Christmas Mini-sessions The Posey Family | Middle Tennessee Family Photographer

In between days of Santa sessions I had a day of Christmas mini-sessions.  These were also at the barn. My first family was another one of my favorite families, The Poseys.  They are always so much fun when we get together.

Scott and Kim are such a sweet couple.  Scott keeps us laughing. 

I am sure it's not always the case, but Matthew and Nathan actually act like they like each other. ;-)

Nate brought along some friends.

One last family shot.

Thank you for coming out again this year.  I hope you have a very merry Christmas!

Santa Mini-Sessions 2011 Jackie & Nathan | Middle Tennessee Child Photographer

Next to visit Santa were Molly and Stewart's classmates and friends, Jackie and Nathan. 

Jackie was so pretty in her new dress. She was surprised when Santa called her by name!

Nathan asked Santa if he was the "real" Santa.  A tug on his beard was proof enough I do believe.

Just a few without Santa.

Saying good-bye.

I'm so glad I got to share in their visit with Santa this year.  Hope you two get everything on your list!

Santa Mini-Sessions 2011 Charli Ann & Josi | Middle Tennessee Child Photographer

Oh what fun Santa mini-sessions were! I am so glad I decided to do these this year!  What a treat it was to get to see all the little ones visit Santa with their lists.  They were all so precious.  I have several to share, so I am planning to post one per day.

Charli Ann and Josi were the first to visit Santa at the barn this year.

I just love these girls.  They are simply precious.  

Charli Ann giving Santa a big hug.  Love it!

I just love this one of Josi whispering in Santa's ear. 

Their mom had asked if it would be ok to bring their dog, Molly.  I said of course!  Santa brings goodies to puppies, too!

After the girls had spent plenty of time with Santa, we did a few of just them.

And just a candid one of the girls playing with Molly.

Oh what fun we had that day.  This was just the beginning!  Check back tomorrow for another Santa session.

Santa Accordion Album | Southern Tennessee Child Photographer

I just wanted to share this accordion album that I will be offering at my Down Home With Santa mini-sessions this year. 

These are just the cutest albums.  They are the perfect size for your purse and come with a plastic protective sleeve.

Here are a couple photos of the inside.

And a view of the  back.

There is a minimum purchase of 3 identical albums.  Just the right number for giving and still having one to keep!

I realize that time are hard, and that is why this year's session will be the same price as last year (and the year before that).  I want you to be able to still get those photos of the kiddos/family you are going to treasure for years to come and the Christmas card that everyone is going to be talking about.

Price: $125 (plus tax)

• 15-20 minute session (the guys will love how quick it's over!)
• An online gallery of 10-20 images to share with family and friends
• A set of 4x6 proofs of the images from your gallery
• An 8x10 print of your choice
• Your choice of one of the following:

Option 1: 35 - 5x7 Custom designed photo greeting cards. These cards are professionally printed on photo paper and come with white envelopes.

An example of one-sided photo card:

Option 2:25 5x7 Custom designed double sided greeting cards. These cards are printed on heavy cardstock and are double sided (printed on both sides). They come with white envelopes.

An example of a double-sided card:

As an added bonus I will be offering a CD of all the edited images (digital negatives) from your mini-session with a printing release for only $75.  That is half off the regular mini-session CD price.
