CrossPointe Christian Academy Spring Cotillion participants can view your proofs here.  To order, please download and print the order form.  Mark your selections using each picture's proof number.  You must choose one image for your main package and then can order any additional image in any size/quantity.  In most cases, the 'middle' image will make the best package print because it emphasizes the dress/tux as well as facial details.

Please note that these proofs are not fully edited.  Ordered prints will be completely retouched.  If you have any special requests regarding your images, please add it to your order form.

Orders and payments are due to Ms. Ingram by FRIDAY, MAY 21st.  If you have any questions about your pictures or the ordering process, you may call me at 770-305-9013 or email me.  I will also be at the school library on Monday, May 17th at 3:00 to assist in ordering.

Thank you!  I hope you enjoy your pictures and I appreciate you sharing your lovely evening with me.

Here are a few peeks from Arlidge, Ahmed, Born, Lyons & Turnage sessions:

Thanks guys for finally making it happen--I'm so glad it did!

But she can, and she does it really well.  She made name paintings for both of my children's nurseries and recently made a painting from one of Avery's pictures.  Here are a few examples. 

 I love how personal everything is (notice how Avery's "e" is a camera?!  Perfect!).  Browse her gallery here.  Check it out and get in touch with her the next time you need a fabulous gift for someone special, or just something special for yourself!

And here is a shot of her biggest fan (i.e., her big brother) helping me make her smile.  He gets bigger smiles from her than anyone and is such a big help with her.

This is the ad that is going out to local high school papers soon, and I am SO excited about it!  Every year I offer a free senior session to a junior who would otherwise be unable to afford senior portraits.  This year I would like to book an entire weekend of sessions to several deserving students.  Times are tough--we're all feeling it.  But I think that senior portraits are such a great way to commemorate your accomplishments ...and get you pumped up and confident about the future ...and are fun to share ...and it is nice to be able to replace the brace-face picture from 7th grade that still hangs in the hallway...  You get the idea!  :)

So I'm sending out mailings to several area high schools and I need YOU to help spread the word also.  If you or someone you know just can't fork over the cash this year, but still is a great kid who deserves great pics, just shoot me an email through the link at the top of this page.  Tell me what the circumstances are and why you/they really want senior pictures.  I'll accept as many as I can and get in touch with you/them to set up the sessions. 

The scholarship sessions will include everything my standard $200 session includes:

• Location session with unlimited clothing/prop changes (location TBA)
• High-res, copyright-free CD with 15-20 fully edited images for you to share/print/copy, etc.
• 4x6 brag book including all of those same images
• 50 wallet-sized 'remember me' cards for sharing

Get those nominations coming--and don't forget to book a session for yourself too!  I'm already taking appointments for the Class of 2011 (and a few 2010ers who missed the memo...haha).  Don't miss out!

Recently had the pleasure of a session with my great friend Betony.  Bless her heart--she's been a bridesmaid and a baby-shower-thrower a million times, all the while waiting for her Mr. Right.  And now she's got him!!  I am SO excited for her and Brandon and can't wait to shoot their wedding in June. 

Congratulations to both of you!

Currently I am looking for:

--A high school female for an 'After Prom' session--must provide your own gown and be willing for it to possibly get a little dirty...meaning the dress, not the session.  :)  Must be available for photography in February.

--Senior Portrait Representatives...will receive a free senior session and personalized business cards in exchange for being an in-school representative (i.e., spreading the word) for Natalie Shivers Photography.  I will need at least one, possibly two, JUNIOR students (male or female) from the following high schools:  Stockbridge, Union Grove, Henry County, Eagle's Landing, Locust Grove, Woodland, Ola, Dutchtown, Luella, and Jackson.  Don't see your private school listed?  Email me for more information.  Must be available for photography in February / March.

--Locations, locations, locations--own (or have access to) a picture-perfect setting?  If you're willing to share it for use during a portrait session, you'll get your own session free!  Farms, fields, factories, hotels, gardens, antique homes...I'm always looking for new places to shoot. 

If you are interested in any of these opportunities, please send me a picture of yourself (or your location), your contact information, and which session you are interested in.  You can do this by becoming a fan of my facebook site and sending me a message with your picture (follow the facebook link on the navigation bar above), or by emailing me directly at shivers3@bellsouth.net.  You can also call 770-305-9598 for more information.

I am back in business after taking off some time with my new daughter.  I am excited to get started with 2010--I have lots of new ideas and some changes are coming soon, including studio sessions and print fulfillment.  More on those soon, as all the details are ironed out.

In the meantime, give me a call to schedule your sweetie's Valentine's portraits.  Or if you didn't get a chance to get that family picture done before Christmas, let's get that done soon. 

If you are a high school JUNIOR in the Henry/Butts County areas and would like to be considered for a Senior Portraits Spokemodel spot, call or email me soon.  Spokemodels receive a free session and cards!

Hope you are all enjoying a great start to the new year--see you soon!
