The New Year hasn’t started yet, but I’m already thinking ahead. Come in to the studio for a Valentine Mini-Sesssion…and receive 20 Valentine cards with your favorite image from the session! The cards are double-sided and the size of a standard business card. They can be customized with a greeting of your choice as well as your child’s name!

  • 20 Valentine cards (great for handing out to classmates and friends and family!) (NOTE: use a hole punch down the side and insert your favorite lollipop to give to your loved one!)
  • Each additional child is $25.
  • Sessions must be booked and take place during the month of January.

Call to book your session today!

Merry Christmas

December 23, 2008

I just wanted to wish everyone a very Merry and safe Christmas. I hope that your stockings are all full, your tummy’s too and that all your Christmas wishes come true!

The studio is now closed through Jan. 2nd so that I can share the holidays with my friends and family! Any pending orders are being processed and will be mailed out. Any new orders coming in at this point will be filled after the holiday.

Don’t forget about the two specials running right now. It isn’t late to still take advantage of them. The BOGO Session Sale and the Share the Love sale. You can read the details here: http://www.merchantcircle.com/business/Joy.Hamilton.Photography.919-271-5003/coupons

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas!

New look for the blog…

December 16, 2008

Just thought I’d freshen things up a bit here on the blog. You will notice that this one has a bit more information on it than the first one. Here you will be able to access the current product and pricing list as well as a description of session details!

I will still be posting sneak peaks from sessions on here…so that hasn’t changed. In the near future, there will also be a special page for Current Specials that I will be having throughout the year. If you subcribe to the blog, you will be notified when information like that has been added!
