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.
The transfer is complete! I have switched my proofing software, and all client proofs are loaded onto the new system. In doing so, your favorites are no longer saved from the old system, but I have a list of them on file. If you wish to retrieve them, please email me.
The new software is much more user-friendly and easy to understand! The product list now shows categories for packages, prints, memorabilia, albums, etc or you can View All. There is also a small pic of each product and a brief description. This way, you can see what you are purchasing. There is also the option to register/login to save you Favorites, save you Shopping Cart, and view your Order History. For all my OpLove families, you will also notice the included "freebies" in the Featured Products list on the right side of the screen.
See below pics for some screenshots. I hope everyone finds it a much more pleasant and convenient experience. As always, let me know if you have any problems or questions!

After over a month of testing, trial-runs, and client surveys of different proofing software, I have finally decided on one. It is much easier to maneuver in, the products/packages are categorized better, and the design matches my website and blog. All these wonderful benefits without the cons of having to increase my prices to justify an expensive system. :)
So effective the late evening of March 31st, all my client's current proofs will switch to the new software. Just before I make it active, I will save a copy of all your "favorites" on the old system. Your proofs will immediately be active (with the same login information) on the new site. If you need your list of Favorites sent to you, no prob. Just shoot me an email, and I will get it over asap!
I apologize for the inconvenience of the switch, but I have no doubt you will appreciate the ease of the new system. As always, thanks for your patience as I attempt to make your experience better.

Everything is 100% up and running. The blog link works: www.myblog.angela-wilkes.com. The support team at PortfolioSiteZ is awesome!! They are quick and friendly to work with, so they are my rockstars this week.
I'm also testing out a new proofing software for my clients. I'm going to be giving it a trial run for a couple weeks before deciding, but it should definitely make proofing and ordering a lot easier! Stay tuned...
