Who all out there is a Black Friday shopper? Who lives to wake up before the crack of dawn, or maybe never even go to sleep on Thanksgiving night, and fight hoards of people in the hopes of snagging that perfect deal? Truthfully? I want to be that person. The idea of it sounds super fun and I think if I gave it a chance I would absolutely love it. But the reality is that my bed is way too comfy and my eyelids are way too heavy after all of that turkey, so my bed is the only place you’ll find me in the wee hours of the morning on Black Friday!
BUT…we most definitely always get into the spirit of savings at this time of year in the studio, and I’m SO Excited to pass along this year’s deals! We think they’re pretty great, and I can promise you there are several people on my list who will be receiving some of these items!
The First Year Baby Plan
Are you expecting a little one in the new year? Or do you know of someone who is? Well then we have the PERFECT gift for you! Our First Year Baby Plan is hands down the best way to hang on to that baby’s first year of life forever. Obviously, an insane amount of change and growth happens throughout that first year, and try as you might to slow it down, it seems to move at lightning speed. The First Year Baby Plan helps you keep up with all of those changes through portrait sessions that occur at the various stages in that first year of life. Starting with a newborn session and ending with First Birthday with a few more sessions thrown in the middle, The Baby Plan gives you the opportunity to have a beautiful display of your child’s first year of life through portraits. Typically this portrait plan is $395, but for the remainder of the year we are offering is at only $295!!! Be sure to share this with anyone you know who may be expecting a little one soon!

Portrait Boxes
This is a new one! And maybe my favorite one! If you’re anything like me, you’ve run out of tabletop and shelf space to display those 5x7s and 8x10s. And you have new photos that you REALLY REALLY want to display, but there’s no more room and you can’t just throw the older portraits in a drawer because Those are my BAAAAABIEESSSSS!!!! They can’t be too far away! Collin got tired of hearing me gripe and complain about not having enough table space and threatening to buy more furniture to display everything, so he found this. And I LOVE it. I literally squealed when he gave it to me, and had the best time going around the house swapping portraits out of frames and putting them in my new display box. Basically, this is a place to hold all of those portraits that you may not have a spot for any longer, but the thought of actually packing them away makes you cry. Think of it as an album, but with so much more flexibility! Anytime you want to swap an image out, you can! Feeling a little sentimental and needing to see those sweet baby faces? Take an old portrait from the box and pop it back into a frame. It’s so easy! And the box itself is just beautiful. I’m loving having all of my older portraits at my fingertips. Seriously, I can’t say enough about this one!
5×7 Box $70.00
8×12 Box $100.00
Ornaments $30.00
Portrait ornaments are always a huge hit, whether for gifts or just as a keepsake to hang onto for yourself. These can be created from any session that you’ve had this year and ordered from, and the date will be displayed on the back. We love pulling these out to put on the tree each year and seeing how everyone has changed. And just a hint, grandparents LOVE this one!
Proof Books
Proof books are the best way to hang on to an entire session! These tiny little books are just perfect. Every image from your session will fit into them, and they are small enough to carry around with you or pretty enough to display on a shelf. Proof Books are available at the reduced price of $75. As always, proof books are only available with an additional order from the session, but if you have already made the order previously and wish to add only a proof book now you may do so (these make great gifts!)!
Bag Tags $15
These are so fun! Bag Tags are a perfect way to personalize any bag…diaper bag, book bag, anything! Perfect stocking stuffer! As with the proof books, these can be ordered from any session you have ordered from.
And here’s the big one…Portrait Savings!!
