As the kids get older, often our only formal portrait is for the holidays. Whether it's baby's first Christmas or just a moment to stop and see how our children have grown, taking the time to take a family portrait is a wonderful way to mark the all-too-quick passage of their childhood.

For 2008, Deanna will be shooting from Nov. 3 through Dec. 13. All orders should be placed within three days of the shoot to ensure holiday delivery. Because my schedule is so much more open now that the girls are older and in school, you may simply call or email me with your preferred dates and we'll fit you in. Saturday appointments should be booked as early as possible to assure availability.

Take a few minutes to take a look at my new holiday card gallery. It shows my favorite images. This is my 10th Christmas to photograph professionally, and I am honored to be the person you choose to capture your growing family.

If you would like to see my old page of categorized portrait styles for the holidays, it is still up.
