Yes! It's time to think about Christmas cards! :) | Session Availability

I have just been so blessed these past first 2 years of my business with the most awesome clients!  Thank you so much for letting me capture pictures of your beautiful children!  I really do mean it.  It has been such a joy!  

That being said, I am needing to take a little time off and spend time with my own children!  My littlest one will be going to Kindergarten next year, so he is only home with me for one more year..**sniff*.  And this fall I will have 3 boys participating in indoor and outdoor soccer, with some wrestling mixed in there somewhere.  Fall is such a busy time of year for our family.  So I will be taking some much needed time off this fall, starting at the end of August!  

When my little one goes to Kindergarten next year, I will be ramping up the business and be able to work more.  But this Fall and early Spring 2010, I will only be accepting newborns.   I have 2 spots left for FAMILY sessions this summer, so if you are interested, please contact me ASAP!  And you clients whose newborns I have photographed this year....don't worry.  I will be available to photograph their 6 month and 1 year portraits!  

I've had a slew of requests already for me to do your Christmas cards this year.  And YES, I will be having mini sessions THIS FALL.  What is a mini session?  Mini sessions are scheduled back to back, where i can spend about 30 minutes with your children, to focus on capturing that perfect "Christmas card picture".  Individual shots of the kids will be taken also.  I will take one Saturday and one weekday this fall to do these.  So stay tuned to the blog for the announcement!

ATLATNA:  I've also had a request to come down to Atlanta this Fall for mini sessions, which will include Christmas cards.  I plan on doing this sometime in September, so stay tuned for that announcement also!  

Here are some Christmas card examples from last year....

And remember to contact me if you would like to book one of the two remaining Family Sessions of 2009!  One is available the week of July 20th.  The other is Saturday, August 8th.  You can e-mail me at katiefwilliams@aol.com or call me 919-818-7208.

1 year old! | Raleigh Baby Photographer

Love this little guy and his family!  He's been walking for a couple of months now!  Not sure when he started, but i think it was around 7 or 8 months old!  His dad and mom are so sweet.  His dad will be leaving in the fall for training to become a navy chaplain!  Happy 1 year birthday little man!

VYPE Magazine April 2009 Cover

VYPE Magazine is a high school sports magazine that covers the triangle area high schools - Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill and surrounding areas.  I was flattered when they asked me to do the April cover shoot.  You can view VYPE magazine in its printed form online here or pick up a copy at local schools, fitness centers such as the YMCA, Harris Teeters, and many other locations.  You can also become a fan of their facebook page here.  

When i photographed Grayson Murry, I asked him if he was the next Tiger Woods...to which he replied, "I think I am."   He is only 15, and yet is following in Tiger's footsteps by becoming a three-peat Callaway Junior World Golf Champion.  Murry is definitely one to watch!
