Our “little terror” (a term of affection from her Aunt Gina) turned 5 last week and we celebrated her birthday with a pool party at the Comfort Suites in Clive.  What a great place for a party.  We have been to a number of pool parties there and it is always a good time - as long as you don’t wear a sweater (lesson learned from previous party) as the humidity is about 110%.  It was a nice break from a very long winter.  When the sun shone in you almost forgot it was 10 degrees out.

 
How many birthday girls do you know that request banana chocolate chip muffins instead of a birthday cake?

Small milestone: Lanie discovered she can keep her head underwater without plugging her nose.

We’re not sure if Lanie and Eric were overcome by the smell of chlorine or something else.

Look - no camera!

We are very proud to be able to offer handbags by Gina Alexander.  We have looked at a lot of photo handbags and these are by far the best we have seen.  Each bag is hand-crafted from the finest materials.  They are beautiful handbags on their own, but they are even more special when they include photos of your loved ones.  Even Chuck said he’d wear one if he were a woman.  Should I be worried?

To introduce these hand bags, we are offering Gina Alexander bags at a 25% discount to our customers who order a bag from a new or previous session before March 20th.  Orders placed by this date will be ready in time for Mother’s Day.  Also in time for Mother’s Day, we are offering Cift Certificates for any Gina Alexander Bag, including a portrait session, for $300.  These make great Mother’s Day gifts and allow Mom to arrange her portrait session and select the perfect bag at her leisure. 

For more information, please don’t hesitate to call me at 888.482.5735.
