These cute little guys....

needed a few photos for their Christmas card. They are so stinking cute!!!!

Special offer is over.

I actually went ahead and took the first two people who contacted me. I can't wait to meet their little bundles of joy! One boy and one girl! Be on the watch for them to make their blog debut! :)

Act Quick!!! Special Offer!!!!!

I am very close to ending my portfolio building. My portfolio has come together quite nicely this fall, and I am currently in the works of launching a new site and a new blog. Stay tuned for lots of new things coming from me.

However, I need one more FRESH newborn to cap off my portfolio. Most of my readers know I am a teacher, sooooooooo....Christmas Break is coming up for me :) . This is a perfect time for me to offer this special!! I would like to offer a waived session fee to the first expecting mother that contacts me at

sammyv22@yahoo.com

I have just received the sweetest, cutest, most adorable items to use for a newborn shoot, and I am dying to try them out.

Here is the not-so-fine print.

*The waived session fee will only be good for the first 7 days after the baby is born

*The photos will be used in my online portfolio.

*The session must take place sometime between Dec. 10th and Jan. 6th.

*No obligation to buy prints (but, I really doubt you'd want to do that) ;)

*Normal portfolio building prices do apply if you are interested in purchasing any prints/items. See price list under "Investment" at

*Must be within 30 miles of 46347


The first two weeks of a baby's life is the best time to take newborn photographs. I prefer to photograph them as early as possible. Newborns change so quickly, and that newborn look is something that is so very precious. I know many new parents are overwhelmed with a new baby. However, my sessions are completely catered toward making it as easy as possible for you! I come to you, I hang out through feedings, crying, diaper changes, and we just go with the flow. Little ones have their own agenda, and I work around it. If you are due soon, give me a call. I'll write in your due date, and I'll basically be on call around that time. Don't hesitate to contact me! This will go to the first person who can promise me a fresh little bundle of joy to photograph during those upcoming dates.

I hope all of you are staying safe and warm. I was on a two hour trip from Hammond to Kouts today. Not fun!!! (For all of you who are like, "Where is Kouts?? Let me assure you, it is not 2 hours from Hammond!!)

And, here are a few of my favorite newborn images from my past sessions.

Enjoy and

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!!!!! :)
