Update on storage of images…

March 3, 2008 – 2:42 pm

Hi!
I’m currently in the process of changing my storage system for digital files from past photography sessions. As many of you likely know, digital jpg’s, digital “RAW format” files and photoshop files all take up enormous quantities of space and even after purchasing several back up external hard-drives and burning images to DVD’s, I’m running out of both sufficient room for files and time to keep trying to store them indefinitely.
Because of this, I will be deleting many of the unordered files from sessions that took place prior to 2008. If any of my clients would like to place an order from any prior session, I’d appreciate if you could do so within the next 1-2 weeks. I will continue (as shown on my website posted policies in “about your session”) to store ordered images for a minimum of 90 days, should you need to re-order. If you need your online gallery re-activated or reposted, or have any further questions, feel free to email or call if I can be of any help.
Thank you so much!
Mary Hanson

being green…

January 8, 2008 – 8:53 am

I read yesterday in the Star Tribune about the huge waste we are creating by drinking bottled water. I stopped drinking bottled water several years ago, mostly because I’m notoriously cheap about weird things, but also after I read it was usually less “clean” than tap water. This Camelbak water bottle is the best water bottle I have ever found, and I’ve tried at least a half dozen over the years. This one has a straw that doesn’t leak or spill, nearly unbreakable, the plastic doesn’t leach into the water and it doesn’t get a bad smell.

You can get it here at REI.

Also, if you are interested in some small steps you can take to make a real difference in the environment, the climate, and your budget, this site has a tip a day for a month about living “green”.

Hope you all had a Restful Holiday Season!

December 30, 2007 – 12:21 pm

Just a quick post to wish all my friends, clients and family members a Happy New Year! I’m hoping you got a chance to unwind, relax, and enjoy those you love, much like my two kitties are doing here along with my daughters favorite dolly:

I am now taking appointments for the remaining open dates in January and February. If you would like to schedule, drop me an email here and let me know your preferred days of the week and times of day, and I’ll get back to you as soon as possible. Also, as I turned away over 15 people who wanted appointments in November & December once my schedule was booked, I want to remind everyone that you can make appointments in advance to secure a spot for your session. So many people don’t even begin to think about holiday cards until late November and early December, and then call me and find I’m all booked up. You can schedule a spring or summer session *now* and we can use those images for holiday cards next year! Just something to keep in mind.

Happy Holidays!

Mary

Another lovely family…

October 17, 2007 – 9:20 pm

I love families like this… that just are so natural and comfortable together that they almost forget I’m there. I hope it was fun for them too…

This little girl is as sweet a soul on the inside as she is beautiful on the outside~

Make sure you click on this storyboard to see it larger… I love how little ones trust-

One of the few fall sessions that actually had nice color this year, nice scouting job to K~!

And last but not least, their fun and adorable younger daughter!
Enjoy the sneak peek, and I will have your gallery up as soon as I can!
Thanks

Deadline date for Holiday Cards and Orders…

October 16, 2007 – 8:55 am

I’m a couple days late posting this, but I have a sick little one, so please accept my apologies!
For print orders to be guaranteed delivery by December 17th (last day for deliveries before the holidays) you must place your order by Saturday November 17th, 2007. Orders placed after November 17th will not be guaranteed within my normal time limits and will be submitted to my lab after the holidays.
The last day to order Holiday cards will be Saturday November 17th. This will guarantee delivery of your cards by December 10th, so you will have time to address and mail the cards. I will not take orders for cards after 11/17, so start planning now if you want to order cards.
Thanks!

Baby Jack walking and talking!

October 9, 2007 – 2:57 pm

Many people comment on how adorable Baby Jack is, the baby who was in my blog header. (he is the baby on the couch, see above)
Well, he is much bigger now, and even cuter~as you can see. It is so much fun to see kids grow, and see how they “turn out” after time passes. I really do have the best job in the world!

four adorable kids

October 5, 2007 – 5:17 pm

I love repeat clients. I love seeing how the kids have changed since the last time I saw them, its so great to see them growing up and going off to school. These four I first photographed several years ago before #4 had even arrived, and now look how big he is getting! It was wonderful to see you all again!

Beautiful newborn girl…

October 1, 2007 – 7:42 pm

This little sweetheart was so wonderful for our session! She was only five days old, and is one of the bigger babies I’ve been lucky enough to meet. She was 11 pounds and 2 ounces at birth, and really surprised the nurses when she arrived. Everyone thought little Addie would be big, but not this big! Her lovely parents are my neighbors, and this is their first baby, and she is so loved already. Thanks J&T for letting me photograph her, here is a sneak peek and I’ll have the rest as soon as possible! Congratulations!

busy busy busy

September 29, 2007 – 7:35 pm

Busy. That pretty much sums up my fall so far.
I have been very neglectful of putting “sneak peeks” and showing some shots from recent sessions. I’ve even had parents ask me why their kid didn’t “make the blog!!”
Please accept my apologies, and know its not that your kids are not adorable, I’m just too busy!! So, here are a few shots from the past several weeks. Not from all my sessions, but from a few I still have fresh on my hard-drive.
Enjoy!
Mary
