Back by popular demand, February will feature John Deere Days for the Limited Editions Theme! Sessions will be available on February 6th, 8th, & 9th between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.

This Limited Editions session will feature the pedal John Deere Tractor for the kiddos that are old enough to sit well and a smaller scale tractor is available for the littler ones. This theme will work best for babies that can sit alone and older!

Clothing suggestions are anything denim. I do have some overalls available in smaller sizes. This isn't just for the boys . . . doll them little girls up in their boots and denim dresses and this theme will fit perfect for them as well!

There are no session fees for this special, and collections start at $100. This is a savings of $85.00 off of a regular session! One pose will be chosen for the collection, but additional poses may be purchased at 25% off Ala Carte prices! You will view and order the day of the session!

A $25.00 scheduling fee adds your session to the calendar and will be applied to your collection purchase. Call 873-5258 or 629-5677 to schedule your session. Have your credit card ready.
