2014 Winter Recap & New Year Special

Babies, Families, Kids

As the new year slowly starts to sink in, there’s one thing we can be sure about here in Anchorage… winter has definitely been a warm one! Literally, one for the record books! According to National Weather Service records, 2014 was the first year EVER recorded where the temperature NEVER dipped below zero here in south central Alaska. You may possibly recall the chaos from rescheduling our Winter Mini Sessions NUMEROUS times!? Well, good news… we FINALLY got them all taken care of, and I couldn’t be more excited to share a few of these fun families photos with you! I’ve said it a gazillion times, but I really am BEYOND grateful for such cool and understanding clients! We only ended up doing one of the sessions in the Savvy Images studio to meet that momma’s photo timeline, and even their photos turned out super cute. Once it did eventually snow a bit more, we were able to get everyone else’s done also. Most of my mini session families were repeat clients, and I’m beyond grateful for that. Being able to see and capture all my little one’s fun personalities over time is such is truly a HUGE blessing. Especially now with their families in this incredibly picturesque spot. Finding this gorgeous location was definitely challenging because of our major LACK of snow, but it was worth the search. It worked out wonderfully and I absolutely LOVE everything about it. It was just the winter Alaskan feel that we were all keeping our fingers and toes crossed for!! Because of the crunched timeline of these sessions, I sped the production up to get everything back to them as quickly as possible for the holidays. Once all was said and done, their photos turned out STUNNING. The best news is that they all have prints, canvases or mini albums to cherish until the end of time! ;-) And of course I had to include a few of the beautiful photos of my lovely assistant. We couldn’t pass up the opportunity to have a little photo fun for ourselves!

& NOW MORE ABOUT THE NEW YEAR SPECIAL…

Even though this winter has been a strange one, I really want to finish it out by making the absolute most of it. THAT is why I have decided to offer a pretty exceptional New Year Special to you guys… For the next month, ALL of our family photo collections will be HALF price!! Yes – you read that right, and YES – that is one HECK of a deal if you need current photos of you and your loved ones! Regardless of what Mother Nature has in store for us this winter, there are still SO many gorgeous Alaskan locations that I’m dying to photograph with fun, new families. This offer is only valid if your family session retainer fee is paid by February 8th, it may not be combined with any other existing offer, and you have 30 days to schedule/complete your session. BUT while we’re taking your photos, it’s required that you have as much FUN as possible. ;-) See below to contact Savvy Images about scheduling your beautiful Alaskan Winter photo session!Savvy Images Winter Mini Sessions 1

    Exciting News for the Holidays!!

    Maternity, Personal

    It’s that time of year.. the hustle and bustle of the holidays.. the time of year when we squeeze our loved ones a little bit tighter, and we’re reminded of all the wonderful things we’re thankful for. Before the holidays even began this year, things actually got a little bit chaotic for my little family. In a pretty amazing way. And in a complete photographers fashion (as you would expect), I thought that our amazing chaos would be best celebrated with a cheesy-cute photo shoot. My good friend Rob Siciliano, of Siciliano Photography, captured all the beautiful images below. We had to get a bit creative to find a photo shoot location anywhere near Anchorage that had decent looking snow. It’s completely beyond me that we live in Alaska, it’s mid-December, and I actually just said that we struggled to find decent looking snow! Luckily, both Rob and my husband were major troopers, and made my vision come to life.Taken by Siciliano Photography - Savvy Images Pregnancy Announcement

    That’s right, our little family will be welcoming a precious little baby GIRL early next June! This has been such an incredibly HARD secret to keep over the last several months, but we couldn’t be more excited. It is very clear to us that we have SO much to be grateful for. Our lives are about to get turned upside down in such a fantastic way! The spontaneous trips and some of my random recent Instagram photos may potentially make a little more sense now… We were getting our airline miles and adventures in while we still could. ;-) With the help of faux cocktails and many trusty service industry folks, we were able to keep our exciting little secret much longer than we ever thought possible! Luckily, (from what I’ve been told) it’s been a pretty smooth pregnancy, because going to multiple weddings and events expecting without many folks knowing about it can get challenging!

    Yesterday evening we had a balloon confetti gender reveal party with our close friends here in Anchorage, and with our family on video chat. I’m so grateful for technology (and my tech-savvy sister-in-law), so that our family could be a part of the fun on Google Hangout. WOW, I still can’t believe we are having a girl!! Now we can finally start discussing names, nursery colors, AND all the best safety rated baby products! (Have you met my husband?? ;-) Love you honey! I give you a hard time, but it really does make me extremely happy to know our baby girl is already a blessed little one) Pinterest and I have a major date tonight. For those that are curious, I assure you that this momma WILL NOT be jumping on the frilly, crazy pink, glittery, ruffled up bandwagon, just because we’re having a girl. Family, friends… Seriously, for the love of sugar and spice and all things nice, PLEASE pump the breaks if/when considering any of the over-the-top-cute little girl jazz! (wink, wink, nudge) ;-P

    Speaking of great baby products, if any of my awesome mommas out there have any great pregnancy OR baby product recommendations, I would absolutely LOVE to hear all about those!
