Every so often, I get introduced to a photographer that just knows how to work with kids…  
And with me having 5 boys, that is SUPER important. That, AND, that they take great photos! I was SO excited to do a photo shoot with Sara Pine (www.sarapine.com). Sara is beyond awesome with kids. The shots she was able to get, captured their true personality. Sara has been behind the camera since the age 11 and it shows! She is truly terrific and I HIGHLY recommend her. She is offering a weekday special – $300 includes the photoshoot at the location of your choice and ALL pix send via DVD for you to do whatever you would like with them!

It’s time to start thinking about HOLIDAY CARDS!


Maggie Storm doesn’t create moments, she captures them. She shoots on-location, and am a natural light, photojournalistic photographer. That means she takes pictures of you all having fun together and try to avoid posing you, having you stop and smile and look at her as much as possible, but capture the wonderful moments you have as a family. She loves shooting at parks or beaches, but can also shoot in the comfort of your home if you’d prefer. Jen’s List Promotion: Free 8×10 Print with your session!
