The Lollipop Sessions

I know that it is hard to believe that spring will ever come.  With the amount of snow we’ve seen in this part of Minnesota, my guess is that it might be a very muddy spring.  But spring comes every year and every time, we are anxious to get outdoors and begin enjoying sunshine and a bit of warmth again.   If you are the parent of a young child, you may also be getting that nagging feeling that you should really get some pictures taken.  They’re only this age once, right? 

For the first time, I am offering a special “Lollipop Session” aimed at young children.  As the mother of a three-year-old and a five-year-old myself, I know how far a little bribery can go to get a few good shots.  Last fall, I took my girls out for their own lollipop session and used the incentive to get their full attention and then enjoyed snapping a few of them enjoying their “reward.”  It works like a charm nearly every time!

The first annual “Lollipop Sessions” will be held at the Itasca County Fairgrounds on May 21st (with May 22nd as a rain day) from 9am-4pm.  As I mentioned, these sessions are aimed at young children, but children of all ages are certainly welcome to be included!  Each session will last about 20-30 minutes  and can include multiple siblings and sibling groups.  Family group pictures will not be taken at these sessions (but details on a family session special coming soon!). 

Sessions are $100 (MN sales tax not included).  Each session includes up to 30 minutes of time with the photographer and a CD of edited images.  Oh, and don’t forget—a lollipop for the participants. 

The first 10 families to sign up before March 31st, 2011 will automatically get $25 off the session fee.   Call or email soon!
