My thoughts




I can't believe that I did it again!  I kept this plant alive until it bloomed again this year!! It has 10 flowers on it like this.  Sometimes I amaze myself.  Haha!  We have been so busy with things around the house that I sometimes forgot to water my plants.  But they thrived in spite of me. 
That brings me to something else that has kept me busy.... I have learned how to create fusion videos!!  It is a new product that I am offering.  It is an HD video that includes video footage as well as still images that I have taken during a session.  It  takes me days to create one from finish to end because there are so many programs to work on it and many steps included. For that reason, they will be a product that I am commissioned to do before the session takes place.  I will of course need to shoot both video and stills during the session, but the editing time will be extensive.  It is all worth it though!  Just ask this mom that got her fusion video recently>  SL Fusion Video   It is a moving memory that you can have to watch how the day went, the fun we had, how they looked and how they acted at that age. Click on the link and peek at hers.  It is so amazing to watch and my husband and myself were almost in tears watching her adorable dance.  When you call to schedule a session appointment, you will commission me at that time to do the fusion video if you want one.  Easy!

About Us

Short Stories Photography by Julie specializes in photographing newborns and children and loves to work with children of all ages.  I can relate with them on their level and I appreciate every stage about them.

June Special-Don't Miss this one!  
OK, this month is my birthday month!  I am so thrilled and thankful to still be here on this wonderful planet of ours that I am celebrating all month and thought you would like to celebrate too. This month only, EVERY client that has a session during the month of June will receive a complimentary 16x20 canvas gallery wrap with their order. That's right... I haven't mistyped.  You place your order and at that time you will pick which image will become your beautiful piece of canvas wall art.  I LOVE canvas gallery wraps and I think that you would too.  Call to schedule your session soon because it is already June!!!
