Much Deserved R&R (Referral and Rewards Programs)

We learned a long time ago that the most valuable and effective advertising is the genuine, sincere "word-of-mouth" advertising our satisfied clients provide when they tell their friends and family about their positive experience with us.  In recognition of the value your referrals add to our business, we have had a long standing referral program in place.  When your referral contacts us to schedule an appointment, we send you a gift certificate in appreciation for helping us spread the word.  That program will continue on, so please keep sending those referrals! 

We also realize that you have several choices when it comes to photography.  When you make the choice to come back to us, that should be rewarded as well and we are now doing so with our new Rewards Program.  When you return and use our services again, you will receive a $25 print credit.  The credit is awarded per paid session fee and can be applied as early as your second paid session with us.  Or, you can save your credits and combine them to use at a later session.  The choice is yours.  

We appreciate your choice to use our services and your willingness to tell others about us. Now, we are making sure your efforts are rewarded. Thank you!

We'll be back soon with the next installment in our Wedding Photography Q&A. 

Until then,

This Year’s Fall Promotion

You may recall that last Fall we offered a "Fall is for Families" promotion.  It was a huge success, and we met some wonderful families who loved our holiday card promotion.  This year, we are trying something a little different.  

In the month of October, Judianne will reach a milestone.  Even though she doesn't feel a day over 32 (Ha!), she will actually celebrate her 40th birthday!  You are invited to share in the celebration with our "40 is Fabulous!" promotion. 

During the month of October, any photo card or double-sided postcard purchase will be 40% off the retail price.  (Folded greeting cards are excluded from this promotion; all other charges apply.)  This is a great time to order your holiday cards.  Don't worry, you don't need to have your photo session in October.  We will design cards using any portraits we have taken for you during the year.  Contact us for more information.

Awesome New Senior Portrait Location – Want to Try It??

We recently discovered a new location that we think has loads of potential to be a really great backdrop for senior portraits.  It’s the remains of an old mill, and it’s got all kinds of character.  Here are a few snapshots to help you visualize it. 







In addition to the mill, there is an old railroad warehouse nearby.  The owners of the warehouse have graciously given us permission to use the exterior of the building for a backdrop during portrait sessions.  We are so grateful and so excited!

Do you want something different for your senior portraits?  Are you willing to try something new?

If so, call us.  The first senior who is willing to work with us at this new location and explore all that it has to offer will be rewarded!  Contact us today for more information.

Fall is for Families!

It’s hard to believe that August will arrive a week from today.  That’s just crazy!  Let’s hope that the weather finally dries out and we are able to enjoy some beautiful summer weather next month. 

While we certainly are not wishing away the time, we are already looking beyond August and into September and October.  Fall is a great time of year for family photos.  Because it is so close to the holidays, pictures taken now can be used to make great holiday cards. 

If you want to get a jump start on everything you have to do this holiday season, book your family photo session now.  Why now?  For any family sessions scheduled between September 2^nd and October 19^th, you will receive one free set (25 cards) of 4x8 custom designed holiday cards.  (Minimum purchase and all other charges apply.) 

Contact us today to schedule your session and take advantage of this great opportunity to get your holidays card done early this year!
