Back to School

I enjoy having the choice to homeschool my kids. But sometimes it's just plain hard work and emotionally draining. August is like that for me. Knowing we need to buckle down, start going to bed at a decent time, plan all the nuances that were just big ideas last spring, and say good bye to the freedom of having days to do what I want.

If you're ready to have your child's custom back to school images ready before the busyness and routine of September hit, the Back to School Portrait Sessions are for you.

I'm offering Back to School sessions as the themed special event this August.

• Wednesday, August 19, 2015
• Appointments available throughout the day
• $35* retainer/session fee
• $10 for each additional child
• viewing gallery
• one web size digital image as sneak peek
• one free digital/or 8x10 print for newsletter subscribers
• additional prints sold separately

 *plus sales tax

Please contact corrie@thymeofyourlifephotography.com to reserve your child's spot.

Fairies and Fishin' Sessions are Back!

I was born with a built in playmate, since I have a twin brother. He loved playing with cars, firetrucks and bulldozers. I loved dolls, playing house and coloring. His matchbox cars would be the "mice" friends to my Little People doll house. We'd put on "plays" for our grandparents in the playroom and circus performances outside. (I think we were usually the clowns.)

Make believe was part of our everyday play. Now that I'm grown and a "responsible" adult, I'm enjoying creating make believe portrait sets. One of my favorites is the woodland glade for fairies and fishermen. I hope to create whimsey, wonder and a little fairy dust in these portraits. Each image is hand edited and customized with special touches to enhance the story.

Teddy Bear Picnic

My baby brother had a stuffed bear that had a music box that played "Teddy Bear Picnic." It wasn't until I was an adult that I heard the actual lyrics. The song is the inspiration of May's Stylized Session Theme coming May 22 and 23. Please email me to schedule your child's appointment.  Sitting fee is $35 for first child and $10 for each additional child. (+tax) (Be sure to sign up for the newsletter for the current specials.)

Here's a link if you'd like to listen on YouTube to the song, in case you've never heard the lyrics either :)

If you go down to the woods today
You're sure of a big surprise.
If you go down to the woods today
You'd better go in disguise!

For every bear that ever there was
Will gather there for certain,
Because today's the day the
Teddy Bears have their picnic.

Picnic time for Teddy Bears
The little Teddy Bears are having
A lovely time today.
Watch them, catch them unawares,
And see them picnic on their holiday.

See them gaily gad about.
They love to play and shout,
They never have any care;
At six o'clock their Mommies and Daddies
Will take them home to bed,
Because they're tired little Teddy Bears

Every Teddy Bear who's been good
Is sure of a treat today.
There's lots of marvelous things to eat
And wonderful games to play.

Beneath the trees where nobody sees
They'll hide and seek as long as they please
'Cause that's the way the
Teddy Bears have their picnic.

At six o'clock their Mommies and Daddies
Will take them home to bed,
Because they're tired little Teddy Bears.

If you go down to the woods today,
You'd better not go alone!
It's lovely down in the woods today,
But safer to stay at home!

For ev'ry bear that ever there was
Will gather there for certain, because
Today's the day the
Teddy Bears have their picnic.

Will take them home to bed,
Because they're tired little Teddy Bears.

Fishin' and Fairies Recap

It was so fun to see the backdrop, props and kiddos all come together to make such nostalgic images. Here are just a few of my favorites from the Fishin' and Fairy Sessions.
