Okay. So you know that part in the movie Mean Girls where they are all in the gym and they confess their secrets and do a trust fall? It’s very girl powery and the crowd of high school junior girls catches each other girl as she does a trust fall off of the stage. {Well except for that one that just confesses that she’s popular.} That’s kind of what this year’s Christmas card sessions are going to be like.
Follow me here.
It’s a bit of a trust fall. I don’t have a sample photo ready to show you–like in years past. There’s no cute, quirky photo of me in funky winter clothes or Derek and me wrapped in lights. You just have to trust me. But I give you a pinky promise that I won’t let you fall onto a hard gym floor. I’ll catch you and your images will be awesome. Here’s what I’ve got in mind.
A vintage car. Decked out in holiday gear. Packed with oversized, colorfully wrapped gift boxes. The retro sled. A Christmas tree. Here’s the inspiration I’m working with. {You can go to the original source by clicking the images.}
Now. You might be wondering if I can really pull this off. The answer, of course…is yes. While working on the Monster Mash {another giant pull off} I got a contact number for a local vintage car collector. Yesterday, he toured me around his stash which included about 30 restored vehicles. Everything from 20’s trucks to 50’s Studebakers to 70’s Pacers. I was shocked–and giddy.
I finally narrowed down the selection and here’s what we’ll be working with. First of all–a vintage fire truck, housed by the Ward County Historical Museum. I’ll fill the back with boxes and bedazzle it with holiday cheer. Like I said–you need to trust me here. These phone photos don’t do it justice.
Second….we’ll have one of these snazzy cars. I’m really torn and just can’t decide between the precious Studebaker Cruiser {minty green in the top left spot}–or the 1949 Hudson {in the bottom two images.} If you’ve got an opinion shout it out!
Here’s a better idea of what these cute cars look like when they aren’t in a garage or taken on a shaky phone.
Yes. You read all that correctly. You’ll have a choice of 2–count ’em TWO vintage car sets. The red fire truck–and either the black or mint car. Now that you know what I’m thinking…let’s get to the nitty gritty.
I’m crossing my fingers that I’ll be able to do a test shoot over Thanksgiving weekend. It’ll be a dry run so everything is perfect for you the following weekend. Stay tuned to see those images.
Mini sessions are just $50. You get a 15-20 minute sessions and 5 images. Your images will be delivered digitally and you’ll have the printing rights to them. Times open run from 11am-4pm on December 5th and 12-4 on December 6th. I’m limiting availability to 20 sessions. Your family can choose one of the two sets–or you can book two sessions to use both. Sessions will be outdoors {it’s an El Nino year!}–so keep your fingers crossed for good weather. If the weather is just plain poopy–we’ll reschedule. Sessions will happen at the Ward County Historical Museum–on the grounds of the ND State Fair. Your photos will be back to you by December 9th.
Make sense? Have questions? Wanna book? Get in touch. Send me a Facebook message. Or call me {574-361-7268}. And just for good measure–let’s remember how adorable the last two years’ images have been.
