REMINDER

Portrait specials are dictated by the labs. I'm reminding all of you that the standard portrait special (traditional finishes) will end with the month of March and the canvas special will end with the month of April. If you have been considering a larger portrait or smaller reprints of a favorite, this is the time to take advantage. Just to remind you as well - - - I do offer a lay away program for purchases over $300.

We are getting all positive feed back with the way we are setting up the originals for viewing. For those of you who haven't been in the studio for a while - - - we are uploading the originals to our website for viewing. Anyone you want to give the password to is allowed to view. You can put two side by side to compare; there is a magnifying glass for going in close for detail; you can view them in black and white, color or sepia. The benefits go on and on. You can also order directly from the site or, as most of you prefer, you can call or email me your order. That is the best way if you have specific instructions or questions.
I'm very excited about this change and after talking with my clients - - - you are too! Thanks for the feed back on this.

BEACH PORTRAITS 2009

Many of you have asked when we will be going to Florida to work. We are gearing up for a trip to the Destin; SanDestin; Seaside area (and others in between) this summer. At this time we are looking at mid June.

As you all may know, we have to schedule out clients early as I must have at least three during a week. Our deposit this year will increase slightly, however, every dime of your deposit is applied to your session and purchase.

Please give the studio a call as soon as you know your dates for this event.

PORTRAIT SPECIALS

This is just a reminder to all of my clients regarding the portrait specials. Our time will be up in about six weeks to get those great prices (half price in some cases) from the lab. Right now they are offering the large portrait special pricing (from 16x20 and above) on canvas. This is offered only once a year and the time is here if you have been waiting for this opportunity.

Super Bowl Sunday

Today I have decided to take the day off. Tim and I are working on some things around the house and then headed to the kid's house to watch Arizona win.
GO ARIZONA!

I had a great session yesterday with the Hickerson family and will go in to post some of their photos from this session and their newborn session tomorrow. You will fall in love with Shelby.

Have a wonderful rest of the weekend.

Other Art

I just thought I would take a minute to post a couple of other art items for your viewing. I would welcome your thoughts on some of these. Thanks.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Our New Year Comes in Strong

I must say that 2009 has come in with a pop. Notice I didn't say "bang", but it is stronger than my January normally. This is a good thing.


I want to let everyone know that I'm now posting all of my previews from my web site. I wish I had done this earlier, but I'm never sure about change - - - for me or my clients. You all seem to love it so the days of the slide show being mailed are now out. This is allowing me a faster way for you to see your images and there are so many viewing options that the slide show didn't offer. Thanks for letting me know how you feel about this!





As many of you know, I'm doing a bit more of my fine art sales. I've been fortunate to sell a few images the past couple of years and I'll share a few with you. The one I'm sharing today is:


"The Ghost of Brush Creek". I love shooting fog and I was out doing just that. I took this photograph, but didn't realize until I was processing it that there was a boat with a dog on the front and a man in the photograph. Neat huh? I've sold three of this image. I hope this site does it justice. Bigger is ALWAYS better!

Happy New Year!

I hope each and every one of you have a healthy, happy and prosperous 2009. Thank you all for your continued business and support.

As always, I'd like to hear from any of you who would like to offer new ideas for products in the studio. Is there something you have seen elsewhere and would like me to offer in studio? Let me know.

Books: We are now offering a book with paper pages. This book costs us less to produce so it is less to you as well. We waited to offer this book because we wanted to find one that offers the quality you have come to expect from us. We found one and it is wonderful.

Merry Christmas!

Can you believe how long since my last post? The studio has been very busy and that is a great thing, but it has caused this span between posts. We've had a great holiday season and we have taken lots and lots of photographs from Nashville to Kansas City.

I am currently wrapping up necessary deliveries and will take a few days off. I'll then get right in here and begin posting again. I have a lot to share with you!

I want to thank all of you for your continued business and support. I appreciate each and every one of you. I want to wish everyone a very, very Merry Christmas and a healthy and prosperous New Year.

THE END!

I thought this was appropriate to end this series of blog posts!!! Have a great day.

I spent several days at convention. It was wonderful, but tiring and it is good to be back in the studio.
I decided to post a couple of my sessions and hoped you would enjoy the fun ones.

These clients have been coming to me for many years and I want to thank them and all of my clients for their loyalty to me and the studio.

ENJOY!
