Lala's Littles - Baby Portraits in Boise

This is a great way to remember your little one as they grow! I often hear "Our baby has grown so much since their newborn portraits! What kind of deals do you have?"

Popular Milestones are 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, and 1 year old or every 2 months. Everyone I've talked to has expressed an interest in having prints and digital images - but did not want to be "stuck" in a contract.

$179 per session (Babies between 2-24 months old only - with Siblings or family portraits okay if needed - but the session is about BABY!) This special is not for newborn portraits!

30 minute session (in my studio or on-location in Boise)
5 8x10 Digital images on CD with Print Release (you can print as many as you like, forever!)
1 8x10 or 11x14 (unmounted) Portrait
5 5x7's or 4x6s (same images as your CD)
8 Wallets

OR Do the Lala's Littles Ducky Plan and get up to TWO YEARS of sessions! You choose when your baby is ready.

$895 includes SIX Little's Sessions to be used between 2-24 months old. AND a 10x10 20 page Hardcover Album including poses from each session.

Mommy Mondays!

This is something new we are going to try out for 2010. We love meeting Mommy's (and Daddy's) to be - maternity portaits are a special private time for the new parents to connect and concentrate on THEM before baby makes Three (or more!)

Every Monday we will post a challege or just a call for comments here and on our Facebook Page for New Clients that are expecting. One New Client will win a Free Maternity Portrait Session and digital image package each Monday.

Challenges could just be telling a few expecting friends about Mommy Mondays, or maybe a silly belly photo (cell phones work great for this!).

Since this is the First Mommy Monday, you will have up until Monday Jan 25th to comment on this post (or look for the Mommy Monday post on the Facebook page and comment there). I will randomly pick 1 winner and contact you.

and please, read the rules!
