Just arrived.

I love these little newborns...keep'em coming! Babies are just the sweetest things, and this one is no exception!

Christmas in July???

Yep...I am already getting calls for it, so I am going to put them out there. The 2007 Christmas card designs are here. To view the designs, just go to http://www.fancypantsphotography.com and click on the proofing tab at the top. The login to view the cards is: Christmas (it is case sensitive, so type carefully). To reserve your card design (and pull it off the website) just call me and reserve your card with a $50 deposit towards your card purchase. I can change wording on the designs if space permits. Some designs don't have any wording yet, so it is totally up to you! This year I am offering several styles and paper choices. The designs are 5X7 or 5X5 and can be flat, folded, or 5x5 tri-fold design. The paper choices are...photopaper (for flat cards), or cardstock. The specialty papers are: metallic paper (flat cards), watercolor, or pearl paper. I have samples of all of these if you can't quite picture it.
The costs are as follows:
5X5 or 5X7 flat: $2.50/each
5X5 or 5X7 folded: $2.75/each
5X5 tri-fold: $3.50/each
There is a $.25/each charge for specialty papers, and a $.25/each discount for orders of 150 or more. All cards are ordered in denominations of 25 and come with white or parchment envelopes. Additional 5X5 trifold designs can be created for clients as well.

The last Christmas card orders must be placed by November 16th, so Christmas sessions will end in the first few weeks of November. Last year we were booked through Christmas around October 1st...so call early! Hope you like the designs!

Tiny twosome

I have had not one, but two sets of twins in the past few weeks. Love it! These guys were so good. I couldn't wait to take a peek. Is this not the cutest thing you have ever seen???

Baby on Board...

Could she be any cuter? It is soooo not fair:) I KNOW that I didn't look this cute pregnant! I have had so many darling women come in lately! This is one of the most recent. Hope you are hanging in there :)

*****************
On another note, I am starting to do some commercial photography. I will be shooting an edgy maternity line, as well as a really cute girls line within the next few months. Please let me know if you want to be considered as one of the models. I will submit one of my favorite shots from the session to the designers for decisions. It is going to be FUN!

Back to work:)

This week has been crazy, but it is fun to be back to work. Here are a couple from the last two days. More updates soon!

Oh, Man!

The life of a photographer's child can be a hard one....never a break. Actually, they really are having fun. We have been on the beach every day, and it has been wonderful. They agreed to the photo shoot, only if they were paid:( I am really not that bad, I promise! Anyway, we will be back to work next week. Summer sessions are filling up, so if you would like to have a session before school starts call soon!

Ok, ok, one more

I said I was done, but I had to post one more. I love this age! Six to eight months is sooo fun. Obviously, this little one is all sugar, no spice:)

Getting a few more in before vacation...

Brother and sister...both super easy:) I love the little stuffed animal...reminds me how quick they grow up.

If I haven't already mentioned it, I am partnering with a company to offer a product that I love! Check out:

They are great to work with and their stuff is so cute!

Fun family

This family was wonderful and up for anything. The little guy is sooo cute too! I also want to remind everyone of my vacation schedule.
I will be gone from June 2-June 17...and then again from July 3-9.
I will however, check email while I am away. If you are waiting on an order that does not arrive by Friday, it will be the week of June 18th. I will be having a wonderful time laying on the beach and hopefully getting a tan and making some memories with my family:) I have some limited availablity the last week of June if you are hoping for a session that month.

Remember my prediction?

I had a maternity session not so long ago that I posted about here. I predicted that there might be a beautiful baby coming along in the near future...
Don't call me about horse races, the lottery, etc. (I'l still to baby predictions)...but I think I am one for one:)

Last One...

I am playing some major catch up today. I have had quite a few DARLING babies lately. If I haven't told you...I love babies, but especially the ones that are 6-12 months. SO CUTE. This one of course is no exception. He is another little guy that I got to photograph as a newborn and now look at him...growing up already:)

Hi, Mom...

I hope you aren't worrying toooo much...but in case you are, I wanted to give you a little sneak peek...relax:) I'll see you next week!

Cutie Patootie

I got to photograph this little guy for the first time when he was 5 days old. If you have been to my office...he is the one wrapped in cheese cloth hanging on the wall:) He was super cute then and he still is. What a cutie patootie!

My Mother's Day

Ya know what it feels like to actually get an image you love of your OWN child. It is the best. My little girl (who is suddenly not that little anymore), let me take her out for a session...with no complaining...since it was Mother's Day week:) I try to milk it for the whole week...I think that is fair. So anyway...it is one of those moments where you look at your child and you realize how amazing they are, how blessed I am, and how I could never deserve to be given these beautiful kiddos. Anyway, I am so grateful to have them. Happy late Mother's day to all of you...truly amazing mothers.

Brothers...

I see it all the time...siblings that have such different personalities...it is hard to get them in the same frame. They always slow down for at least a second or two:)

Too Cute

I have had a couple of sessions with her brother and sister, but I got her all to myself this time. Such a doll!!!

2 Things

1. Look at that face. Are you kidding me???
2. My new site is up and I am recruiting some senior reps. Go to http://www.kellihierholzer.com contact page and tell me why you should be my 2008 rep and get your senior pictures FREE:)

Catch up...

I know I am kind of hit or miss here. I am sorry!!! There is a show this Saturday at the Lake Pointe community center. The Lake Pointe Spring Fling (doors open at 10)...there are lots of vendors and great things to see. Plum Liddie will be there and we are partnering for some cool photo jewelry ideas. I will be selling double your money gift certificates (up to $50 purchase) and offering a free 8X10 to anyone who books a session while at the show. I will also be showing some of my new senior images and looking for two 2008 senior reps. If you know of anyone, send them my way.


I love doing this as you all know, but I also love to follow my own vision too. These are the types of images that I adore taking, but aren't as traditional as my typical style. These were just some snapshots after lunch the other day...I can only con my own kids into doing this occasionally, so I also grabbed a friend:) If you are ever in the mood for some trendy, unconventional shots...PLEASE let me know!
Hope to see you all Saturday between 10 and 4!

Look at that stare:)

I wouldn't want to get in a staring contest with her, but I love getting this kind of eye contact. Total doll, totally sure of herself, we got along just fine:)

Ok, I am on a mission

In the zone....I guess:) Anyway, I have another sneak peek for a lucky mom. This just speaks for itself...which is good, because I can't step away from editing for too long or I might fall right out of the zone and over to the fridge for some ice cream:)
