Introducing our "Belladonna" Newborn Package

It was bound to happen.  I have been creating so many beautiful albums for my high school senior clients that I had to find the perfect design for recording "baby's first year."  I finally did!  It's a chalkboard design and features 30 images to be cherished by generations to come.

There are areas for to you write personal information about your new family member, something that he or she will absolutely love when they are older.  It documents so many important times during that first year and creates a perfect family heirloom.

My Belladonna Package includes five one hour sessions (newborn, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months and one year,) plus a 10x10 album for the great price of  $1000, that's a savings of $350!  Just check out how cute this album is below:

Look...Newest Items!

Anyone who knows me, knows that I love finding new products to offer my clientele.  So I'm super excited to announce the arrival of Bamboo Shadow Boxes with Metal Prints & Wall Sized Metal Curves.  I'm including photos of both so you can get a better idea of what they look like.  The bamboo shadow boxes come in 4x4, 5x5, and 6x6 sizes and include a metal print.  They are made with sustainable bamboo in either light or dark wood.  If you want any pricing info or have any questions, just give me a buzz.  And I'll continue to my search for awesome things to show off your family photos!

Love Your Real Estate Professional...In April!

Lately I've been buzzing around my home doing projects that I've been putting off for years now.  You know those type of things...projects that are nice to have but aren't "MUST BE DONE RIGHT NOW."  It started me thinking how that is with most people and their professional portraits.  Yup, you might need a new headshot, whether for business, social media or even a dating site.  But hey, you've got one from 10 years ago that will suit you just fine, right?

Time to find a reason to do it now and I have the perfect excuse.  I'm promoting a great "LOVE YOUR..." business portrait special that will save you 35%, and the best part is, you get to have the high resolution file to do with what you want.  Make prints for friends & family, use for a website, social media, WHATEVER!!!

Normally $100, you can get a 20 minute session, online viewing of your best images, and one high resolution retouched jpeg file of choice for only $65!  And your file is personally retouched by me.  You may find a few people out there who can offer a little cheaper but I'm sure that any retouching done is minimal, if any.  Check out my sample below to see what a before & after is.  (If you click on it, you can see it larger.)

But there is a catch, I have a different category for each month and sessions must be booked on either a Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday.

• April:  Real Estate & Related Professionals
• May:  Banking Industry
• June:  Medial Professionals
• July:  Corporate Professionals
• August:  Social Media
• September:  Beauty & Health Professionals

So call Heidi at 760-739-9580 to schedule your session today!

One Day Only! Chalkboard Sessions at the Park

So a couple of years ago I did a one day only "Couch in a Field" sessions on a Sunday with special pricing.  It went over very well and I've been asked if I plan to do anything like that again.  So I put on my thinking cap and decided it's time to do "Chalkboard Sessions."  What's this, you ask.  Well as the saying goes, a picture is worth 1,000 words.  Here's a sample:

 So when will this be, you ask?  We've designated Sunday, April 28th for this amazing special.  And what we're offering is a 20 minute session plus all high resolution files for only $175.  But space is limited, so call today to reserve your spot.  And if you don't like having a chalkboard in every photograph, no worries.  We're easy!  Call Heidi at 760-739-9580 to make your appointment.

Best Photobombs of 2012!

Definition of a Photobomb:

(verb) - to spoil a photograph of (a person or thing) by unexpectedly appearing in the camera’s field of view as the picture is taken, typically as a prank or practical joke.

(noun) - An otherwise normal photo that has been ruined or spoiled by someone who was not supposed to be in the photograph.

Yup, we've all seen them.  In fact, we've all been part of them too.  You know, someone is getting ready to take a photograph of you and your friends and then suddenly at the last second, some wiseguy jumps in and takes the focus off you and puts it on them.  They can be funny, they can be annoying.  But when animals get into the mix, they can be hysterical!!  So here is my New Year's gift of Heidi's favorite photobombs of 2012.

The Lee Family

Yup, I found another great spot for portraits.  I met the Lee Family out there recently and we got some great family photographs.  Angela really likes the more traditional portraits so this background made for some nice pictures.  I'm thinking of having a one day only special at this site so I'll let everyone know more when I find out when I plan on doing this.  Anyhow, here are some of my favorite images from the session.

New Year's Baby Contest!

With New Year's just around the corner, I started to think about babies.  Yup, you heard it right, babies.  You know, the image of the New Year's Baby wearing a diaper, sash and top hat.  That got me to thinking that maybe it's time to look at my newborn packages and see what worked and what clients were wanting these days.

So without much ado, you can view and/or download my new price list on my website at www.asliceoflifephoto.com.  Just click on RATES and then BABIES & BELLIES.  It's as simple as that.  And if having new better pricing wasn't wonderful enough, I'm having a contest in honor of 2013:

THE FIRST NEWBORN SESSION TO BOOK WITH A SLICE OF LIFE PHOTOGRAPHY BETWEEN JANUARY 1ST AND JANUARY 10TH WILL RECEIVE $200.13 IN FREE PRINT CREDIT.  Newborn must be between the ages of newborn and 10 days old to qualify.

So let all your expectant friends know about my contest.  And I wish all of you and your families a wonderful and joyous holiday season!
