Spring has sprung and crafting is in the air! I am so excited about this years 2nd Annual Detroit Arts Fest and Little Motor City Auto Show! There will be several of the same vendors from last year as well as some new and exciting vendors. A big THANKS to Jessica Dougherty and to FunkyFinds.com for all of the help! With their help this year is sure to be a huge success! This year we have also joined forces with the Little Motor City Auto Show. This is a very well established car show that is a big hit year after year.
Along with arts and crafts booths there will also be live entertainment and later that night a fish fry! More details to come so stay tuned! You may also find more details by checking out Detroit Arts Fest website.

Isn’t she absolutely PERFECT!!! This is the sweet baby “K”. She was the most beautiful little thing ever! She is gonna be a little knockout I am afraid! Congrats to my girly “R” you won the baby lotto!

I am finally trying to get caught up blogging! So I have to share these. We had an impromptu session with miss O and we had a blast! She loved the snow and wanted to eat it all! It was beautiful, but I have to say I am anxiously awaiting spring, and better yet summer!

It’s that time! Only a few short weeks left!
Special is for sessions booked for the month of March, 2010 only. Cannot be combined with any other offer. Special good for one weather reschedule. Filpping book is 4×6 prints bound into an album.

This is the lovely “H”. She is one of my senior reps, and am I lucky or what! She is absolutely gorgeous and as sweet as they come. I had a blast working with her!

You know someone. You know someone who’s experienced a tragedy, is struggling to stay afloat, is raising kids while holding down more than one job, or is volunteering selflessly despite extenuating personal circumstances. You know someone who can’t afford custom photography, but who would cherish it this holiday season. You know someone who deserves a year-round reminder of their family’s spirit, love, and beauty.

You know someone. I guarantee it.

I want to know who they are, and I want to give them the chance to experience complimentary custom photography — $650.00 worth, to be exact. It’s in your power to give them the artwork they deserve this holiday season.

Oh, and the best part? The person who nominates the winner receives a $150.00 session fee credit. What better reason to show some love could there possibly be, people?

The rules:

* You cannot nominate yourself, and the person nominated must sincerely be incapable of purchasing my services. (Being unable to make mortgage payments for a two-million-dollar-vacation-home in Paris does not qualify as sincere financial need.)

* The nominee must reside in Texas. Tell me who you know, what they’re experiencing, and why they deserve my artwork. Please include a way to contact both your nominee and yourself as well.

* You must e-mail me the full story : newsomsphotography@gmail.com. Deadline for entries is December 14, 2009.

* Winner receives one paid portrait session and a predetermined print package. For questions, shoot me an email!

The winner will be announced on December 21, 2009 — get nominating! I can’t wait to read all of your entries!

Open your heart to someone this holiday season — and thanks for giving me the opportunity to open mine.

With love,
Melanie

Giving Is Awesome

Love this girl! Isn’t she absolutely stunning! This is one of my class of 2010 gals who I already adored even before I knew just how photogenic she was. We had a blast shooting these, and even got a little attention in downtown! Watch for more of her, we are going to do one more location with her when the weather cooperates. I can’t wait – Enjoy your peek “K”!

I just loved spending the afternoon with this family! They were so much fun and full of life – as you can see! Thanks guys for letting me share in your lives! Enjoy your peek!

I am LOVING this sunflare!
