Just when you think the holidays are over–it’s time for Valentine fun!  Once again we’re offering our exclusive Vintage Valentine mini-sessions, complete with custom made tutus, angel wings & headpieces.  This year we’ve added a new vintage look, showcasing the blacks, reds & creams along with our traditional pinks and browns.  The new wardrobe and accessory options we’ve added this year give us the largest selection of styles and sizes yet!  Our wardrobe for girls is still a bit more expansive than for the boys (sorry boys!), but we have added some various sized vests, caps & a few shirts for the boys this year.  Please inquire for sizing availability for your individual cherubs.  We will also be offering gorgeous custom Valentine cards, along with newly designed offerings to showcase your timeless portraits.  These sessions will fill quickly, so please be sure to call early to reserve your date/time.

You may remember these lovely folks from their wedding sneak peek a while back.  There were just too many great images not to share more, so enjoy this, the story of two wonderful people committing their lives to each other and allowing us the privilege of capturing it, beginning with the wedding rehearsal!

In an effort to make Costumes & Cans 2011 run as smoothly as possible, we now have an online information form for you to complete before coming to the event on Sunday.  Please be sure to complete this form, print it to bring along with your canned food donation, and submit it online as well.  Every child photographed will need one of these forms completed to turn in at the event.  We are making every effort to make things as simple as possible for you at Costumes & Cans 2011.  There is also important information on the form that you will need, so if you’re planning on attending, please click here to complete your form today!  Thanks so much and we look forward to seeing you on Sunday, October 16 from 10am-2pm at our studio at 950 Reserve Dr., #130, Roseville, 95678.

Romantic.  Elegant.  Emotional.  I could go on an on with words to describe Roxie and Brett’s wedding last weekend, but these three epitomize for us the entire event.  We were honored and thrilled when Roxana asked us to photograph their wedding, as we know her sister quite well and photographed their entire extended family several years ago.  When tears came to her eyes as she first described to us how she wanted her wedding to feel and what was most important to her, we knew this was going to be special.  The event took place over several days at the Forest House Lodge in Foresthill, CA–an incredible venue that fit Roxie and Brett perfectly!  Their wedding was marked with not just one ceremony but two; first a traditional American ceremony set in the trees overlooking a beautiful view of the foothills, followed by a Persian ceremony at the Lodge.  What a treat!  We had never witnessed a Persian ceremony before, and it was simply wonderful.  We want to thank you, Roxie and Brett for inviting us to be a part of your day and your lives; words cannot describe how honored we are that you entrusted us with such an important time in your lives.

It’s that time again!  We’re so excited to announce our 4th annual Costumes & Cans event.  For those of you who haven’t attended, here’s the scoop:  bring your child in his/her Halloween costume, along with a minimum 5 can food donation for the Placer Food Bank, and you’ll receive a 5×7 print of your little pumpkin!  ( 5 cans minimum per child, not per family please).  Of course special priced add-on prints will be available the day of the event, but due to the volume of people, we will only be able to accept cash or checks for add-on’s.  No appointment will be necessary, so come anytime between 10am-2pm!  Please note:  the event is being held at the new Enchanted Images studio at 950 Reserve Dr., #130 in Roseville, 95678.

It’s that time of year again!  We’re excited to announce our 3rd annual Mommy & Me Portraits for the Cure event, where we raise money to support breast cancer research.  This year we’re keeping it local and donating the proceeds to the Placer Breast Cancer Endowment.  As usual, the event will be held at The Silver Spoon children’s boutique.  No appointments are needed, so just come in while we’re there!  The portraits will be made like those you see here, so dark colors will photograph the best.  We want to say a special “thank you” to the three lovely women and their kids who are featured here and have each been affected by breast cancer in different ways.  You are all strong, courageous, and deserve to be celebrated!

Happy Valentine’s Day everyone!  Here are a few highlights from our recent Vintage Valentine event.  Thanks again to all who came!

It’s that time of year already!  This time around we are hosting our Vintage Valentine sessions at our studio in Roseville and are so excited to introduce our newest angel wings and custom-made tutu sets.  We will also be offering beautiful Valentine cards just like last year, as well as newly designed offerings to showcase your breathtaking images.  The best part is that we have all of the tutus, wings, and headpieces, so all you have to do is show up (see examples below for ideas on what type of clothing to bring for the sweet little boys in your life).  These mini-sessions will book up quickly, so be sure to call early to reserve your date/time.

A few weeks ago we held our 2nd annual Santa Portrait Charity Event at the Silver Spoon children’s boutique in an effort to collect Toys 4 Tots.  We had an amazing response and collected over 200 toys!  We are so appreciative of everyone who participated in this event, as well as the Silver Spoon for providing the perfect location and the most amazing Santa.  There are far too many portraits to include in a blog post, so this is really just a teaser (and if case you weren’t aware, the first darling little girls are ours…:-).  To see all 188 portraits visit our Facebook page here.  Enjoy and Merry Christmas–Ho! Ho! Ho!

We are so excited to announce our 3rd annual Costumes & Cans Halloween charity event!  The event is being held at the Silver Spoon boutique, and we hope to make this our biggest year ever and collect more canned food than ever before (donations will go directly to the Placer Food Bank).  Last year we collected over 2,000 pounds of food–together let’s blow that out of the water this year!  Please bring your little ghosts & goblins out and help someone in need while getting a great Halloween costume portrait of your child.
