September Promotion #1

September is a BIG month here at the Oliverson house. We celebrate a lot of birthdays. What better way to celebrate than to pass the love along!?! Expect some fun promotions for the month.  

The first promotion this month is for those expecting newborns before the end of November.  As we all know newborn pictures are great but this new addition to your family also means a BIG change for everyone. I find it crucial to get family pictures sometime in the first year, but maybe not the first month.

As a mom I know that I wasn't feeling super photogenic right after giving birth and the baby grows so fast it's fun to see the change.  

My idea behind this promotion is to focus on the Newborn pictures then give that little one a couple of months to grow start holding his head up and at 3 or 6 months get the family picture.  My favorite family pictures I have are when Maven was 6 months old. I love looking back at that moment and remembering how fun and exciting those times were for our little family.

To get this great deal the first step is EMAIL CHARLSIELYNPHOTOGRAPHY@YAHOO.COM 

we'll book a tentative time around the expected arrival of your little one and after the newborn pictures we'll talk about and schedule family pictures.

BLACK FRIDAY DEALS

For the last week and a half we've been visiting my husband Brad while he does audition rotations for medical school.  We started out in Charleston, WV then when he was finished we drove to Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania.  On the way we decided to detour to my cousin's near Washington DC and see some sights.  See pictures below.

It's been great having a vacation and being together as a family for Thanksgiving.  So in honor of Thanksgiving and BLACK FRIDAY I'm offering a deal.  If you email me at CHARLSIELYNPHOTOGRAPHY@YAHOO.COM anytime between now and when I get home from this wonderful vacation NOV. 29 you get 25% off any photo session.  This is in addition to the discounted winter prices. 

Email me with your contact information and what kind of session you want.  I'll contact you as soon as I get home and we'll schedule your session.

If you are giving this as a gift let me know and I'll send you a gift card.

Indoor studio is available if you don't want to deal with cold weather.

$30 Photo Session

On Sat. Nov 12 just a few days away.  I will be doing a Mini Session Marathon.  Mini Sessions are a great way to save a little money.  Especially when kids are involved.  You spend money getting these gorgeous family pictures taken and 6 months later it's out of date.


Exhibit A: Family picture taken by one of my favorite photographers Rachael Cook.  It was taken last April and already Maven has grown a ton.  I just felt like it wasn't the picture to send out on Christmas Cards but I'm not quite ready to have a full blown photo session again.

The idea behind a mini session is to get a few updated photos without the full blown cost of a regular photo session.  Mini-Session Marathons are for individual sessions or small family up to 7 people.

A mini session is a 30 minute session with one location.  You will receive a CD of 15+ images with the license to print, and an 8x10 print of your choice from the session.  Although the session is shorter you will still get lots of pictures but to cut down on my travel costs and set up time I'm doing a marathon so I can offer you this package at an even lower price.

You only pay $30 and if you get a friend to schedule a session the same day you both save an additional $5.

How the Marathon works...  three separate locations scheduled throughout the day.  You name the style and we schedule you during that time slot.  

Sat. November 12 Mini Session Locations

9-11 AM SCENIC lakeside, leafs, trees, rocks etc.

12-2 PM URBAN graffiti, railroads, bridges, buildings etc.

3-5 PM RUSTIC barns, rust, old stuff etc.

Email me at CharlsieLynPhotography@yahoo.com with:

NAME
PHONE
PREFERRED STYLE/LOCATION(Scenic, Urban or Rustic)
# OF PEOPLE BEING PHOTOGRAPHED

I will contact you with exact time, directions to location and other necessary information.

This is the last chance for the Custom Christmas Card options.

Early Bird Special

Wow it's Nov. 1st.  Where did the time go?  Before you let anymore time pass consider joining in on my Early Bird Special.  

If you contact me at CharlsieLynPhotography@yahoo.com ASAP and we schedule you're photo session for Nov. 11 or earlier you get an extra $40 off the photo package of your choice.  This includes the regular packages and the Christmas Packages listed under the Christmas Promotions tab.

It's the perfect time of year for beautiful photos.  But don't hesitate, it is November, and you never know when that first snow fall might come.  

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the colors in these pictures.  We would have loved more fall leaves but I think they turned out wonderful.
