Busy March...

Wow! We've had a very busy March - I can hardly believe it's almost April! Where does the time go?? I've got some great Easter pictures to post, but just haven't had the time this week. We've met with 3 different brides on some wedding dates this week and met with 2 last week. Whew! I was very exicted to meet each of the couples and get to know them better.

It's been a crazy month for us with the bulk of the craziness happening this week. I had a routine dr's appt. Monday that resulted in some not-so-routine news...for once, I was IN FRONT of the camera and had an MRI done yesterday (I now have proof there really IS something inside my head). I go see another specialist on Monday where I'm hoping I hear some 'decent' news and hope the fix to my quickly disappearing vision is a fairly simple and pain-free cure. I've been on pins and needles all week wrapping my mind around my inital diagnosis and the options that lay in front of me. But I'm optimistic and refuse to let anything get me down for too long.

More Grad Announcements...

Whe've had a whirlwind of seniors the last few weeks and I'm just now getting 'creative' and posting new graduation announcments - here are just a few samples of our latest work today....



I love this one - the softness of the treatment and the glow in her eyes really make this one a favorite for me!

New Graduation Announcement Samples

Here are a couple of our newest graduation announcement samples - we've inserted just generic text for the date/time/location, but thought we'd show off a little creativity! We used a couple pictures from a couple of our recent senior sessions...

Graduation Announcements

Your senior year - you've waited a long time for this ONE year...your parents on the other hand, well, they might like to hang on to you for a little while longer. Your senior year can also include several mounting expenses for parents - pictures, announcements, cap and gown, yearbooks, trips, gifts, planning for college, banquets, proms, the list can go on and on.

Just the other day we were having a conversation with a dad planning a session for his daughter when he asked 'exactly how much is all of this going to cost me?'. He went on to explain that he's already been made aware of several purchases during his daughters senior year that amount to over $500 each! We were happy and excited to tell him, we never put a minimum dollar order requirement on anything in our studio - images are left online during the school year so parents can make purchases here and there as they need and want to.

He then turned the conversation to graduation announcements - something we're very proud of at our studio! We create custom, one of a kind, graduation announcements complete with your information and favorite image from your session. We will include several samples in your online gallery, and you may also choose any variation of some of other predesigned samples as well! The deadline for ordering your graduation annoucements for 2008 is March 31. This allows you enough time to address envelopes and get them mailed in time for graduation!
