Holiday Availability 2012

The Holidays are sneaking up on us!  Halloween is in just over a week and then my brain goes into full on Christmas mode!!

Session availability for this year's holiday season is very limited.

Presession consults and ordering sessions will be done on Mondays, Fridays and Saturdays (mid-day only).  The last day to order your prints in time for Christmas this year will be December 8.   Anything ordered after this date will not be placed until after the new year.  If you will be ordering Christmas cards I recommend booking a session for before Thanksgiving and ordering by the end of November.

Here is a list of the available sessions and times for November.  The last date for sessions in 2012 is November 25.  I will not be available to shoot in December in order to get the sessions processed and ordered in time for Christmas and to allow for time with my family.   A reminder that sessions are booked for 2 hours so please allow that much time in your schedule.

AM   We can start as early as 8 or as late as 9:30
PM   We can start as early as 3:30 and as late as 4:30.  Remember it starts getting dark earlier so we have to allow for enough light!!

Tiny Stars Contest!

Sorry for the delay on the blog!  As many of you know I am also a Nanny for this cuteness 3 days a week, and along with some family stuff, the last couple of weeks have gotten away from me!

Who can resist her?

But on to the important stuff!  The Stolen Moments Studios Tiny Star Contest!

I am looking for a child/family to be the face of Stolen Moments Studios for 2013!! My kids are cute and all, but so are yours and mine get tired of having to take pictures every time I want to do something fun with the studio!!

I will be accepting the applications for individual children and for siblings. There will only be one winner but the winner may be a set of siblings as opposed to one child.

My family and I will be going through each application and getting a group of top selections that will then be opened up to voting by all the SMS fans!! I am so excited to do this and showcase some awesome kids!!

A picture that shows your Child/Children's personalities.  If you are entering more than one child, you can submit a picture of each or a picture of both.  

If I were entering my kids, this is the picture I would use!

They are crazy.  You all have no idea!

I'm looking for ANY child 12 and younger! As long as you would be able to meet in the Clayton/Raleigh, NC area for the 4 shoots you are eligible!! And remember Stolen Moments Studios is a special needs studio, so don't let the fact that the shoots might be challenging discourage you from submitting your child!!*

Applications will be accepted from October 1, 2012 to October 31, 2012. Fan voting will take place in late November and the winner will be announced around Christmas! Just email the above information to photography@stolenmomentsstudios.com with the subject line "Tiny Stars Contest"

If you have any questions please feel free to ask! I can't wait to see all the Tiny Stars we have!!

* If you would like to tell me that your child has special needs but do not want it disclosed in the voting write ups, that is definitely an option!! I try not to point out my clients who have autism, adhd, down syndrome etc. in any galleries, unless the parent asks or wants to allow me to use them as a representative of that aspect of the studio. It is not their label, and whatever disability they may have does not effect how cute their pictures are!! I have ADHD myself, and I know that it does not define me!

**There have been some problems with the emails not going through.  My mailbox is small, so if you have problems sending your application, send it without the picture and I will reply with my personal email to send the pictures to!  Thank you! **
