Christmas Express

September 15, 2017

I’m trying something new this year. Instead of only one or two themes, I’m preparing at least 4 set ups. The set ups are a little more basic, but the goal is to have more choices for you. Keep your eye on my Facebook page to see real people set ups and more information.

Birthday Month!

September 12, 2017

September is Thyme of Your Life Photography and my birthday. I’m one of those who thinks my birthday should be celebrated all month long. So…for the month of September all sessions booked will get two 5×7 prints (for Express and Special Events)  and two 8x10s (for Milestone and Newborn Sessions) included. Also, with any referrals, both you and your friend will get 5% off your sessions. This will be compounded for you. If you refer two friends you can save 10%, they’ll each save 5%. Sessions don’t have to take place IN the month of September, just booked. A session is considered booked when it’s been paid for. You may self refer.

Please contact me with questions and to schedule your appointment.

Looking Ahead to 2016

January 11, 2016

Happy 2016!

This will be my third year in business. According to my accountant, I really have to make this year count to be recognized as a business next year. This is hard for me…I thoroughly enjoy the creative side of what I do, but struggle with being a business person. After prayer and processing, the following are some of the things that will change and the things that will stay the same.

My pricing structure will not change this year; I will also have some generous specials to offer. As mentioned back in the summer, Digital Images are included with the session fee. A complete list of session fees and descriptions available on my pricing page.

My Referral Program is now in effect. You will get a $25 credit for those who book full or newborn sessions at your recommendation. Details are posted here.

Model Calls will be different this year. I’m looking for one newborn, one 6-12 month old and one 2-4 year old per quarter. Models will get the full Milestone or Newborn session at half price. Please contact me to put in your model request. Details are here.

And lastly Themed Special Event Sessions will be offered quarterly. I would really like to encourage you to sign up early, so am offering a $25 savings for those that book their session at least a month in advance. (Yes you can plan your Christmas Card session in February :) ) The schedule is posted in this blog post.

I am hoping to do more personalized sessions. I’d love to work with you to plan your child’s session that reflects your family through color, props and themes.

Thank you for your support, encouragement and memories.

Looking Back

January 10, 2016

Looking back, 2015 was a great year to celebrate creativity and learning here at Thyme of Your Life Photography.

Looking back at Some of the Sessions from 2015

Learning: I took a couple of intense classes. One in newborn safety and posing and one on marketing. (For me the newborn one was much more fun :) ) I’m also constantly researching and trying new things for photography, editing, posing and set ups.

Creating: I offered 11 different Special Event Themed Sessions including-

  • Valentines (with candy hearts)
  • Fairies and Fishin’ (twice)
  • Spring/Easter
  • Mama and Me
  • Teddy Bear Picnic
  • Red, White and Denim
  • Back to School
  • Autumn
  • Halloween drop in
  • Night before Christmas
  • Glitzy Holiday

Looking back at themes from 2015.

Customization: I was able to include several new themes into my full sessions including-

  • 50’s Kitchen
  • Super Heroes
  • Dragon Slayer
  • Doodle Play Room
  • Little Red Wagon
  • Lil’ Monkey
  • Snow Day
  • Hot Air Balloon
  • Star Wars
  • How to grow a Baby
  • Tea Party
  • Bear Bums
  • What’s in Santa’s Bag?

Looking back at set ups in 2015

I have so many more theme ideas swirling around in my head, just waiting to be unleashed :) I also know the value of a good classic backdrop. I have invested in a some new backdrops for the new year, as well as my trusty seamless paper. Please contact me so that we can schedule your child’s very own session!

Christmas Card Sessions x2

November 3, 2015

From now until November 21, 2015, Thyme of Your Life Photography is offering Night Before Christmas themed special event sessions.

Night Before Christmas sessions have a “bed” backdrop and are great for cozy pajamas and bare feet. I have “cookies” and “milk” props  for older children. Children are welcome to bring a favorite stuffed animal or blanket. Check my Facebook page to see additional images using this backdrop.

Beginning November 22, 2015 through December 12, 2015, ToYLP will be offering a Glitzy Holiday themed special event.

Glitzy Holiday sessions have a clean white backdrop and sparkly trees. Glittery effects are added in during the hand processing after your session. This is great for little ladies in fancy holiday dresses and dapper little dudes in their snazzy duds.

Props to this Sweet Newborn

October 19, 2015

A friend of mine, gifted a Newborn Session to her son and daughter-in-law for their first little girl. Mama and Dad were big Star Wars fans as well as Disney. I didn’t get a chance to discuss plans with Mama ahead of time, but knew about their interests. I had quite a few ideas and props ready to go.

I love catching closeups of little lips, eyelashes, nose and milk bumps on the skin.

When the family showed up, Mama had a zillion great ideas and props of her own. She had even brought her wedding dress.

We immediately got to work, with eight day old, baby M wide awake and ready to check everything out, we started with the Princess Leia set up. My daughter made me the bun hat and I got a part of my birthday gift early with the Chewbacca Itty Bitty doll (from Hallmark.)

After that set up, little M ate some more, changed into her next outfit and passed out.

With all the props Mama brought to the session, we ended up skipping the Disney side of things. Maybe we’ll plant that in for the six month session :)

If you are  hoping for Newborn portraits, please contact me to make an appointment. I really like to start planning months in advance. Also, I only take on a limited number of Newborn sessions, so when you get to your second trimester, it would be a great time to reserve your spot!
