Sales, Holiday Delivery, and Other News

Santa Looking Pictures, Images and Photos First things first, sports memory books are on sale now through the end of November. A 10x10 hardcover 20 page memory book is regularly $250.00, but through the end of November you can get $50 off! Include as many photos from this year's football season as we can get in those 20 pages. The page designs are much like the scrapbook pages you have seen all season. Connie Boyster bought one last year for her girls, and I'm sure she would be glad to show it off! Seriously, these are great gifts that makes your football player, cheerleader, band member or Whippet a star. They will love these books! Order by November 20th if you want delivery in time for Santa!
The perfect little stocking stuffer is a 5x5 hardcover 20 page memory book. Include 20 photos and it will fit right into their stocking!

For all my recent clients and those who are booked for sessions in the next few weeks - Christmas is coming so fast! If you order is a Christmas gift, I must have your order placed by November 20th. There will be no guaranteed Christmas delivery for any order received after November 20th. Not only are we busier this year to process those orders, but my printing companies are swamped already with pre-holiday orders. It's like putting a stick in a bicycle spoke - turn-around time at the lab really slows down when they get swamped with orders. If your session is very close to November 20th, I will get your proofs ready as quickly as possible to give you as much time as I can to decide.

Sports galleries will be hosted until December 1st and then most will be deleted. Time just gets away, and there are so many football images to look at. If you haven't looked and made your decision yet, time is creeping up. All wedding galleries that are beyond 90 days will be drastically reduced on December 1st, as well as portrait galleries. So if you haven't made your album or portrait order decisions and need help, please call. All temporary galleries that have been re-posted in the last month will expire and will be deleted on December 1st. Are you seeing a theme here? December 1st a lot of the web galleries are coming down! I can take orders from galleries that are removed, as long as you have the photo number (found just below each photo in the single view, or at the top/bottom of the image in slide show view). Photo numbers are not those long 8 or 9 digit numbers that come up if you hover over the image. Photo numbers for football, for example, begin with "NF08..."; photo numbers for your family portraits begin with your last name. As long as you have those numbers you can always place your order, I keep the negatives forever!

So lots going on in the craziness leading up to Christmas this year. Take advantage of the sale on memory books, and surprise the star in your household. Get Christmas orders wrapped up by November 20th. And, make sure you've written down all your image numbers before December 1st. You guys are going to be busy, too! - Cheryl
