Don't forget about the WHITE SALE GOING ON.........Scroll down to read all about it! Click on the image and it will enlarge for better reading.

The ...................... is ending.................

Can you believe.............the year is ending the year is ending the year is ending!!!!!!!!

WOW where did 2007 go? I don't know about all of you but I am looking forward to 2008! I love the beginning of a new year and all the new possibilities!

All of these gorgeous Seniors I have photographed so far will be graduating high school in just 5 months! WOW ..... off to college they go, out from under their Mom and Dads roof and finding out who they are and how much they really do love their parents and miss all the things that were done for them! But also realizing how much fun it is to learn and grow through all of their new experiences!

May all of your new experiences bring your dreams one step closer!

Enjoy the New Year! I hope to see you all soon!

MODELS WANTED

When ever doing new promotions I like to do a few "samples" ahead of time so I can use in advertising and also here on the blog!

Let me know if your child / children would like to be my model for the upcoming promotions! You get more time in front of the camera, no deposit required and ummmm....something special!

This is how it works....existing clients have first opportunity to be models BUT you have to get a friend, family or foe to book a session for the promo!

I have a list started and ideas tumbeling around in my holiday crazed mind!

EMAIL ME!

Reference: Models Wanted

gwenphoto@sbcglobal.net

WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE?

What kind of promotions would you like to see for the new year? Give me your opinions and idea's....I am always looking to make my clients happy so throw them out at me and lets see if it will work or not!

HOLIDAY NEWS

Can you believe Christmas will be here in 15 days! WOW

As many of my "regulars" have noticed on the blog, I have been absent in posting! I am so sorry. I do have tons of new clients that haven't had the privilege of being "famous" and I will try to get caught up on that as soon as I get "caught up"!

If you haven't placed your holiday orders, don't be surprised if there is a rush fee and/or shipping charges! There are only 9 business days left and I can only push things so fast! I can tell you that if your order is not placed by this Thursday, it will be by chance and chance only that you will get it in time!

HOLIDAY SCHEDULE:

I will be "closed" from Friday, December 21st through Wednesday, December 26th. Don't worry, I wont leave you hanging.....IF you have an order to be picked up prior to Christmas, you will be called to set a time for pick up.

PRICING CHANGES:

Please be informed that the new year of pricing will go into effect starting December 21st, 2007. But don't worry.....super promotions are scheduled for the New Year as well as a NEW DISCOUNT being offered! Get 15% off your total order when you place your order at the time of your scheduled showing!!!!!!! That is right, you can instantly get 15% off your total just by ordering at your scheduled showing!

THANK YOU

This comes from the deepest part of my heart....thanks to everyone for their well wishes and prayers for my Mom and Me. We are still waiting on information from the biopsy and will probably have a surgery done before we really have any answers.

ALSO

Thank you for being such awesome customers! I have truly enjoyed getting to know all of you throughout 2007 and look forward to the new year with you and those that I have yet to meet.

PROMOTIONS

Keep an eye on the blog...........lots of fun kids promotions coming in the new year ... starting with "TOUGH LOVE" for Valentines Day. And Ladies.......don't forget to schedule a session for yourself on another day!

Also in the works is some TWEEN DAYS! I am a firm believer that you should not forget these kids! Isn't it funny how when our children are small we get tons of pictures but then they get a bit older and we forget about it until they are Seniors in High School? Our kids change so much, we are missing out on so much and the perfect opportunity to boost their self esteem! It is tough being a tween / teen and they need to feel special, handsome and beautiful. So keep an eye out on this for some Mini Sessions for Tweens!

Oh there is going to be so much more.......

Don't forget the WHITE SALE in January!!!!!!!!!!!! (see below!)

Until I get my head above water.......

I just wanted to share an image of ME that was photographed by a very dear friend of mine while in Eureka Springs, AR this past weekend. I of course had to do my very own version of "TRASH THE DRESS"! I hope you enjoy!


My photography conference was a total blast and man do I have some fun new things to try in the studio! I love attending schools and conferences and learning from some of the best photographers in the US!

DECK THE HALLS.........the holidays are fast approaching....you have until November 1st to get the discount on your holiday cards! Details below!

The Syers Family






What an awesome family to work with! One of the 5 might look a bit familiar ... that is because he is one of "my" Josh's! I love photographing my Seniors Families!




Why is it that people do not do Family Portraits sooner? Kids grow up so fast and before you know it they are on their way out of your home!




This should be a great reminder for all of those reading this that the Holiday's are coming and you really need to get your appointments booked because times are filling up!

Ember & Rhiannan



Look at these faces, are they not two of the sweetest faces you have seen? They were both total hams! Thanks girls for being so good!
