Handmade Wooden Duck Calls

January 31, 2010

My husband is pretty handy. He loves trying out new hobbies. One of his latest is turning wooden duck calls. He likes trying new woods, colors, textures. They come out very pretty - and I’m not a duck call connoisseur. There will be more items added to this shop soon, so check back often to see what he’s up to next.

Miss L., Miss A. and I had a blast this morning on the beach. Aren’t they just beautiful? I even made mom sneak in for one or two!!

Even with all the sand, beach sessions are always so much fun!

Well, you know what they say about a good laid plan….If you are a fan of my Facebook page, you probably saw the contest I was running to win a free session. Unfortunately, the day before I was to select the winner, Facebook disabled my account. The reason, I am not sure …. I did contact them and received a notice that my activity looked like I “MAY be misusing the site”.  Kinda sounds like they don’t know really either - but they did enable my account again.

I’m sorry if you’ve been waiting to find out if you’re the lucky winner…I will post the information here as well as on Facebook as soon as I am able.

I hope everyone has an enjoyable week!

If you still want to follow what I’m up to - you can follow me on Twitter too!

Beach Art

(click on image for larger view)

Or just being down at the coast? I will be down in Carteret County the weekend of August 8th and 9th. This is the weekend of the Beaufort Pyrate Invasion . (ARRRGHHH) If you’ve thought of getting beach portraits done, and you’re going to be down there enjoying the festivities, this might be the perfect opportunity to get them done.

Portraits do not have to be on the beach– maybe you’d like to do them on the Beaufort or Morehead Waterfront, Fort Macon, or even at your beach/soundfront home!

If you are interested in scheduling a session for that weekend, call me soon as time slots are limited!

The usual travel fee ($100) included on beach sessions will be waived this weekend! Also, if you’d like a Beach Art Print (as pictured on the right) you can select up to 3 of your favorite images to be included in a Beach Art collage or print. Regular $75 in addtion to print size price…Special for Pyrate Invasion Weekend $50.

First a beautiful family came in to have the latest edition’s portraits done. Isn’t he just a sweet angel!   Then a brother and sister visited to get a few updated portraits. While little brother gave me a little workout…I was still able to catch that beautiful smile.
