New Referral Program


In looking back on this past year, I'm starting to plan for 2009.  In doing so, I realize that much of my past year's success is due in part to great referrals, or old fashioned "word of mouth" advertising!  If you passed my name on to someone this past year, I thank you!  Going forward, I would like to really show my appreciation, so new for 2009 is the Lasting Impressions Photography Referral Program!  

Here's how it'll work.  Whenever someone calls to inquire about my photo services, I typically ask how they heard about me.  So, make sure they tell me it was YOU!  After that person books with me, I will send out a portrait certificate to the person (hopefully you) who referred me.  

The photo on the right is of Drew...we used this for our holiday cards this year.  Don't you just wish we all had as much enthusiasm and energy as a 14 month old?!  Oh, and just for a teaser...look for a kids portrait special this spring!

Snow Day...

So who was prepared for this snow?  I'll admit, it is pretty, but I wasn't quite ready!  In my opinion, unless you like winter sports, large amounts of snow are pointless.  And, due to the fact that I probably won't be partaking in my normal winter activities this year (knee surgery), I'm not really looking forward to additional snow.  Yuck!  

Now that I was able to get that off my chest, here's the holiday ordering update.  Unless you order something by tomorrow (December 10th), I will not be able to guarantee delivery by the holiday. 

When was the last time you had a family photograph taken?  If you're still looking for gift ideas for friends and family, here's a thought...give a gift certificate for a family sitting!  Its the perfect way to celebrate family, gift something practical and can be enjoyed for long after the holidays.  If you're apprehensive about just giving a piece of paper, then give a photo frame with the gift certificate inside the frame.
