white gloves

I promised many of you that I would create and thereafter offer a coffee table book featuring your kids, family or occasion. I've saved 10 to 12 years of some of your photographs just waiting for such a compilation of love. For my beloved new customers, you can certainly order one of these with just one shoot as you know how many of those pictures you have in the portal you love. (Example book number two of Baby S. is one shoot).

However, choosing the right manufactures with the quality that I demand for my customers with a price point that would not break the bank proved to be more than a notion. I searched to find the right product, found the time to design the sample then saved money to buy the sample and then..... WELL now, the wait is over and I am so beside-myself thrilled.. "It"... the book I have been raving about to many of you finally arrived.. complete with white gloves so that my fingerprints would not mar. White gloves guys..


Look at that!!!!




Red case complete with foil engraving (you chose the title)..



Complete with designed, wrap-around dust cover.. High quality art book quality pages.




This book is a bit different than the first with thicker pages! Same great quality.






This one comes with a designed dust cover too!



Bound, beautiful, hinged pages.




Who designs the book?
Every book is personally designed by me.

How long does it take to design?
About 2 to 3 weeks start to finish.. either with your input or without. Another 3 weeks for production and shipping.

How many pages?
As many as you want up to 100 pages or 50 spreads (a left and a right).

What sizes do they come in?
From 5x5 all the way up to 8x11.. second book comes in an 11x14 size.

How much does it cost?
Hurry these rock bottom prices won't last long, you have to trust me on this one. My customers whom I've been photographing for almost a decade now know that I am always a bit on the conservative side of the pricing until I am forced to raise prices! Do not delay on this one. I'm just saying!! This is not your put it together and watch it fall apart CVS Photo-book (I'm just saying). I guarantee it. View pricing.

Are these the prices that are in the Client order portal now?
No.. not the same quality and those will no longer be offered.. These books will replace those.

What do the pages look like and how many photographs per page?
The design is between you and me. You give me your ideas.. less designed, less populated pages, one photograph per page etc.. I go from there.

Will my book be ready for Christmas 2009?
No, but many of you have expressed wanting this book for yourselves not necessarily for a gift. To make it up to you, as I know you are disappointed, come back to this blog on Monday November 2nd for a monumental announcement concerning 2009 Christmas Card orders and a first ever whimsy "special offer". Good only for 20 days.. no revisions, no do-overs, no extensions, no excuses.. Be here or just miss out!! I'm just saying!!!
Smile my friends, it's not that serious but I'm not playing.. You have to love me!!

michael + margo + little m

Such a pleasure to be a part of this family's life for just a moment while we created these awesome portraits.. Michael, Margo and little m. came to me by way of Candace and Alex's baby S's baby shoot.

Having never met them before, it was refreshing walking into their home and feeling at ease right from the start. Little m. came right up to me and let me know that this session was going to be just fine. I was there to photograph primarily the baby or at least the family, but the electricity that flowed between Michael and Margo struck me as something notable, and worthy of a bit more attention, so while I certainly got plenty of pictures of little m., it was Michael and Margo's love (when little m. was off playing with my trusted assistant "Nash") that were incredible to capture. It must be the wedding photographer in me. I'm always looking for the LOVE.. They are a such beautiful couple and were game for anything I asked (with the exception of running on the golf course and stealing a few shots before we were captured and banned for life).. Michael was not having any part of that. "There is golf course edict to consider", he noted.(smile).

Michael and Margo, it was more than a pleasure to meet the two of you and your little princess little m.. The two of you are fierce in front of the camera and your love for one another is more than noteworthy, it's striking and real. Thanks for allowing me the opprutunity to capture these memories for you.. I look forward to doing it again and again as time goes by.

the eatmon family- Maryland photographer

I have had the pleasure of capturing this family for many years now.. from the wedding, the maternity, the first born's baby pictures and now with Baby B (baby #2) almost a year old, we captured yet another session with portraits that are just spectacular.

Little S and Tiny B are just adorable. Mom and dad are quite the lookers as well. We had a little bribe session going on to get smiles out of Little S... "cupcakes for grandma"! Her face just lit up.. Do you remember what made you smile as a kid. Just the mere mention of the word caused your eyes to sparkle and a smile to emerge.. for me it was mashed potatoes with gravy... go figure... food... right?
