EASTER PORTRAITS WITH BABY ANIMALS!
Yay! We'll be doing Easter Portraits with baby animals!
March 19th & 20th sessions will be held in the studio. This is recommended for any child that will be wearing more of the "traditional" Easter dress/dress clothing.
March 26th & 27th sessions will take place at a little farm in Richmond, Kentucky. This is adorable with children wearing overalls or any other casual clothing as long as it can hold up around dust/dirt. Shoes will likely get dusty, at the very least so please consider this before reserving one of these times.
Detailed information can be viewed at http://www.dreamcapture.com/ or via our Facebook group Dream Capture Photography ~ Fabulous Faces. If you're not a group member we'll be excited to add you, if you like!
Or, feel free to call 859.967.6685 or email me directly at jill@dreamcapture.com

Santa Sessions...
All of the Santa Sessions are booked! However, often times there is a cancellation for some reason and if you'd like to be called in the event that a time comes available please send a text message to 859-489-9078. A text message will be the only way to contact me on Saturday, the 21st as it will be a busy day with Santa and friends! If there has been notification of a cancellation, I will contact those that are on the waiting list first and that confirm their interest first. So, if you are contacted first but you wait too long to let me know that you'd like the spot, it will go to whomever is interested. Happy Holidays!!!

'Tis the Season.... Santa is coming!!
10am ~ booked November 21st 10am - 4pm
He will be visiting with us again this year for scheduled sessions so that each child has the opportunity to enjoy this special time. Santa will take his time so that there are no tears ~ this should be fun and exciting for children, not a traumatic event...EVER!
Cost: $49 per child ~ Siblings $24.50
Cost includes up to 30 minutes of one-on-one time with Santa and a special little gift to take home. Siblings will have individual time with Santa first and then, only if moods permit, we will attempt sibling portraits with Santa. It usually isn't a problem, but I have to be clear, it won't be forced on anyone.
** Receive an 8x10 and 12 wallets (same pose) with a donation (approx $10) of dog or cat food that can be brought to the studio and left at the bottom of the stairs.
Special pricing and packages will be offered as well.

Just wanted to make sure that anyone interested in have costume portraits will need to be on the schedule!

Let me know via email at jill@dreamcapture.com or call 859.967.6685 and let me know!

Opportunities Abound...
I will be following up and making call backs slower than usual over the next 10 days as an opportunity has presented itself to me and it's not optional, by any means.
Most of my clients are aware that 2 years ago I was planning to relocate into a newly constructed studio. You may even remember the excitement!Unfortunately, there were licensing, building codes, building inspections, and occupancy issues that were out of my control and never completely resolved. There are two sides to every story and I do not want to put a dent into any part of my case so, I will refrain from disclosing any details at this time.
Over the past 2 years since this all began, it has been a challenging time for me. I have tried to keep up and sometimes I've tried to jump ahead. Usually, I'm trailing somewhere in the rear view. However, I've decided that I would use a positive-thinking approach and view this as an opportunity of a lifetime. I have the unbelievable opportunity of representing myself in a trial. Yes, after all this time, this case is going to trial, my friends!I will represent myself against the owner/lessor of this property. They are an LLC comprised of an architect, a home builder, and a real estate attorney. Additionally, they are being represented by an attorney.
I am fully aware that I could lose but, let me just say, it won't happen quietly. I am far too competitive and retentive to allow this to just happen to me. Remember, I don't believe that things happen for a reason so I won't just sit back and let them. I will take my position and make them all aware of it. There was a day when I was under-estimated, under-valued, under-appreciated and the sun has set on that day. Regardless of the outcome of this trial, I will prevail knowing that I will no longer under-estimate my abilities, I will realize that I am invaluable, and I will appreciate my tolerance threshold of the negative people and circumstances in my life. So, now that I've put it out there, I appreciate any patience and understanding that you can lend me during this time.Jill

Spring = Busy, busy, busy!
I hadn't realized how long it's been since I've updated this blog! It's been busier than usual and I think that each year it surprises me more and more. I just wrapped up the St. Joseph East Maternity and daycare pictures along with lots of newborn and kid sessions! If you're interested in scheduling a portrait session please give me a call at 859.967.6685 or email jill@dreamcapture.com. Keep in mind that when I'm on location it is difficult to make timely return calls and email can be a better way to get in touch, initially anyway.

