Which comes to the not-so-good news. Next year I will be taking an 8 month break from family portraits to focus on my new baby, and my new business "Bellies and Babies".
This means I will not be taking ANY family portrait bookings from January - August 2010 so if you didn't get in this fall, unfortunately it's going to be a while.
But I expect to pick up where I left off with family portraits in Fall 2010, I will start taking names for a waiting list in January 2010.
Speaking of 2010 - WOW! This must be THE year to get married. My 2010 wedding books are almost closed, here is a little peek of what I have left.

Thank you so much for all your business, I cannot find the words to describe how grateful I am to be able to run a business that is not only fun for me, but fun for my clients. Without YOU and your business there would be no "Kelly Manno Photography" I am nothing without my faithful clients so I thank you.
There have been a lot of exciting things going on in the Manno-house, look for an update later this week with Belly pictures, ultrasounds pictures, updates on the kids, the dogs, and more!
With that being said, I would also like to express my sympathy for the loss of DJ AM. After 9 years of sobriety he lost his battle with drug addiction.
Last year I was asked to shoot him spinning at a celebrity event. Out of it came one of my favorite photos I have ever taken. Now I will treasure it even more.
He was truly a humble guy who brought back to life a musical art form that was almost extinct. The world of music will miss him very much.
