Happy, happy day!

May this day and all others be happy for you!

I am deeply and joyfully grateful for each of the children I get to meet and photograph. It's my dearest wish that the artwork we create together carries its unique message and enduring meaning across generations.

Thank you, to all mothers who often carry the responsibility and joy of ensuring that their child's story gets told and remembered.

To be entrusted with part of this work is a privilege I cherish every day.

Delight in your children, today and always! Happy Mother's Day!

Mini-session previews (Preschool fundraiser) - part III {holiday photography atlanta}

Last part of these previews (or rather postviews, since the families have already received their galleries) -- loved the joyful spirit of these mini sessions, so much that one learns about each family's dynamic in so little time!

By popular demand the October Special has been extended throughout November.

There are however only a handful of session dates available pre-Christmas, so if you know you want to book a session (especially if you require a weekend date) contact me right away (oana@shutterview.com), don't be left out!

What's a post without a picture? Here is a preview of one of the families photographed during 4 full family mini-sessions days over the past month, each benefitting a worthy organization.

Get carded! (pre-holiday special){holiday cards photography}

As Fall nears and the holiday season is on our mind, plan to schedule your family photoshoot before the last minute rush.
To help with your plans and budget, here are some specials you will enjoy!

Fall Special 1:
Throughout the month of October, I am offering shorter sessions which include a pack of premium designer folded 5x7 cards (using 1-4 images from your session)

For $200, you get an hour of photography, a one week gallery with 15 or more images to choose from, and 24 custom-designed holiday cards with envelopes.
Call to claim your spot now, especially if you are looking for a weekend session, as we are already booking into mid and late October.

Fall Special 2:
If you had a session recently and would like to use that imagery for your holiday pieces, contact me before October 15th and I will reload your gallery with all ordered images, and design a card for you at no cost.

Fall Special 3:
For those families who have lots of friends on their mailing list, and would love to share the gorgeous images we created this year with everyone, I have a special volume discount:
For every two packs of cards at the regular price, get up to three additional packs at 60% off!
This offer is valid through the end of October.


You can mix and match any of the above offers, as needed. If you'd like to mix Special 1 and Special 3, the complimentary pack you get with your session can count towards one of the full cost sets of cards, making this an even better value!


Let's get the family together and make some amazing art pieces to share with your loved ones!

Business owners? Consider creating some unique cards showcasing your accomplishments and personality, to send to your most valued clients!

Contact me now, and see you very soon.

Family togetherness {atlanta holiday pictures}

You may remember this special family from this post earlier this year, when I witnessed the joyful arrival of baby Elsa.

I had fun photographing the extended family in a beautiful outside area near their childhood home. Enjoy!
