Christmas Photoday with Santa & Vintage Flair November 19, 2011

**Please note** Due to high demand for Santa photoday, we will possibly open more dates for appointmtents.. please email us if the appointment log is full & you want on the waiting list.  This will insure you a spot for the next day of November 20, 2011 :) Thanks!  send email here ---------> englemomof2@yahoo.com 

So excited for this photoday!!  I spoke with Jolly ole' Saint Nick himself this morning & he is just as excited as I am to spend our day with you guys!   We will be setting up outdoors and like always we are making it a bit different from the rest.  We've decided to bring out "ole' Green" aka Toby our Vintage 1971 GMC truck ~ which is one of our trusty true props.. Ole' Toby Green came to us last year for our fall sessions and we were in love!  The color of this truck is timeless and pops so well in pictures, I just know when we fill her truck bed full of brightly colored gifts it'll be cute as can be!  Then if that weren't enough, we are going to plop our super sweet Santa Claus on the tailgate as he talks with all the good little (& big) kids for the day.  We plan to have a few more special props to use with Santa like our Dish of cookies & our book the Night before Christmas.  We will add fun stuff as we find it & don't even question it.. we are going all out for this one!!!    So, mark your calendars because SANTA CLAUS IS COMING TO TOWN & it's going to be the cutest little visit he has ever made ~ let's show Santa how a photo day is done & help him to remember this day while on his trip to our sweet little town of Ellijay.

I want you all to know when booking that you are not only booking for the outcome of images but also for the memories this appointment will bring to your children.  This appointment will mean so much to the little ones who are able to come and not only talk to Santa but have Santa enjoy them.. When I met him this morning I was floored at his heart ~ he took his time with our meeting explaining his deep love for what he does.  I was told by a local that he went to learn spanish so he could speak to the little ones who didn't speak English.  When asked about that he told me that it broke his heart when a hispanic child sat on his lap and wanted to tell him what he wanted for Christmas but the only english words he knew were 'Trick or Treat'  ;) He said he then knew he would have to learn to understand the little ones so they could all tell him their wishes.  He also told me of his magic Key he brings to the sessions to tell the children of how he gets into the homes that do not have chimneys.. which is a question I've always had!  He will tell you all about this key when you guys come.. it's the coolest :)   So, why the stories.. I want you all to know that Santa enjoys this job & realizes what an important job he has with these little ones, he knows that they get butterflies in their bellies just by hearing his name & as they walk up to him to hop in his lap there eyes twinkle with magic.. it's the magic we all loose with the loss of our innocence.  So while that magical sparkle of belief still lives in your child bring them out to meet our SOUTHERN GRACE SANTA, he will forever touch their hearts & help that spark last an extra year or two.

Friday Fall Photoday September 23, 2011 RESET DUE TO RAIN!!

Hey guys.. I want so badly to wrap our Vintage Fall Photoday up but this weather doesn't seem to be looking too good for it.  As of now it is 30% chance of rain in afternoon hours, so instead of chancing it & getting our sweet green couch wet I am calling it off.  Even if it doesn't rain a drop our lighting has to be good or the image quality will suffer greatly!  We want the best for you images & session so Friday's Fall Day is cancelled and will be set to date that works for each of you.  I will contact you soon to collect dates that you are available on.  :)  Can't wait & thanks for checking the blog for our updates... we are planning new cool things every day so keep your eyes peeled for the fun stuff that lies ahead :)

Big Love, The Southern Grace Gals.

Friday Fall Photoday September 23, 2011

$180.00 includes session & disc *** $90.00 Due now to book session, remaining balance of $90.00 will be due at time of session.

