Merry Christmas!

Quick share of my own family Christmas card! Hope everyone has a great holiday! I promise to start updating my blog again next week.

The card is a five panel accordion fold. I've always wanted to do a design for this size card. So fun!

One more calendar share

Hoping my sister stays away from my blog this week... just had to share the calendar I created for my brother-in-law as a holiday gift. Too cute, right?



Love this picture of my little nephew talking to his monkeys at just over a month old. ;-)

2010 Calendars HOT off the presses

Brand new product for those last minute holiday requests. These 11x14 or larger wall calendars are board mounted and ready to frame for a quick gift, or tie ribbon is optional for hanging.

All 2009 sessions are eligible for a wall calendar, and orders must be placed by Wednesday 12/15 for holiday orders. I will accept orders after 12/15 for delivery the first week of the year.

Sweet, sweet E...

I've known E since she was a wee-little baby... and she keeps getting sweeter. Met up with family G for a short and sweet outdoor session last weekend in Dublin.... it was sooo cold, but they were such sports. Plus her little coat was too cute! Adorable little girly coats are one of my favorite things about winter sessions, makes up for my numb fingers entirely.





E's momma lost her purse on our session. I feel horrible. I just designed these sweet little album pages for a complimentary session album. The holiday borders are so festive, I think. It is the least I can do. And whoever took her purse and didn't turn it in, shame on you! You took holiday money from this sweet little girl.

And yes, I know my blog is sadly neglected these days. I'm planning a blog makeover in early 2010.. but for now I've been too busy to think finishing up the holiday session, getting orders ready to out and finding just enough time to do some online shopping for my own family. I've yet to step foot into a store this year for a single gift. So, I've missed sharing many family sessions that I'll go back and share in coming weeks once things slow.

Giving is AWESOME!

You know someone. You know someone who has experienced a tragedy, is struggling to stay afloat, is raising kids while holding down more than one job, or is volunteering selflessly despite personal circumstances. You know someone that cannot afford custom photography, but who would cherish it this holiday season. You know someone who deserves a year-round reminder of their family's spirit, love and beauty.

You know someone. I guarantee it.

I want to know who they are, and I want to give them the chance to experience complimentary custom photography - $750 worth, to be exact. Possibilities are endless ... canvas or albums, prints for Grandma or a slide show to watch over and over of cherished memories.

Oh, and the person who nominates the winner receives a $150 print credit towards a 2010 session.

The rules are simple:

1. You cannot nominate yourself, and the person nominated must sincerely be incapable of purchasing my services.
2. The nominee must reside in the Central Ohio area. Tell me who you know, what they are experiencing and why they deserve a custom portrait session. Please include a way to contact both your nominee and yourself as well.
3. You must email me the full story to everydaystudiosgive@gmail.com
4. Not redeemable for cash, and is non-transferable.
5. Session must be booked by June 2010.
6. The contest opens on December 3 and closes on December 31. The winner will be announced on January 9.

Open your heart to someone this holiday season - and get nominating! I cannot wait to select a winner! Oh, and did I mention wardrobe will be included for the children of the winning family!

With love,
Jessi
