Celebrate Family

As hot as it is outside, it seems kind of funny to think about you Christmas portriats, but it's not too early to start thinking about your Holiday Christmas Cards and the pictures you send with them. A recent family photo really personalizes you card. Consider having your portraits done early for the best session times and to mark one thing off the list!

What fun he was. These would look great in a storyboard. See the example below:

Free Session

FREE SESSION and FREE 5x7! We get to give you a free session and a free 5x7 in exchange for 10 friends/family members names and addresses. (It'd be a good idea to double check with them to make sure they wanted the same offer, but why wouldn't they - everybody loves free stuff) It goes like this:

You give us 10 names/addresses of people you are friends with or in your family and we'll give them the same deal. They will have the opportunity for a free session and a free 5x7 for 10 names as well! The sessions have to be booked by August 31 (not completed just booked) in order to receive the free session and free 5x7. This is just in time for Christmas Card Season... so get your thinking cap on and come up with 10 names! It's easy, just look through your email contact list! We'll make up beautiful custom postcards, send them a postcard and invite them in for the amazing free session and free 5x7!

Now go! Get your names and email weiss.joanna@gmail.com or call me (813) 335-9038 to book the session!

One of my Senior shoots

All about Luke! He had the pensive look going today. We had a great time and got a couple of great shots!

So I joined the PPA (Professional Photographer's Association) yesterday. They are associated with a phenomenal charity - Operation Smile. In case you aren't aware of what that is, I'll give you the elevator speech:

"Each year this incredible organization of more than 6,000 volunteer doctors, nurses, dentists, and specialized health-care professionals, perform free reconstructive surgeries for children suffering with cleft lips, cleft palates and other facial deformities. More than 100,000 children are born with a facial deformity each year in Operation Smile’s 26 partner countries."

Recording the faces of children and their families is one of my greatest pleasures. That’s why I believe so strongly in the work of Operation Smile. So, as part of helping the PPA raise money for Operation Smile, the PPA has organized Family Portrait Month in October. For each family session in October ( a great month for family photos for your Christmas Cards) I'll donate $25 of the Session Fee plus 10% of the gross sales amount. Pass the info along! It's a great cause and I'm proud to be part of this and can't wait to see how much money we can raise!

New Photography Blog coming soon!

Ok, so I have gotten really into blogging and I am separating my personal blog from my photography blog to protect the privacy of my little one! I am looking forward to all of the sneak peeks and the yummy images we can create for your viewing pleasure. Check back soon!
