the best valentines day gift ever {glam session}

ladies!?  how about giving him a gift he’ll never forget?  we’re are offering a studio special on our glam sessions- what we like to call “boudoir sessions“.

when?

jan 9th and 13th

what does it include?

a studio session, an awesome keepsake box with a custom designed metallic canvas image, 8 mounted 5×7’s that will go in the box… and maybe a little bit of bubbly the day of ;)

do i have to wear lingerie?

this session is all about you and whatever you’re comfortable with…you can show up in your husbands button down shirt if you want.  you decide!

*invite your girlfriends to come and do their session with you!

the fabulous taylor with complete look makeup will be available for makeup this day as well! she’s awesome, and i highly recommend professional makeup for this session…false eyelashes are the best!

please email us at heather@heatheressian.com for more information, at that time we will also send you a slide show of some of our recent glam sessions!

BRIDES TO BE: this is also a great opportunity to give your groom a wedding gift. i think that would count as a pretty unforgettable wedding gift.

merry christmas!

we hope you all have a wonderful christmas, and enjoy making good memories with family this year!  we are so thankful for our clients and want you to know that God has surely blessed us through you.  and thank you to each of you who take the time to encourage us and leave such kind comments on our blog.  muah!! i feel like the luckiest girl to do what i do for a living! cheers to a wonderful 2009!

so i didn’t make time to send out a personal christmas cards this year, but wanted to share a little something i threw together.  zoe is so proud to be the face of our family this year ;) .  she even got a special grooming today (which never happens because her crazy mother thinks she can do it herself) needless to say we never have pictures of her because she looks like a tumbleweed most days.

we had a little impromptu photo sess. today, pardon me for my casual look  ;)

IMG_8335w most mothers would just be bias towards their puppies, but i’m convinced she’s the cutest yorkie pup out there
