Schedule

I wanted to remind everyone that Catherine Amiss Photography will be CLOSED to photo sessions during the entire month of January. I take this month every year to spend more time with my family and to brainstorm about the coming year. I am very excited about introducing some NEW PRODUCTS this year! (Albums, photo boxes, cards....oh my!)

I am also super excited about attending a photo expo in Nashville in a few weeks, where there will be 600 different vendors! I haven't committed to exactly which products will be making their debut with Catherine Amiss Photography yet, because I want to attend the expo first to see first hand which products will set themselves apart in terms of quality and style. Stay tuned.....I'll post my findings on the blog.

I will still be responding to email and phone messages, so if you have a question or want to book a session for February or for the springtime, I'll be happy to help. HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! Here is our family card from this year. It's a trifold card, so it has a front and back and six (yes, SIX!) squares for pictures. The first two images are what it would look like all flattened out, but really the finished card is only 5x5 inches all folded up. I took some pictures so you can see better how a trifold really looks.

Below is the front of the card, and the view when you open the cover.



This is the middle of the card (or "inside") when it's all opened up.



And lastly, the image on the left is the back of the card (folded) and the image on the right is the way the back of the trifold looks when it's opened up.

So, these pictures of my boys were taken at Carvin's Cove at the end of October. I had to laugh (so as not to cry!) after the session because I think I always understand my clients a little better after I photograph my OWN kids! Sometimes when I pull out the camera, my usually sweet, wonderfully behaved children become little crazy people! It seems as though every client worries about the behavior of her children and I'm always telling them to just relax, let the kiddos play....we'll get some great shots. And I really mean it! I'm very comfortable with children, but yes, I DO understand your frustration when you're one year old won't let the 5 year old anywhere near him. :) (Hence, the cover shot.)
