Just a quick note to let all interested customers (new & past), that we will be offering 25% off all sitting fees for the entire month of February! If you’ve been thinking about getting some portraits or headshots done but haven’t, this will be a great time to take advantage of yet another special offer!

Studio sitting fees are normally priced at $85+tax, whereas local on location shoots are normally priced at $150+tax ….. you can take an additional 25% off of these prices, and we are also happy to offer free online viewing/ordering for all sessions. To sweetin’ the pot, we will honor a 50% discount to anyone that refers a friend or family member for a shoot as well. Can we make this any easier!!!???

We recently had a lot of success with our 50% off print sale, and were glad to see so many take advantage of such a limited time fantastic deal….. we hope there will be just as many that take advantage of this as well!

This week must have flown by – I almost forgot to post the new photo of the week! I rushed a bit on this week’s photo, but thought this one would be a fun one to share. It’s amazing sometimes, how opportunities sorta present themselves when you are least expecting them. This photo was taken a couple years ago at a wedding we were shooting. I remember trying to take family portraits with the bride, yet couldn’t stop looking at these two kids playing around in an old vintage 1950′s Packard behind me (for those that know what they are). Anyway, I decided to quickly take my attention away from the bride for two seconds to snap one quick photo, and this was the final outcome.

What makes it interesting, is that the kid holding the bottle almost had the Pepsi logo perfectly facing me, in so a way that you’d think the photo was staged. I actually sent it to Pepsi for fun, and got great feedback as they loved the photo, but were not allowed to use it as they have to use certain photographers for their products that are under contract… oh well!

Anyway, this is one of my favorites, that without a doubt reminds me of how fun it was to be a kid, and not have a care in the world (would be nice to go back sometimes!) Anyway, I hope you all enjoy it as much as I do. Be sure to check back soon for more updates – we are hoping to have another album preview completed this week for those that are interested. Enjoy the weekend, everyone!

P.S. Unlike the other “photos of the week,” this one’s not for sale…. I just wanted to share this one :)

We had a lot of fun last September with Brian & Jen, and being able to capture their big day. Brian and Jen are from Chicago, so it was a little tricky trying to make sure all the details were in line over the phone, rather than in person….. of course things went just fine, and they had a beautiful ceremony and reception!

Anyway, we are pleased to have completed Brian and Jen’s album, and look forward to getting it to them as soon as possible…. (after they approve and/or make edits of course :) This is going to look awesome in the 10X10 plush leather album they selected to go with!

Check out a sample of their album below!

We are always doing as much as possible with our business to “think outside the box,” (or make it bigger as they say). I’m really excited, as we’ve recently added some cool new features/products to all online viewing/ordering events from those that have had recent shoots or weddings. We will continue to offer these options on all upcoming events, and are even adding more in the very near future! Here are some of the options that you will now see in an online event such as a wedding:

• Print selections of various sizes (already there :)
• Gift Certificates in various amounts to be used on any item in the online store
• An option to purchase a 4X6 print bundle of an entire event (for bride & groom)
• Pre-Loaded 17″ or 19″ digital picture frames with 100 of your favorite images (everything you need to mount on the wall)
• Master DVD options in various sizes to purchase originals
• DVD Slideshows with music
• Custom deck of playing cards with photo of choice

What makes it nice (and different from before), is that you can purchase any of these options, conveniently along with your prints with your credit/debit card if you like. We will also be adding more items such as parent/family album options, as well as more pre-loaded, digital picture frames in the near future. You can check out these new options simply by logging into your event and clicking on the “Products” option at the bottom of the event. As always, check back soon for more updates!
