To all of my 2010-11 clients:
You may have received an email from me yesterday with incorrect billing information in it. This weekend I set up a new bookkeeping/office management software and it sent out emails before I was ready for it to! Please continue to go by the original paperwork I gave you after you signed the contract. I plan to have all the kinks worked out soon so that this doesn’t happen again!

If you have any questions at all about your payment schedule, your contract, or making payments, please contact me at any time at holly [at] hollybirchphotography [dot] com or 217-737-0971. Thanks so much for bearing with me through this software transition!

I haven’t posted too much basketball or football this year for a couple reasons. The main one is that I want to try to keep my wedding and portrait work on the forefront. Also, both teams are performing a little under expectations, and I don’t see people flocking here to see my sports photos because of it. I had to post this one though because it’s just one of those things you don’t see in every game and it’s one of the freshmen that I haven’t posted photos of yet. This was a few games ago, so I don’t remember exactly what was happening, but I believe that DJ Richardson was chasing down a loose ball got tripped up in the process. No worries–he was ok!

I’m getting a lot of calls and emails lately for dates I’m already booked in 2010 (and some dates in 2011 are already gone too!), so I wanted to post my calendar here so you can check this out prior to contacting me. A link to this calendar is also always available on my Contact page.

My friend Elizabeth asked a few weeks before Christmas if I could get a few shots of her, her mom and her sister before they add her fiance Mark to the picture next October. Mark and Elizabeth are both good friends of mine and Aaron’s so we’re very much looking forward to photographing their wedding and partying it up at the reception (they are adamant about me putting down the camera and enjoying myself once my work is done!).

It was a FREEZING afternoon between Christmas and New Year’s and I don’t know how they all 3 stayed out in the cold so long without their coats, but we got in what we could before their noses all turned too red!

I have been a total blog slacker since before the holidays!! My apologies, loyal blog readers.

Here are a couple favorites from a family session I did one cold afternoon a few days before Christmas.
