Craig and Alisha

It was such a pleasure to work with Craig and Alisha and I have to admit they made me feel pretty special..they drove from New Bern just to have me take their pictures!!! I love that Dad was so in to talking about ideas for newborn pictures and already in planning mode..yes he was totally reading my mind with planning!! I hope yall enjoy the sneak peaks..can't wait to meet your sweet little guy!

Walker Girls

These are two beautiful little ones both with gorgeous blue eyes! Tatum sure loved her sister and really liked doing a couple shots with her all by her self and well Kimber was just about as laid back as a person can be! These two are destined to grow in to best friends as they get older and I know Tatum will be happy to lead her baby sister through life. I hope yall enjoy the sneak peaks!

Mommy and Me

I spent some time Friday morning with these sweet ladies! Ava is full of sweetness and loved to love on her Mommy and her Baby Brother :) She and Mom both have such a laid back and gentle way about them, refreshing to be around both of them! I hope yall enjoy the sneak peaks :)

Michael is 8mo!

Would you believe me if I told you that Mom said he wasn't this happy before they arrived for his session???Yep me neither! Michael is growing quickly and a few months shy of 1 is already learning the fundamentals to begin walking, boy oh boy is Momma going to have her hands full when he turns 1! We took a very natural approach to this session and included some time on the playground..hope yall enjoy the sneak peaks!

Nick N

I have been fortunate enough to capture this little guy as he grows up! He was my very first baby to enter in to a package and I have the priviledge of capturing his second year as well :) He has changed so much since his last session and completely hammed it up for the camera at times. He wasn't afraid to show his assertiveness when Momma took away the bubbles but was quickly entertained by pushups with Daddy! I hope yall enjoy the sneak peaks!

Erica and Jeff..Engaged

Erica and Jeff are such a sweet couple to work with and completely laid back considering we ran in to a wedding and about 20 prom goers throughout their session (bet ya couldn't tell that through the photos though!). I love that she wanted to infuse some of their personal interests in the session. There is such a sweet and gentle calm that come from their images that it is hard not to get bubbly and smile when working on their session! I can't wait to work with them on both Bridals and their Big Day! Hope yall enjoyed the sneak peaks :)

Brandon and Jennifer

Brandon and Jenn were a fun couple to work with, once Brandon got relaxed it was priceless to see that look he gives her. I am a hopeless romantic and love to see someone else in love, he had this starstuck look in his eyes when he would look at her, yep completely made me go AWWW when I was editing! I love that they were both so full of laughs and smiles..hope yall enjoy the sneak peaks, and be on the look out for more from these two in the fall!

Miranda H. Proud Grad of WSSU!

 Miranda has such a bubbly, fun, laid back personality to work with that her session was the perfect end to my working afternoon. I have to commend her on the achievement of being a Graduate, and not only that but doing it while working and raising her Son! That my friend is something to be proud of..VERY PROUD! I hope yall enjoy the sneak peaks!

Cody Family

This was my first family experience with all boys and they were full of energy! I love that they all had different personalities, it was fun to photograph them in different ways to really capture that! Madi actually knows the older two brothers and was eager to watch and give commentary on their pictures :) These are some of my favorite family pictures from the session, hope yall enjoy!

Princess Calli

This little one is such a sweetheart and I was excited to get the chance to work with her and Momma again! I love to see her little personality, she is so lively and can carry on a conversation quite well! I hope yall enjoy the sneak peaks and Happy Birthday Calli :)

Sweet baby Salem

This little guy had one of the most curious personalities I have seen in a little one. He has the sweetest little look of awe in several shots, he is amazed at the world around him and with that wide eyed look he is sure to become something wonderful. Dream big little one..dream big! Hope yall enjoy the sneak peaks!

Good to Know!

I'd like to say welcome to all the new clients and fans, along with previous ones! I know at times I get so busy and bogged down I don't get a chance to post on a few things that are good to know and decided to take a moment to do that this morning..be sure to read on for info including print orders, deposits, and even how to earn a FREE 1hr session!!!

{Contacting me}
If you are interested in pricing or scheduling a session please use email or phone to contact me..the message system for the MMP page doesn't feed the messages through my phone and it can be a day or two before I notice it..I do my best to respond to all requests within 12-24hrs. Having requests via email also makes it easier for me to keep track of who I have and have not spoken with, keep notes for upcoming sessions, and locate contact numbers immediately! Email is: memorablemomentsbyphillips@yahoo.com and I am available until 9pm via phone: 336-688-8106

{Booking}
Whew..I still find it hard to believe I have come to where I am in such a short time..I remember talking with a client last Spring who told me eventually I would become so busy that I would haven't have time for much else and I couldn't believe her at the time but I am definitely there! I am so lucky to know that 90% of my business is totally on word of mouth or someone seeing my work and finding value and beauty in it..yes that totally warms my heart! With that being said I typically book out at least one month, the Summer is pretty open right now but the Fall is already getting requests and booking for 1hr sessions in addition to Weddings that are already on the books..if you are interested in setting up a fall session on a weekend date and know what you want I strongly urge you to go ahead and think about booking, I am working on getting a couple dates set aside for Fall and Christmas Minis (WOW I can't believe I am already thinking about these!!!) and they will be released closer to the season. Seriously thank yall for allowing me to stay this busy..I am one lucky girl!

{Location Fees}
In order to keep session base fees down I do have a location fee for anything further than 25mi from me. This is disclosed up front and the fee of .55/mi is set by IRS standards. I work with clients to find the location that will fit their hopes and wishes for their session and will make every attempt to keep them within that 25mi radius.

{Print Orders}
I have previously taken print orders at just about any time but with the schedule I currently hold it will be better to have a specific date said aside for just prints! I will take print orders on Tuesdays ONLY. I prefer that Print Orders are picked up in person and request that all orders are picked up within 1 week of being notified that they are ready :)

{Deposits}
I require deposits simply because I am securing a spot on my calendar to YOU. In the past I haven't had deposits and ran in to the situation several times of no shows or clients that would cancel at the last minute. That isn't fair to anyone that I have to turn away for a specific date if someone just simply doesn't show up..a deposit guarantee's you being there and also lets me know what days I will be working :) Deposits are NON REFUNDABLE at ALL TIMES but if you contact me with any issues that arise with a 1hr booking (this is non applicable for Weddings or other Events) before your scheduled time then your deposit can be used for a later date session!

{Loyalty Rewards}
I know that several former clients are aware of this but there are several new ones that may not be too familiar..I offer a Loyalty Rewards Program..it is my way of saying thank you for sharing my name! Each time you refer someone to me, AND they reference your name when booking, and hold their session then you receive a point for them..once you have 3 referrals you will have a credit for a FREE 1HR SESSION!!! Yes it really is that simple! There is no limit to how many free sessions you can receive as the points just keep adding up and for every 3 you receive that credit..so just think if you share my name with all your friends and family and they decide to book then you could get on average 1-3 free sessions, bet that got ya motivated hunh?!

Thank you again to all of the clients who have become loyal to me and count on me over and over again to capture memories for their family and friends..because of you and the good Lord I have a career that I love..most of the time :)

Crystal S Bridals

 I cannot begin to tell you how gorgeous this Bride and her dress are, she literally glowed and moved like a princess from place to place! Crystal was fun to work with because she has a spunk to her and liked to joke throughout the whole session. I really like that we were able to pull in some military for one shot as her future husband serves our country! I hope yall enjoy the sneak peaks!
