I took Ginger to Bark in the Park in Lebanon on May 3 and we had a really good time!  There were so many doggies there, plus we got a ton of free stuff from the vendors!  AND…. Ginger revealed how talented she is.  She painted this for me:

Isn’t she a wonderful painter?  Who knew?? 

Anyway, she is recovering from her awful haircut quite nicely.  Here are some photos I took of her just now (forgive the horrible lighting in my living room).  Can you tell she’s spoiled rotten??? LOL

Until next time…

My computer has officially flatlined….. *hoping and praying that I won’t have to reinstall all my programs!*  It should be fixed by tomorrow afternoon though.  Then I’ll be back and posting with photos! 

Ok guys, my computer is sick!  The PC Dr will be here on Saturday to check it out for me, but until then - if you email me and I don’t respond within 48 hours, please resend it!  Or call me!  Thanks!

I have the hard drive to my old computer installed as a slave and I think it is about to bite it.  Hopefully, it will be an easy fix for the PC dude and things will be back to normal this weekend! 

à bientôt! (I’m trying to brush up on my French…. )

This little guy surprised his parents by arriving a few weeks early!  He is so tiny and adorable.  I’m so glad I had the opportunity to photograph him yesterday!  Here are a few of my favorites of Mr. M. and another quote I love…

“Sons are the anchors of a mother’s life.”
– Sophocles

Until next time…

… and so alert!  Miss C. was so tiny and adorable….  And her bedroom was every little girl’s dream come true!  I love photographing newborns, they’re so fresh and new… it reminds me of what a great gift life really is.  These brand new little people - they have their entire lives ahead of them, anything is possible.  Very exciting, and makes me wish for my own newborn :)  Anyway, I found this quote the other day and I love it:

“A baby is God’s opinion that the world should go on.”  ~Carl Sandburg

Here are a few of my favorites of Miss C:

Until next time…. -S

I’m pleased to announce that I am now a participating photographer for Celebrating Adoption.  This is a great organization and I’m happy to be a part of it!  To find out more, visit their website:  http://www.celebratingadoption.org/

And I had a blast with these two girls!  Miss E and Miss A were full of fun last week when we were by the Square in Lebanon.  It was cold and windy, but they were troopers!  They were great and I can’t wait to photograph them again!  Here are a few of my favorites….

And little Miss E, being REALLY silly LOL…

Thanks girls, see you soon!

I photographed this young couple Friday night right before they boarded the Music City Queen in Nashville for their prom!  They looked fabulous and I hope they had a great time at the prom!  Here are a few of my faves…

Wondering what to do with your Tax Rebate that Uncle Sam will be sending to you in the next couple of months?  How about having a family portrait session with Shauna Jared Photography ( http://www.shaunajaredphotography.com )?  Remember, your little ones don’t stay little forever so now is the time to capture the innocence of childhood before it is too late.  Portraits are a lasting testimony to what your life is about and will be cherished by future generations.  Let me help you preserve your memories for years to come with my Tax Rebate Special….In April and May only, you can book an on location session (for up to 4 people) with Shauna Jared Photography and receive:

• ALL of the images from your proof gallery (20-30 images) in black and white and color on CD 
• one 4×6 print of each image on the CD
• your choice of one 16 x 20 mounted wall portrait to display in your home    

I’ll also include a letter giving you permission to make as many prints as you want from your CD, in as many sizes as you want.  You’ll be able to make reprints at any lab at your convenience, email images to friends and family, post the images on your myspace or family website, use them for scrapbooking, and most importantly, you’ll have the images on CD for safekeeping in case your prints are ever damaged.  All of this for $399 + tax.  Plus, if you choose to add additional prints to your order, you’ll receive 20% off a la carte print prices.  Pay $75 today by credit card over the phone to hold your date and pay the remaining $324 + tax by the date of your session (by credit card or check).  CD and prints will not be delivered until payment in full has been made.  Initial $75 payment is non-refundable, but is transferable, depending upon availability of the photographer. 

Investing your Tax Rebate in beautiful portraits that you and your family will be able to enjoy for years to come is a wonderful way to use your Tax Rebate.  Call me today to book your session (615-430-5281); April and May will fill up quickly at this price!
