merry, merry | granger famly photographer

I am just going to make a list for you today.

Things I love:
I love front porch sessions.
I love my Baby Step Alumni.
I love working with great families like this one each year.
I love watching your kids grow from behind my lens.
I loved Christmasy photo sessions with red and plaid and blankets. And evergreens.
I love mild December weather when trying to find a reschedule date for just one more session.
I love good backyard neighbors. ;)

Friday is the last day to purchase your 2016 photo sessions at 2015 prices.  You will save $50 by scheduling your January through April sessions, or by purchasing a gift card to be used in 2016.  Click HERE for the details.  As always, email me with any questions.

These girls have my heart.  They are over the top adorable, and over the top sweet.  It's no secret where they get it from.  I just love this family and look forward to their session each year.  I get all the updates on life, some Scentsy (Need wax? Call Erin.), some hugs and even a "Love you" as I'm walking out the door.  I mean.  Seriously.  They are the best.

It was such a treat to work with this beautiful family!  I'm trying to be careful with sneak peeks this time of year because I know some of you are thinking Christmas cards.

My fall sessions are winding down and it's such a great feeling to look back on this wonderful year of smiles. Some new faces and a lot of familiar faces.  In this season of thanksgiving and gratitude, I'm feeling especially grateful for my JHP family.  You are such a joy and a blessing to my family and me.

SCHEDULING UPDATE:  We are now scheduling January through April 2016 sessions.  More details HERE.

It's been another amazing year here at JHP.  Lots beautiful smiles captured.  Lots of beautiful loving families captured.  Memories preserved.  Thanks for giving me the privilege of working with you.

A few changes are coming to the pricing menu.  After six years, it's time for a price increase.  With the increased cost of doing business, and big camera and equipment upgrades.  I hope you'll continue to find it worth the investment.

Baby Steps package includes three sessions $425.  $50 deposit and $125 due each time we meet.

This was such a fun session for me!  The setting was incredible and fall was at it's peak.  The sunlight was perfection.  And this gorgeous family was looking picture perfect.  It doesn't get much better than that!
