We are so excited to introduce our special “Magic of Santa” portrait sessions, created with your children (whether two-legged or four-legged) in mind. During this magical portrait session, toddlers and school age children will join Santa in his workshop and have the opportunity to visit with him, share his/her wish list, “paint” toys, read a book, sing, and even have a snack of milk & cookies. It will be an experience they will never forget. Babies and pets will still join Santa in his workshop, but their activities will vary based on age.  Either way, there will be lots of awe-struck expressions and bashful giggles. And we’ll be on hand to capture it all.

Each session will be approximately 45-60 minutes long and is perfect for an individual child, pair of siblings, or well-behaved pets. The non-refundable session fee is $250 for up to four children. If you have more than four, please contact us for pricing for a longer sitting. The session fee is due at the time of booking.

After your portrait sitting with Santa, we’ll schedule a time for you to return to the studio to view your images and place your order with us. We offer exquisite wall portraits, gift portraits and storybook albums that you’re sure to cherish for years to come. You may create your own custom fine art collection or choose from one of our special packages created just for this event. Custom holiday cards may be added on to your portrait order as well. We accept Visa/Mastercard/AMEX, checks and cash, and also offer no-interest payment plans as well.

This is an event you will not want to miss! We have limited times available and they are filling up fast. To schedule your session, simply email (hello@reneesprink.com) or call (919-285-1670).

Happy Mother’s Day to all the sweet, beautiful mamas out there that we’ve had the joy of working with over the years and to the ones in our future at RSP. You’re not just celebrated today, but every day. Where would we be without you?

When we were little, who else would have brushed the endless knots out of our hair day after day? Who else would have known something was wrong just by the tone of our voice or the look in our eyes? Who else would have kissed all of our “boo-boos” to make them better? Who else would have asked us about our day as soon as we got home from school? Who else would have gotten lipstick on our cheeks every time she kissed us goodbye?

As we got older, we still would have been lost without you, moms. Who else would have drove us to every dance practice? Stayed up late working on every science project? Sat front row for every performance? Pretended not to notice when we snuck into your makeup before running out the door? Who else would have worried endlessly until we got home on friday night? Who else would have grounded us “for our own good” when we got home thirty minutes past curfew?

As we grew up and moved out of the house, we needed you just as much. Who else would always have a hot meal prepared when we came home from college? Who else would understand that using the emergencies only credit card for a date night outfit was really an emergency? Who else would defend our purchases to dad? Who else would we have trusted when they told us that this boy is the one? Who else would have spent countless hours wedding planning with us, loving every second? Who else would have cried when we found the perfect dress? Who else would have helped us pin in our veil and fasten our jewelry? Who else has been dreaming with us about our wedding day since we were little girls? Who else would be there grinning from ear to ear on one of the most special days of our lives? Who else would eagerly await the next big moment in our lives, as we become mothers ourselves?

Moms you’re amazing. You juggle it all. You always know exactly what to say. We grow up hoping to be just like you. And if we are lucky we’ll be able to fill your shoes. We cherish you today and every day. We love you ❤ Happy Mother’s Day!

RSP is starting a new blog series, “Renee’s Favs”, where each Monday I talk about one of my favorite things. It’ll be a fun, lighthearted way to get the week started.

Warm weather is coming our way and that means its time for a fresh springtime mani! I know there are all these crazy trends and Pinterest DIYs, but I have to admit, I tend to keep it classic. Here is a sampling of my favorite shades

Screen Shot 2016-03-06 at 7.51.40 PM

Bubble Bath : Bubble Bath is the perfect shade of nude. It makes your nails look soft and clean. Oh, and it has the teensiest hint of pink. This shade is my year round favorite.

 

Screen Shot 2016-03-06 at 7.53.32 PMSuzi Nails New Orleans: This bubble gum pink is new in the OPI Spring 2016 collection. I like that it is light but still bright. I think this will be great for Easter!

Screen Shot 2016-03-06 at 7.50.24 PMDutch Tulips: Dutch Tulips is perfect for anyone who wants a bold nail but doesn’t want the harshness of a true red. This shade of bright magenta isn’t afraid to be seen!

Strawberry Margarita : This Barbie pink is for the ultimate girly girl. Not only will this shade match your favorite Lilly dress, it will get you in the mood for sweet summertime and a drink by the pool. Because I like “pink-y toes,” you’ll see me wearing this color on my little piggies a lot in the summertime!

Cajun Shrimp: Last but not least is Cajun Shrimp. This has been an OPI staple for years. I was in the nail salon just the other day and a lady was asking for this color. If you’re feeling sassy, this spicy shade of pink-y-coral is for you!

Those are my “favs”. What are your go to mani colors? Let me know what my next springtime shade should be!
