It’s a busy week around here. Personally, I’m preparing for my son’s 2nd birthday and doing some househunting. :) For the business I’m finalising christmas card designs so I can print samples, getting ready to order a sample of a beautiful new product to add to our line-up and working on a special holiday charity project. (Keep your eyes open for an announcement about it in the next few weeks!) I’ll have more fun photos to share soon, but for now onto the title of the post…

Gift vouchers are now available in any amount starting at £25. (Consult our pricing page or give me a call if you want to make sure the voucher amount will cover a specific product or print.) With the holidays just over the horizon we’re all starting to think about gift-giving. Portrait vouchers make a fantastic present for families, expectant mums, newly-engaged couples… you name it!

and just because I like to give a little something too, here’s the Early Bird Bonus:

Order a gift voucher by 31 October and get an extra 25% added to the value! For example, when you purchase a £100 voucher, the recipient will get £125 to spend! Contact me to place your order.

If you’re interested in portraits of your own family to give as gifts, check out our holiday special.

Slowly but surely I’m getting around to photographing the lovely items we offer and showcasing them here on the blog. These handcrafted albums are a timeless and elegant way to preserve and display your favourite images. The luxurious cloth covers come in black, ivory, red, pink and pastel blue. The thick, sturdy pages and mattes are available in your choice of black or ivory. The decorative ribbon is optional. Prices start at £95 for a 6×6 album featuring 10 4×5 prints.

Keeping pace with the digital age we also offer digital image files to help you show off your special portraits. A disc of low-resolution, watermarked files suitable for sharing via email, Facebook, etc. may be added to your print order for just £25. This disc is included free of charge with orders over £200.

2009 Holiday Portrait Special

September 21, 2009

Seeing the Christmas biscuit tins in Tesco the other day reminded just how quickly the holidays sneak up on us. It’s 3 months till Christmas! This has been a rough year financially for many people, and I’d like to make the gift of custom portraiture more accessible. I don’t normally offer packages, but in the festive spirit I’m pleased to present:

2009HolidayPortraitSpecial

EXTRAS:
Additional Sets of 25 Cards £25 (regular £35)
Additional Accordion Albums £20 (regular £25)
Add-on Custom Framing to your Wall Print for £75 (over £100 value!)

Details: The holiday special may not be combined with any other offers. Package price is valid through 30 November, 2009 (subject to available schedule space). As I have carefully selected the items in the holiday special package, no substitutions will be made. The portrait session includes up to 4 people; add £10 per additional person. A deposit of £50 is due upon booking; the balance is due with your print order.

FACEBOOK FANS: Mention that you’re a fan on Facebook when booking your holiday package to receive a bonus £40 voucher toward a 2010 session!

I promised some time ago to snap some photos of our custom-framed prints, and today I’ve done just that.

This one hangs above my fireplace. The print size is 12×16, and I honestly wish I had gone bigger! I love it, though :) customframedprint2

Some more details:

All mounting, matting and finishing is performed by hand by local craftsmen. I get involved in the process myself as well (I cut a mean window mount!) and personally inspect and package each unique work of art before delivery. Prices start from just £95 for a bespoke, ready-to-hang 8×10 framed print. A variety of mount and moulding options are available, and we’re happy to accomodate requests for custom sizes, etc. As much as I like the images above, I have to say they look even better in person. If you’re interested in beautifully-finished portraits to display on your walls, contact me for an appointment.

I’m just putting the final touches on our Holiday Portrait Special, so expect to see that posted here soon!

Cheers,
Jenny

Here’s a quick preview from my shoot on Friday afternoon. 12 months is such a fun age! I can’t wait to share all the fun and beautiful shots with her Mum & Dad.
