I recently did a shoot with a fabulous family who happens to have some of THE CUTEST KIDDOS…possibly of all time. They cracked each other up, goofed around like the best of pals and put a little smile on my face, too.

And there’s a sweet summer deal coming up on all family portraits! So, keep an eye out this July!

What a crazy year 2012 has been already! (Can I get an amen?!) Yep, this year is shaping up to be all kinds of awesome! And speaking of awesome, I wanted to make sure that YOU all know about the uh-mazing new prices for the FP Photography Classes*.

That’s right. Spectacular! So, if you were dying to take the class and were waiting for the next great deal to come along, wait no longer! Sign yourself up at the website and start rockin’ that sweet, shiny camera of yours!
