The "WE" Sessions- Limited Holiday Portrait Sessions

Mon, 10 Nov 2008 12:39:42 -0800

For the first time ever, we are opening up 25 slots for family portraits during the upcoming holiday season. Between now and the beginning of December, we will be scheduling weekday sessions for you and your family. The sessions will consist of 45 minutes of documentary photography aimed at capturing your family's personality (full of laughs, giggles, smiles, and sneers). After the session, you'll receive 25 Christmas cards customly designed using portraits from the session. You will also receive a hi res disc of the images.

Availability will be limited to 25 sessions at $250 each. Cards will be received within one week of design approval, so book soon in order to ensure plenty of time for mailing. If interested, please e-mail mark@markeric.net.

We'll be posting a few more samples over the next few days. Happy Holidays!

Well, we are finally in our new house, yay! We decided to pretty much start from scratch with our furniture, so we are sitting on the floor for the most part while waiting on the new furniture to arrive. My office has some lovely paper shades in place until the window treatments are finished, while the living room windows are bare- showing our lives to the construction crew behind us who are working on another home. Some family members helped us sod the yard, which was a very interesting project. Even though we ordered an entire truck load (as in 18 wheeler truck load), we have a nice bare spot in the backyard big enough to put 5 swing sets on. I'm sure Merrik would love that- for now, she is having fun creating lovely mud castles. Speaking of Merrik, she is the proud owner of the only two completed rooms in the house (her bedroom and her playroom)- we'll have to post pics of the amazing job Heather did with the design soon. Ladybugs, poke-a-dots, and pink- oh my.

If you've been trying to contact us via the phone number on the website (318-641-1008), you may have experienced a message stating the number has been disconnected. The number was transfered the number to our new address, but we're waiting on Bellsouth to release it to Sudden Link (the cable company)- which they assure me will be done ASAP. So, e-mail may be the best way to reach us now, until the number is re-established at our new address. (mark@markeric.net).

We'll post a few more pics soon- but for now, enjoy the loveley mailbox that I installed myself. I feel so manly. Those who know me know that I am not Mr. Handyman- but I only had to drill 8 holes in the concrete to install the mailbox- (which only needs 4 bolts). I'm so proud of myself.

Wake up and vote!

While in New Orleans with some friends recently, we pulled a 2:00 am prank on our friend Jason Domingues. Heather Z snapped these pics of me and John Michael Cooper waking up Jason while wearing masks of the presidential canditates. He was a bit confused and surprised to see the rivals standing over his bed as he woke up.

Thanks to the fabulous Heather Z for allowing me to steal the images from her blog :).

Ashley and Nathan are married! New Orleans

Tue, 28 Oct 2008 00:12:46 -0700

Nathan not only fell in love with Ashley, he also fell in love with New Orleans during his work with the Coast Guard after Katrina. Ashley and Nathan traveled to NOLA from Boston for their beautiful wedding. Congratulations you two! (And thank you for helping restore our beloved city).

Be sure to watch the video of the cute kid at the end, he was hillarious. Special thanks to Taylor Smith (www.taylorsmithphotography.com) for helping out at the wedding!

Just a quick shot from Skip and Kimberly's mini-engagement session, I'll post more soon!

We're back!

Wed, 03 Sep 2008 22:34:49 -0700

Well, we made it, along with the hard drives :). (Even if they didn't, we do keep backups). We've enjoyed the "quite family time" over the past few days- but were thrilled to get power back today. We still don't have cable, and I must admit that I don't miss it. (That will probably change when a football game comes on).

Look for Karen's wedding and Kim and Skip's Tennis adventure over the next few days. Until then, enjoy some highlights from Gustava. Pardon Geraldo, he has a hard time sensationalizing without expletives. :)

Gustav

Sun, 31 Aug 2008 16:14:13 -0700

We are praying for the safety of all our friends and clients in the path of Hurricane Gustav. Naturally, we will be unavailable the next few days as we seek shelter. We've packed up all of our hard drives and files to ensure that no info is lost.

Stay safe, we'll check in after the storm.

God Bless.

Mark
