I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season! We certainly did. We spent the week of Christmas in Sun Valley with my husband's family. It was great fun! We played games, went bowling, ice skating, snowboarding and skiing, and relaxed. We also got to see what 27 inches of snow looks like ... it looks like a LOT of snow! After we got home we spent the rest of our vacation just relaxing and watching movies. It was so nice to really relax. But, now it's back to work and school.

Office hours are changing for 2009 and are as follows:
Monday - Friday from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM and by appointment only.

Winter sessions are scheduled for Sundays. Newborn sessions are held on weekdays. Other days may be available upon request. There is an additional $100 fee for Saturday sessions and sessions during holiday weeks/weekends.

I have a bunch of new products and new ideas for 2009 and I am excited to share them will all of my wonderful clients!

Happy 2009!!

And just because I don't want to post without photos here are the images I used of my kids on our Christmas card.


Enjoy!

Thank you for the entries I received for the Season of Giving Holiday Giveaway. I wanted to let everyone know that a recipient has been chosen. I will post the recipient's story once I have contacted them and received permission to post their story.

You know someone. You know someone who's experienced a tragedy, is struggling to stay afloat, is raising kids while holding down more than one job, or is volunteering selflessly despite extenuating personal circumstances. You know someone who can't afford custom photography, but who would cherish it this holiday season. You know someone who deserves a year-round reminder of their family's spirit, love, and beauty.

You know someone. I guarantee it.

I want to know who they are, and I want to give them the chance to experience complimentary custom photography - $1500 worth, to be exact. Whether it's canvas or albums, prints for Grandma, or a slideshow to watch over and over...it's in your power to give them the artwork they deserve this holiday season.

Oh, and the best part? The person who nominates the winner receives a $500 print credit. What better reason to show some love could there possibly be, people?

The rules:
You cannot nominate yourself, and the person nominated must sincerely be incapable of purchasing my services. (Being unable to make mortgage payments for a two-million-dollar vacation home does not qualify as sincere financial need.)

The nominee must reside in Idaho. Tell me who you know, what they're experiencing, and why they deserve my artwork. Please include a way to contact both your nominee and yourself as well.

Comment on this blog entry to let me know you've entered, and e-mail me the full story: info@tiffanyhixphotography.com.


The gift recipient will be notified and announced on Monday, 12/29/08 ...get nominating! I can't wait to read all of your entries!

Open your heart to someone this holiday season - and thanks for giving me the opportunity to open mine.

If you are not in Idaho but would like to nominate someone there are other photographers participating in this event. A list of photographers follows and will be updated as more join in!

Thank you to all of my wonderful clients of 2008!

I got to hold your babies, play with your children, make you do silly things and laugh as loud as possible ... I even got to cry at your weddings.

It was truly a pleasure getting to know all of you ...

I am glad to have been a part of creating your family's memories!!

This slideshow includes images from every session that I photographed in 2008. Some of them will be familiar from sneak peeks posted throughout the year but others are images only my clients saw. I hope you all enjoy the slideshow!

If you would like to view the slideshow larger and hear the music that accompanies it you may view it here!




Enjoy!

I hope you all have a safe and happy holiday season. I am looking forward to having the remainder of the year to rest and relax with my family ... and maybe see if I can still remember how to snowboard.

The office will be closed from 12/16/08 - 1/4/09. All calls and emails will be answered when I return.

Here is a quick sneak peek of Miss "A" ... she wasn't quite up for being photographed on Saturday but I did manage to get these cute images and I'll get even more when we try again. Isn't she adorable?! You can hardly tell she didn't want to be photographed so I know when I photograph her again on a happy day she will be even cuter!! I love the Christmasy look these have and those red and white striped Baby Legs are so fun!




Enjoy!

Yay! I got to photograph this lovely family for the second time this year ... and mom is my hair stylist! I love it when I get to see the kids grow up through my lens. And, we had a really fun session Downtown that ended up in a coffee shop with a big mug of hot chocolate with lots of whipped cream and cookies. The kids loved it and they did so good even though it was pretty chilly outside.

Ready for the fun?!




Don't forget that Michelle does amazing work with hair so if you need a new stylist look her up at Bliss!

Enjoy!
claney - Tiffany, more excellent photos. I love when you use the alleys of Boise as part of your back drop. Well done! December 5, 2008
Shannon S - What a fun session -- oh to still be this warm here! December 7, 2008

Before Thanksgiving I got to spend some time photographing these 2 little cuties! Miss "B" was all about being in front of the camera and hamming it up for me ... but Mr "G" wasn't too sure about the crazy lady with the big camera the whole time. I love the image of the 2 of them sitting on the bridge ... their facial expressions crack me up! Thanks for braving the cold with me!

Oh, and we can't forget to leave out that very fitting last image ... "the end"




Enjoy!
Shannon - Love that last image -- I feel like that some days! December 7, 2008
