{ Fabulous Fun Tip Friday }

  Today's tip is included in my newsletter!

{ The Pruett Family and Their Smiles }

Melanie Pruett and I met when she was Brenna’s teacher at First Baptist Preschool! What a beautiful family and so full of energy!!  Melanie, her husband Sam and their daughters Olivia and Mia joined me at Hammond’s Ferry for a fun portrait session.

  

Olivia and Mia were just so very silly and would just giggle, giggle, giggle.  I had to enlist the help of an old trusted friend… the whoopee cushion… to get collective smiles on command and my good buddy didn’t let me down!  I just loved watching the girls read their books – I can’t help it – this just warmed the former teacher in me!  www.MaryBethsPhotography.info

{ A Well-Prepared Seider Family }

I cannot believe that it has been so long since this FABULOUS portrait session.  Back in May, the Seider Family, Keely, Charles, Kailyn and Cooper joined me in Hammond’s Ferry on a beautiful evening.  We used the burgundy couch as part of the session and… if I do say… didn’t it look fabulous??!!??  Keely and her family are repeat clients and Kailyn and my little “mini-me” Brenna are good buddies, so this was such a fun session for me.  

Keely came prepared with coordinated outfits AND a vision for what she wanted in her home.  She purchased nine 8x10 portraits to frame in her hallway.  I just LOVE IT when my customers come with a plan on where they are going to put portraits in their home.  And if you need some assistance, I will come to your home (with a special little treat) for a custom home viewing session.  We can work together to figure out where is best to place your new, beautiful portraits.  www.MaryBethsPhotography.info

{ Giddy for Gold - Your Chance to Win Big }

We are GIDDY FOR GOLD at the Cooper house.  As you followed us along our cup stacking Jr. Olympic journey and variety of medals won by our children and as we all have been watching the Olympics in London, I just couldn't help myself but become overwhelmed with all those medals.  I knew the only way to pass along all this Olympic and USA pride was to offer a special promotion to my FABULOUS clients. 

So, how about this one to hang around your neck??  Book a Fall session by August 12 (not-so-ironically the end of the Olympics in London) and you will be entered into a drawing to win a Mary Beth's Photography Gold, Bronze or Silver Medal!  Our Bronze Medalist wins a custom-created 2013 Calendar with the photo of  your choice from your session.  

Our Silver Medalist receives 25 custom-designed Christmas Cards and our Gold Medalist goes home with 50 custom-designed Christmas Cards.  You know you need Christmas Cards this year and why not book now to have a chance to win big at the Mary Beth's Photography Summer Olympic Giveaway!  Contact me today at MaryBeth@MaryBethsPhotography.info or call me (803) 634-0596.  Send this along to your friends and family, too!  Go Team USA!!

{ Silly Fun for Everyone }

Millie Robinson and I have been in the same Mother’s Club for years.  I had so much fun taking her family’s portraits last year and was so looking forward to capturing her family again.  

We headed to Hammond’s Ferry and I brought one of my couches.  The Robinson boys are so silly and so cute and didn’t disappoint on this session.  

What a compliment they gave me by putting their favorite portrait on a Christmas Card... and even better... they ordered Christmas Cards from me, along with a variety of individual portraits, as well.  

It is never too early to get ready prepared for Christmas portraits, so make sure to book your appointments early!!  www.MaryBethsPhotography.info

{ Watching the Toney Boys Grow }

I have been taking portraits of the Toney family since Nolan was 6 months old.  Look at him now... 4 years old!!  

I have loved watching the boys grow up since meeting Amy in Mother’s Club so many years ago.  Life has changed for us... as it always does.  

Amy and her family have moved out near Greenbrier and I had a fabulous time taking the portraits at a pond area near Greenbrier Elementary School, right near their subdivision and their new home.  

Over Christmas break, they moved into their new home and it is just precious.  Thanks Toney Family- You are always such a fabulous family to photograph!!  www.MaryBethsPhotography.info

{ A Special Portrait Session for A Special Family}

The Nichols Family are very special to my family, as Melanie and Ralph are dear friends and our daughter’s Godparents.  

 

It was so much fun taking portraits of Melanie, Ralph and their daughter Gini Blake!  

Despite it being a very cold day at Hammond’s Ferry (everyone had gloves on and we were all still freezing), we had a wonderful time taking family and individual portraits as well as Christmas portraits.  

I even had the pleasure of seeing them again to take portraits of Gini Blake in her toe shoes and ballet outfit, along with her cheerleader uniform.   www.MaryBethsPhotography.info
