Babey Family | Sunset Beach Session

jacksonville beach lifestyle baby photoNow that the holidays have arrived, and it’s likely that most of the holiday cards have made it to friends and loved ones, I’m able to share some of my fall mini-sessions that happened this past October. First up is this sweet family of three. Meg and Luke were new parents to 8-week old Jack.

Jack was so alert this evening. He had his nap, and slept the rest of the way in the car ride down. Mom and I had spoken when she booked about concerns over baby’s temperament for the photos. If babies end up overly tired or cranky, it can make for a stressful session, and babies are just generally happiest earlier in the day. Meg (mom) would give the advice to make sure babies this young have had a mellow day, have had a nap prior to the session, are well-fed and with a clean diaper at the start of the session! It sounds like she planned it out perfectly because Jack was very chill and happy right through our entire time together.

Meg and Luke have already used these images for Baby’s First Christmas cards, as well as had a few images printed as canvases to hang in their home. To quote Meg, “we love our images! Everything turned out perfect!” I’m already looking forward to when I get to see this sweet family again!

Sally | Jacksonville Newborn Photographer

Sweet, sweet Sally. Sally was a dream baby to work with during her newborn session. Not only does she have just the right amount of squish, but she was so sleepy! Newborn photographers love sleepy babies!

Sally’s mama is Pam from Pam’s Precious Prints, a regular here! Her business was featured in a recent Vendor Spotlight, and her baby bump was featured even more recently for her maternity session! Luckily, Pam and I have been planning ahead for Sally’s newborn session because Sally decided to arrive a wee bit early! And because big sister Melanie was SO excited to be surprised with a new baby sister, we let her help coordinate some of Sally’s accessories during her newborn session!

Because Sally was baby number 4 for this mama, Pam wanted a dream maternity session. It was so wonderful to incorporate the gorgeous, bright and colorful gown from that session in Sally’s newborn session. Perfectly tying the two sessions together!

Finally, the last setup that was month’s in the making was this fun Star Wars setup. A perfect Yoda Sally does make.

Holiday Greeting Card Ordering Time

Does your to-do list keep growing longer by the hour this time of year? Have you even thought about your holiday greeting cards yet? No? I didn’t think so! LOL

I know so many of you have waited until the last minute to get your family photos done (ahem!), and now you’ve still got to design your card, order, address and then finally mail them! Why not hand one of those t0-do off to someone else this year?

I’ve got a handful of options for holiday cards for 2015 (see below), and with each purchase comes one round of complimentary customizations after your initial selection. These must be ordered by Dec 6 to ensure plenty of time for delivery to me, and then time for your own personal prep and mailing prior to the holidays. I’m able to change the font color if desired to make them work great with any color combo!

Pictured above is one card front with two optional backs. Cards are 5×7 flat premium matte cards – 24 in a box, with envelopes.

 

1 Box = 24 cards plus envelopes

Premium Matte Finish

Double-sided

Flat Cards

$65 per box for 1-3 boxes

$50 per box for 4+

TO ORDER: Email me at april@aprilpeebles.com or call at 904.868.0732 for further details.

Proofs will be sent via email, but if colors are a concern, you should plan to meet in person to review the final proof copy as every monitor is different and mine is calibrated to work with the print lab I use.

FAQ:

Why is the cutoff so early? In-house turnaround time is often up to 3 days for cards, and shipping also generally becomes slower from Thanksgiving to Christmas, too. I would say it will take 7-10 days for your cards to be delivered, but will keep you posted as I get shipping notices so we can arrange a pick up appointment.

What’s included in the cost? My design time plus one complimentary round of customizations, 24 cards, 25 white envelopes, and shipping to the studio. I prepare them for pick-up and arrange delivery with you. Tax is not included.

What types of things are part of the complimentary round of customizations? This includes things like placement, specific wording, and color selections on the basic card design selected. Image changeout is also included. After one round of this, each additional round will incur a $15 charge.

Can I create a card for you if I wasn’t the photographer? Yes, absolutely I can – as long as you have a print release from the photographer who took your photos. I bear no responsibility of the color or editing of the images and can not change or edit these even with a print release. That violates copyright and isn’t covered in most print releases.

Everything sounds wonderful! Please take this off my hands! How do I order? Please email me at april (at) aprilpeebles (dot) com for further details. Let me know if you have an image you definitely want to use already in mind, or if you have a style of card above that you like. Also, let me know if you prefer to just have a quote or if you’d prefer a collage of images on the back. Finally, please include how you want to sign your card. You may also click here to fill out my standard inquiry form and I’ll be in touch ASAP!
