Blog contest!

November 21, 2008

We are having our first ever blog contest on kristylynnphotography.blogspot.com. Here is the deal, there are 10 pictures below from the past couple of months. Which one is your favorite? Vote in the poll on the bottom and you will give one of these lucky families a 11×14 wall print complimentary, just for being the winners.

There is one rule (isn’t there always at least one). Please do not vote more than once a day per household.

Other than that all else is fair game. Email your whole family and every friend asking for their vote. And make sure that your whole neighborhood is in on it.

Voting is open until December 6, 2008. And a winner will be announced on December 8th.

Happy voting!

The holidays are a great time to think about what really matters in life. And it is also a great time to give gifts. So if you have been thinking on these things, I think I have the answer for you.

kristy lynn photography gift cards!

These beautifully packaged gifts are a wonderful way to let your family and friends remember your gift for years to come.

And for these gift cards I will be running promotional pricing. There are two package options for you depending on how many prints you would like your gift to include.

Package Holly includes a custom 1.5-2 hour on-location session for the giftee and family (up to four members of the same immediate family, for each additional person please add $15). And a $150 print credit for them to use following our session. All of this for $250 (that is a $50 savings!)

Package Jolly includes a custom 1.5-2 hour on-location session for the giftee and family (up to five members of the same immediate family, for each additional person please add $15). And a $250 print credit for them to use following our session. All of this for $350 (That is a $100 savings!!)

And we can make custom sessions if either the Holly or the Jolly do not fit your needs!

Two weeks following the session the giftee will recieve a link to a private on-line gallery of 25-35 professionally edited images from our session. And from there they can place their order.

And with deals like this you could stuff everyone’s stocking with amazing pictures!!! Even your own!

the fine print: Payment is due at the time of purchase of the gift certificate. Packages must be purchased before December 15 to ensure Christmas delivery of the gift certificate. Sessions must take place before March 31,2009 and scheduling for them is according to the photographer availability. Full price list is available by emailing kristylfranks@yahoo.com. And giftee may purchase additional prints at 10% off following our session.

Just one more…

As I finished up editing my recent maternity session with this beautiful momma, I happened upon this one. I had discarded it for some reason upon my first time through the set. But then as I looked again I realized how beautiful the background was. And how it just framed her so perfectly. And then I saw how it almost looks like a watercolor.

This was only enhanced a little, and I can’t believe how cool that background is, can you?

I got the amazing opportunity to take some couple’s shots of this wonderful pair. And the love that these two share was so apparent. All I had to say was, “love on each other,” and it gushed. I am so happy for the two of you!

I am in love with this first one!

You may have noticed a difference. I am working on my blog to make it a little prettier, :) , and also to include some bigger pictures.

What a difference this makes, don’t you think?

These lovely roses were a gift from my wonderful husband. As of yesterday we have been married for two blissful years, here’s to many, many, many more, honey!

We are officially opening for business on January 1, 2009. And I could not be more excited about what is to come. I wanted to make a post to publish our session prices in 2009. Keep an eye out for our website release in the next month.

The creative fee for the session starting January 1st is $150. That is for both the time and talent of the photographer during the session and also includes the editing as well. A deposit of $75 is required to hold your session date.

Contact me for a booking in 2009 before December 1st, 2008 and receive a complimentary 8×10 (a $35 value) of your favorite image from our session in 2009.

All very exciting stuff. I look forward to working with you and your family!
