Merry Christmas!...card!

Merry Christmas everyone! I love this season! I'd love to share our Christmas cards with you; keep me in mind for next Christmas! We got a tri-fold (which means it opens right flap and left flap...kinda complicated); I wanted to try it out before I made it available to my clients. Anyway, here it is! Oh...and the picture above--she gave me this look in the studio...she knows I think she's gorgeous. Who wouldn't with that face? :)

Also, I've had several requests for gift certificates, and I want to let you know they are available in two very convenient ways: through email (jpeg) file you can print out, or you can pick up a nicer printed certificate on photo paper from your nearest Walmart Photo Center in an hour (provided they are open, of course)! I can customize your certificate for any amount (free photo session is $125), and I can add your names, their names, etc. in the To:/From: Have a color preference? I can do that too! Contact me at jholub@capturingcreations.com for requests or details! Thanks!

Merry Christmas!!

Family Photo madness!

I've been just loving the family photo sessions I've been doing lately! It's been one of the most exciting (and busiest) times of the year for me; shopping and pictures! Yay! Here are a couple from my brother-in-law's beautiful family--gorgeous!




So the shopping...I was definitely out on Friday after Thanksgiving (although not as early as I wanted to be...so tired! ;) But when do you know when to stop? I mean, I'm not done with all the Christmas shopping, but seriously, I really think I have a problem I need to fix. Furiously rifling through the mail for coupons; would you say I'm addicted to shopping? Maybe! My husband definitely thinks so... :D He and I had a great time together; we let my daughter stay with her grandparents for the weekend and it left us with so much freedom--more than I had imagined. Don't get me wrong, I definitely missed her, but my goodness, I felt so free. It felt like we were dating again...you remember, when your husband would actually enjoy the mall with you. I found him dragging me to more and more stores; I had a hard time keeping up! Of course, I am 6 1/2 months pregnant and my back was sore, but still...he had that glitter in his eye. We get so excited when we shop for our daughter it's crazy (but fun!). We also went to watch the movie Australia, which was excellent. Long, but excellent. I really liked Moulin Rouge when I saw it, and both movies are made by the same director with a lot of the same actors. A lot of people think it's about Australia, but really, it just ends up being the location. Based on real events in Australia, but the story is great. Had me dreaming that night and still asking questions the next day. That's how I gauge a good movie! Definitely left an impression. Anyway, go check it out if you get out during the holidays! Merry Christmas!
