Now for the "Why" behind this full day of Free Sessions that I am offering. Several of my colleagues, family, and friends are questioning that very thing. Well to the you the truth, there are a couple of reasons. One is that I have been soooo swamped with bookings lately that I haven't had the chance to consider or try the many new creative ideas that keep me up at night. Another reason is that I work so much with our military (OpLove) clients that it has seemingly taken over my creative processes. Which leads to a third reason...being stuck in a rut! It happens quite often with us creative mind people. Even with different people in different locations, it's still just the same thing...point, focus, click, & repeat. I can get the "popular poses" in the "popular locations" without a single thought. It has become automatic, which is why I closed my studio in the first place. It happened when I did mostly weddings, corporate, and now mostly military (OpLove) sessions. I am very busy, and for that I am truly grateful. However, my creativeness seems to be hiding lately. I have tons of fabulous ideas but no chance to test them. So here we are...8 Free Session Giveaways on a single day. You will be my test models, and I will provide incentives for allowing me to use you as such.

Be sure to stop by and see me at the Winter Market this weekend!

Don't forget to enter my drawing for a FREE family session in 2012, as well as picking up some free promo items. I will also have Gift Certificates, Photo Snow Globes, and Mini Photo Ornaments available for immediate purchase.

Last Chance for Christmas Mini Sessions

New Business Cards...

Yayyy, check it out!! I have finally got my new biz cards after over 7 years of the same old, hum-drum cards. And I now have a "digital" business card too, which I am told is the latest thing for businesses. You can see my digital card by clicking here or you can click the v-card icon at the bottom center of this blog. Now that I have confirmed the new printer's quality and how the colors actually look together in print, there will be more matching promo stuff coming soon: brochures, packaging, postcards, and more!

If everything goes as planned, I will be releasing my new type of session within the next week. It's fun and quirky and has the potential to be whatever you can imagine! I will also be offering some awesome specials (maybe even a few FREEBIES) with the announcement. So...be sure to stay up-to-date on my blog (you can subscribe at the bottom left).

My OpLove Promo Video

I just created a new video for promoting Operation: Love ReUnited. The video is comprised of images I have taken over the last several years of my OpLove clients including pre-deployments, currently deployed, and homecomings. Click here for the link to the video which I will also post under "Recommended Links" at the bottom of this page.

I have carefully considered and reviewed this service provided by Animoto. As a result, I have decided to start providing a video with the session photos on disk to each of my OpLove client's as an added gift. Animoto is providing this video conversion service to all OpLove photographers free-of-charge for our clients. So stay tuned for videos to be posted of my OpLove sessions.
