Custom Designed Cards by BluOrchid Photography ~ Marion Baby Photographer

Here is one of my latest creations.....a beautifully, hand-crafted Thank You card from some portraits we took at a newborn session. Our Bebe Collection Members receive special offers on all cards (Birth Announcements, Thank You cards, and Holiday cards). I just love how colorful and fun this one turned out and I've had them printed on gorgeous linen art paper! Have a look....

Sydney Isabella! BluOrchid Photography ~ Memphis Child Photographer

Sydney is growing into just the sweetest little lady. We did her newborn photographs and have been taking her picture ever since. She came to see me recently and we did some fun ones outside and then a few in studio. Her mom came to see these this week and was really pleased! Have a look at a few of my favorite images from her session!

It will be fun....we will have treats for the kids...and most of all, it is for a great cause! Please come out and join us in this event and tell your friends!!!!

Meet Will and Sam! BluOrchid Photography ~ Marion AR Photographer

This is Will and Sam.....seriously 2 of the sweetest and cutest boys I have had the pleasure of working with. Sam (the younger of the 2) was my little ham....just cheesing away in every shot. Will was very tactful about being the older brother. He is the more serious one and takes his job as the one to look up to very seriously! I just think these boys are a great pair and I love the way their photos turned out. I think we really captured their personalities here for their mom. She ordered a nice wall portrait to go above the fireplace in their home! Can't wait to get it all in and framed (something new we have just started offering) and up on the wall! I think it will be gorgeous!

Baby Ben's Newborn Session! BluOrchid Photography ~ Marion AR Baby Photographer

Meet Benjamin, The newest member of our Bebe Collection Family. We did his mother's maternity portraits not too long ago and I was so excited to see this little one arrive. He is sooooo cute with all that dark hair. He also has these gorgeous gray colored eyes! I've never seen anyone's eyes that color before! He was really good for us too and his big brother, Tayton, has turned out to be such a great big brother! I photographed Tayton last fall and he is just really growing too! Time flies! I saw a post by Jac (Ben and Tayton's mom) on Facebook last night that said that little Ben is already in his next size clothes! I can't believe he's growing so fast. I bet when we do his 6 month session I won't even hardly recognize him!!!! Well, you have to see how cute he is for yourself.....

Do You Need a Quickie?!?! BluOrchid Photography ~ Marion AR Photographer

Before you start going all loco on me, a "Quickie" is just a fun, short photo session. Take a look at the ad and then get more details below!



During the next few weeks, we will be hosting six full days set aside just for the Quickie Sessions before the holiday season. These sessions are perfect for Christmas gifts for family members or to just have some fun photos to celebrate this time in your life. Plus, they are chic, contemporary and way better than the pic you get at the mall on Santa's lap (everybody imagine all those photos you have seen where the kid is screaming his poor little head off)! The best part is that the quality is the same as with our regular sessions!

So the details for a Quickie Session include:
*20 minute session
*One outfit
*Online ordering
*Special package pricing
*Special holiday card pricing (after purchasing a package)

There are only 18 slots available for each Quickie day we have, so if you want to get in on this, call NOW to schedule your appointment! To book your session, give us a call and have a credit or debit card handy to prepay your $50 session fee.

Quickie Dates and Themes:

Wednesday, October 21st from 9-4 and the theme is Metal Art (outdoor theme)
Saturday, October 24th from 9-4 and the theme is Urban Grunge (outdoor theme)
Friday, October 30th from 9-4 and the theme is Sofa Art (outdoor theme)
Thursday, November 12th from 9-4 and the theme is Elegant Couture (indoor theme)
Saturday, November 14th from 9-4 and the theme is Vintage (indoor theme)
Tuesday, November 17th from 9-4 and the theme is Urban Chic (indoor theme)

***$100 minimum order due at session***

How to place your order:

About 7-10 days after your session, you will have an online gallery to view your photos and place your order. You will have 48 hours to place your order online before your gallery expires. If the gallery expires before you place your order, $50 will be required to relaunch it for an additional 48 hours. We will not do our custom consultation or custom ordering session with the Quickies so custom products are not available from a Quickie session. If you are interested in wall portraits and other custom products, you will need to schedule a regular session. These are just short sessions to capture moments between you and your family for 20 minutes.

Senior Portraits Can Be Awesome! BluOrchid Photography ~ Marion AR Photographer

Ok, so I have been hearing this a LOT lately! I meet an awesome high school senior and I say "have you had your senior portraits taken yet?" They say, well, we have to use some boring guy my school makes me go to! Uhhh! NO YOU DON'T!!!! You do have to use the boring guy the school makes you go to for the boring/flat photo they put of you in the yearbook....but if you want the good stuff, come see me! That's exactly what Miss Laralee did! She was a blast to shoot with and just cute as she can be! We went to a couple of fun locations around Marion, AR and then some in the studio. She was the first to be photographed on a few of my new backdrops! I love the pink one (it's called Girls Only!). Have a look at some of my favs from her session!

Oh...and just FYI...you don't have to buy those boring, generic Graduation Invitations they sell you at the school either. We can design something totally custom with several of your photographs already on them!

Back in Town and Back to Business! BluOrchid Photography ~ Marion AR Photographer

Well, I don't know if you have noticed, but there are a lot of changes going on. First of all, we got a new media specialist (everyone say hi to Nate). You might be asked to fan us on facebook or follow us on twitter. You can expect more changes to the website as it is being updated and some awesome deals coming soon (some that involve some very good charities).

Also, we are having an awesome incentive because we want more followers of the blog. People are always asking me if I posted anything new! Then they come to the blog and see several new posts. You can literally receive an alert any time a new post is put on the blog. And for being so fabulous and following the blog....I am offering a $25 studio print credit on your next session. All you have to do is click the "Follow" icon on the left upper corner to follow us and receive your credit (credits remain on file in the studio and they never expire).....and be notified any time we have a new post.

Anyhow, here is Nate in case you see him out and about with me working hard, you can tell him how great he is doing! Thanks!!!!


Nate loves to play the guitar!
