Time for another New Product update, this time, for accordion wallets. These are 3×3″ books, that instead of being bound at the spine, accordion out to show 6 images on one side and 4 images on the other. Finishing them off are hard covers on each end to protect the images when they are folded closed. There are about 20 different cover options available in different colors of Eurohyde (imitation leather) and Art Cloth (a bit like tweed).  These come in a set of 3 for $45, with additional units being $12 each. The wallets are held closed via an elastic metallic silver bow that wraps around two corners… Actual product shots coming soon.

A couple examples…

I know we said it recently (like as in the last post), but if you’re wanting Christmas Cards, we need your order (and payment) by next Saturday, Dec 5th. Now on to the pics…

While Dad was out hunting, mom decided to gets some fall pics of the kids.

OK, so just added it up and since the beginning of October, we’ve had 28 sessions (and 3 more in the next 4 days). So if it’s taking a while to get your gallery up, well, we’re almost caught up.

***Christmas Orders***

If you’ve already had your access to your gallery for a week or more, and you’re wanting your pictures/cards back in time for Christmas without having to pay extra for a rush shipment, we need your orders (and payments) by Saturday, December 5th.

Happy Thanksgiving and be careful out there on Black Friday. Try not to get trampled scrambling for that 75″ Flat Panel TV for $20!!

And since we like to have at least one picture per post (being a photography blog and all…), here are a few previews of our most recent sessions.

We’re still going strong with sessions lined up to the end of November. If anyone is still wanting to get some pics in time for Christmas, you better hurry up and give us a call!! And for those of you still waiting on your galleries, thank you for your patience. We’re getting caught up…slowly. Now, back to bizness.
This family has been trying to book a session with us for a while now. When they were finally free of their crazy busy schedules for day, we met up to get some great fall pics. Aren’t these two kids just so adorable? It was quite a fun shoot… And you gotta love that great golden fall evening light!!

photo geek-out warning:
The Canon 5D Mk II is an awesome camera, and though we’ll miss it dearly while it’s getting fixed (stupid shutter, *error 30*), the original 5D is still capable of capturing great images. It’s no wonder the 5D Mk II took so long to come out, it’s hard to top such a great camera. If it weren’t for the slower processor, smaller resolution and screen, we *might* not have upgraded. Nah, 21.1 megapixels and 1080p video from an SLR is friggin’ awesome!!
(the 5D Mk II crapped out on me, luckily, right at the end of this shoot. And of course I had just taken 5D out of the bag the day before, thinking there was no reason to keep lugging it around…)

Much like the cobbler’s kids having no shoes, we’ve been so busy lately that we’ve hardly had time to train our camera on our own kids. So we did a session with our little two… then of course it was back to work on someone else’s  kids…

First things first… If you know these people, you never saw these photos, okay? Okay!
In case you were wondering what on earth that was about… I met up with this awesome family in secret. Real hush-hush. These pictures are for their parents on Christmas and they want it to be a surprise. Pretty cool gift, IMO.
So if you know their parents, you never saw these pictures. Got it?

Seriously, these guys were awesome. Funny. Stylish. Easy to photograph. You know, all the good stuff. It was great meeting you all, hope your ‘rents like them!!

And remember, you never saw this…
