My Sister

My sister has been visiting me this week. We took advantage of the cooler temps and went downtown to take these. :) Thanks for being such a good friend, Jenny!!

Little Lake Boy

This little boy was so sweet. He just sat there and played while I ran all around getting different angles and trying different settings on the camera. Such a beutiful spot!! Thanks {T} for having me out!!

Newborn baby {G}

I recently met baby {G's} mom and was so happy that she wanted me to take pictures of her precious newborn baby! She was so cooperative and slept for me the entire time. :) So Sweet!!

Congratulations Angela and Zach!!!

This Saturday Wedding bells rang for this beautiful couple!! Congratulations!!! Thank you for being so great to me! I really enjoyed capturing your special day for you. Blessings to you in the years to come. :)

One Year Old {H}

This little girl was so fun to watch toddling around in the tall grass. :) She didn't even fall on the mud, though I thought sure she would at least once! I was impressed! I hope her mommy enjoys this little tease. :)

Announcing a new look/logo!!

I've been trying for some time to come up with clear branding for Always Portraits. My style has and is continuing to redefine and improve, and with that change I wanted to present a modern, clean, professional look to my new marketing materials! I finally discovered that , like taking portraits of yourself, it's harder to design for your own business, so I hired Tracy Stone from http://www.sugarlimedesigns.com/. She worked really hard and came up with this design, and I LOVE it!! I needed something that attracted people with the colors, but didn't drive guys off with flowers. :D

In a few days I will be launching a new look for my blog too. She knows WAY more about blogs than I do and will be designing the whole 9 yards. I can't wait!! :) In the meantime you'll be noticing changes to the colors on the website and new pictures going up. :D Of course, all of this will have to take place between working on my wonderful clients' portraits!!

Logo Design

So, I know I just changed my logo, but I'm still not happy with it! It needs some color and needs to make a person smile, so... I've called in the expert! In a few weeks I should have the result of her handiwork. Check out her handiwork! :) www.sugarlimedesigns.com

No Internet

Hi! Just a quick note to let you know that if you're trying to reach me today via email, I may not get them. We've displaced all of our furniture and office stuff in order to lay new floors tomorrow. My Internet connection is in the room getting redone, so I will not be able to log on. I will, however, be available by phone. Please feel free to call 270-498-8255. Thank you!

Fairytales do come true....

This couple was SO fun!! I was stressing because it was cloudy and we'd chosen to do these pictures in the evening, but all went well. These are just a few of the unique things we got during this session! If only it were always this natural!

New Logo

Hi there! Spring is busy! Yay! I know it is for most of you. The rain has slowed the calls down a bit and given me a chance to do some things that need to be done around here. I've been working on a knitting project and making some things to pose newborns in, shopping for a few cool props and designing a new logo! My husband and I are getting new flooring put down this month and then I can't WAIT to take pictures on it with Natural light! Those of you who've had sessions here know that my space is small, but without bulky lights, I have lots of ideas.... :)

Also, I've got help! Amy will be coming in on Tuesdays and helping me keep my ducks in a row. I'm not a naturally organized person and the busier I get, the less organized I am! I'm SO glad she's agreed to help me! She will be making calls, helping with orders and just being a friendly face when you pick your orders up and I'm not here. You can already email her amy@alwaysportraitsbysally.com.

Soon you will see new info on my website. I'm redoing my pricing slightly, updating my operating hours and generally updating the pictures. You'll notice I've already designed a new logo! My little sister was gracious and drew the other one for me, but I haven't felt like it quite fit my style or my site, so TaDa! We have a new one!

One last thing, Wednesday and Thursday, May 20 and 21st Amy and I will be hosting an open house aimed at High School Seniors who will be needing portraits this summer. There will be door prizes, a drawing and snacks. Anyone is welcome, but the goal is to let the teens know I'm here and I'm available to go to the location of their choice.

Yours,
Sally

Spring is here!

So, I can't believe it's been so long since I last posted! I have had lots of sessions since the grass has turned green. My goal is to post a few of them each weeknight...we'll see how I do. :)

This little doll is actually the daughter of a dear high-school friend from MO. She was so happy and content and SO cute!

Spring Special

Hi! I just have a few minutes between sessions today to announce that I'm having a spring special March 27-29th. These mini-sessions are for children and will be taken indoors here at my home. Booking fee is 10.00, then 20% off standard reprints until Easter! These pictures will have time to make it back before Easter if we get your order done the same week.

Call 270-498-8255 to reserve your time slot!

Thanks in advance!!

Wedding Album

I'm pleased to announce that I have the album sample that I promised at the Bridal Expo...finally!!! You wouldn't believe the hoops that FedEx put me through, but I finally was able to meet one of their freight drivers at the Wal-Mart Distribution center and take home my new album. It's beautiful!!!

If you are planning a wedding and are looking for a photographer, please call and book your complimentary consultation. I'm available nights and weekends if need be.

Thank you!

Bridal Expo

Hi, and a big thank you to everyone who visited my booth during the Bridal Expo. It was a great turnout and I'm thrilled that so many of you booked your consultations and filled out contact info for the drawing. I hope you were all able to find the info you needed to make your wedding a dream come true. Thanks again!

New Magazine Templates

As I gear up for a busy spring, I'm spending time familiarizing myself with my new graphics software and all it has to offer. I actually have over 20 different magazine covers like these, plus tons of other sports themes! Can't wait to try out some more!

Baby Parts

Baby Parts sessions are still one of my favorite, and most popular sessions. This little girl was in such a good mood, and Oh so cute!
