Prissy is MY baby girl.

When you look at these images, you may think you are looking at a D-O-G. However, you are mistaken. This is a baby girl. Prissy has a heart that is made out of sugar. Bless her little heart, but she has never had a day in her life that anybody has ever been mean to her. Oh sure, she has had a handful of spankings in the nine years of her life, but she has lived quite a charmed life. Therefore, she thinks that EVERYBODY has come to see her and that they want to play with her.

Sorry, little Butterbean, but real life just ain't that way!

Anyway, we have a new set at the studio, and Prissy wanted to be the first to model it for you. It is 'all white' and it is known by photographers as a hi-key background. It is usually really hard to achieve, but it looks like little princess and I have it under control.

So, the next time that you come to White Flower Photography, please be sure to ask Ms. Susan about her new toy, er, uh........ the hi-key set. If you make a point of letting her know that you would like for her to bring it out in the beginning of the session while there is still time, she will be sure to get it all set up for you!

We have been in a computer jungle


Well, to put it mildly, Ms. Susan has been in a computer and technology jungle. Easily, she has spent a thousand dollars or more per month (for at least a year) on either fixing something that is broken or adding additional hard drive storage for the large volume of humongous files that are housed on the White Flower Photography network. All images are created with a 17 megapixel camera - YIKES!
Switching to COMCAST only turned the problem into a night mare. The network was destroyed by their DSL line and the bills continued to climb. Then the VOIP (phone) system became increasingly unreliable. We had no access to our database or calendar which means that we weren't always able to call you or to schedule your appointments as we have wanted to. YIKES!
There have been days that we couldn't make or receive phone calls. There have been days that we couldn't use the internet. We are in the process of switching back to AT&T. Hopefully, these issues are about to be resolved.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE! Believe me, it has been very, very stressful on our end.
Also, please remember that images that are not ordered will be destroyed after 60 days. Data storage is simply too expensive for the long term, especially when less than one percent of those images are ever ordered again.
