Raindrops Keep Fallin' on my Photoshop!

Anyone who knows me knows that I love anything different.  I always like to be the first in the area to offer cool new products to my clients.  So when I saw these amazing graphics that could add "rain" to any photograph, I hopped on it.  (No pun intended since my last name is Hopp.)

Here is a before & after of an image using this Photoshop graphic.  To see it larger and better, just click on the image.  I will be offering this special effect as one of my "H Series" upgrades.  Now if we could only get it to actually rain here in San Diego, wouldn't that be nice?

20% off Metal Shapes or Holiday Cards in October !

I've had such wonderful compliments on the metal shapes I offer that I decided to do a special this month.  Order any photograph taken by me and have it printed on one of many different offered shapes & sizes, and receive 20% off.  There are no limits!  Metal shapes can be made with either our beehive, easel or stand out mounts.

Your order must be placed and paid for by October 26th to get the 20% discount.  Regular prices for these cool looking metal shapes can be viewed and/or printed out from my website at www.asliceoflifephoto.com.  Just click on RATES, go to "family/children pricing," and click on the price list link.

There are many different size and cutout options and I have samples if you want to come by and look at them.  What a great holiday gift whether for yourself or a family member!

And speaking of the holidays, we are also offering 20% off holiday cards that are ordered and paid for by October 26th.  Yup, I know what you're thinking, isn't is waaaaaaay too early to order holiday cards?  But wouldn't it be great to have a couple of weeks in November to address all your cards and have them sent out by December 1st?  You would be the envy of all your friends & family, I promise!  They would think of you as being so organized, and hey, that's why I'm there to help.  I like making you look good!  Check out my HUGE assortment of December Holiday Card templates at www.bluemelon.com/sliceoflife.

Pumpkin Patch Special !

Because my clients loved the pumpkin patch photographs I took the last two years at Bates Nut Farm, I'm doing it again this year.  But you'll love this one even more because I'm including the high resolution files as part of the package.  What could be better?

There are a very limited amount of appointments available, so if you want to take advantage of this special, you better call today to reserve your spot.  The dates I am offering this special are:

• Sunday, October 7th..............$300
• Tuesday, October 16th...........$225
• Wednesday, October 17th......$225

The special includes 30 minutes of photography and the unretouched high resolution files from the session.  You can use these images for printing up to 8x12 prints, holiday cards, and uploading to your Facebook page or other computer sites.  If you're interested, call Heidi at 760.739.9580.

The Pumpkin Patch will be open
9:00 a.m. - 5:30 p.m. weekdays
and 8:30 a.m. - 6:00 p.m. Weekends

Make sure you don't miss future posts!

Enter your email address in the box to the left under "follow by email" and you will receive an email letting you know each time I post something.  You can't rely on Facebook to see my specials, so this would be a sure way to know what's happening.  And I only post about once a month, so don't worry about getting spammed!

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!
