I have already received numerous questions about Christmas cards and it has taken me a little while to get the gallery up but it is finally out there on my website. For those of you interested in purchasing Christmas cards this year, please email me and I will provide you the password to access the gallery - here is a quick breakdown of how the cards work:
There are two options on the format of the card:
Both options include a 5×7 card with an envelope. All images in the Christmas Card gallery are available in both options and all templates are the same price. You can customize the pictures, the wording, the font and in many cases the colors as well.
Option 1 - Single sided Christmas Card ($25 for 25 cards): printed on high quality lustre (matte) photographic paper. (The backside of the card shows the photo paper). These look as beautiful as the prints you receive.
Option 2 - Double sided Christmas Card ($37.50 for 25 cards): printed on linen cardstock. These show the photographs beautifully and allow for additional design, writing and / or pictures on the back of the card
The following are examples of some of the templates in the gallery, along with what a double sided card would look like:
The next card shows a close-up example of the front and 2 options for customizing the back side of the card:
You can leave the back blank or you can add text…
You can add text and a picture, or even multiple pictures…
Just a few more of the many templates available to choose from in the gallery:

This fall I will be holding a series of mini-sessions, which are back to back 30 minute photo sessions in a single location. I am already nearly booked for the Holiday season so this will be a perfect opportunity for those who just want a few updated photos or a family picture for Christmas cards at about half the price of a regular session. Hurry because I believe these slots will go quickly - one is already gone!
I have been anxiously awaiting the arrival of my new gallery wrap canvases and they are finally here!!!! I am SO EXCITED. I was literally dancing around all day in anticipation for the UPS man. They are 16×24 and they are just gorgeous. They sit above my desk which you will see looks very empty right now. I am in the process of cleaning out and redecorating my little scrapbooking and photography room and the canvases are the first major change. I will post more pics of the area once it is complete, including the opposite wall where I will have all the mounted color photos - so excited!!! But for now, here are the canvases…
You can email me for prices if you are interested in ordering a gallery wrap from your session.
For any prospective clients out there who are wondering what the portrait experience is like and what the final product is, this is the post for you! Recent clients, Grant and Jaime, graciously allowed me to use their gallery as a “show and tell” for the blog readers. Once you complete your photo session with me I usually post a “sneak peek of pictures” on my blog which includes about 5 or 6…or 10 
of the images from your session. Here is the link to Grant and Jaime’s sneak peek. Then, approximately a week later I post a full gallery online for you to view with about 30-40 images from the session including some color and crop options as well (i.e. black an white, etc). To access Grant and Jaime’s gallery you can go to www.sandyrunner.com , click on Enter Site, click on Client Proofing, select Grant, Jaime and Eli and then it will let you into the gallery (most galleries are password protected but this one is open for you to view). Once you click their name, a slideshow will begin. To control the slideshow yourself select the icon on the bottom right with the 4 little squares. (This gallery will expire after about 2 weeks so check it out if you are interested).
And because no post is complete without a picture - here are a couple more from Baby Landon’s recent session:
