Holiday cards are here!

We're pleased to announce that our holiday cards are here and ready!! Cards have been designed by Just Because Studios and are truly unique! All cards are 5x7, printed on heavyweight paper and come with envelopes. Designs come in flat and fold over (your choice). Text shown above is customizable, as is the text inside the folded cards. (And of course, the Just Because watermark wouldn't be visible on the finished product.)

Schedule your session today and have your choice of photos put on one of these fun cards! Or, if you've had a session with us in the last year and want to use your favorite picture from that session, we can do that too! Call (425.761.4760) or email (melanie@just-because.com) today!

Family time

Sarah won the Little Birdie Secrets give-away at the beginning of the summer. She asked if we could postpone her photo shoot until mid-September so that pictures could be taken of her nephew and her sister-in-law who would be visiting from Denmark then. Her brother and sis-in-law moved two months before their son was born and Sarah wanted to use the photo shoot as a way to celebrate their family - including her nephew, her sister-in-law, her sister, her sister's young daughter, her mom and herself.

I thought that this sounded like a ton of fun and anxiously awaited the shoot. Just before the shoot, Sarah told me that her brother had surprised them all and come to visit with his new family. What a great addition to the family shoot!

So, last week we all met and spent a fun hour at Pine Lake Park. The light was great, the temperature beautiful, the ducks were friendly and the beach was almost empty. The family is absoultely gorgeous, as you can see. It was perfect. Here's a sample of their pictures.

Thanks so much for making my job so easy Sarah and family. And an extra-special thanks for allowing me to be part of such a special time. =)

Specials galore!

We've got lots of great deals going on right now! Check them out below!

Halloween is just around the corner – and you’ve got the cutest kids in the most wonderful costumes. Why not take pictures before the big trick-or-treat? Come by October 3rd for a costumed mini-session in the studio. For $80 (+ tax), you’ll get a 20 minute sitting, one 5x7 and three digital images with non-commercial reproduction rights (print and images your choice!) – all in time for Halloween!

Fall is our favorite time of the year – and also allows for some of the most wonderful family pictures too. We’re doing extended mini-shoots at a local pumpkin farm on October 4th. Each sitting will be 30-45 minutes and you’ll receive your choice of 2-5x7s and your favorite five digital images with non-commercial reproduction rights all for $150 (+ tax). This is a great way to get pictures for those holiday cards!

Speaking of holiday cards, we’re officially rolling out our holiday specials. Schedule a special holiday sitting to take place between September 20th and December 10th and receive an indoor/outdoor sitting and a $40 print credit all for $100 (a $165 value)!
