Peyton {Newborn Rep Program} |Dothan, AL Newborn Photographer

So, right before I went on vacation for Christmas, I opened up my Charlotte King Photography Newborn Rep Program.  We will call it CKPNRP for now LOL!

Anyways, Peyton was the baby girl that was chosen to come in.  There are certain qualifications to meet my rep needs.  Reps will model each session in the Grow With Me Plan, and have to refer a certain number before 6 months, or they are terminated from the program.  It's kind of like a Senior Rep Program most photographers use, but since I don't photograph Seniors, so newborn reps fit perfect!

Anyways, she was a wide eyed beauty!

 Wraps came from: http://www.facebook.com/pages/PLM-The-Prop-Shop/457915537587000

 Crowns are made by me :)  If you ever want one, just message me back, and I can do them in any color!

And ending with a dainty little picture :)  She was like a little baby doll!  After dealing with two back to back squishy babies and having sweet little Peyton in, I felt like I would break her!

I can't wait to watch Peyton grow, this is going to be a great first year with her, and all my GWMP (grow with me plan) babies!

Don't forget, I have 3 different levels of GWMP:

It is very affordable, and awesome to see your child grow at each sitting!!

Don't forget to grab your V-Day spot as well, and the full link on that info is: http://belliestotoddlers.blogspot.com/2013/01/sweetheart-mini-sessions-dothan-al-baby.html

Sweetheart Mini Sessions | Dothan, AL Baby Photographer

So, today I announced my V-Day Mini Sessions, these are super cute, fun, and affordable!!

As I was planning my 2013 year out, I want to offer many super cute and fun mini sessions!  I have 14 models that will be doing the modeling for the ads, and I've very pleased to work with them.  This session however is right around the corner, so I pulled my kids in last night and got them in front of my camera!

My little girl usually loves being in front of the camera,  but I think my little boy was loving it last night!

This will be one of the set ups for the session!  Cute, sweet, and simple!  I will have headbands, hairbows, rompers, tutu's, ties, and bow ties for dress up with your kids, or they can come dressed in their own clothes!

I will have my kissing booth set up as well!  Here is what it looked like last year:

It will be decorated a different way this year, but still super cute!

So, price?
Just for $25 you can get a 10 minute mini session with one downloadable image with print rights emailed straight to you!!  This is PER child.  If you pay in full you will receive a 15% off discount on the session price, and extra print/image ordered.

Can't download but want a CD instead?  It is $10 extra to put your image on a CD and have it shipped.  A discount will be given if you choose to pick up.

Once your images are taken, you will be put on my "To Edit List".  Once I edit, and upload your proof gallery you will be notified via email.  You have one week from being emailed to get your one image and order in.

All monies paid up front are NON-REFUNDABLE.  So please be on time.  If you are even a few minutes late, you are cutting into your on time.  So I advice for everyone to arrive 10 minutes early.

Future mini sessions that I will provide are:
Family minis
Easter Minis
Tent minis
Lemonade Stand Minis
Back to School Minis
Football Minis
Halloween Minis
Fall minis
Christmas minis

If you would like to be on an email list of information for each one, please comment on this blog post with your email address!

Tabitha and Jimmy {Wedding}

I think this has been one of the best, sweetest, and most emotional Weddings I have ever photographed to date.  When I met Tabitha and Jimmy for our in person consultation, they knew exactly what they wanted and still had some planning and gathering left to do, but from that moment, I knew that they wanted each other.

When photographing a Wedding, some forget why to hire a Pro Photographer.  It isn't the big up bringing, or the show case of the wedding, but catching the love, emotion, the bride and groom as them selves on camera.  I would rather capture true emotion, than a $5000 dress.  That is what they gave to each other.  Emotion.  The wedding wasn't about the fancy bringings  but their love for one another, and the location couldn't of been any better!

I would share the most beautiful thing that Jimmy wrote on his Facebook page the day of his wedding, but that is personal, and if I had permission, I would share, but I will say, it brought tears to my eyes!  It was beautiful!  When I left this Wedding y'all, I was so full of love, and couldn't wait to get to my husband and kiss him and tell him how much I love him!

How I would love to post every single picture from this Wedding, it would take me days to watermark every image and I don't have that strength!  With saying that, they will be very pleased with their images (I hope)!

Tabitha and Jimmy, thanks for allowing me to be apart of your special day!

Tristan {Newborn}

Actual sneak peeks will be posted on the blog now.  I will probably combine an album on my Facebook, but I think blogging is a great way to see your images alone with a story behind them!

Tristan was a three week old newborn <3  He has a big brother and two amazing, loving, parents!  They were troopers during his session and oh so creative!  Mom brought super cute hats and booties, and Dad brought his bowling ball.

When coming to a newborn session, I love when parents bring things that are dear to them.  I've now had baby doll that has been in generations for a newborn session, along with a bow and arrows, bowling ball, baby blankets, and a Dad's pilot helmet along with his Army issued supplies.  It is unique, and it is YOU!  I love it!

Here is a sneak of Tristan!  He is one handsome little man!  And quite a stretcher :)

If you are expecting, and are due soon, don't wait too late to book!  Slots this month are almost booked!!  Newborns are best under 8 days old, but they are considered newborn under 4 weeks old!  I love newborns.  It is my passion.

I hope everyone is having a blessed Sunday and I will return back to work in the morning!
