Mom you are going to have such a hard time. Just brace yourself now! lol

fall is here! October will mean one busy photographer!

So that mean I will have to hang on tight for the Christmas rush! Seriously I think for the month of October I have about 50 sessions so far. So say a prayer for me! Please!

Miss A I think likes me now. LOL Since I told her about the monkey in my camera she is coming around. Yippie! She is precious. We did have a wonderful time Saturday at her grandfathers for his birthday. Mom wanted some shots with him and the rest of the family. We really have a great session mom and dad. You are going to love them.

Thank you so much for inviting me and I hope you had a wonderful Birthday!!

Is that sunshine I see outside?

Wow! I love the fall sky! Isn't it beautiful! I tell you that the rain has really put me behind in working! It determines if I eat or not! LOL. Just kidding.

Miss A was a JOY to photograph. She has been her entire 7 months of life! Talk to you soon mom and dad!

Accepting New Babies For The Simplicity By Christy Baby Plan

At Simplicity By Christy we have an outstanding Baby Plan! You get one full year of the baby plan with Simplicity By Christy. It includes 4 sessions. Those sessions are newborn, 3-4 months of age, 6-7 months of age and 12 months. Each session is TOTALLY customized to YOU and what YOU like! You will also receive 10 free boutique birth announcements, a complimentary gift print from each session and the best thing of all......the $800 leather coffee table book with your choice of 40...that is right 40 5x7's from the year! So the baby plan has a value of $1750! The baby plan is $400! There is also a $200 min. order from each of your sessions which is so easy to hit with you and grandparents ordering. The Baby Plan is a wonderful way to document your child's first year of life! On your newborn session. I bring the studio to you! I fully believe that a newborn needs the comforts of home and the security that it brings along with mom and dad feeling comfortable at home. We use your nursery and whatever I find that will make an outstanding portrait! The love of family is what make an outstanding portrait in my opinion so parents and siblings will be included at no charge. The home session can be up to 4 hours. There is plenty of time to feed baby and comfort baby. No rush at all. There will be up to 70 images to choose from. Each session varies. Your next session is around 3-4 months. Your little one will have a personality like no other! That is exactly what we want to capture. I bring the studio back to your home. So nice that you don't have to get baby out. We use your home and nursery along with the studio to give your session a personal touch. This is a lifestyle session. We want to see the love and fun of your family had each day. This session will be around 2 hours but there is no time limit. We will stop to feed and comfort baby again if needed. At 6-7 months he should be sitting up well and this is when all the fun begins. You will have a full studio session at the Simplicity By Christy Studio's. This session is great! She will have so many smiles show a side of herself that I tell you that sometimes I just laugh out loud when they give me a certain look! These sessions are some of my favorites! Sessions usually last about 2 hours but there is NO time limit and no limit to changing clothes. If baby needs a nap we will stop the session and let baby take a nap. We want YOU to have the best session and the best portraits we can give you. At 1 year old you will be able to do an outdoor session! Your choice! Like I said totally customized to you. At this point is when you will get your album! Let me tell you time flies! I am amazed at how fast these babies grow. I love every second of too. They are all so special to me. These sessions are usually about 2 hours, but again no time limit and no limit to changing clothes. During the year there are perks to the Baby Plan. If there is a rate increase you will not incur that. I have Special Edition Sessions that have steep discounts and you are a part of that. For Birth Announcements and Christmas Cards you get discounts. Baby Planners get first choice of my calender. There are also little surprises along the way. The Baby Plan books usually 2 months in advance sometimes further out depending on the time of year. You need to call asap to get on the calender. Again The Baby Plan is $400 with a value if $1750! Call 256-658-4681 or info@simplicitybychristy.com for more info.

Is what Miss A is! She is a very happy baby! I had a great time with you all Friday. Here are a few to hold you over.

little blue eyes

She is just beautiful! I tried my new prop out on Miss MC. I have a different vision for this prop but Mooresville does not offer that vision! lol! I want open fields. Mooresville is very kept up. So I made it work the best I could. I really like the way this turned out. MC loved all the dogs in Mooresville. Mom and I had a real job on our hands getting her attention. :)










Saturday Lynn and I took the kids to Lake Winnie. If you have never been..you should. The park has been there for over 100 years. Very nostalgic. We all had a great time. I think we were there 8 hours or so. Needless to say I slept like a baby that night. LOL!!!

sweet newbie

Big Brother F was a great helper. Thank you "F"! You are my buddy. His beautiful sister was perfect for this session! Just look at how beautiful she is.

I have told you all how blessed I am. I love watching all of your little ones grow up on the baby plan and how much more blessed I am when you come to me with your second, third, and fourth child. I LOVE MY JOB! Thank you all for allowing me to do this.

{{my heart flutters}}

when I see this little man. He is precious. His mom was afraid he would not do too well this day, but wow he was WONDERFUL! He smiled and had such a good time in Mooresville. I did not expect any less. Thanks and I will talk to you all soon.
