Spring Wedding

I was fortunate enough to be able to tag along on this gorgeous morning for a wedding. They were just a fun couple - totally natural in front of the camera! Elsie called and asked if I'd assist her, and I was so excited! I LOVE her work! I'm really looking forward to tagging along on a few more weddings through the summer.

This was her grandpa - he owns a few classic old cars (Rolls Royces, Mercedez, etc). He brought one of his Rolls to the temple to pick them up. It was so fun!






Thank you, Elsie for letting me tag along. I really learned alot and had a great time getting to know you better!

One Year Old Sweetness!

YUM! I love little O's eyes - and happy little grin!
Happy One Year Birthday buddy!

Spring Special

Okay - we've had PLENTY of winter - I'm done! Let's think spring and it will come (I hope).

To urge Mother Nature in our favor, let's have a spring special...

I am going to offer you CASH! Come on - in these economic times, who couldn't use some extra 'green' in their pocket to put a little 'spring' in their step. So here's the deal...

You schedule a session. We set a date and I come and take pictures. I then give you the pictures on a disc. You tell a friend. Your friend schedules a session. I set a date with them and take their pictures. YOU get $20 - cash.

Your other friend mentions she would really like some new spring pictures of her kids. You tell her to call/email me. I set a date with her. I take the pictures. YOU get ANOTHER $20 - cash. Are you liking this? There is no limit to how much cash you can get - just keep telling your friends and when they call me and we finish our session - I plop down some money for you. All your friend has to do is mention that you sent them.

The only catch - this won't last long...May 10th is it!
So, if your friend calls me on May 9th and we have a photo session on May 24th, then YES you will still get the money (after the session has taken place)- but they have to call BEFORE May 10th.

Let me know if you have any questions - now go out, spread the word and make some MONEY, HONEY!!

PS: Spread the word on your blog, or on facebook/myspace - just make sure they tell me it was YOU who sent them. Use this image if you want...

(right click the image and click 'Save As' or 'Save Image As' - save to desktop -or where ever you want. Create a new post in your blog and add this picture - once added, click on the picture and on your tool bar click on the world with the little link. It will ask you to enter a URL - just enter either this blog address, or www.celestegrover.com - simple as pie!)

New Puppy

Oh, tell me...who can honestly resist a new puppy?!

Not me -







My sister-in-law just got a new pup and he's ADORABLE - a feisty little guy full of spunk. OOOOH - I wish he wasn't going to NYC to be with his momma. :(

B Family

Had a BLAST shooting this family over the weekend! Gorgeous day, gorgeous location, gorgeous people...what more could you ask for?

New Logo?

Okay, so I'm not in love with my current my logo...what do you think of this one?

New Year!

I love fresh starts and new beginnings! I'm glad to welcome another year and hope it's one full of love and happiness for you!

With the new year, I am going to have some new pricing. I did a survey/poll and found that most of you would rather pay a higher fee and get the disc rather than a lower fee and pay for prints. So, I'm going to offer you what you want! $100 gets you the sitting AND the disc! The best of both, eh?

BUT...to ring in 2009, I am going to offer you 20.09% off for the month of January. Making your grand total $79.91! So, if you want some cute pictures in the snow, or in your home, or at a different location now's the time to book it!

Here's to a great new year full of change, hope, love, and peace (i hope!)...From my family - To Yours!

A Long Time Friend

I got to shoot a friend of mine from high school and his adorable family. His wife's sister and her family also came along - we had a great time! Thanks so much guys!

A Jolly Good Time

K - so my friends dad is Santa -- no lie! The guy has a real beard, and the best HO HO HO i've ever heard - even in his street clothes he gets the "santa' comment ALL THE TIME! I got to snap some shots of him and his grandkids (i snuck a few shots of my kids too...he he he he)



If you are ever in the need for a Santa, he's your guy! He's amazing!!

Beautiful Girls

Okay, really...? These girls are so dang cute - even if one of them was sorta grumpy. I had fun, even in the cold and wind.

Group Shot

Cute girls! I had the chance to shoot this fun Jr. High Spirit/Cheer team - They are all super cute and fun!

Change in the Air?

Lots of things are changing in our country...new president, new members of congress, new school board members, you get the idea...

Well, with all this change, I am considering a change in price for Studio C...I wanna know what you think -

I was thinking about increasing my sitting fee from $60 to $100 and including the CD of images in that price rather than charge an additional $40 for the low-resolution (up to 4x6 prints) disc. The CD would have all images in a higher resolution (up to 8x10). Any larger prints would need to be ordered through me so I could guarantee their quality. The prices on the larger prints will be VERY reasonable (if you wanna see prices of everything as it stands now, scroll down a little bit and on the right you'll see pricing).

SO....do me a favor and vote in the poll to the right >>>>>
You're the best! Thanks!
Celeste

ooooh - PS - if you leave a comment below, you will be entered into a drawing to get 50% off your session (based on the new pricing, that would only be $50 for the sitting and CD, or if you want the current pricing, the sitting would only be $30 - but wouldn't include the CD) - so leave a comment! Thanks a million!

Update

It's been a while - so here's a few updates for you -
First, is the J family - this is Ron's aunt and uncle - we always have a blast with them when we get together so we did some fun poses.




Then there was this beautiful family - Honestly, GORGEOUS! Their oldest daughter was hilarious! She was posing for me and I said "Oh, girl - you are gorgeous, these are going to be so cute!" and she said "Well, I've been doing this for 8 years!" I was busting up! (it was her 8th birthday the day we took these).


I also did my BFF and her little family -- talk about fun, and cute, and perfect day! We had fun and ADORE her little baby -- I can't wait to see the baby on the way....

Fall is LOVELY!

And so is this cute family!!! Had a great time tonight -- thanks guys!
