2013 Holiday Portrait Special Announced!

So, many of you are probably wondering why I haven't posted my Holiday Portrait Special yet.  Every year I have had a special package from October 1st through November 15th, but this year my October is extremely busy with weddings, corporate work, and high school seniors so I haven't had any time for family photographs.

Well then, you ask, what are you going to do Heidi?  I'm going to offer my Annual Holiday Portrait Special from November 1st through the 26th this year and I'm giving you THREE options.  Since there is no such thing as one size fits all, I wanted to give my favorite clients a choice that would best fit their needs.

Without any further fanfare, here they are...

30 Minute Session plus 25 Boutique Holiday Cards:  $100.00

or

30 Minute Session plus One Retouched High Resolution File:  $125

or

30 Minute session plus All Unretouched High Resolution Files:  $300

I will be offering these specials at different sites here in the San Diego area.  Call me so we can customize your session and location to make it an incredible photo session.  And don't forget to tell your friends!  They will love you for helping them find a good photographer.  Hey, a good photographer is like finding a good hair stylist or dentist, don't you think?  Thanks to all of you who have helped keep me in business for all these years!

2013 Holiday Family Portrait Contest!

So for those of you who have been following my family portrait special every Fall, you know I try to do something a little different to shake things up.  I hate it when you go to the same place, year after year, and you get the exact same thing.  That's why restaurants change out their menus and why I try to pull in a theme that a majority of my clientele will like.  So this year I decided to let you, my favorite clients, show me what you think would make a great theme!

In the past I have offered a "Couch in a Field" session (big seller!), a chalkboard session, and a vintage session.  I've been cruising Pinterest, looking for some inspiration, but decided maybe it's time for me to put this decision into your hands.  So, if you can find a photo of an idea or theme that you think would be great for this year's special, please email it to me at heidi@asliceoflifephoto.com.  I will collect the top six images, post them on Facebook, and let everyone vote on which one is the best.  Also, you must enter your email in the "Follow By Email" section of my blog in the top left hand corner.  The person who submitted this image will win a framed 16x20 from their session, a $300 value!

So hurry up and find something fun, unique and doable.  Submittals must be made by September 30th, and images will be posted by October 6th.  This year's special will run from November 1st through the 26th, so if you have any suggestions on what you would like as a package, let me know!

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.

Annual Holiday Portrait Special....drumroll pleeeease!

Yup, it's that time of year again.  With this extremely hot weather we are having late into our summer, it's hard to conceive that fall is right around the corner and soon enough the holidays will follow.  As promised, I always do my holiday portrait special from October 1st through November 15th.  So as I was sitting here contemplating what I should offer this year, I went back and forth on what all of you would enjoy the most.  (besides cooler weather!)  And without further ado, here it is!

30 Minute Local Family Portrait Session

**plus**

either a 12x12 or 11x14 collage

$150 weekdays

$175 weekends

(regularly $225)

Since collages are my newest big seller, and I have a huge selection of templates to choose from, I thought this would be new and different.  Now you can select several of your favorite images and I will custom design a beautiful work of art to display on your wall!  You can view my collage templates at http://www.bluemelon.com/sliceoflife, just click on "custom collages."

You are always welcome to upgrade your package to a larger collage, add on holiday cards (or purchase a custom designed holiday card file to print your own), and/or order more photographs as gifts for family & friends.  Hey, you know me, I'm totally flexible!

So please make sure to call me and book your appointment soon.  There will be a limited number of sessions available and once November 15th passes, this special will be over.  In the meantime, keep cool and enjoy our San Diego weather!

Holiday Special Unveiled!!

I know that a lot of you have been waiting to hear what this year's special will be...drumroll please!  After careful consideration and talking with some of my customers, I am offering a 30 minute local session and one custom designed holiday card jpeg file for a low price of $89.  You can then have your card printed wherever you choose!  Would rather have me print your cards?  No problem!  I've discounted my holiday card prices for those clients who take advantage of my special.

For a surcharge, you can also have me design double sided cards, folded cards, and more.  I've uploaded a sample from one of my past designs to show you a 5x5 trifold card.  There are so many possibilities out there that I don't like lumping everyone into a "one size fits all" special.  So if you are interested, call to set up your session as soon as possible.  There are limited sessions available and they must be paid upon booking.  The special lasts from October 1st through November 17th.

Holiday Portrait Special for 2010!

You've been waiting all year for it...so without further ado I am presenting my 2010 Holiday Portrait Special. This year we're doing things a little different. I am including a 20 minute session and an 8x12 file of your choice for an unbelievable price of only $125. You can use this file to make your own Holiday Cards and/or to make prints up to 8x12" in size. But there's a hitch! There are only 10 different dates and 40 openings available for this special and when those slots are gone, they're gone! So if you've been looking to update your family photograph, now is the time to call.
