(yes, it’s just as awkward as your bridal shower) Something about opening gifts up in front of an audience makes me so nervous and flush…unless of course it’s my birthday, in which case, look out, wrapping paper flying everywhere.  ANYWHO…back to your baby shower.  It’s an onslaught of gifts…new diaper bag, baby monitor, onesies, butt paste (what?), the cutest little baby socks ever, and a handful of gift certificates to GP?  What’s this?  That’s right, your amazing baby shower planner registered you at Griffith Photography to have newborn photographs done.  That leads me to my point in this blog post…Did you know you can register for showers at GP?  Call us up and we’ll schedule a consultation so you can meet us and check out the studio and we’ll set you up with truly one of the most amazing gifts you could ever imagine for your new arrival!  The best part is that Mama’s registered at GP for their baby shower get 40 custom birth announcements on the house!

Meet Jordan! She’ll be a Senior at Greenville High School in the Fall and is a triple threat….gorgeous, smart, and a tomboy! She rides around on her ATV and has guns and EVERYTHING. (she has brothers….) We had a great time photographing her! We started in the studio and ended up at her house with a few stops in between!  Thanks for choosing GP, Jordan!  We keep saying this over and over, but we PROMISE to start updating the blog more regularly.  We may even have to let Rachael take over blog duty for us.  Truth is, we’re very busy and it kinda takes a back seat to other things around here but it’s so important to us to keep our awesome customers updated on studio news so starting with Jordan we will officially be posting at least once a week.  And if you catch us slacking, call us out on it!!!!
