Belle has arrived!!

Jana — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 17:51:57 +0000

Last week Mr. UPS man delivered one of THE most exciting boxes that I’d gotten for a long long time. He brought me one that contained my new Ephiphanie bag!!!!

I had been coveting one of these beauties ever since Maile made the announcement of her exciting new business venture so it was very thrilling to be holding her vision in my hands! Of the choices she offers, I selected Belle since I normally go for the practical color! This time I thought I’d choose something different and fun plus I loved the outside pockets, I’ve already gotten so many compliments on her. Here are some of the other styles & colors available…….

Belle has more than enough room for my 5D with the battery grip and large lens attached, my flash, 2 extra lenses and other accessories I lug around and even with all of that, there is a bit of extra room inside, enough that I could easily fit my wallet & cell phone in there and just use it as a purse.

Somehow I just feel more fancy toting this back & forth to shoots & the studio rather than my industrial rather manly Canon backpack I previously used! I will keep my backpack too because it’s nice to fill that up and throw it on my back and keep my hands free when traveling with the boys in tow however for day to day use I love my Belle! It was obvious that a artsy girl designed these bags due to the little “extras” such as the blingy camera charm that hangs on the front, the bright green protective bag Belle arrived in and the cute little inspirational cards tucked into the pockets just waiting to be found……

I think that Belle and I are going to get along very very well.

On a business note, 2011 senior sessions have already begun! I shot my first senior session yesterday and really love pro-active parents who want to book their kid’s sessions and get them out of the way before the busy senior school year begins and activities resume. For those of you who BOOK your senior session before Sept. 30 (it doesn’t have to be shot before then) I will include 50 free photo “411″ cards which are cute little business cards with the senior’s photo on one side and information on the other which can include phone #, email address, myspace or facebook profile link, etc. that they can hand out to friends. This is a $40+ value so call today to book your senior’s session and don’t miss out on this offer!

Wildflowers are a’comin’!!

Ok, so if what Mr. Weatherman says is true we should have a bumper crop of wildflowers this spring due to the exceptionally cold & wet winter we’ve had this year and I couldn’t be happier about that news!!!! You see, I’ve had my photography biz for 2 years and guess what? Yep, NO wildflowers the past 2 springs which really really stunk because you don’t know how badly I’m wanting to shoot photos out in the midst of a massive field of Texas Bluebonnets! It shouldn’t be long before the little darlings are sprouting up so I’ll keep my eyes open and hope to find a big field of them somewhere where folks don’t mind if I use it every now & then for photos. If you locals (Schertz, Cibolo, New Braunfels) folks see any pretty fields of flowers I’d love to hear about it! Wildflower season is typically mid-late March & early April so if you’d like to book a wildflower session (even booking contingent on finding wildflowers is fine) then I’d recommend you do so now because between baseball, Spring Break, a wedding next month & sessions, my weekends are filling fast. I have plenty of weekday afternoons open though! Hope to hear from you soon.

I love referrals. Word of mouth is everything in the business world and it can mean the difference between someone hiring you or deciding to hire someone else. It’s always exciting meeting new clients who were referred to me by friends or former clients, people whom I don’t know and then after some chatting we realize how much we have in common or mutual friends we have. This is one of the perks of living in a somewhat small city I suppose. Taylor’s mom contacted me because she’s a teacher and works with my pastor’s wife who also happens to be a client. She needed senior portraits taken of her son and now he’s also one of my senior reps, you’ve gotta love referrals! Enjoy your sneak peeks….

Speaking of referrals, I don’t know if you know about my referral program so here it is……..when you refer someone to me who books & shoots their session, you earn a free 5×7 print and after 3 referrals, you earn a free photo session! That’s a total a total value of $210 just for bringing clients to Brown-Eyed Girl and don’t forget about the holiday mini-sessions too. Sunday spots are filling up and if you book by Sept. 24 I’ll give you $75 to spend towards prints from your session. Hope to hear from you soon!
