Senior Picture Feature - Grace {White Bear Lake Senior Pictures}

I had the great fun of working with Grace a few weeks ago, at the very end of summer, when the weather was still warm & the days were still long & bright...

I'm working on finishing up the order now & thought I'd post some of my favorites. She is full of personality & energy, which made the session all the more fun, and I think her fresh beauty & joy are reflected through these so well.

Kids Halloween Costume Contest 2010 (at Java Train Cafe!)

*Just finding this last minute? :) Join us! We should have room for drop-ins, especially from noon-1pm. Come with your costumed baby or kid(s), have their photo taken for our Costume Contest, enjoy some fun fall crafts, and finish it off with a treat bag! And don't forget that Java Train Cafe is the perfect place to enjoy lunch & some play time. Hope to see you there! Read the rest of the posting for more details. Don't forget to bring your food drive items!*

Back by popular demand! Our fun-filled Halloween Costume Contest & Food Drive event: with mini-shoots for your costumed kids, a craft area, and fabulous treat bags for kiddos to finish things off. Saturday, Oct 30th from 11am-1pm, held at Java Train Cafe (Midway area, St Paul).

Plus, three costumed cuties will be selected as finalists by Feather Blue Studios & Java Train staff to be the Costume Contest Finalists, with open voting to follow to name our 2010 Costume Contest Winner! Kids ages 0-10 are eligible.

Shoots will be just 3-5 minutes each, and prints will be available to purchase post-event online.

To participate, you MUST PRE-REGISTER for a time slot. This helps us keep the event running smoothly plus lets us know how many treat bags to make up! You may come anywhere withing your time slot range, and can stay as long as you like once your photo is done! Space is limited, so don't delay!

To register, email or call the studio: 651.489.8281 or featherbluestudios@juno.com. We need to know the number of kids in your group, their names & ages, and an adults name + email address for confirmation.

Update two days before: Still plenty of space, especially in the afternoon. Email/call us with your details and the slot you want... For now we are calling 11am & 11:20am full, though if that is the ONLY time you can come, let us know & we will fit you in. But the afternoon has LOTS of availability, so for a more relaxed experience, choose the 12 to 1 range; come on over to Java Train for lunch either before or after your event fun!

Note: Java Train has an extensive (& yummy) LUNCH MENU! So no worries about coming over the lunch hour... come for the fun, and stay for lunch!

The slots to choose from are:
11am - tentatively full
11:20am - tentatively full
11:40am
12noon
12:20pm

(As slots fill up we will note it here; we take anywhere from 6-10 kids per time-slot to keep things running smoothly).

And DON'T FORGET: This event is also a FOOD DRIVE for Second Harvest Heartland, so bring one or more food drive donation items per child. Click HERE to see a list of most-needed food items. (Hint: there will be a prize for whoever brings the MOST food drive items!)

STUDIO Mini-Shoots - November! {Child & Family Photography, St Paul MN}

October is well underway, with all of it's beautiful colors & pumpkin-related activities. :) We have a few of those ourselves in fact! But with Christmas Cards & Gifts in mind, it's time to post more info about our NOVEMBER Studio Mini-Shoots!

The exciting news is... we have not one, but two chances, for you to get this incredible mini-shoot rate for your baby, child, or family modern portrait session.

-Saturday, November 13th (morning through early afternoon)
AND
-Tuesday, November 16th (morning through evening)

(please note this is a date change from what we'd previously posted, which was only Tues November 9th; that original date has been replaced by these two new ones)


The rate is just $89 ($79 when you book early!), which includes a $25 order credit! If you book before Oct 30th, you will save an additional $10 off the session fee! Each session is 45 minutes long, and includes your choice of background (a few minutes of set-up & background change is part of that 45 minutes). This rate includes up to 5 people. If you have more than 5 individuals as part of your family, please contact us about a slight adjustment for time & rate. And keep in mind that a max of about 6, sometimes 7, people can fit in studio shots. If your family/group is larger, please book an outdoor session (sooner, rather than later!)

To book your November mini-shoot baby, child, or family portrait session, please call or email Shannon at 651.489.8281 or featherbluestudios@juno.com.