Things that I Wonder...
In the capturing of the image at top of this page, I thought at first sight how happy the color yellow made me. I had to capture that "Happy" and I set to work seeing it through my lens. I love all the colors in the background but had to find a focal point. In selecting this particular flower as my focal point, there was no real reason. It was just there or it stood out to me, in retrospect, I don't really recall. Maybe it was just waving at me in the slight breeze, maybe it was slightly taller than all the rest, who knows. Does it really matter? Probably not. But, I do wonder at times why things catch my eye. Or, the eye of another, for that matter. At first glance, what moves a person to the point that they may even gasp, unknowingly, as their breath is taken. Taken for no other reason save it's very being.
The image of this flower and the sea of all that surround it, represents to me the perception I have about us as individuals. I think there are times when we may seem similar, if not identical, to those in our stereotype (whatever stereotype that may be). But, there are also many times when we are set apart from all the rest just by our very being. Set apart so much so that we may even cause someone's world to stop as they gasp, unknowingly.

Wall Portrait Special!!!!
For a very limited time wall portraits will be specially priced so this is the perfect time to update your walls or get ready for the best Valentine's Day gift EVER!!
There are some restrictions which vary according to each session. Some variables would be things such as images must be available for larger reproduction, archived images would need to be retrieved, etc. I do have many of my files taken within the past year currently accessible. So, if you think you're interested please contact me at
or call 859.967.6685!
You would need to know the image number if you would like to order via phone. I will have a single day that I will preview the images if that would be helpful to anyone. This will be the only day that previewing for these specially priced portraits will take place. A separately scheduled preview may take place, however, the discounted pricing would not apply.
With the exception of Simply Baby participants and those being used for display, I will be archiving the images from all sessions prior to December 1, 2008 after the date below.
- 11x14 ~ $79 save $20
- 16x16 or 16x20 ~ $99 save $40
- 20x20 or 20x24 ~ $149 save $60

Preview date will be January 26, 2009 for the discounted wall portraits. 15-30 minute preview appts will be scheduled between the hours of 10am and 7pm. This will be the time to place your order and anyone participating in the decision making is welcome to join us!
Last day to place an order using the special pricing is February 15, 2009.
Accepted methods of payment are cash, check, Visa, and/or MasterCard.

Is it already 2009?!
I overheard someone say that it was 2009 and thought I should make a few updates!!
This past year was such a whirlwind and just when I thought I was ready to begin the New Year, it apparently began even without my "okay"!
I will be making a few announcements over the next several days (which is your que to bookmark this blog), I want to start by letting everyone know that there will be NO price increase with the changing of the New Year. Instead, I will make a few changes to the process of creation to eliminate any unnecessary expenditure on my end. This, I believe is referred to as "trickle down" economics!
My personal note and reasoning for this change...or lack thereof...
I believe that you can choose what defines you. It can be your career, your house, car, or all of the latest fashions hanging nicely in your walk-in closet. But, when your youth is behind you and memories are the topic of conversation amongst distant and close relatives, alike, you will never be able to say that the organization of your lovely closet was a pivotal moment in which everything made perfect sense. You will never say that your career beamed at you with curious eyes and a toothless grin that was reserved all day long just for you. And, you will never say that your house was more beautiful without your family portraits.
So...while you can enjoy some or all of these things throughout life, it's truly your family, friends, and your memories that will ultimately define who you are.
Portraits may seem a luxurious item to some but I believe they are an absolute necessity for reasons far too many to list here. I don't just love the experience of creating them, I truly want you to have them to treasure with your family. I realize that a personal photographer isn't always feasible and I know that there are chain stores that can provide the "quickie print". By all means, whether it's a chain store or another photographer, capture this day...this moment! You will never look back with regret nor will you ever look at your portraits and think you need to sell them in a yard sale!
Of course, I would love to see you and capture these moments for you! So, call or email me today!
I hope you all are having a wonderful beginning to this New Year!!

Thank You Santa!!
Okay, tell me I don't have the best Santa and I would have to say you're wrong!
This Santa will sit on the floor all day, hold new babies, and talk to them all the while! I love him and I'm so glad he paid us a visit!
Thank you Santa...Merry Christmas!!
**I still have a few more to upload but here's just a few for now
