Mother's Day is Coming!

One of the great things about being a photographer and a mom is that I am never short on ideas of what gifts will mean the most to my mom and mother-in-law. All the fancy jewelry and flowers in the world can't replace precious photos of their grandbabies, whether it's framed prints or items like photo handbags, wallet-size albums, or a gallery art canvas. This year, I can't spill too many beans because I know that my mom is reading, but I hope to put together something really special that includes a photo of her baby (me!) and her baby's babies. I'll be sure to share once everything's finished and the secret is revealed.

I would love to help you put together something special for the wonderful mommy in your life too, so for all sessions booked between now and Mother's Day (May 9) and completed by June 15, I am offering a complimentary 10x30 storyboard with every order (a $60 value, see below). Bring the kids for a session and order the prints to present on Mother's Day, or involve the whole family and receive a beautiful printed gift certificate to give to mom and let her choose when to have the whole family photographed. Either way, she will be thrilled with a gift that will outlast even the fanciest roses, jewelry, and especially chocolate.

In other news, don't forget to submit your entry into my Little Ones contest. It's easy to enter - just email a snapshot of your adorable little one (18 and under, please) to katie@katiethackerphotography.com and voting will begin April 10. The winner will receive over $300 in custom photo items and everyone who enters will receive three wallet-size albums with any paid session (a $35 value). Photos should be focused on only the child who is being entered in the contest, but snapshots can be cropped at the entrant's request.
