Spokes Models???

We're looking for a few fun people who might want to be spokesmodels for us....Class of twenty-10.
There's a meeting coming up in February...people who make it to that one get the best deal and some fun stuff for their facebook page. If you know someone who's active in a lot of things, outgoing and isn't afraid to talk to people (most of them don't bite), have them get in touch with Karen ASAP. We usually only have one at each school, although some of the big schools we might have two. Anyway it's a great way to get two huge sessions and earn a bunch of stuff you'd otherwise have to pay for. Watch your mail for a card that get's you $25 if you refer someone and we end up using them...should be out later this month.

Fireworks?

I was just informed by the ATF (alcohol, tobacco and firearms) that I'm licensed to buy fireworks. Huh? Last summer we worked on a pyrotechnic crew over the 4th of July and had to get all kinds of clearance from multiple government agencies...evidently in the process I guess I applied to be licensed AND WAS APPROVED (LOL). Don't look for any big boomers going off over the studio anytime soon...handling even the 5' shells makes me a bit nerveous...working with a pro crew was fun but I think I'll leave the big stuff to someone else...I'll just take pictures of it.

Senior of the month...

Hey finally got it up and running...it's a little hard to get to which we should have fixed in the next 24-48 hours but here's a link if you want to see who's senior of the month for January. Oh yeah, you can also vote for who you think should be senior of the month in February. Here's a link that'll take you straight there:

Don't forget to vote for February! It's my birthday month (which is nice). Someone recently asked me when my birthday was and I said February. They said "What year?" I said "every year"...what a dumb question:)

Congrats to Bridget Lam who ends her reign as senior of the month for December. One more thing...if you're out and about near Eastland Mall, just drop by our display anytime after about noon on January 8th and you'll see who it is in the video.

Here's another hint...

Where in the world is David Lee? Here's another clue...look closely at the image and post a reply if you think you know. This contest ends soon and a new one is about to begin. Bookmark this page...give it a shot...you're not out anything and you could win a $100 session. Anyone? Buler?

Where in the world is David Lee?

So where in the world is David Lee...here's a goofy self portrait...take a close look at the surroundings. If you can guess where in the world I am in this image (i.e. just name the city or town), you get a free sitting on me. Here's the deal...ya gotta post your guess by Saturday November 8th and ya have to use the free session sometime before February 15th of next year. First post to get it right wins. Keep watching, there's more to follow (more clues, more places, more chances to win).

Congrats Dan Bergagna!!!

Congrats Dan,

As I'm perusing the sports page this saturday morning I noticed under Prime Time Performances in the Journal Star that Dan rushed for 166 yards Friday night for La Salle Peru and then checked out the article to see that LP beat East Moline to move to 2-0. Here's a link to the story if you want to give it a look. Since football is a team sport, our hat's off to the entire LP team on a great game and to Dan for an outstanding performance.

Anyone Who Tells You We're Too Expensive...

...doesn't know what they're talking about. Yeah sure you could go to a picture factory and get something for less but is it really something you want anyone to see? Probably not. When you compare apples to apples, no one comes close, in fact there are a lot of studios out there who charge more...a few that charge a lot more but you're still not getting a better portrait than you'd get right here. Okay...enough blather...I just had to address the people who went somewhere else to save a few dollars and ended up spending a lot more. Anyway...speaking of spending...how about a really cool fall offer that you can use? Click on the banner below and it'll take you our web page with all the details but basically, it's our Senior Express session and a basic collection all for just $299.
So if you're looking to get something really nice for not a lot of money...here's the deal you've been looking for...OR...if you're one of those poor souls who went somewhere else to save a few dollars and didn't like what you got, well...here's a chance to fix it. But either way ya gotta hurry because the last time we did this it sold out. OH...ONE MORE THING...the first 25 callers get a bonus offer free. No I can't tell you what it is because then it wouldn't be a secret:)
