The Wells Family is Growing

January 24, 2009

I had the pleasure of capturing the Wells family as they are beginning to “grow again”. Little B. wasn’t too sure about having his picture taken…but I was able to sneak in a few of him and all his cuteness!wells_maternity02pwells_maternity07pMaternity Portrait - mommy and son

I am currently looking for Senior Studio Reps. If you are a rising Senior (Class of 2010) and want to earn some free Senior portraits, that do NOTSenior look like everyone else’s - give me a call or drop me a line! (I’m on Facebook too). Here are a few details:

What you need to do:

  • Basically - you’ll tell everyone you know, where the best place to get your Senior Portrait taken — Joy Hamilton Photography! 

What you’ll earn:

  • A Model Session: A little shorter than a full session, but still includes wardrobe and backdrop changes. This session will be to get the images for marketing material so the photographer will guide and suggest clothing styles, poses, locations so as to get a variety of material for marketing purposes.
  • Marketing material, printed albums, electronic proofs, etc. to use to show off your session to your friends!
  • A full senior session - all about YOU! (Requires a $100 retainer fee – which you can earn back) This is YOUR “It’s About Me” senior Senior Balletsession. A number of referral wallets to hand out to potential clients.
  • For every referral that books & keeps their session - the referred client gets a complimentary set of 8 wallets and the Model gets a $20 print credit toward their enlargement order. After 3 referrals that come in, the $100 retainer for YOUR SESSION, is added to your print credit balance! (That would be $160 right there in portrait credit.)

So if you are motivated, energetic, don’t mind being in front of the camera and WANT FREE PORTRAITS - this is the job for you.

Contact the studio for an application for the model program. There are a limited number of model slots per area school so hurry before all the spots for your school get taken!

Trying to “fix” things

January 4, 2009

If you get a few emails from me - I really really apologize. My blog subscription utility is not very intuitive as I’m finding out when I need to make a few changes…I just want to make sure no one misses their emails or gets bumped off the subscription list!

Happy New Year! 2009 is here…with a fresh start and a renewed enthusiasm…!!!

Did you write any resolutions down? Last year I did not. I didn’t even want to get to the point of disappointment when I didn’t get very far in achieving them. This year - I think I’ll try my hand at a few resolutions again. A few for my business and a few for my personal well-being (yep - getting in shape — which is hard when you have three little ones and you’re running your own business!!!)

So what are yours? Do you have a method for success when it comes to making and keeping a resolution? I’d love to hear some- maybe it will inspire me…help me whittle down my list - keep me on track!! Post a comment to this blog post with one or two of you resolutions, or what you do to help ensure some success with the resolution process!

Each person that posts a comment will get their name entered in a drawing for a complimentary Valentine Mini- Session! You’ve got until Jan. 3rd at midnight. On the 4th, I’ll put the names in a hat and let one of my kiddies pick the winner! I’ll post the winner that afternoon along with my resolution lists!!

Again, I wish everyone a very Happy New Year and hope this year brings you peace and happiness!
