Now Booking Senior Reps!

If you're graduating in '09 and open to fun and creative pictures you should be thinking about being one of our Senior Reps.

Say What?

Senior reps are specially picked from each school to give us a little "test run" for their peers.

What you get -

• A 2 hour personalized session with Sarah Anne in May with an option to add on another session in the fall.
• An online gallery of your proofs with the option to post proof pictures on your facebook or networking site of choice. (This is an exclusive offer to our senior reps!)
• A complimentary gift of a session album with 24 of your favorite images from your spring session.

We only accept one guy and one gal per school so hurry and contact us for your slot!

What the lawyer wants me to say - Must be willing to sign a model release for use of your images on future marketing materials and website portfolio.

New changes coming up.

It's 11 PM on a Friday night and I'm sitting here working on catching up on some amazing senior sessions I've done over the last few weeks. Yes I'm THAT behind at the moment. Finals this semester have really kicked me in the rear so I'm thankful I decided to take the whole month of December off in anticipation with this.

Speaking of, have you all heard of Pandora.com? It's my favorite music player when I'm up at night working while the rest of the house is quiet as a mouse.

I must admit I'm dissapointed in myself for not keeping up with things here on the blog. Part of my lack of posting is being unsure how many people are actually here looking at this, so, starting next year, I'm going to be posting a monthly special to keep you all on your toes. It'll be really GOOD too, not just a "free 8x10", no. This special will be something so cool. I just can't tell you what they'll be yet. ;-)

Other changes happening will be some shifting around of my packages and pricing. Like the saying go, the only things promised in life are death and taxes. Since my last (first) year in business has been so amazing and things are only looking up, I'm going to go ahead of get rid of some of my promotional packages and just rearrange things to include popular items. I am excited to show you some new items we'll carry as well. It's going to be so fun.

Another huge change is that I am accepting weddings. I have two booked already and more inquiries coming in. I will offer three more weddings at a special promotional price so if you or someone you know is interested please have them get a hold of me soon.

Speaking of, I have a bridal session tomorrow with Miss K so I should get to bed soon so I will be bright eyed and bushy tailed and on my "A" game tomorrow.

Wish us good weather!

~ Sarah Anne

Now accepting 2008 sessions.

I am now accepting 2008 sessions. January has one session left so if you're interested please book soon.

Gosh we've been busy!

It may seem like we were slacking but really we weren't! Sarah Anne Photography partnered with antoher photographer to bring you Whimsical Loft Designs, a design template shoppe for photographers. It goes live on the 15th so shhhhhh don't tell yet! ;)

Another reminder that there will be NO appointments made for Texas sessions in December. Starting November 15th we will be accepting bookings for the 2008 calendar year.

Looking for a Unique gift?

Looking for something different to give to the person who has everything? Give them the gift of portraiture. Sarah Anne Photography will be offering gift certificates this holiday season. These certificates will include a full session and a few extra goodies as well. They're perfect for the family who has everything already, and so much more personal than a bottle of wine or fruit of the month club.

Check back later this week for more details and how you can purchase your gift certificates.

Ho Ho Ho

I'm spreading a little more Holiday Cheer by showing off another of our Holiday Card designs.

Be sure you book your sessions early this fall to give yourself plenty of time for ordering and waiting for your cards to be delivered.

Introducing Slide Shows!

To help explain a little about how your session will go, I'm going to show you our slide shows and explain what they are.

First, view an example of our online slide show. This is actually my son's first birthday party from a few weeks ago. I can't believe he's getting so big.

Click to See Slide Show


A full length slide show like the one above is available with certain packages or as an add-on for $75. Each additional copy is $15, they make great gifts for family and friends. You can have your slide show be DVD ready, so they will play on your TV or if you just want to email them to friends and save to your computer we can do that as well.

All sessions will also have a "preview" slide show available to them about one week before the viewing appointment. This is a special glimpse available to allow you to see your pictures before the night of the viewing appointment. Not ALL the proofs will be included, just enough to help get you excited to see the rest.

Holiday Cards again...

Am I the only one who tends to break out the holiday music way too early? For some reason I just really love the anticipation of the holidays over the actual event.

To help curb my ever growing hunger for some white snowflakes and frosted cookies, here are a few more of our holiday card templates offered this year. Remember, every time we post holiday cards the first person to email us gets a set free!

Apologies & Excuses

I'm sorry for the lack of posting this week. I've been hit hard with allergies, sinus infections and bronchitis. A couple days flat on my back, a night at the Doctor's office, a few x-rays and breathing treatments and finally I'm starting to feel a little better. Thank goodness too because it's just in time for the busy Senior season.

Which brings me to the point of this whole post, I wanted to announce that as of tonight I have ONE time slot available in October for a session. So, if you've been hesitating to book but want to have your pictures with some of the gorgeous fall colors that are coming up, stop waiting! I only offer a limited amount of bookings each month to make sure I'm able to give each session my full attention from start to finish and I can only squeeze in one more in October.

I will be online most of the evening working so you may call or email to book your appointment. Also, another reminder (I feel like a mother here...) all Holiday card orders MUST be in by November 15th.

Seeking & Searching

I'd heard a lot about proposal photography but hadn't really understood the concept until a friend showed me this from another photographer. Amazing. Inspiring. Just wonderful.

And now I'm on a mission to find someone who wants me to photograph their proposal.

Oh we would have so much fun, can you just imagine?

If you (or anyone you know) is interested, please send me an email and we'll get the ball rolling. I promise the prices will be easy on the eyes.

Super Secret Special - Shhhhhh...

I'm giving away a super secret special for my blog readers.

A few lucky seniors will get the chance to book our "Sweet Escape" package for just $135. That's over $200 in savings for you. How do you get it? Simple. Book your senior session before midnight on Saturday September 22nd. That's it. You have 48 hours to take advantage of this amazing offer.

Don't forget! For every referral you send my way, you earn $20 in credits. So, if you get five of your friends to join in on the fun you earn $100 credit to use towards a package or more prints!

Pass the news along to your friends too. You don't want to pass this up!

Another Holiday Card!

As promised here is Monday's Holiday Card Debut. As I said before, I'm so excited to be offering so many designs this year to my clients. They're such a fun way to give your loved ones a fresh and unique bit of cheer this season.

And, as I said before, the first person to email me will receive one free set of cards with a new session booked before November 15th.

Holiday Cards Debut!

As I mentioned yesterday we have some beautiful holiday cards to offer everyone for the 2007 Holiday season. I'm so excited to be able to offer these and, to tell the truth, I've been having a hard time figuring out which style I want to use myself this year!

These cards will be printed on a lovely linen photo paper and come with envelopes. They are 5x7 in size and can be customized to include your family names, and have room on the backs for a personal message.

I was planning on holding off a few weeks before I showed these off, but I'm so excited I had to give out a little sneak peek. ;)


Cards will be offered at $40 for set of 25 or $70 for set of 50.

And, because I'm so nice, I'm going to start a little game. Each Monday I will debut a new card design and then the first person to email me AFTER I've posted the design will receive one free set! You can use the cards yourself or donate your prize to someone else. Set of cards must be used on a picture from a Sarah Anne Photography session and redeemed before November 15th.

Yay!

Ready?

Set?

GO!!!!!

So Excited!

I'm so excited and just had to share. Sarah Anne Photography is going to be offering Holiday Cards this year! And for every session booked between now and November we'll give you a 15% discount on the price.

Stick around for a revealing of the designs later this week. I've seen them myself and just absolutely love them. I can't wait until I can show you and hear your reactions to them.

Until Later,

Sarah Anne
