The Blue Angels

We went to the Oceana Air Show this weekend and enjoyed seeing the fabulous Blue Angels perform! The skies were cloudy most of the time, but some peeks of sun and blue sky appeared towards the end. :)

Beautiful maternity mama

This nice family is getting ready to welcome their second child and I enjoyed being part of the anticipation with them!

A note about sessions for holiday gifts and cards

(EDITED! Changed the dates)
As I'm starting to get more inquiries about sessions for holiday/Christmas presents and cards I wanted to let everyone know about the deadlines for scheduling these sessions so you can plan accordingly! If you want portrait Christmas cards OR if you are purchasing portraits for gifts that need to be mailed, your session will need to be scheduled by Saturday, November 29nd. For Christmas portrait gifts only that don't need to be mailed for Christmas arrival, your session will need to be scheduled by Saturday, December 6th. Any questions, please let me know!

Portrait Parties from Anne Companion Photography

Brand new from Anne Companion Photography, Portrait Parties in your home for you and your friends! With a Portrait Party, the hostess invites friends to her home and we schedule them for a 30-minute mini portrait session. I will bring my lights and your choice of a backdrop and some props to customize their sessions. You can also choose to host the party at a local park. Your guests will be able to view their portraits in a private on-line album about 10 days later and then 20% of the total sales will be given as print credit towards the hostess's portrait order! I will also give the hostess a $50 print credit just for hosting a party! Guests will receive 10% off my regular portrait prices and can save an additional 10% if they take advantage of my early ordering discount. This is a great opportunity to have portraits made for Christmas cards and presents. If you're interested in hosting a Portrait Party, please e-mail me at info@annecompanionphotography.com!

Look what I grew!

I've been gardening for a few years now and figuring out what works well in my yard and what's the most feasible for me to grow. ;) This is the first year I've grown canteloupes and I'm ridiculously pleased with how well they've turned out. They're so juicy and sweet!

Back on photography, as it is the first day of the month that means new specials and I'll announce those a little later today!
