Conceiving a Baby Plan

Deanna / The Blogging Life /

Oh, I had a great time at the Bellies & Babies seminar last week! I learned some really simple things I should have already known after nine years in the baby photo business (warm up the props with a hair dryer before lying a naked baby down!) And some really amazing poses–a few that I already did and others I will add to the repertoire.

But the main thing was that Sandy had a Baby Plan I could live with.

See, many of you moms would come to me, upset at some other photographer you felt “locked in” with because you bought a plan. And I vowed never to let that happen to me. So I never offered a plan.

Then a funny thing happened–over and over you all asked for one with me!

I have whole-heartedly adopted Sandy’s version of the plan, which is flexible enough that you can drop by Sears if you just can’t make it in without feeling you lost something, but discounted enough that it’s worth your while to prepay.

Here’s the scoop! You can always learn more at the Baby Plan page on the web site.

The Baby Plan includes the following sittings, image, and discounts:

~ Three portrait sessions with Deanna at 3 months, 6 months and 1 year (regularly $65 each)
~ One 10×20 mounted composite image showcasing your three favorite poses from the year (regularly $110)
~ Free Madonna portrait sitting of mother and child if baby brought prior to six weeks ($65)
~ 1/2 Price Maternity Sitting Fee and 20% off Maternity Images
~ 50% off the Year of Baby Story Book and DVD (save $250)

My latest book is an emotional ride

This Kiss by Deanna Roy The first time I lost all memory of Tucker, we had just met. We were seventeen, stuck in the disco room of the children’s hospital, both of our heads covered in electrodes wrapped in gauze. Not exactly attractive.Except we were—attracted, that is. I never got to meet boys my age(…)
The Trail to Rom Com Land

I’m known for my ugly-cry books. I’ve always landed on the dramatic end of the scale, which has served me well for my biggest bestselling books like Forever Innocent and Baby Dust. I’d written a few rom coms here and there, almost by accident. (I’m funny? No. No one thinks the Queen of the Ugly(…)
Seizures, daughters, and books that matter

In the life of an epilepsy mom, the longest minute of your life is the one when your child stops breathing. I’ve been through it more than once. I’ve seen Elizabeth turn completely blue on the floor of a restaurant. I’ve dried her off, shivering, after seizing in a downpour at Disneyland. I’ve snatched her(…)
Forever Innocent, 7 years later

Late last year, I was contacted by Radish, a reading app for phones, asking to publish a long serialized version of my series that begins with Forever Innocent. With six books, they told me, I would have a successful run with their readers. So in January, we began the process of breaking the books into(…)
On My Friend John J Asher

Sometimes the people who become your best friends are who’d you expect. The kid your age who ends up living next door. The neighborhood family expecting a baby the same time as you. A coworker you laugh with at lunch. But then there are the ones who are only on the periphery of your life(…)
New year, new pen name!

I haven’t written a Deanna-book in a while, as I’ve been focused on branded pen names that write very specific types of books. The Sweetest Match and The Perfect Disaster both take place in the fall of 2018 in Applebottom, Missouri. The two books can be read in any order and are completely standalone. You(…)
The Little Dude Book is here!

I’ve never had a book more people have asked for than this one! A couple years ago, before we adopted Little Dude, I typed up the very first conversation between him and Elizabeth. We were out walking, hoping to find a good spot to view the super moon. It went like this: Eliza: Look at(…)
