Baby Details - Newborn Photography

Oh this little man was a DREAM to photograph. He was so content the whole time. I think the first image is my favorite from the session. I just love the peace on Mom's face.


 An iota is a small detail and when it comes to newborns I love all the little details from their tiny little toes to their sweet little nose.



 This was another favorite. We have Dad's, big brother's and baby's hands. I tell you nothing makes a little boy grow up like bringing a new baby home. Big brother's hands look huge in comparison. I am sure these two brothers will be best of friends.

Are you looking for a photographer in the Cache Valley area to capture the special details of your life? Give me a call for session details and pricing. (iotamaker@gmail.com, 435.764.3598)

BIG Studio J Changes!

Photo & Video Sharing by SmugMug

  Lots of great Studio J improvements were announced, including no more Membership fees! Now everyone can have access to all of the layouts and kit without a membership*. The layouts are only $6.95 and there are TONS of great kits. Also, when you purchase a printed layouts from Close To My Heart you will be able to download the jpg version of your layouts. Everyone now has the option of just purchasing the jpg files for just $2.95. This is a great option for those who would like to make a bound book with their Studio J layouts.

There are a couple of key points that I want you to be aware of:
1. Layouts on your account will only be saved for 90 days from the initial creation date or the most recent date of any online Studio J purchase, whichever is later. The point is create and print those layouts don't let them sit in the virtual cloud!


2.  There is a minimum order quantity of 4 physical layouts and a maximum of 50. If the order only contains JPGs then there is no minimum order quantity.  


3. Your Studio J order can now help a hostess or help you earn hostess rewards! You can attach a Studio J order to an open published EZ Invite by 1) joining an open Gathering from the home page of an OBA website and then logging into Studio J and completing a Studio J checkout. Or 2) logging into Studio J first and then, upon checkout, join an open Gathering. Such purchases, when part of a qualifying Home or Online Gathering, are eligible to generate Hostess Rewards and Stamp of the Month discounts.

*4. If you already have a membership, you will get to participate in a special Members Bonus program. Your member benefits - $6.50 per layouts, free memory protectors with your order and free shipping on one order (up to 20 layouts) per month will continue through September 30, 2012 or the end of your membership (whichever comes first). You will not be charged for your membership.  Members will also receive Free Layouts.  As a token of our appreciation, on October 1, 2012, your Studio J account will be credited with 1 free layout for each month remaining on your membership as of July 1, 2012, including partial months. Be sure to check your email inbox for an email from CTMH explaining the details and how many free Studio J layouts you will be receiving. If you have questions please give me a call. (435.764.3598)


Another fabulous addition to Studio J is the new Expressions Collections!  You can create an entire 10 layout (20 page) album in less than an hour with themes such as Year in Review,  All About Me, Little Miss, Little Man, School Days, and Travels! Pick and choose among the professional created layouts or make them all!  Either way you will have a beautiful album for all to enjoy. Just add your photos and journaling and you are DONE! They are available now, so be sure to check them out here, on my website. 


I am excited about all the changes with Studio J. If you would like to learn more about this amazing online software, have a one on one coaching session or host a Studio J gathering please contact me today!
