2008 Holiday Card info!

New SUPER LOW prices,
Same HIGH QUALITY
h o l i d a y c a r d s
from Q Photography!!

As a thank-you to all of you who have brought me so far with my beloved photography business, I've cut my holiday card pricing in half. Now you can hear the "oohs" and "aahs" from all of your friends and family for a fraction of what it used to cost.

Custom-designed holiday cards are all still custom-designed just for YOU, and printed on gorgeous glossy cardstock by the nation's best professional lab.

NOW is the time to book your family sessions! October and November spots always fill fast this time of year, and I don't want to have to turn any loyal clients away because I'm full!
{If you've already come in for a session this year, just ask and I will be happy to design something for you.}

4 x 5.5" folded, 4-sided cards, pack of 24
THIS year's price: only $36! Last year's price: $72

5 x 7" folded, 4-sided cards, pack of 24
THIS year's price: only $42! Last year's price: $84

5 x 5" tri-fold, 6-sided cards, pack of 24
THIS year's price: only $58! Last year's price: $96

Of course the $300 minimum print order per session still applies, and must be met before cards may be purchased, but that's never a problem because at Q Photography, you always get loads of images you can't live without!
I can't think of a better gift to give grandparents for the holidays than a beautiful set of prints, either in one of our mini-albums or framed. A gift they're 100% sure to love-love-love!

Book now for the best availability... October's "prime fall color" dates always fill first.

More with Lauren!

We shot some of my assistant Lauren's senior portraits, here's a sampling! She'll also be appearing in my newest Rochester Women ad. Ahh, the perks of being a photographer's assistant! Click here to view the rest of Lauren's gallery.

Springtime at the studio

Here are some pics I snapped last week of some of our yard outside the studio - my husband Jared has been wonderful this year about keeping the lawn and gardens looking good. We realized very quickly after moving in how much upkeep this property takes, but it's worth it to be able to step outside to this every day! We are actually planning to drastically change the look of the yard within the next couple of years, we will be adding major water features (yup maybe even through the woods!) as well as tiering off the yard so that it's all level for better shooting. Stone steps, walls, etc... it's going to be a big job, but so worth it in the end! When all is said and done there will even be some weddings held here!

fun boudoir shoot with three amazing women!

Check out my latest session with three amazing, gorgeous, totally fun women. (tasteful images of course, but viewer's discretion is advised)
We turned my studio counter into a makeshift martini bar for the evening, (Didi you make the BEST dirties!) and made it into a fun Friday girls night. Of course I should clarify that I only allowed myself a martini at the end, for photographic quality-control purposes, of course.

I'll be putting together a couple of boudoir packages soon, with options for parties like this one, either in-studio or in-home. Talk about happy husbands, right ladies? Watch for details!

a 4-year old gentleman

Aiden was so much fun to shoot! Mom brought Aiden's older brother Maxwell when Maxwell turned 4 a couple of years ago, and we used the same suit, tie, hat, and shoes. (Thanks to Maxwell and Aiden's Grandpa!) What fun this was - it was so hard narrowing it down to 54 proofs from nearly 200 shots!
Aiden, I predict you will be a professional, working model some day!

The studio

I finally took some updated pics of the studio the other day, I uploaded them on Facebook but forgot to put them on the blog for all of my bloggedy-blog readers!

Oh Chloe!

Chloe, as if I wasn't already in love with you, this shot of your sweet little face just kills me! No surprise this child has a modeling portfolio!

A sweet birthday girl!

This is Anna, who has just turned One! My first session with Anna's family was with her wonderful mom and dad when Anna was still just a bun in the oven. A great maternity session with two fun parents. Anna's newborn session soon followed, then the 3, 6, and 9 month sessions. Her one-year session was bittersweet for me! My greatest joy in photographing babies is getting to watch them grow and develop throughout that first year, but I will miss not seeing her as often! I'd like to again thank her teriffic parents for a wonderful year.
Hidden blog discount: Book 2 sessions in the same year and get the third FREE! You must mention you read this blog entry to receive the special deal!

Enjoy your sneak preview, Anna! The rest of your proofs will be up soon :)

Allison from Sunny CA!

Here's a shot from a session a couple of days ago. This is Allison, neice to my very good friend and longtime client, Lynn. Allison and her parents flew in from California for a visit with Lynn's family and a fun session at Q Photography! Is she adorable or what?!

Simply Gorgeous!!

This is Megan, she is graduating this spring and wanted some new senior portraits because she recently had a dramatic haircut and donated her lovely locks to Locks of Love. Her family also got in some shots, what a fun, easy-going, and laid-back group! We had a blast. You can see the rest of the images from Megan's session by clicking here.
