Alison Stevens Graduation Announcement

This beautiful young lady had a session with us back a few months back. Now it's time for graduation and she wanted some custom announcements so this is her template for previewing. We hope you like it!

Hiatus Update

Until further notice CTP will not be accepting any sessions.
Hope everyone is doing well. Enjoy your year!

We're taking a hiatus...

Well 2009 has come and gone in a blur! It was a crazy, busy year and we can't believe how fast it has come to a close. We thank all of our wonderful customers for the business over the last few years. We had more clients than we ever dreamed!
We have decided that we are going to take a hiatus of sorts. After looking back over the past year we realized how many things we missed with our families and it saddened us since our 5 little ones are our greatest calling in life. We debated what to do with our business so that we can pare it down. We are choosing to only accept our specialty sessions until further notice, which are infants 10 days and younger and smash the cake 1st birthdays. These sessions are also going to be on location only. This is a blessing to new parents so that they don't have to get their precious bundle out and drive down to see us. We will still be capturing the shots that we love...the hanging babies, scale portraits, etc. Scheduling for these sessions is the same as always, contact us while pregnant so we can mark it on our calendars.
So this is our bittersweet goodbye. We're sad that we won't see many of you much more. But we're very content knowing this is God's will at this point in our lives and that our kiddos will be much happier seeing their Mommies more!
You can still keep up with us on facebook and on the blog since we will still be accepting infants and 1st birthday sessions. Also, by being on facebook you will be the first to know if we choose to open up a few extra sessions for families, kids, etc, throughout the year.

Christmas/New Year schedule

We will be closed for the month of December and the first part of January to spend much needed time focused on family. During this time we will be discussing our plans for 2010 but we will not be taking sessions, emails, facebook inquiries, phone calls, packaging, ordering or printing portraits. If you are interested in reserving a session in January then you can contact us before November 30th to reserve your session.
Have a Happy Thanksgiving, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!

Ty's Smash-the-Cake

You might remember this face too! He has been coming to see us since he was in in Mommy's belly! Hard to believe how the time flys... Ty is now turning ONE!









So I have a confession.... one of the funnest parts of doing a Smash-the-Cake session is to see how differently all the kiddos react! Some of them LOVE it, and its hard to pull them away. Some of them like to crawl all over, tracking cake all over the entire studio. But I think we have record winner now. This child HATED it! Could be something to do with him being sick (I hate runny noses). But while the above portraits look like it was all fun and games (he was actually smiling in a few), this is how it really played out....



(oh yeah.. Jemma go covered too!)



I still think its simply adorable though. 100% Life- as it happens. Though it might not seem great now- what great memories. I bet nearly every grandma treasures the moments their kids were this young-even if they didn't smile 24/7.

Simply Life...Simply Yummy.. Simply Delicious. Enjoy it ;-)

2 Familes bring Christmas Cheer!

You might remember these babies! They came in a little while back for a Smash-the-Cake Session. They have now returned for their Christmas portraits! Here are some to get you in the mood for the holidays!











Enjoy!

Christmas cards for the Newtons

We had some sessions open up!!

We had some more full blown customized sessions open up due to people moving their portrait dates around! So here they are:
November 3rd 7pm (indoor only)
November 9th at 4:30pm (this can be a double indoor/outdoor session or an all outdoor session)
November 21st at 9am (this can be a double indoor/outdoor session or all outdoors)
Let us know if you want in and we'll book it! The 3rd is tomorrow night so I'm hoping everyone checks this often!

The Higgins

We just LOVE LOVE LOVE this family! This is Sandy.. from the Crackerjack Shack

You have seen some of her beautiful desings on here, as Eleesia and Essa have both modeled for her.
Anyways. We went to her house for her photo session. She wanted some beautiful images of her family and their horses (seeing how their horses are a part of their family).. and boy oh boy did we capture some! I love images that are artistic, candid, and simple. Just life...I can't wait to get the entire album done. Enjoy your sneak peek. This family session is so deserved.. and SO overdue. Been a long time coming.

Check out their amazing tack room!



And Mr.Ed:







Is this not just a beautiful family?



Do you know how you can tell if a man truly loves a woman? When his face looks likes this:


This image above is one of my absolute favorites. It makes me cry every time I look at it. You can just see the love pouring off him. Ahh....


And this image below I just think is the coolest. I really like the way she decorates. And of course, the hanging behind her, the curtains, and the recovered chair was made by Sandy. I think its just super cute. Mrs. Sandy and her baby!



And this the best trained dog you will ever meet! I begged her to take mine home and train her.. but for some strange reason- that didn't happen! Could it be that I can't even get my dog to "sit"?

The Garnseys

So Mr. Carter turned 3! The best part of our job is watching the kiddos grow up! I love this album. I'm just glad I'm not the one who has to choose. I love wild red haired kids! (Wait.. didn't I just say that recently?)

The Middleton Family

Meet the Middletons! We went to their home to do this session.. and they turned out so beautiful! I just adore wild red-haired kids!! Enjoy!

We still have a few spots left for Winter Wonderland, however, they are going super fast as well. If you are considering coming in for this event, I would book ASAP. And remember, although we are completely booked, you can always e-mail us to check for any cancellations ;-)

Miss Allison
