A Mini-Warrior Snowman

It's been snowing a LOT here lately and the kids have been begging me to build a snowman with them so we finally went out and built a "mini-warrior snowman." Betcha didn't know those exhisted! And call me Mother-of-the-Year because even the baby was all bundled up outside with us in the exersaucer (hey, I couldn't leave him inside all by himself!) He seemed pretty amused watching us though.

I absolutely ADORE the picture of my oldest 2 because those faces are 100% them. Oh, and I made my kids take pictures with me in them so they know that I was actually there. Not a bad picture for a 4 year- old! Maybe there's some potential there!

A little girlie

My friend is selling the most adorable little clips for little girls and she is offering FREE shipping until the end of February. Check them out at http://alittlegirlie.blogspot.com/!

New Year's Resolutions

I decided that my theme for 2008 (in all aspects of my life) is going to be to SIMPLIFY and SERVE. Here's some more specific goals I have for France Photography:

Blog 1-2 times a week! Check back/subscribe to see photos, specials and contests!

Get organized!

Give clients their orders within 2-3 weeks of ordering (thank you all for being so patient during the Holidays!)

Do a couple Mini-Sessions this year (SO excited-more info to come on these in future posts!)

Well, that should keep me busy along with my 3 kids!

Oh and here's a pic of my sister-in-law (isn't she gorgeous!) who WAS prego and now she's in Boston so I can't squish my new nephew or take his pictures. But that does give me an excuse to go to Boston!

CHECK OUT MY NEW WEBSITE!!!

I am SOOOOOOO giddy right now because my website is finally finished!!! I know I've been talking about it forever and now it's online for your viewing pleasure.

To kick off the debut of my website, I will be having a Session Sale where if you book any 2008 session (and pay a 50% deposit) within the next 5 days (deadline is Wednesday, January 16th at midnight) you will receive a $50 credit!

Please note that I will only be taking a very limited number of sessions this year so if you are planning on getting a Session done anytime in 2008 (especially during the Fall), NOW is the time to book it before those limited openings are gone! Once dates are filled, you will be put on a waiting list. I cannot guarantee a spot for you unless you have paid a deposit.

Okay enough talk, go visit http://www.francephotography.com/ because you just might see someone you know since there are over 100 images on there!

P.S. The first 5 clients who send me an email from my site will receive a complimentary Gift Print (8x10, 5x7, or 8 wallets)!

Happy New Year!!!

I know, I'm slow. Just been enjoying hanging in my jammies and not having to rush anyone to school. That all starts tomorrow though.

Here's a fun Storysquare of my kids. These are a new product I'm offering this year called the "Defined Storysquares". I love these and am giving a Mini to my parents and in-laws for Christmas (I told you I was slow :0). Maybe by the time I mail them it will be a Valentine's gift-LOL!)

Random question. What was your favorite book you read from 2007 AND what is the best Parenting book you've ever read? I am trying to compile my 2008 reading list. Mine was "The Glass Castle" and the best parenting book I've read is "The Parenting Breakthrough" ~ soooooo good that your kids will hate you for reading it.

P.S. Check back soon for the new website debut and other exciting news!
