Family Fun Time!

Sneak Peek and Portrait Parties!

First a sneak peek for some regular clients! (So grateful for repeat clients! Love all of you!)

And some sneak peeks for some new clients!

Now for some exciting news! Portrait Parties are here and you could host the very first one! I ran this by one of my clients and she was very excited. So here we go!!!! Host a portrait party at your home or other location like a park and earn print credit for yourself! Here is how it works, invite and schedule 4 or more friends or families for a mini portrait session. (Have everyone over at one time or schedule them in 30 min intervals) The hostess provides refreshments and location, I'll take care of the rest. The hostess earns $25.00 print credit for each session. That's a total of $100.00 credit (or more) to use towards prints, canvas or collages from your own session! Proofs are emailed to each family in a slide show format. Portrait Parties are great for Mommy and me groups, family portraits, children's portraits or even a group of Seniors!!! Possibilities are endless. Email Angela at classic.creations@yahoo.com to book a party date and location. Each hostess will receive a special gift for parties booked now through Aug 30th!

Senior Portrait Scholarship Deadline approaching...

Just a reminder the Senior Scholarship Deadline is fast approaching. Email classic.creations@yahoo.com to receive an application! Scholarship winners will be announced July 10th.

Sisters by Chance... Friends by choice!

I couldn't resist posting this one. These two just make me so happy. I mean like heart swell happy. It isn't easy when you are a blended family. But hey, that's how I like my margarita's! (Could really go for a couple of those right now.)

You'll be sick of me and my kids by the time I post everything. It's been an awesome couple of weeks and there is lots to share. (Got some cool shots from the lake and our canoe trip. Coming Soon)

And these of Emily and Jess goofing around as usual. They had a good time at Camp Rainbow. I hope it's an experience my girls will remember forever! I know I will. Can't wait until next year. I was so honored to photograph these little campers and all the amazing BWC friends that make this incredible week happen for these kids.

Special Note to Camp Rainbow families. Please feel free to email me for a copy of the slide show. We will only email privately, it will not be posted on the blog. Classic Creations also releases any copyrights of these images taken during the camp. Much love to you all!

Camp Rainbow ROCKS!

Geri & The Butterfly

So, we were playing in the pool one day and this amazing butterfly landed on Geri. And it stayed. Fluttering off here and there but returning right to Geri every time. She scolded me for not having my camera readily available. We slowly crept out of the pool, walked around the house and I ran for the camera. Amazingly enough the butterfly was still just hanging out so we were able to get some awesome shots! She's truly a nature girl~having tons of fun with Kate. Ah, I love these girls!

Pretty Pretty Princess...

I feel totally out of pocket! This internet thing has got me crazy! Please forgive me if you are waiting for slides or emails. Feel free to call me if you worry I haven't received something. I'll do my best to catch up soon. We hope to have it all worked out by Thursday!!! In the mean time a much over due post! And if I'm lucky there will be more to come.

Calling all 2009 Seniors

Sometimes life is just plain hard. Just the day to day can be difficult, especially when your a blended family and the dynamics are sometimes, well to be gentle, out of wack. God knows that I often fall short or at least I feel like I do. But no matter what's going on at any given moment there is never any doubt that I'm the luckiest woman in the world. Don't take that as my life is perfect. Far from it but I know I'm blessed and by the grace of God I feel really lucky. Lucky to have six beautiful, amazing healthy kids, a wonderful husband, a terrific family and a Grandmother who has survived lung cancer long enough to see her 80th Birthday. We've all got STUFF! No matter what, there is just always stuff! And with all my own stuff to take care off sometimes I feel like I don't have much left to offer those who might be in need. But over the last year I've come to realize that my passion for photography is exactly what I have to offer. Which is one of the reasons I do what I do and I love it so much.

Please check out this month's ad in Clarksville Family Magazine. Call or email me if you are or know a Senior that would be a good candidate for our Senior Portrait Scholarship Program. Applications will be accepted through July 1st and recipients will be announced on July 10th!

Erin & Ben

It was truly amazing to be apart of Erin and Ben's big day! I just wanted to post something for you to look at when you get back from the honeymoon. Hope you like it and believe me there is much much much more to come. Both of your families where so wonderful, you are both very lucky to have each other and your family. (Erin, my dear, you made a beautiful bride!)

"A" and her Angel's

I'm still playing catch up. And I can't always post sneak peeks for everyone, although I do try. But I just had to post this one. I'm personally so grateful to our military families. There is so much sacrifice in what they do. This family has become very special to me as I have had the privilege of photographing them several times now. (One time Dad and Giant Pup Harley got to be in the picture too.) I hope these portraits make Dad very proud for Father's Day!

Another Senior Peek!

Senior Portraits are a favorite of mine to do! I consider it a privilege to be apart of and document such an exciting time in a young person's life. We are looking forward to seeing lots more Seniors and want you all to keep your eye's out for the June issue of Clarksville Family Magazine. We have a very special program we will be offering in hopes of giving something back to a world that's given so much to us! So more on that in a later post!

"L" hope you like your peek! Slide show coming soon!

Your Attention Please!

And no, it's not just to look at my cute little pup! (Who's not so little anymore. Harley has really grown. It must be from all the eating of the furniture. Mmmmm Mmmmm!) But this is just a little post to let you guys know. CHARTER!!!! Has been more down than up for me over the last two weeks. So please forgive me if you haven't gotten your post or email. I promise to catch up. If you are hoping for pictures orders by Father's Day PLEASE email your order by Jun 5th and call me for confirmation! I might not have received it due to CHARTER! (I swear, I'm not bitter. Much.) Lots going on over here. Ernie has been working hard. Pond is almost finished and lots of new props are around the grounds.
