Newest Items!

Geez, time sure does fly!  I noticed I haven't posted anything to my Portrait Blog since last October and I've been using my Facebook Portrait Site for most of my updates.  But as I've said before, if you're anything like me, you probably don't see 90% of the posts for those friends and businesses you "like."

So, time to start finding time each week to highlight my best sessions, new items, and any great specials I'm promoting.  Hey, out of sight...out of mind, right?

So I'm really happy to introduce a new collage set that focuses mainly on family portraits and it's called Family Ties.  It has amazing quotes on it and a nice selection of openings for your favorite images.  Pretty neat, right?

And also for those of you who have girls, I fell in love with this memory book.  You can use if from one session or multiple sessions.  I have a few customers who have only girls and I can really see this as being a wonderful heirloom to give to them when they get older.  And the nice thing about my photobook pricing, duplicate albums are 1/2 price!

So stay tuned for more fun stuff!

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!

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.

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.

Pumpkin Palooza is Here - October 19th!

Fall is here and all things pumpkin are to be found everywhere around you.  But what better place than Bates Nut Farm?  I am planning my annual "Pumpkin Portrait Palooza" on Wednesday, October 19th. 

Why a Wednesday and not the weekend?  Because thousands flock to Bates Nut Farm every year and I would rather pick a day that is not as busy.  Trust me, I went on a weekend last year and there were about 500 cars in the parking lot and traffic was backed up horribly.

So what's my special all about, you ask.  I am offering a 40 minute session to be used with family, children, your dog (in costume if you like!), however you want to use your 40 minutes.  You receive all files including photographer's top three pick retouched for a price of $199.  What an incredible deal!  Hey, you would be paying $100 for the session alone.

Since there is limited availability that day, call right now to reserve your spot.  There are only 5 spots open at 2:30, 3:15, 4:00, 4:45 and 5:30 pm.  Once they're gone, they're gone!

And if you're wondering whose cute dog that is disguised as a pumpkin, it's my dog Willy!  Like I said, this can be a family affair.  And while you're out there, you can pick out your holiday pumpkins and shop inside their quaint store.  So much to do besides having your portrait taken!

Any questions, call Heidi at 760.739.9580.  We look forward to hearing from you.

Buy Your Old Files in the Month of April!

Yup, you heard it right.  During the month of April, I will be making your pre-2010 high resolution files available.  The price will be dependent upon how much you ordered from the session, how often you use Heidi for your photography needs, and the type of session.  But hey, how great would it be to be able to print up some of those other great shots you loved but passed on in the past?  Plus, many folks these days like having the files stored so they can share them with generations to come.

In the future, I will be offering sessions that include the files but to be fair, I am giving you all a chance to get some of your older files now.  Don't delay in calling Heidi because this offer is only good through the month of April.  And no, this isn't an April Fools!
