♥ Limited Edition Hugs-N-Kisses! ♥

Yep, Valentine portraits! What could be more fun?! Valentine's to me are a bright and cheery way to let me know that Spring is right around the corner. And we all know we could use a little sunshine and warmer weather! (and a little love!)

Limited Edition Hugs-N-Kisses Valentine Portraits
Thursday, Friday and Saturday

• Black Friday is BACK!!!!! •

Everyone loves the rush on Black Friday, including me! I used to get up every Black Friday and make my trip to Wal Mart for those 5 a.m. special deals.....in my sweats and ball cap. ;o) The excitement has dwindled a bit with age as I don't like fighting for Tickle Me Elmos, or getting my heels run over by someone else's cart trying to grab the last of the $300 laptops. So, this year I'm having another special that you can take advantage of from the comfort of your home. You don't have to get up at 6 a.m., spend gas money to travel to some big fancy department store, or fight the crowd to get the last good deal. This sale was CRAZY last year!! Lots of people took advantage of the major savings!

Here's my Black Friday special: Beginning at 12:01 a.m. and ending at 12 midnight on Friday, November 27th, *EVERY* portrait order placed with the studio (either by phone or e-mail) will be eligible to completely double your order FOR FREE! That's right..... DOUBLE. FREE! All orders must be paid for by Monday, either by dropping your payment by the studio thru the drop slot, or by paying over the phone with your credit or debit card. No exceptions. *EVERY ORDER*.... wether you purchase 8 wallets or our Elite Portrait Package worth over $300. It's automatically doubled! Now's the time to purchase the prints you've been wanting and have extra to give away to family and friends. FREE! Seniors.... this is an awesome deal for you too. A great way to get those extra wallets mom and dad can't afford with budget crunches. Now you can get them free!!!! The sky's the limit!!!

*Eligible orders include past sessions (you may reorder), current sessions, and sessions that are still waiting to be posted online. Purchase yourself a gift certificate and prepay and you will receive the double prints when you complete your order after your gallery has posted. All gift certificate purchases for this special must be used by December 31, 2009.

*(This special does not apply to Limited Edition Winter Wonderland portraits, holiday cards or graduation announcements.)
Should you choose to e-mail your order to the studio on Black Friday, I will contact you within 24-48 hours to complete your payment. If payment has not been made for your Black Friday deal within that time frame, your e-mail order will not be eligible for double prints.

♥ Americana Limited Edition ♥

We'll be having Americana Limited Edition Portraits through the week of July 21-25th. This is sure to be a special session. What could be more American than Baseball, Hotdogs, Apple Pie and Chevrolet? Okay, so we're not having pie or hotdogs, but Old Glory will be involved, an antique Chevy, baseball, and teddy bears. :o) You won't want to miss this one! Call, e-mail or stop by the studio to schedule your session. Pick a day and time that is convenient for your lifestyle. :o) We'll be shooting Tuesday thru Saturday, no sitting fees, mini sessions, and special pricing for packages is available! See you soon!

This will be tied into the denim days we were planning, so bring the kiddos in their denim or khaki, plain shirts, or we have a small wardrobe closet with overalls and denim now! Remember the bare feet too! This Limited Edition set promises to be the best yet!

• New Limited Edition Sessions •

Our Limited Edition Mommy-n-Me portraits was a big success. I hope everyone enjoyed their time with the kids for their holiday. :o) Our next Limited Edition specials coming up will be:

• Denim Days (overalls and teddy bears!)
• Father's Day
• Fun in the Sun (think sandy beaches!)
• 4th of July (everyone knows nothing is more American than baseball hotdogs apple pie and Chevrolets)

You're gonna love the new themed portraits at discount pricing. I'm also building the new 'wardrobe closet' with costumes so if you don't have just the right outfit, you'll be able to find it at the studio! :o)

See you soon for Denim Days!

• FRIDAY FRENZY •
