Stories of Joy Gift Cards are here!
So easy - follow this link, choose the amount, add your recipient’s name and email address, and send it off now, or choose a later date.
It’s a perfect gift for anyone ! If they’ve had a session with me, they can use their gift card toward prints and wall art, or it can be used toward a new session with me!
Mini Sessions start at $225 and I’ll schedule a day of them in January. I also have them around Easter, Mother’s Day and several of them in the fall.
*** THANKSGIVING SPECIAL ***
It is the season to be Thankful, and I truly am. I have had the privilege of serving so many wonderful families this year, and my business has been growing beyond my expectations. Sometimes I wonder if I need to limit the number of sessions I offer, but so far I have made it work with my wonderful support network.
One way to show my gratefulness is to offer a complimentary session every now and then. I have to say these sessions have been so meaningful to me, and I feel like I have received more than I have given.
Another way is to show my thankfulness is to make sure to offer something special during Thanksgiving. There’s Black Friday, Small Business Saturday and Cyber Monday. This year I have three specials to offer: for this year’s clients I’d like to offer 30% off regular price high resolution digital files, prints and products (not applicable to school pictures). I will be activating a code in my galleries that will be good for one week, so look for an email in your inbox!
For any Photography Session booked this week you will receive 30% off regular price high resolution digital files, prints and products*! Your session fee needs to be paid this week, but your session can be scheduled for up to six months from the day you reserve it.
And lastly, if you buy a Gift Card to give away, each gift card recipient will be gifted 1-10 complimentary high digital resolution files (depending on the length your session)! Photo Session Gift Cards start at $125 for a Mini Session (offer three or four times a year - next one will be either Valentine’s Day or Easter Farm Animal Mini Sessions), and can be purchased for Day in the Life Sessions as well! I can’t think of a better gift to give, than a gift of family photos.
Let me know if you have questions and if you’re ready to book your session! Happy Thanksgiving!

*** Two Thanksgiving Specials ****
I am going to jump ahead and post part one of my Thanksgiving Special: All January and February Day in the Life Sessions are 30% off!
I will come and spend the day with your family, and make a photo documentary of what this season of life is like right now. I will help you preserve this time in your family’s life in a meaningful collection of professional and artistic images for you to keep forever. And this is not just for you - it is for your children and for their children. It is almost like a time capsule. You can read more about Day in the Life Sessions here.
This is what one of my Day in the Life families wrote:
"My session with Stories of Joy Photography changed the way I saw my job as a mom. When you get to peek at your day from behind the lens, it can kind of take your breath away. These days with my five kids are traveling by at breakneck speed. I loved having Sennu snap photos of what I had considered to be everyday moments. But after seeing the moments from her vantage point, I see them as surreal moments. Special moments. Once in a lifetime moments. I highly recommend this session. A day in each of our lives is truly a gift."
And another:
"My family didn’t want Sennu to leave. She was instantly like family. I have watched the video from our day in the life session more times than I can count and the book she made from our photos is one of my most valuable possessions. The kids still talk about the day Sennu came.
Most importantly, if we hadn’t done it...I wouldn’t even remember that day. I can’t tell you a single thing we did on January 6th or 8th 2017. But I can tell you just about everything we did January 7, 2017...because we documented it. 💗 Otherwise it would just be another forgotten day. The memories the pictures give us are priceless.
My only regret is not having met Sennu earlier so I could have done it sooner."
Please let me know if you'd like to take advantage of this 30% off special!
My second offer is to expectant mommies and families. I'm offering 50% off of three Birth Story Sessions in 2018. Message me to find out if you can be one of these families (families will be chosen based on the due dates, and the order of inquiries).
This is what Baby R's mommy wrote about her Birth Story Session:
"Sennu is absolutely fantastic! She photographed our birth story and I was completely blown away by it. It brought tears to my eyes seeing all the wonderful moments she captured between my significant other and I bringing our baby into this world. She was so respectful, and attentive. I am so happy I had her there to capture those special moments. I will definitely be using her again in the future to photograph our family!"
Please contact me for details and pricing.
And spouses and grandparents - these sessions make the most meaningful gifts! For your children and grandchildren, and for you. My packages all have an option to include a professionally printed photo book made by me (like this one).
Please contact me for details!
