Saturdays are GONE!

Heeeeeeey. :)

Just wanted to tell you guys a few things without overloading your fb feeds.

Saturdays are BOOKED through mid July. Eeek! So, if you're needing/wanting a Saturday shoot this year, looks like the end of July or August is your time! I know...perfect. The most humid sweat-dripping-between-your-boobs time. Buuuut, I had a ton of great shoots last July and August, the secret is booking a morning or late afternoon. It usually works out just fine. :) I'll take care of you, I promise.

Also, I've booked with Indy Studio Share for indoor shoots for November and December 2011 and January and February 2012. If you're wanting to schedule indoor shoots for the cold winter months (I know it's hard to image Christmas time again...but hey, a little planning ahead never hurt anyone!), I only have about 4 dates each month. If you're interested, just shoot me an email (sarah-bethphotography@live.com), and we can try to get something tenatively on the schedule.

So, wanna know what I've been up to lately???

catching up with some of my favorite clients! Mr. Gage here is turning four!

I love this picture. :)

I've also been cuddling my sweet chubby perfect little nephew! Asher Jude Heath Whitt was born January 6th (Maddox's half birthday!), weighing in at a rockin 9 lb 2 oz. He is, by far, the cuuuutest baby everrrrr. I mean, seriously??? The cheeks? Nibble-able.

I've also been spending as much time as possible oohing and ahhing over this little miracle. My best friend's daughter, Delaney Marie, graced us with her presence eight weeks early! She's doing absolutely AMAZING. She'll be one week old tomorrow, has surpassed her birth weight, the IVs have been pulled, she's breathing on her own, and taking nearly an ounce of mommy's milk at every feeding (thru her NG tube). She's the feistiest little fighter I ever have met, she's absolutely *stunning* with a full head of black hair, and one of the most miraculous things I've witnessed so far this lifetime. I can't wait for her to chunk up and go home so we can get some real newborn pictures done! :)

Stay tuned for those sometime in April.

ohhh. I lurve little Mason. His momma and I used to work together, and I was so thrilled Jodi asked me to do his two year pictures. How sweet is that little face???

babiesbabiesbabies! I've had a lot of newborn littles to cuddle lately, I've been so lucky!

Little Reese.is.gorgeous!

just chillaxin on mom and dad's bed.

freakin.yum. And I'm not talking about the cake. This hot stuff is also one of my first clients, little Lilyanna has turned one! Love her, love her mom and dad, and I hope I have the honor of photographing her forever! SUCH a fun family.

I've also been playing with my new logo, courtesy of mollysue logos. Love it! And I've been obsessing over not just cute Daphne, my friend's daughter...but also the amazing headwrap she's wearing. I'm a huge fan of Vintage Rose Wraps (pretty obsessed with them, actually!). Check them out! Like, now. Do it! I wear them, my daugher wears them, my friends wear them...my next project is putting one of those bad boys on a newborn during a shoot...it'll look so presh, I can't wait!

ohhh, Miss Alyssa. Another newborn I was lucky enough to photograph a week or two ago. Love.

I was on the hunt for the best skinny jeans and was having NO luck! Finally, saved! A sweetheart from here in Indy opened up an awesome high-end boutique here in Greenwood called Lottie Dottie. Needless to say, I've been hiding Lottie Dottie bags from my husband for weeks now! hehe. Check out the store here!

and. What else? I've been spending a LOT of time drinking coffee. And Harper has been spending LOTS of time playing with Mommy's camera!

Have a good week friends, it's Friday tomorrow!!!!

MJ House of Clouds mini-sessions!

So, I had a Matilda Jane trunk show this past weekend and I can NOT wait to get my daughter's goodies! I'm even MORE excited to get some great shots of her outside modeling her new outfits!

I'm on a mission as soon as I get a chance to go prop shopping just for the occasion, even! Looking for some vintage suitcases, chairs and other fun props to take with us. Then, my mind got going again...how fun would it be to offer a House of Clouds mini-session discount to any mommas wanting some fun vintage-y inspired shots of their girls in the goodness of MJC?

So, this is the plan:

May 21 at Anderson Orchard
20-30 minute mini session of your little in any MJ attire (only requirement!)
Hair accessories and props provided by me
CD of 10-15 edited images with reprint rights
Five available time slots
$75 (that's a $15 discount off regular mini-session pricing)

You in?

e-mail me if you'd like to book! Session fee is due at time of booking.

I'm SO excited! Anyone wanna go prop shopping avec moi?

BOUDOIR!!!!!

Hey, ladies! :)

I just wanted to give you some info on the boudoir marathon I have coming up in May here in Indy, along with some "no-face" peeks from my January sessions, just to give you an idea what I'm all about.

The May sessions will be May 6 and 7 at a super nice hotel in downtown Indy. Sessions include:

- a presession consult with moi, to go over outfit ideas, questions/concerns you may have
- hair/makeup by the fab Ashley Stamper
- wine/beverage of your choice at the shoot
- 1 hour session
- a high-res CD of your edited images (anywhere from 30-50 images) with reprint rights
- an 8x8 photobook of your images

$100 nonrefundable deposit due at date of booking to hold your spot, $400 due no later than the day of the session. Payment accepted via paypal, cash or check.

If interested, please email me at sarah-bethphotography@live.com to book!

I hope every woman out there does a boudoir session at least once in their lifetime. It's awfully empowering, and also it's truly a super fun thing to do! Get all dressed up, prettied up and have pictures taken by a professional that knows exactly how to highlight your assets and hide your not-so-fav parts? Yes, please! I have had two of my own sessions and have another scheduled this year. I love having these books for me to look through...it's a nice reminder that I can still look gooood, considering I'm a busy exhausted mother of three!

Below you'll find some pictures to give you a better idea of what to expect.

Enjoy! :)
