are still doing sessions the week before Christmas, but no prints from these will be for Christmas Presents.

Remember, we can take care of all of your framing needs at the time of your print order. Save you that trip to the store and give you more time to do what you want and need to do!

God Bless,

December Pics of Gabby

To the friends of our business, both of our families live away from us so this is a forum that we use for them to see the latest pics of their granddaughter.

Hope everyone is doing well and remember that you still have time to get your family photos done for Christmas. Remember we can do photo Christmas cards also. Look at the special occasions link on the website.

thanks,
daryl

Thanksgiving

I hope everyone made it to where they were going and back home all safe and sound. I read that the day after Thanksgiving over 3000 tickets were given out in south Alabama. I don't know how many were given out in NC, but I know I saw about 20 people pulled over Saturday on the way back from the mountains. Hopefully, none of you were the ones I saw.

I know that I have plenty to be thankful for in my life and one of them is sitting right here on the floor of our den playing with her toys. Gabrielle is a true joy and blessing to Stephanie and myself. She is doing so well and will be 9 months old on Dec. 3rd.
I am also very thankful for my wife. Thankful that she puts up with me, supports me, and is my best friend. She is a wonderful mom to Gabby and does so well with our baby girl. Thanks babe!

The photo's are from Gabby's debut into the advertising world. She will be in her first national magazine ad this December. Pregnancy and Baby magazine will be the carrier of this ad. This will also be my first national ad that I have designed.

I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday season!
If you want to do something different than the regular Christmas pictures let me know what you are thinking about. I'm willing to try whatever you like.
You've still got time to do your family Christmas pictures and Photo Christmas cards. Big prints framed up or done on a canvas board make excellent gifts. Give us a call or drop an email to see about setting your appointment up.

God Bless,

First Assembly Live Recording

Atlanta Landmark, The Varsity

Finishing up about our weekend. I've been behind on posts so I slammed a few in here while I was working on it. I will probably put up a few more before I call it a night.
Anyway, while down in Atlanta we went to the Varsity since neither one of us had ever been. The Varsity has been there forever, I've been by it a 100 times at least but never took the time to stop in and eat.
We did. It's basically a few clogged arteries served up on a red tray!
But, it sure was good though!!

Halloween

Here are a few pics of Gabby in her Pea Pod costume.

Hali

Took some pictures of Hali a few weeks ago. Her mother was our nurse when Gabby was born and Hali babysits Gabby when we go to the Y to work out. This was her first photo shoot. She did great and we had alot of fun doing this shoot.

Weekend

Steph and I took baby Gabby to her grandparents and we took the scenic route through the Blue Ridge Mountains down to Atlanta.
We went and visited Whitewater Falls which is just across the South Carolina line. It basically postcard type imagery there, but it's still beautiful. The overlook is a 1/2 mile from the falls and you can still hear the roar of this massive waterfall. The leaves hit their peak about two weeks ago, but it's still beautiful.

Montgomery Gentry Concert

These are a few pics from the Montgomery Gentry concert in Kannapolis, NC this Saturday night. They were here to help raise money for Motor Racing Outreach which supports many charities all over the nation. Great concert.

I will also have more over on my MySpace page at some point on Monday.

New Ads for the phone book

These are the ads that are going into the phone book for 2008 ads. The colors were so cool in these ads I hated not to show them. (They'll be in black and white in the books.)
I'm not sure how that baby ended up in two separate ads, oh wait, she used persuasion. She grins at me every morning when I go into her bedroom to see her.
Got a couple handfuls of new photos to post. Just have to find the time.

I'm starting to re-do the website, so that ought to be exciting.

Also, the studio's MySpace page has already gotten close to 350 hits in 10 days. Lots of people visiting it. If you haven't seen it yet, skip on over there:
