Question…
March 5, 2009
Does anyone know of a place that has interactive calendars to put on websites? I’m looking for something that my customers can go to through my website and set up their own appointments. I know that such calendars exist, but I haven’t been able to find one that I like.
Thanks bunches =)

Hello again world! The past few months have been soooo….. hectic, fun, insane, bizarre, surprising, chaotic, entertaining, strange, humorous…. oh my, does the list go on. It’s pretty much been a madhouse! Maybe that is a better explanation! Well first on my blogging agenda, I want to thank all of my AWESOME customers. You guys rock! I cannot believe how incredibly supportive you all have been. I don’t even know how to thank you enough! Seriously, give yourselves a pat on the back for your awesomeness!! Truly, you have all been amazing and I had such a great time meeting you all and working with you.
Okay, enough with the being sappy. I just want to give a little warning about vista print and my phone situation. I’ve been having up to 8 calls a day from telemarketers. The caller ID shows the same number every time, however they ask for random things…whether or not my business accepts credit cards, or if I know the whereabouts of (insert any random name here), the person in charge of (insert any random name here) estate. They fill up my voicemail/message box when they call and they call so often that I cannot keep up with deleting their 39 voicemails they leave every time they call. The first message will be someone talking, and then the remaining 38 sound like a fax machine. I googled the number and found many other distressed people with this same problem. Apparently we all have one thing in common – we purchased business cards from vista print. Vista print must sell their customers’ phone numbers. I just wanted to give you a heads up in case you were thinking about purchasing anything from them. I don’t know for sure if they are the actual culprit, but it seems to be the general consensus from everyone. Have any of you had this problem? If so, would you mind sharing how you took care of the situation? (Blocking the number itself doesn’t do the trick because the number that appears on the caller ID is just the fake “face number”)
Thanks again for being so rad!

Get well soon Grandpa and Nick!!!!!

Hello! I feel so out of touch with the world! I’ve gone for 2 weeks without the internet!!!!!! How did people survive and live their daily lives before the invention of the internet?! Not being able to check your email is probably the equivalent to what the plague felt like!
So I have been MIA the last few weeks because my computer crashed. It also took one of my main backups with it. Rest assured that in the long run - no information was lost (besides my new brochures I was working on and some of my website info *sniffle*). I felt like a nut case for the first week after it crashed because I was rushing to re-copy everything from my remaining backup, and re-edit some RAW images…all while I was also taking 1 million senior pictures. I also ended up having to move my office from the stuio to my living room at home while all this was going on. Its a good thing I can work well under pressure!
Ok…now that I am done complaining I just wanted to let you all know that I AM ALIVE! I’M HERE! And the best part is – I have email again AND access to my website again so we can finally get going on all these proofs! I can’t WAIT to check my email on my new computer! I’ve been lost without it! Just thought I’d give you an update and let you all know that I didn’t fall off the face of the Earth. I’m back to work!
Happy emailing!

MORE FREE STUFF!!
July 14, 2008
Yes. I am out of my mind! That is why I am giving away more FREE stuff! What exactly am I offering? NO sitting fees for family photo sessions until September 30th, 2008!! (Yes, you really did just read that – no sitting fee…pretty cool huh? See the details below).
Here is the deal – when my family updated our portrait back in May, it really struck a chord with me. And unless you know Michael J. Fox and have access to a DeLorean AND a flux capacitor- you cannot go back in time and do all the things you wish you would have done, un-do things you wish had never played out the way they did, go back and say all the things you wish you would have said, blah blah blah you get my point! You can’t go back and take family portraits either. You have to take them NOW - RIGHT NOW - ASAP! You’ll have fun taking them, and you won’t ever have to add “family portrait” to the list of things you regret not doing. And in case you still aren’t convinced, I am trying to make it a little easier for you by offering free family sittings until the end of September.
Here are the details:
* “No sitting fee” special is limited to families/groups of up to 8 people. If you have more than eight people call me for additional details about discounted group rates.
* Online proofing (Unedited paper proofs available for a fee)
* LIMITED SPACE available! So hurry and make your appointment TODAY! This offer is running on a first-come, first-serve basis.
* “No sitting fee” special applies to in-studio sessions and/or limited outdoor locations. (Basically I am just saying that I’m not going to drive a bazillion miles to Arizona for free to take your family pictures. If you want to have your pictures taken outdoors, give me a call and we can discuss location details, lighting, etc.)
Call Genevieve at 563-262-5009
Tune your radio to 93.1 FM to hear our commercial, or visit their website to tune in from your computer! Pretty neato huh?!

On a slightly unrelated note – some of you awesome blog readers and email buddies checked out the rockin’ new website and sent me messages and comments to share your thoughts and helpful suggestions about the new site. In return, I will be sending you some freebies. Rest assured that you will be receiving them soon! I had quite a few, and am still sifting through and organizing them all so I can start passing out the goodies!
Cheers!

Kaely and Jeremy were so much fun! Jeremy has quite the sense of humor! We had a great time taking photos of them, although I’m pretty sure we were all left with mass amounts of bug bites from taking the photos at Weed Park…….but it was worth it!! Congratulations you guys!
