Referral Cards

We have been trying to think of a good referral system for our loyal clients. We are slow sometimes. Forgive us. Many of you have been very cool and have referred us to your friends and family already. The highest compliment you could ever give us is to refer a friend. For those who do that going forward, we wanted to do a little more for you than just say 'thank you'. We wanted to add a little ka-ching to the pockets. So, here is what we have cooked up.

If you have been a client of ours, you are eligible to receive $50 credit towards prints and/or sessions for every single family/person you refer that books a session with us. Bottom line, you send someone our way and they book a session with us, we'll give you $50 credit with us for whenever you are ready to spend it. Here is the only rule. (I can hear you groaning.) Whomever you refer, they must give/mail/ship/or hand deliver to us a referral card, at the time of their booking, with your name on it. Thats it. Simple. Easy Money. Potentially, you never have to pay for photography again . . . you just need others to pay. A little basic math gets most people excited. So, here goes. If you refer two families that book with us, you just made $100. If you refer five high school or college seniors and a family, you have $300. Now you're cooking with gas.

So, if you have been a client of ours and want to start getting credit for all the referrals you are sending us, all you need to do is request some referral cards from us and we will mail them out to you ASAP.

Isaac Turns One

The kids and I have been a part of a playgroup here in Greenville for two and a half years now. It has been WONDERFUL for Caleb and Lydia not to mention how good it has been for me. There are about 12 of us moms who have become very close friends as well. Just today we were at a birthday party for one of the many kids in the group and we were laughing because we could easily be a hit reality TV show. I can see it now: Playgroup Moms of Pitt County instead of Housewives of Orange County. (Our lives don't consist of fancy restaurants, tanning beds and big jewelry . . . we wipe noses, hineys & tears away as we do laundry, prepare dinner and proudly wear our jewelry from the Piercing Pagoda kiosk in the mall.) There is always some excitement when our group is together - lots of laughter as well as tears. The kids range in age from 3 1/2 to 6 weeks old as well as a few buns in the oven. As our families grow our group grows and it's a sweet thing. I took a few pictures today at the party . . . enjoy entering my world.

This is the face I get when I tell Lydia to smile. Can you tell she's the daughter of a photographer?

I love Anna Belle's face in this picture. It seems as if she is thinking, "What's that smell?"

You gotta love dirty little feet. Look at those toes!

Meet Isaac, the birthday boy.

Isaac makes the cookie monster look like a chump. Way to dig into that cake sweet boy!

Erica + Justin

Erica and Justin have been eager to take their engagement photos for weeks. We had originally scheduled to do their e-session weeks ago, however it turned out to be the coldest day of the year . . . so I postponed it. The second time we had it scheduled I was laid up in bed fighting off Pneumonia. {That was some pretty awful stuff}. So, the third time's the charm. This time, although still quite cold, everyone braved the weather. Erica and Justin were troopers and were willing to let me try out some new ideas on them. I had so much fun photographing these two.

Saweeeet!

This is such a 'stud' shot.

This was my fav! Total sweetness.

This was my first attempt at this kind of photograph. For a first try I thought it wasn't so bad.

This was my second attempt.

My second fav. Rock'n.

There's nothing like being in love and catching a sunset.

To Erica and Justin: Kim and I had a blast with you both. Thanks for being so patient with us. I appreciated the slice of pizza you bought me. I didn't really let on how awesome it was. Thanks for suggesting we try some. Can't wait for the wedding . . . it sounds incredible.
