Exclusive for the class of 2011

...you will not read about this on our website till later in the week but since you're here, this is the big news. We've always believed you should be able to make your portrait decision in the comfort of your home at 2:00 a.m. in your jammies if you wanted to. Unlike most studio, we don't make you sit here and decide which ones you want to order from. But now here's a new twist...through a special arrangement with our lab in Kansas City, we're offering the new Image Book preview system for the first group of seniors we photograph. An elegant 5x7 book with all of your images that fits nicely in your pocket or a purse so you can show your friends but more importantly so you can look at your session without having to have a computer on you (even with a netbook it's a challenge). The deal we got is a trial offer so I don't know how long we'll be able to do it...hopefully all summer but ya never know about these things. If you'd like to get your images in the new Image Book, jump on the phone and be photographed in June. I know we've got them through the end of June and hopefully longer but just to be safe, get on the phone now. Oh...nearly forgot, if you're going to come in in June to get the Image Book offer, you'll want to take advantage of the One Day Sale where you can get 75% off our most popular session. Sell the post below this one for details.

Big News For The Class Of 2011

Okay...as promised, here it is and since you're on our blog, you'll be the first to know. Number one, our Senior Portrait One Day Sale starts at 9:00 a.m. sharp on April 23rd. If you don't know what this is, it's huge. Last year the initial dates sold out in under an hour so we started offering sessions on the next event and it sold out...by the end of the day over 60% of our summer sessions were gone and the phones were still ringing.

So...Friday morning, April 23rd call early, the phones will be nuts but keep trying because it's the only day of the year that you can get 75% off our most popular session. Click here to visit the special offer page in the senior section of our website where you'll get more details.

Now about that second big announcement...You'll have to tune in tomorrow for that one:)

It's Fishing Time...


Not to leave our little boys out of the fun, we'll have two days of fun down at the secret fishing place where you're guaranteed to catch something and have a fun time too. It's a Storytime Portrait event so special prices are in effect for sessions done on these two days but because Pettiskirts & Tutus are booking during the same two days, you need to call early to get a spot before it's all sold out. Details are here

Pettiskirts & Tutus


Okay, it's time to have some fun, so Mom, break out the pettiskirts or tutus and make an appointment for your little girl to come play during our Pettiskirts & Tutus spring portrait event. It's just two day so it will sell out fast but oh what fun she will have. This is the stuff childhood memories are made of. Just $39 reserves your spot...details are here

Tuesday's Child...


...is full of grace. For three days only, April 6th, 7th & 8th, we're featuring our "Tuesday's Child" portrait session (regularly $59) for just $19. Go for the clean, white look or add you favorite Bible verse at no extra charge. Storytime Collections will be available for sessions done on these dates or you can design your own but because there are only three shooting days available, space is extremely limited, so call right away if you want a spot. Makes a great Mothers Day or Fathers Day gift. Click here for more details:

Silly Hats


One of the fun things we get to do in baby's first year is a fun little print called Silly Hats and it's all about expressions and is usually done at the end of the 9 month session. If you want to see what happens if you wait too long, just look at the one right below this post...yes, David definitely waited too long. So mom's...remember you can never go back in time so have your children photographed while they're young and cute:)

You can't go back in time...


One of the fun things we do for some of our friends in the Baby's First Year program is a special print called silly hats. Okay so we've all heard the old saying you can't go back in time so do it now. Well, with our own little warped sense of humor, we had to have a little fun with it. I know Mothers Day is still two months off but I think David's mom will like this as a gift even though he was a little late getting it done Anyway, here's David's Silly Hats
