Home is Where the Heart Is

I love being invited to clients' homes for their sititngs! It's so much more personal, and the kids seem to enjoy it more. (And Mom and Dad get to have more control over the area.:) ) This week's family had the cutest, and most opposite, twin little boys and gorgeous little girls, which made it even more fun. (Mom and Dad looked great too!) Part way through, some of the neighborhood kids came by to help make faces to help the little boys to smile, it was really adorable. I loved the khaki green color in their clothing choices. Here are some of my favorites...

Apples and Oranges

This week, I met an awesome family who happen to be my neighbors in an orange orchid. And though I love oranges, it's not the time of year that there are any big ones on the trees yet, so I brought some yummy green apples. The kids loved eating them, and I just love the color in the photos. And can I just say, have you ever seen such a picture perfect family!? Here are some of the highlights...

Custom Christmas Card Design

I started doing this last year, and my customers seemed to really enjoy it, so I thought I would offer it this year too. Many places out there offer a blank photo card option, as opposed to the pre-signed ones that you just plug your photos into and are limited in text. Like Costco, they offer a 6" x 7.5" blank card with envelopes for really inexpensive. So for any of my photography customers who would like me to design a card exactly how you want it (choice of text, fonts, colors, photos, design, etc.) using photos from our sitting, I offer this service for $25. For anyone else, this would be $40 and you would need to submit your photos to me, of course. Here are a couple of examples of cards/announcements from last year.

I do wedding/baptism/party invitations too!

Fun Families

I had 2 families this week. I shot one family on location in Mesa and the other around my neighborhood. I loved all the GORGEOUS little girls, and the pink high heels. Here are a few of my favorites.

It's here!!!

It's Holiday Picture taking time again. (If there is enough interest in the West Valley, I may add another location. So please email me if you need a west valley sitting.) Here's all the info (click to enlarge):

The most wonderful time of the year

It's that wonderful time of year that I start having massive amounts of family photos, yeah! I love the holiday season, and I wanted to kick it off sharing some of my favorite pics from the Mannes Family. They have so much to celebrate this year with the first grandchild being born and an engagement, and I am so happy for them all.

New Product..that I am sooooo excited about!

(example: Palmer)

I can now offer pictures, 12x24, of your last name made out entirely of LDS temple parts! I have been working on this project for many months now, and was excited that I finally took all the photographs I needed to do it when I was in UT last month. Funny thing though, last Saturday I walked into a home and guess what the first thing I saw in the entryway was...their last name spelled in temple parts. :( I thought I had an original idea, but I guess I didn't move on it fast enough. Anyway, though I may not be the only one who can do it, I'm sure I can do it better and less expensive than anywhere else. If you are interested, just email me at info@susancarrphotography.com and I will give you all the info, or just visit my etsy shop. (Link to the right of posts.)
