See you there, and be on the lookout for a new contest to celebrate

It’s been a crazy busy season, and it’s almost winding down. I am about 20 kids and 10 families behind on the blog – so I might never catch up on that. Clients – you’ll be getting your galleries right in time for my Nov 20th order deadline, so please do not delay if you want those prints & products as Christmas gifts.

I am planning some exciting changes for next year, and I am really thrilled about all the possibilities. I attended two AMAZING workshops, and I can’t wait to put some of what I learned into play. I am thinking of creative ways to be more green – so I’ll be incorporating that into my work flow, and my product line. My poor website galleries are in desperate need for updates, so you’ll have to excuse the dust while I clean those up.

Also be on the lookout for the end of year contest, and some really exciting events at the beginning of the year. I am going to end this year with a bang of newborns – and I can’t wait to meet them all. I promise to be better about blogging sneaks, so don’t give up on my blog

I’ll leave you with this precious photo of my nephew taken on Halloween. Isn’t he the cutest!?!!

It’s been a busy couple of weeks, and I am just barely catching up before the next storm sweeps by. I am heading into my busy season, and my September is fully booked. So if you are thinking of fall/holiday session, now is the time to book. Holiday order deadline is November 20, last session for holiday delivery is November 8.

On to the new exciting products that I’ve added…

1. The first is the slideshow set to music, for viewing on your TV or computer. This is a great way for you to keep all the images for years to come, and it’s an economical option at only $150. They come in a nice case too!

2. You’ve asked for it – so here it is. A full digital package with every single edited image on DVD with reprint rights, so you can print as many copies as you want. It comes with easy to follow instructions, and lab suggestions. Priced at $950, it’s over $350 saving from a la carte prices. This comes in a gorgeous custom designed photo CD case like the one below:

3. A step down from the above, is the mini digital package, for $350, that includes 12 of your favorite images in high resolution with the rights to reprint. Also comes in the same custom designed photo CD case.

4. Last but not least, is the keepsake Box for $350. I fell in love with those beautiful boxes. You’ll get all your session proofs in 5×7, and store or display them in this beautiful custom designed keepsake box:

If you had a session in the past year, and are interested in any of those products, let me know by September 1st, and get $50 off.

I will be out of town this coming week.  If you would like to schedule a session, I am currently booking August and September dates, so call/email soon.  I’ll get back to you after next weekend.

Happy 4th, everyone

It’s been a great summer so far, and I just wanted to give you a heads up about a few things:
- We have a family vacation planned in July, so I will not be reachable between July 4-12. Please contact me before or after that time if you need anything.
- I am currently booking for end of July. As I have done in the past, I only take on a few sessions each month. I do lots of pre- and post- session work, and I want to make sure you get the best possible images and products. So if you are planning to have me photograph your babies, kids, teens, or family, please book your session soon. I hate to turn people down.
- I am always looking for great new products, so be on the lookout for another post in the near future about some new and exciting ways to get your prints.
- My husband has been working on revamping my website, so don’t be surprised when things look a bit different, and excuse any dust you might see while we iron out all the kinks.

I love summer…hope you’re enjoying yours! Here’s my baby girl, playing with her favorite thing…WATER!

I am so excited about doing those mini sessions! Join me in a gorgeous location…full of blooming flowers!
Limited availability, so book your time slot fast! Here are the details:

I thought I would extend a one time offer to my clients!

I’ll be making some space in my hard drives by archiving all past sessions (6 months or older, of course).  So if you had a session from September of 2008 or before, here’s the deal:

- DVD of all the processed images, with a release form to reprint for $150… over $500 saving!
- or a DVD slide show of all the images set to music for $40… over $50 saving!
- Your session must have taken place before 10/01/2008 (if you are not sure – send me an email).
- Your payment must be received by Sunday 3/29/09.

If you are interested, please send me an email to info@zoombugphotos.com. 

Early  “HAPPY SPRING”!!!

This is from a recent birthday party…18-month old cutie:

Zoombug Photos is now on Facebook! Here are the links to the GROUP, and FAN PAGE. Feel free to join. I’ll be posting current promotions, event details, and most recent work there. Hope to see you there

On a different note. Our pup turned ONE this past week. So happy birthday, Cocoa!!! Here she is playing in the snow a couple of weeks ago:

We are expanding into the High School Senior market and need your help!

We are seeking 10 seniors to start our portfolio, 5 girls and 5 guys.
These seniors will receive a complementary session, an 8×10 of the image of their choice and 24 wallets, and a short video like the one below! Additional prints will be available for 25% off our regular prices.

I was honored to be featured in my first photo display at Central Baptist Hospital. The four framed newborn photographs will be displayed in the newly remodeled mother and baby rooms at the hospital!

Here’s a snapshot that my husband took of me at the open house:

Special thanks to Shari Stewart for putting it all together! It was great meeting you.
