Wesley | Killeen Family Photographer

January has rolled around and it's time to catch up on blogging all the lovely sessions that never got blogged last year! Not because we don't love them, just because we got insanely busy during the fall thanks to fabulous clients! So with that, look for many posts coming during January that range all the way back from July! We are working on being better bloggers :)

Meet Wesley. He's grown so much since this session and I'm lucky enough to see his sweet face on occasion for play dates. His mommy and I know each other from high school, taught Kindergarten together, and remain good friends! This was Wesley 1-year-old session at his Nana's house. One thing I love about this session is that it shows you really can be comfrotable in your own home for a session if driving to locations really isn't convenient or your thing. A location is what you make of it and I love the images we got from Wesley! Isn't he a cutie? He is such a calm, easy going boy with a super sweet laugh. He also joins my children in the "I love Crocs" club! I'd like to send a special thank you to his Uncle Bo, as he is responsible for all the smiles received in these images!

If you're reading this post in January and have been thinking about booking a session with us, think quickly to obtain the current rates! We will be announcing out new pricing soon! Thanks!

Roozen Family | Killeen Family Photographer

We truly do get to meet some of the nicest families through photography! I can't believe I haven't blogged about their session yet (at least I hope I haven't). These lovely pictures belong to the Roozen family. We met in Salado at the old schoolhouse and used the historical cabins next door. We had a characteristic crazy hot Texas heat to deal with but the kids did wonderfully and staying in the shade helped!

The Roozens are also one of our Military Appreciation Families that received free pictures as a thank you for military service. This program has been very popular this year and we are already filling up for next year. Next year will hold a few changes for the program. We will only be accepting one family a month but will take families for a waiting list in case we have spots open. Sessions will now be 30 minute minis with 10 images on a CD with print release. Additional images will be available and will include a military discount. Email normanphotography@ymail.com if you're interested in this program.

Guest Blogger S.M.A.R.T Zone Tutoring | Hosted by Norman Photography - Harker Heights Family Photographer

A month in to the school year, many of you may be noticing the initial excitement and anticipation of “back-to-school” beginning to wear off. With each new assignment, deadline, and test, many students start to experience increasing levels of stress, frustration, and anxiety, especially if they are not performing at the “desired” level. Whether you are the parent with a frustrated child who refuses to let you work with him or are a student who just isn’t grasping that new math concept, we, at S.M.A.R.T. Zone Tutoring, offer the help you need.

Who we are & how we started:

S.M.A.R.T. Zone Tutoring was started by Educational Outfitters and is a local, family owned and operated company. Educational Outfitters, owned by Cindy and Randy Schoel, provides educational materials to parents, teachers, homeschoolers, students, and schools in the community. For years, Educational Outfitters has served as a “match making service” between tutors and students and earlier this year decided to formally provide this service and opened S.M.A.R.T. Zone Tutoring. S.M.A.R.T. Zone Tutoring is operated by Stephanie (Schoel) Kelso, a former Killeen ISD student and teacher.

How we are unique:

*We offer S.M.A.R.T. : Science Math And Reading Tutoring for grades K-12. Yes, this includes first grade reading/writing & high school chemistry!

*All of our tutors are state certified teachers with classroom teaching experience. Our teachers know the objectives the students are responsible for, the struggles the students face, as well as how to implement countless teaching strategies for struggling students.

*We tutor in a safe, neutral location. We believe it is important to conduct our tutoring at our center, creating a neutral location away from the distractions of home and frustrations of school.

*We offer personalized private (one-on-one) and small group (2-4 students) tutoring. After conducting the initial consultation/assessment, the tutor creates a personalized plan of instruction based on the student’s strengths, weaknesses, and learning style(s). The tutor remains with the student for the course of his/her tutoring.

*No long-term contracts. We want to work so we are not needed…. whether that happens in 10 or 50 sessions, we don’t require you to sign up for a minimum number of sessions.

Benefits to tutoring:

It is common for all students to need additional assistance in one way or another throughout their education. Supplemental instruction and tutoring offers many benefits to students both in and out of the classroom.

Tutoring often can provide the following benefits to students:

· enhance academic performance

· increase confidence and self-esteem

· promote a positive view of subject, school, and education

· improve study skills and strategies

· allow students to ask questions and seek clarity

· supplement and reinforce classroom instruction

· lower dropout rates
