It is that time again!  Easter is around the corner and come Sunday, Spring will have Sprung…

Call {912.764.7274} or email us to book your Spring or Bunny session.  {don’t worry, the bunnies feelings won’t be hurt if you prefer your session to be bunny-free}

Custom sessions are also available.  Call for details!

I sure do!  Check out this link to find out more details.  You can sign up for email updates too.  Disney’s “Give a Day Get a Disney Day” program sounds great to me.

Here is what Disney’s website says:

“BEGINNING JANUARY 1, 2010, when you sign up here to volunteer a day of service with a participating organization (and your service is completed and verified) you’ll get one day admission to a Walt Disney World® or Disneyland® theme park, FREE!”

The part I love the most…

“We want to inspire one million people to volunteer a day of service.”

Just think the difference a million people can make.  Let’s be a part of it!

We have the Santa dates confirmed with the North Pole!

These are very popular and very limited sessions due to Santa’s extremely busy schedule and they sell out quickly!  Every year someone is disappointed because they did not get on the good list.

Don’t procrastinate…call 912-764-7274 or email info@lorigrice.com RIGHT NOW!  For those of you who have never experienced a Lori Grice – Santa session – you do not want to miss this.  These are so special because of the incredible experience we create for you, and your children with Santa.  During the session your children get exclusive and personal face time with Santa and Mrs. Claus.  It is not rushed and you do not feel pressured that someone is standing in line waiting while your child tries to decide if they like Santa this year or not.  We have lots of magical tricks and assure you that you will get at least one picture with Santa and your children in it – no matter how they feel about the Jolly ‘Ole Guy.  So to make sure you are not the one standing in line at the mall for hours between the crying babies….book now by calling 912.764.7274 or info@lorigrice.com

Our sessions allow you and your children 30 minutes of one-on-one time with the Jolly ‘Ole Guy!  Best yet, they will have plenty of time to go over their list in excruciating detail with Santa.  You know he likes lists!  We also encourage you to bring  your video camera to record this experience that neither you nor your children will EVER forget.

Please be sure to check out our fair booth this year…we were promoted!!!  I know that I have had the same fair booth for 13 years…maybe even longer….so we are totally excited that we got to move up to the front of the building!!!  (sort of like the first time I got to sit at the “adult table” at my grandma’s house!)

The Diamond Ball Saturday night was such fun!  The food…the dancing…the person that won a REAL diamond….it was ALL amazing!

I was so excited to help out by emceeing the event.  One of the best parts of being emcee was the “cinderella experience” that my “fairy god-neighbor” Scott Marchbanks and his team at Frills and Fancies gave me!  They literally dressed me from head to toe!  (see the shoes below!)  Girls…if you are having a bad day this is enough to adjust any attitude!

Back to the Ball…”The Headliners” performed, Frazier’s Florist decorated and Bernard’s Jewelers donated a diamond that was nearly a carat as a give-a-way.  You could purchase a flute of champagne for $20.  All the flutes had a cubic zirconia except one…that lucky one had the REAL diamond in it!!!  Polly, from Bernard’s staff, hand tested each one until the lucky winner was found.  Oh what a night it was for her!!!  If I felt like Cinderella can you imagine how she felt with a new beautiful diamond???  (she is in the green dress below)

The most important part was the $$$ raised to fund cancer research.  I asked everyone in the audience that was a survivor to stand.  Way too many people stood up.  Cancer affects so many lives.  Research is the way the cure IS going to be found.  Please consider giving to the next event…Relay for Life.  As a survivor myself…I know first-hand just how valuable research is…it saved my life and may save yours one day too!!!  (or it may already have!)    

A short while ago I had the great honor of being commissioned by the family of Ralph Adair Dixon to photograph his 90th birthday celebration in Claxton, Georgia.  His party was the social event of the year in this small community.  It was great to photograph so many of my clients and friends over there at the celebration.  Mr. Dixon’s daughters commissioned me this year to create an album of the event as a Christmas surprise for their dad.  I wanted to share this with you as an idea for a special event you may have in the future and want to commission me to document it in an incredibly artistic way.  We have also had many request from people who attended to see the images from that day.  This will allow each of you to get a sneak peek at the album and relive this wonderful day with the Dixon family.

I am already working with daughter Joyce on another Christmas surprise project for next year.  But your going to have to wait a while for that one.
