Book your newborn session from now until April 1st, and you will receive a 3 x 3 mini “brag book” (perfect for Mom’s purse) on top of the complimentary announcements you will already receive. The albums are specifically created for newborn sessions! You do NOT have to deliver by April 1st. but your session will need to be booked and paid for by April 1st. We can schedule your session around the time of your due date. I do not have my calendar online for too many months out at a time, but you can book your session, and you WILL get priority calls/emails before the calendar is published online to schedule your newborn session. Call now!

Here’s a quick peak for Mom. I have to show you what a difference a year makes. Not only that, but you can also see how different the lighting is this day compared to last year’s session. That’s a neat thing for an artist to see. Then again, as a Mom or Dad, all I would really see is that your baby has grown up. Look at her hair. Look at how much she’s grown in just one year. It amazes me because I don’t even realize it until I saw her because it wasn’t long ago that we had a session with her and twin cousins. Wow, time flies!

Enjoy. This session is in “Fayetteville”, but honestly, I think it should be another name. Why? Well, not because it’s farther away, but because it seems like a different world – a peaceful, beautiful and quiet world for a three year old to be raised in. She has a HUGE yard, serenity (although she probably doesn’t care about that), Grandparents across the street (i.e the TALL tree swing!), and then Uncles and Aunts right next door (although it’s a distance to walk). I just think it’s how I’ve always wanted to raise my boys. Maybe I’m a little jealous of the “country” out there. =)

Thank you Meredith for having me yet again!!

Here she is in 2007. She’s two.

And, here she is in 2008 and a whooping three years old!

I”m glad they let me open their front door again and shoot her in the same spot from inside the door (I was on her porch). Sigh…the changes….

Love it in black and white, too, I think.

And let’s finish by having SOME FUN at Grandma’s house!

I’ll see you more next time!

Although, really, I’m only showing their little man because he’s just the cutest thing ever! He literally cannot take a bad picture even if he wanted to. Love him! Tomorrow is the day! It will be finished tomorrow. I will share a few great family shots AFTER you have seen your gallery. I can’t give everything away too soon.

HI everyone.

I made a small Christmas gift for all my 2008 clients that have finally arrived. Whew, I had been waiting since the beginning of this month. So yes, I’m late, and I do apologize. Just consider them a “Happy New Year” sort of gift as well as the main focus being “thank you for having me as your Photographer!” gift. I thank you all so very much, and they will be going out in the mail slowly but surely. They will not all be mailed on the same day, so if your neighbor receives one before you – have no fear, you will receive one too!

ONE gift is just for you, and two other gifts are yours with one to share. The extra is for new clients of Sherri Winstead Photography only. You’ll see when you get yours in the mail. I cannot give anything more away.

Thank you again – back to proofing, stuffing gifts, proofing, stuffing gifts, run to landfill (too many packaging boxes now), proofing, stuffing gifts.

You get the idea! =)

ETA: BTW, being the not-always-perfect-as-who-is-in-this-world kind of person, IF I forgot your somehow (which would be by complete accident), please don’t hesitate to let me know! I will have yours done and mailed to you without a problem in the world. Please….contact me if you do not receive one by the end of February.

This was taken this past April when we were all together to hold each other up for our Grams’ (also best known for being our “other” mother) funeral. Most of you know the story, so we aren’t going down that hard road again, but…

I had to share my lovely family with you all!

Sheila (sister), Sherri (umm..me), Mama (Vicky), and Bubba (brother and also named Mike). April 2008

I haven’t taken the time to show you all before and afters of my clients who participate in my First Year Plan. This gorgeous little girl has “graduated” from the plan, but of course, I hope to see and photograph her again one day. =)

Here she is as a newborn, 6 months and one year old! It is amazing to me how much she changed from each session to the next. I really had no idea how much she grew from 6 months to one year; it’s so incredible to watch and be a part of that!

Just look at the images of her at 6 months on a backdrop and 1 year on a backdrop. Wow – amazing difference! Always was and will be a pretty, pretty little girl!

And now look at her!

And another thing was that she was talking quite well at her one year session. I remember being very surprised and excited about it, too!

Isn’t she sweet!!?? I miss her already.

Until next time!
