I will be out of the office from March 7-11 at a photography conference (WPPI!). Thank you for understanding this week as our response times for calls/emails may be a little longer than normal. Jennee will be available this week on the studio phone (503-807-0137) if you have any urgent needs. I am really excited for this conference, I hope to learn lots and bring home tons of new ideas for the studio!
Baby L
Sorry I haven’t posted much lately, things have been a little crazy around here after our Groupon ad ran. I am really excited with the turn out we got and am excited to work with everyone! Here is a sneak peek of our very first Groupon customer, baby L. He was only a week and half old for his first photo shoot, and he was such a natural. I think he is just adorable.
New Studio Phone Number!
First of all, I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who took advantage of the Portland Groupon yesterday. We had a phenomenal response and I am so excited to work with all of you! Please have patience with us for the next few days as we have been overwhelmed with phone calls and emails and are doing our best to get back to everyone as soon as we can. We appreciate your understanding 
The other big news is the studio phone number has changed! Please note the NEW number: 503-807-0137
If you call the old number, 503-407-4836, you will still be able to reach us, but the new primary number is the preferred number for all studio inquiries. Again, it is 503-807-0137
A few studio updates and sneak peek
This last month I have been able to look at the studio and make some much needed updates/evaluations. Not only is the showroom getting a new look, but I am also updating our list of products/services.
***FIRST IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT***: Studio Christy will be featuring an AMAZING deal (and yes, we are talking huge steal!) on Portland Groupon next Monday, February 15th, 2010!!! You can only purchase this special through their website, so you will need to sign up for their emails at www.groupon.com. This special will only be available for purchase on Monday, February 15th, however your sessions can be booked anytime through the end of 2010! So if you are considering having a session done at any point this year, you should buy it at the Groupon!
The second thing is that we are now offering an add-on for all sessions. This is a Style Consultation. This is optional, however I HIGHLY recommend that you take advantage of it. It includes the following:
Personal consultation (at your house or the showroom) before the session to review clothing/accessories, and to go over concept ideas for your session.
Between 1 and 3 outfits will be purchased (by me) for your child to wear at their session. You also get to keep all the clothes/accessories!
$40 per child
Why should you do this? Because I am the artist, and a lot of the time I have an idea for your child’s shoot that can only come to life with personally stylizing the session! Stylizing a shoot is a majority of the creativity that goes into a session, and I’m sorry but white polos and jeans just aren’t cutting it anymore! I will come and see what options you have, and we can talk about the look you want for your child’s session before purchasing the pieces for your session. I say you will get 1-3 outfits because it will just depend on the child and the look you are going for. As an example, I got all the clothing and hair pieces used in this session for under $50. Not all style consultation will result in this many options, but will be the perfect fit for your session.
These images are from last week of Miss Eraya. I had so much fun shooting with her in SE PDX, especially with the yummy props of cupcakes! She was such a doll, and I can’t wait to photograph her again! This is a gallery, so click on the thumbnails to view the full image.
Another couz, kind of :)
Actually he is my second cousin (son of my cousin, right?) We did his 6 month session a few weeks ago, and I just have to say he was one of the happiest babies I’ve ever seen. Look at the pictures, I don’t know if there are any where he isn’t grinning as wide as possible. Well, except the one where he thought we were taking away his toy. Even his pouting is cute though, so I had to post it! Little Onyx was so much fun, and I love that we got to use so many hats in his session.
Please keep in touch in the next few weeks. Since we are in the cold season I am taking this time to revamp the studio and make some great changes. I will post updates on the blog as soon as they are ready!
Couz
Over the holidays I got to take a few snapshots of my cousin Robyn. Isn’t she photogenic? It was SO cold out that day, we will do more when the weather is nicer…..
The M Family
We finally got to do this family’s session after the flu made its rounds on the family 
We really lucked out with a beautifully sunny day, and the kids had a lot of fun. I just love how their different personalities really show through their images. We ended the session with some shots inside by the Christmas tree, and these are some of my favorites from the session!
Another sneak peek….thanks for your patience :)
And we had to end with the Halloween costume, he is so cute!
