Business New Year's Resolution #1: Keep posting to the Blog!!!
Ok, it took me 5 days of January to get back here, but I made it.
My biggest news of the day is that I finally got the home-page updated on my website. I know some of you are in shock and will miss that July image. Later on this week I'll clean up my client gallery page and maybe even update some of the regular galleries. Take a peek when you get a chance. If you don't see changes, come back a day or two later. I have my entire week planned out and only a couple of sessions with clients.
2008 was a wonderful year. Thank you to my terrific clients and friends. I appreciate you more than I can ever express. In 2008, I had two Baby Plan graduates become the older sibling! I'm so happy to have these two families back in the studio on a regular basis. I know of a couple of other "graduates" who will soon become big sisters and brothers as well. I'm looking forward to those new arrivals.
The Baby Plan and the High School Senior Plans both got a face-lift last year. The new Create-Your-Own packages are a hit! All packages offer a savings over the a la carte prices.
I actually shot a wedding in 2008. It was a wonderful experience and I'm so happy for this couple. I do not plan to focus on weddings at any time in the future, but I did enjoy it.
Plans for the new year include a CONTEST for ages 18 months to 14 years, from now until March 24, 2009. The contest is sponsored by the "Tot's 2 Teen Tour" by Sandy Puc'. Watch for more information on this shortly!
This year will also have a couple of new Limited Edition Sessions and some repeats.
All teens should take note that I am accepting High School Senior Reps for the class of 2010. Interested students should contact me for an interview.
My new displays include more books! Over the next couple of months, you will have quite a range of samples through which to browse. I'm very excited about rolling these off the presses.
So, I guess that's all for today. I'll get the blog announcement for the contest posted soon.
Wishing you a wonderful new year.

Sounds like you have a great year ahead. I wish my little guy was old enough for the contest above. It sounds so cool.
I love seeing your work!!!!
You're back! Yay, horray! I love keeping up with your work. (Of course, I do look at the client gallery for the latest and greatest) LOL :)

Hi Karen,
Just checking in and see something new! Wish we were closer so you could photograph Joey & Lila.
Happy New Year!

Awe, thanks, Amanda. I'll have to photograph them the next time I'm up in Ann Arbor. (I'm guessing I could spend 2 full days with A2 little ones...) I wish we could have gotten together the last time I was in MI.
Hi Karen! I was surprised to see the new posts. We're coming back in town soon. I will call you to schedule a session. I can't wait to see you and the kids. Luv, Meg.
