March Mini Madness

February 26, 2010

Well, here we are, only a few short days away from the start of March. I know, I can’t believe it either! Anyway, I thought it would be fun to run a crazy special deal on mini sessions in March.  Hence the name, March Mini Madness. So here’s the deal, I am opening 4 spots (yes you read that right, only 4, so hurry, they’ll fill fast!) of 1/2 hour mini sessions. But, these sessions will be different then past mini’s, because I won’t be doing them all in one day, you will have your choice of date and location. I know, woo-hoo…right? So basically, it will be just like a normal session except only 1/2 hour long and you’ll get 10 edited proofs instead of 20. The cost will be $150 which includes your session fee and 20 – 5×7 prints. (Basically all your proofs, in both color and b&w) And there will be no minimum order requirements. So seriously, this will be the best deal of the year, don’t pass this up, book yours today!

The fine print, these sessions must take place in March. They may not be used for newborn sessions or groups larger than 4 people. Your session location must be 30 minutes or less from Thompson, CT.

Head-shots with Steph

February 24, 2010

Yesterday I had a fun mini session with my friend Steph to create some fun head-shots. Steph is preparing to open her new business and she wanted some fun shots to use in her promo pieces. (More info about her cool new business coming soon.) So, I dragged her outside in the freezing cold wind & snow but she was a total trooper. (No pun intended, Steph! LOL!) Thanks for a fun afternoon, here’s a sneak peek for now. I’ll be in touch with the rest soon. Enjoy!

Here’s a couple pictures of my little guy this afternoon on his favorite big wheel. We are enjoying the nice weather while it lasts. Hope you got a chance to do the same! Have a great rest of your day!

Referral Rewards

February 19, 2010

I love referrals!

My business has been built strictly on word of mouth. I haven’t advertised and honestly prefer not to. My clients are truly my best advertisement. That being said, I’d like to thank you for helping me grow my business. Every time you refer a friend you will receive a $50 gift certificate*. (Gift certificate will be awarded upon completion of referred session.) And there is no limit to this offer, so please refer away!

*Gift certificates will be valid for one year from date of issue. Not valid on session  fees – may only be used to purchase prints and/or products.

As I type this on a dreary, snowy morning, I know it’s hard to believe, but spring is  just around the corner.  I wanted to take this time to remind you all  that I am currently booking April & May sessions. As a matter of fact, April is filling up super fast already. (I only have 4 spots left.) So if you are hoping for a spring session this year please contact me soon.  And because you know I can’t post without a picture, here’s one more of the sweet Miss. E. Enjoy and have a great day!

Miss. E {9 Months}

February 15, 2010

This morning I had a fun session with the adorable 9 month old – Miss. E. What a cutie pie! We had a great in-home session. During these winter months, we are forced indoors but there is no reason we can’t still have a great session! I brought my standard backdrops and props so we could do some classic shots but then we mixed it up and did some fun shots in both the nursery and mom & dad’s bedroom. When I mention the idea of shooting in parent’s rooms I often get funny looks, resistant etc… But honestly, it make s a perfect backdrop for natural family shots. And today was no exception, I got some awesome shots of this sweet family on the their master bed. Thanks guys for a great session. Enjoy your sneak peek, can’t wait to show you the rest!

Here is one of the shots I was going on about above. Don’t you just LOVE this!
(Hopefully now I won’t get resistance when I mention the idea of using the master bed. LOL!)

This shot was with my backdrop and props. I LOVE the angelic look on her face.

And yes, Miss E is cousins with Miss. S.  I know, all this cuteness in one family, can you stand it? LOL!

Mine on Monday {2/15/10}

February 15, 2010

Good Monday morning everyone! Hope you all enjoyed a Happy Valentine’s Day yesterday. Here’s a picture of Allie in her new “big girl” bed. She’s just loving it! So I thought it would be a good idea to document this milestone for her. Seems like just yesterday, I was moving her from the bassinet to her crib. Where oh where does the time go??? Hope you all have a great day. I know I will. I am off to photograph a sweet 9 month old baby girl this morning. So stay tuned for the sneak peek.

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Happy Valentine’s Day everyone! Hope you are all spending the day with the ones you love. I will be. (I even have a date with my hubby today! Woohoo!) But before I rush off, I wanted to announce the winner of the “spread the love contest”. Thanks to all those who entered. The winner is: JoAnne Lambert. Congratulations JoAnne, I’ll be in touch with your gift certificate very soon!

I am also very excited to share an awesome promo video that my friend Adam of Seriously Addicted Pictures put together for me. (Thanks Adam, you rock!) It’s a behind the scenes look at what a couples session is like. And being Valentine’s Day and all, it only seemed fitting to reveal it today. So please, take a peak and even leave a comment. I’d love to know what you think.
Have a great day! Enjoy!

So, please tell everyone you know, post on Facebook, Tweet etc… about this fun opportunity because the more people who enter the more chances you have to win.. To enter* you simply need to leave a comment below stating where or how you “spread the love”.
