Summer Movies 2011
If you’re like me, you’re counting down the last few days of school with a mix of emotions. I’ll be so glad to see my children all day every day – really, I will! And, I am definitely glad we don’t have to catch a bus at 6:45 every morning. But I do hear this little voice screaming whispering in my head, “What are we going to do for the next three months to stay busy and sane that won’t cost a fortune?”

My children love movies – and there are tons of free or really cheap movies to see in the Alpharetta area over the summer. Here is a list of some local summer programs. Check the theater websites for specific details. Most of these programs have greatly reduced ticket prices ($1-$2) and some offer concession specials as well. Check before you go – some theaters will still try to sell you the $7 kids pack. Um, no thanks.

And, a note from AMC’s site. Apparently they aren’t have a summer movie series this year which is really disappointing. I’d love to frequent the AMC at the Avenue Forsyth but not for full price.
“Thank you for your interest in our AMC Summer MovieCamp program in recent years. Unfortunately, the number of guests has been fewer in recent years, with many shows operating with less than 25 guests in the auditorium. Last year, attendance dropped so significantly that we have made the difficult decision to discontinue the program. While we don’t have Summer MovieCamp any longer, here’s a list of summer films that your family might enjoy and if you come before noon, shows will have value pricing (excluding holiday periods).”
Here is a list of the summer kid’s films just for reference.
- may 27: kung fu panda 2: the kaboom of doom
- june 10: judy moody and the not bummer summer
- june 24: cars 2
- july 1: monte carlo
- july 8: zookeeper
- july 15: winnie the pooh
- july 17: mr popper’s penguins
- august 5: smurfs
- august 19: spy kids 4: all the time in the world

$50 is due at the time of scheduling to hold your appointment. The package may be upgraded after your session.

I have had several requests for November dates. Since the holiday season gets so busy and schedules are crazy, I will honor the mini session package pricing for any mini session scheduled before November 30. (Does not apply to newborn sessions) If you need a date other than October 16, October 23 or November 6 please contact me to save a time!

In honor of this special day, I’m offering a gift certificate special – buy one get one free! Purchase a gift certificate between June 19, 2010 and June 27, 2010 and receive double the face value. For example, if you purchase a gift certificate for $100, receive $200 credit. Purchase $200, receive $400. This offer is good for sessions booked between July 1, 2010 and September 30, 2010. The amount of the gift certificate may be used to pay for the session fee and for portraits.

(gift certificate redeemable for one standard session only and is not transferable. no cash value. not valid for newborn sessions.)

Happy Father’s Day to my Daddy – hope you have a wonderful day!

And, to my husband, you are the most amazing daddy to our children. I love watching you with them! Here’s a photograph of my husband with his daddy years ago. My son looks so much like my husband did at his age. I just love looking back at old family photographs!

Give your dad or husband a gift that will last a lifetime! Please contact me to purchase gift certificates.
