Deadline upcoming to order cards from previous sessions!

Ah, two of my favorite muses: Claire and Samantha. This family is WAY fun, and mom Bug chose the images for a wonderfully out of the box card.
Purple and pistachio. The new red and green.
Contact Lisa by Thursday if you'd like a card with some images 
we've shot this year... or before.

More Cards-call me sentimental...

These are some favorite designs (and customers!) from years past. Most are custom designs, but if you see something you love, chances are, I can come up with something similar you'll love even more. After all, you'll be in it, right?
Again, this is available to customers who have sessions on file- a Spring Special shot would be super!

Love that Vice Squad!

Now you have food for thought- If you'd like the graphics fairy to whip you up a design, please e me by 12/7/11, and I'll email you back a proof for approval. Lab turnaround is speedy-a few days- on the press cards. And do mull over paper choices: linen is lovely, watercolor wows, but the pearl metallic, baby, makes me swoon.

I'm thinking the 5x5 round cards would look especially fab hanging on the tree. Cute?

 They're die-cut in the shapes shown, and come in pearl metallic, watercolor, and linen. They're 5x7 and 5x5, and-- easy-peasy! if you had a session this year, whether a portrait sitting or one of our specials (Spring?), we can: 


1) access that file 2) cook up a card with your fave design 3) email you a proof  4) on your 'go' the cards ship within the week (and, we can drop-ship to you for a teeny extra fee). 
Email Lisa at lisalens@mac.com with your favorite design, and the images you'd like to use (we are still doing traditional press cards as well).

A few from our Choo-Choo Special last Saturday-






















The Crew:
A big shout-out to Kim & Jennifer. Lovely assistant Kim Barton found this real CVX locomotive to play on. My credo: Easier (faster, too!) to ask forgiveness than
 permission

Come play with us at the Choo-Choo this Sunday!

Call (recommended) or email- This is going to fill quickly.
Would like to tell you we're so over the top on props, we haul our 1956 caboose out just for this special. Would be lying, though. It is, however, just a few doors down from the studio at 1009 Desoto Avenue. The Caboose Look for the dinosaur across the street (not lying).

Choo-Choo Special this Sunday in downtown OS!

That's right, no enduring weeks of Spring Special type promo! Thought we'd just spring this one on you~ as a little surprise.  Will be following up later tonight with more details. If you are pretty sure you want to take part, shoot me an email with an AM/PM preference. Pretty sure this will fill quickly.

Engineer hats & red bandanas- We provide the official gear! 
Just show up in denim jeans or overalls, & a solid tee (do like the way this little guy rocks the chambray workshirt, though).
Our Tutu Special will be within the next two weeks; still, little girl engineers are encouraged to apply.

Mrs. L.V. Hull

L.V. Hull


So I read today that her work is being- at last- noticed! 
A show this year at the Lauren Rogers Gallery. Collectors are beginning to sell it.
Not me.  Kosciusko isn't on the way to anything I'm aware of.  When I went to visit Mrs. Hull, I always drove up with that year's cache of Mardi Gras beads, and came away with a carload of art (including cafeteria plates and c.d.'s--she painted on everything). But it was all incidental to the experience of Mrs. Hull. I couldn't part with a thing. She loved company- and why not stay awhile, when you've bothered to make the trip to Kosciusko? 
Kosciusko's other "native daughter" is Oprah Winfrey, by the way, and Mrs. Hull didn't have much good to say about her. Never got to the bottom of that. The last time I visited, she was on oxygen most of the time, and I ran a few errands... changed light bulbs, made a grocery run for her. 
She died in April of 2008. I found out the day of her funeral, too late to make it, so I made these little altars around my house. Just found these images tucked away in a backup hard drive.
