Welcome! 
We appreciate the opportunity to keep you informed of the latest news and events through this periodic e-newsletter. 
 
The last time we wrote, we were getting ready to settle in for a long winter.  Now, two short months later, we are scratching our heads and wondering what happened?  So, we have given up on winter and turned our attention to spring and the arrival of Mother's Day on May 9th.  To that end, this edition of our newsletter will be primarily focused on the women in our lives.  Please keep reading to find out more information about: 
  • our Mother's Day Gift Certificate Special,
  • how "Women & Wine Get Better with Age,"
  • how you can help us name our portrait parties for the younger ladies,
  • our next D-Photo Creations class on March 21st, and
  • how you can receive a free 12x12 custom graduation signature board.

Mother's Day Gift Certificate Special  
Mother's Day PictureNow that spring is in the air, we are getting anxious to get back outside for our portrait sessions.  We suspect that there are many moms who are anxious to get outside again, too.  That's why this is the perfect time to start thinking about Mother's Day, and how the gift of an outdoor family portrait makes a unique and beautiful gift mom will cherish for years to come. 
 
Starting April 1st, we are making it easier to give mom the gift of custom photography.  From April 1st through April 7th, for each $50 gift certificate purchased, we will give you an additional $10 for FREE.  Then, the choice is up to her when and how she wants to collect on her gift.  Here are some of the many ways she can do so:   
  • Apple Blossom Session - We are so lucky to have access to a beautiful, local apple orchard for our portrait sessions.  This year, we will be offering special sessions during the height of apple blossom season.  (The specific time will be determined based on the trees, but last year the peak blossom season was mid-May.)  This would make the perfect backdrop for mom's portrait. 
  • Celebrate the Generations - Capturing multiple generations in one portrait does not happen often and is really something to cherish.  This would be the perfect time to capture something mom, likely, has wanted to do for a while. 
  • Mommy and Me - This is the perfect way for mom to celebrate who she is today and her connection with her child(ren).

Women & Wine Get Better with Age! 
Women & WineOne of the new things we started offering this year is "Portrait Parties" targeted to specific audiences.  The first portrait party we are offering is called "Women & Wine Get Better with Age!" 
 

The concept of this party is similar to other home-based parties (e.g. Pampered Chef or Stampin' Up) where you invite friends to your home, enjoy good food and great company, and you are introduced to a new product or service.  In this instance, the service you are introduced to is us! 

 

The "Women and Wine" party is designed to encourage women in their 40s, 50s or 60s (or more!) to make time to celebrate how fabulous they are.  As a bonus, their amazing friends get to come along for the ride!  For more information on our first "Women & Wine" experience, check out our blog by clicking here: "More in Focus".  To request more information or to inquire about scheduling your own party, click here: Women & Wine.  

 
Now - here's where you can help us.  We have had requests to offer similar parties for the younger ladies who want to capture their fabulous friendships, too.  For example, the high school friends who were separated for the first year of college and have reunited over summer break.  The same would also work for the college friends who are getting ready to graduate.  Taking the time to record these special friendships would be a very special gift for each other.  The variations on these reasons for doing it are endless.  Now, all we need is a great name for it. 
 
The two most popular names that have been suggested to date are "Girls Night In" and "Framed Friendships".  Which one do you prefer?  Or, do you have something different to suggest?  To email us with your preference, click here: Cast Your Vote!  We'll announce the results in our next newsletter.

D-Photo Creations: Accordion Books

Accordian Book ExampleWhile we have had a lot of fun with our slate project over the last several months, we are excited to announce our next D-Photo Creations project: accordion books.  These books are the perfect size to throw in your bag or back pack and carry around with you.  Once you have the basic technique mastered, the themes are endless: sports, new babies, weddings, brag books for Mother's Day, and so on.  To see more pictures of this one, check out our blog by clicking here: "More In Focus"

 

Our next class is scheduled for Sunday afternoon, March 21st from 1-4 p.m.  Class size is limited to 4 students, and the cost for the class is $25.   The materials will be provided for you - all you need to do is bring your creative energy.  If you are interested in participating, click here to reserve your spot: D-Photo Creations.
