Did you know that Christie's Photography makes custom invitations? We went to the campus of this graduate and took photos at places that were important to him. These photos gave a personal touch to his invitations that were shared with family and friends. What a great way to capture memories of this time in his life. If you have a Class of 2011 senior, call Christie's Photography and schedule your appointment.
Above is the front of the invitation, and below is the inside spread.
We also created a collage for mom and dad to enjoy in their home. This collage is an 18x18 print with their favorite portraits from the session.
A collage is also great for grandparents! Below is a 16x20 collage.
I had the honor of photographing this sweet little boy not long after he was born. Now about 2 years later, we took photos of him to send to his dad in Kuwait for Father's Day. He has the sweetest face and the cutest smile! What a joy to photograph him!

This is a new website that offers to store your FULL RESOLUTION pictures for you. No more worries about your computer crashing, CDs or DVDs going bad, house fire, etc. As a premium account member, HoldMyMemories.com will store unlimited images for you.
Storing your photos is probably one of the best parts of it to me, but that is not all you get from joining this Club. In addition to your personal photo storage, you also have these services and discounts as well: 100% of your monthly subscription payment is applied each month as credit to Christie's Photography purchases, free limited edition sessions, free 8x10 color portrait from each session, one dozen free Christmas cards with your October or November studio session, your personal HoldMyMemories.com family website, and monthly hosting of your password protected family website.
And that's not all! As a premium account member, all of your photos taken at Christie's Photography will also be loaded on your family website. At anytime, you can go to your website and order reprints from any of your photos. If you want to order a photo taken by Christie 5 years ago, all you have to do is go to your website and order the print.
You can go to www.HoldMyMemories.com to learn more. They have 3 different types of accounts. You can choose monthy, bi-annual, or annual payments. The best part is that by choosing the premium account you will receive more than your subscription back in free and discounted products and session fees from Christie's Photography.
If you would like to sign up for a HoldMyMemories account, you need to email or call Christie's Photography to sign up. If you sign up at HoldMyMemories.com website, you will not be eligible for the freebies and discounts from Christie's Photography.
I have started working on my family website. If you would like to see my website, go to www.HoldMyMemories.com/ricketts.

I have a picture suggestion for ya today. Get your camera and take a photo outside your front door about every hour. Sounds a little crazy but it will be neat to go back and see the difference after all the snow has fallen! I will post my photos from today this afternoon. Email your photos to me, I will pick a few to feature on my blog.
Also, I will be drawing a name from our fan list on FaceBook this afternoon for a free photo session and 8x10 print! If you haven't become a fan of Christie's Photography fan page on Facebook, head over there now and join in on the fun!
Upon the arrival of a new year I seemed to have acquired an abundant amount of ideas for 2010!
Having gone to Imaging USA conference in Nashville, I was bombarded with new ideas and ways to attract a wide range of clients.
I have already sat down to plan out Photo Session Specials for the next 5 months. I have a Valentine's Special for February, an Easter Special starting in March (with live rabbits!!) , and a Mother's day special for May.
Not to mention that i will be snapping pictures at UT Martin's Rodeo in April. Not to mention baseball season is starting shortly. Not to mention I've gotta have a life somewhere in between there.
Nevertheless, I will survive by the grace of God, and I'll have fun doing it!