It's a Beautiful World Mini Photoday! August 20, 2011 **and reshoot for Back 2 School

Directions:  From Walmart red light in Ellijay go South for 11 miles South toward Jasper.  Then Turn LEFT onto Antioch Church Road.. go to the end of the road (past the gas station & post office) at stop sign you will go Straight across the road into the drive way to cream color house.. has covered porch, and is an older-remodeled home.  We will be behind the house at the tree fort :) *****PLEASE CHECK THIS SITE BEFORE YOU BEGIN TO GET READY AND AGAIN BEFORE YOU LEAVE.. IF IT WERE TO RAIN US OUT WE WILL POST IT HERE, IF THERE IS NOT AN UPDATE THEN WE ARE GOOD TO GO!  YOU MAY ALSO TEXT ME TO CHECK BEFORE YOU DRIVE OUT  706-889-2425

As we all know beauty pageant days are right around the corner.  We have had many requests for mini session to obtain photos for 'Most Photogenic'  ~  We've brought so many girls to victory in the past, let your daughter be one of them.  We will host a mini photo day on August 13th in the morning hours for all our beautiful girls.   *** October is our Apple Pageant, so book now to have your images back in time for the deadline.

Each child will be allowed 15 minutes of coverage time, though for most children it will not take this long to obtain the images we will need.  Please know that 15 minutes of coverage is plenty of time to photograph your child, even if they are two and running wild.... After all, this isn't my first rodeo!  :0)

 You will receive 10 images on disc to print as you wish.  The images will be full resolution files and ready for printing as small as wallet size or as large as poster size. The images will be edited as we normally edit, though we will be paying extra attention to touch up any boo boos or bumps on skin.  When brushing skin, we take our time & really lightly touch up the image so that it remains looking like the subject instead of a plastic doll ;)  So rest assured your images will be edited to perfection, but will remain your child's sweet face :)

We plan to photograph each child in a different way so that if a child were to be competing against another, their images will be completely different :)


We will send out directions to the booked clients on Thursday night.    To book please click 'buy now' button below.  Deposit to hold your spot is $30.00 remaining balance of $40.00 will be due on photoday.  Please feel free to contact us regarding any questions or concerns, for faster response please text us anytime at 706-889-2425 or call Monday - Wednesday during times of 9am-11:45am.

We are excited to host our 'It's a Beautiful World' Photoday ~ let's make it a hit & book your slot now :)

Get your tutus and skull shirts ready ~ we are going to host a beyond cool shoot Kid Club House Style! 

Get ready for AUGUST 6th ~ It'll be 100% fun for the kids & will capture the meaning of childhood (wild and carefree!) 

$150.00 Session and disc investment total. Payable in two payments $50 due now to book & final payment of $100 due August 6th.  **Share our link on your Facebook page & if a friend books FOR THIS PHOTODAY, have them tell us your name (in payment section)  and you will get $25 taken off your final payment for this shoot.  The referral must be made when friend pays for session and only one referral discount per session.  

We will be setting up our photoday in Talking Rock in a real, tried & true club house.  I will be looking for a pirate style flag to hang from the door.. we are painting signs for the sides of the club house & over the door.  The signs will read "NO BOYS ALOUD" / "NO GIRLS ALOUD"  (depending on child)  and above the door we will have custom name signs.. example "Lyla's Club House" or 

"Tate's Fort established 2011"  We may have some kinda treats for the kids to eat while in the club house. **Please email me if your child has allergies to certain foods** 

I want to see funky attire ~ crazy colors, girls in tutu's, and funky leggings &  boys in Skull shirts, ripped up jeans with rain boots!  I want anything different and fun!!!

We want the kids to have fun with this photoday, as always we want them begging not to leave! I hear it all the time and I will never tire of hearing it "Nichol our children had so much fun & constantly ask when they can come back?!"  So please when you tell the kiddos that they are going to have their pictures made.. use these words "Kids, let's get dressed as we are going to play with a friend of mine today.. her name is Nichol & she wants you to see her cool fort!"   If the kids believe we are playing then I won't have to work through their stiff "Cheese" smile and they will have fun while I get the stuff I need :) 

Each session will be 20 minutes of photographer's time and talent and will include the disc of images to print as you wish.  We recommend using www.mpix.com for your printing needs.  Please go to this site to view print pricing and extra products you may like.   

Please make sure to arrive on time and dressed for your appointment slot as we will have appointments directly after yours.  Please feel free to bring special props that are special to your children, we will always try to incorporate them into the set.

With your session you will get between 20-60 images depending on the child's temperament and age.  We normally see an average of 40 images with sessions like this.     

Here is a sample of the clubhouse.. it is not decorated and the lil sweetie in the image was not dressed in attire we are requesting, but his will give you an idea of the cuteness this day will hold :)
