Well it is Friday evening and the start of Memorial Day weekend. I can almost smell the potato salad. The last week of May has a few significant events which apply to our family. Michael has a birthday, we celebrate our anniversary, and my brother in law also has a birthday this week.

It is nice to have a Monday off every now and then, sometimes it’s just nice to putter around the house and not feel like you’re wasting your precious weekend days.

Something new at the studio that I want to mention here is our NEW photo booth. Photo booth may not be the exact right word, but that’s what we are calling it.

It actually is a portable set up with a camera and printer which is programed to take a certain number of shots at a set interval of time between each photo, and then prints are printed out right then for the participates to take with them. The images also can be saved to a disk for editing later for individual prints or printing up in a coffee table book format.

We are excited about our system because with it we are not limited to the standard 2 or 3 people “in the booth” With our system anywhere from 1 to possibly 20 people can participate in the same photo set up.

In a situation like a wedding or birthday party it can be really fun. Somehow I think having a system that is automated like ours is, allows people to relax and have some fun in front of the camera with their friends and they tend not to as get self conscious as they might if there was a real live person taking the photos.

We are working on getting the prices for the photo booth rental up and available on our website, hopefully that will get done in the next week. In the meantime if you are interested please call us at the studio for more information.

Hope you all have a great holiday weekend.

Well, Michael and I have been tossing around the idea of keeping chickens at the house for fresh eggs for a couple of years now.. We have searched the internet for info and drawn up plans for a chicken house a couple of different times, but it never materialized. A month or so ago we happened to mentioned it to a friend, and it turns out he has built a few and they keep chickens too so …. Long story short.. chicken coop/tractor arrives tonight complete with a few chickens… Photos will be posted soon!!! Can’t wait!!

Well, I guess things go in spurts. And time does fly by. I had no idea that it’s been about 18 months since I have posted anything here. I have been putting things up on our 2 facebook pages assuming there wasn’t as much traffic over here on our “little blog” Just goes to show you, if your are going to do something, you should do it well. There have been more visitors to this blog than I would have guessed.

So once again I will make the resolution to do better. Lets try for once a week. I think that is doable.

So it’s about the 1st week of May. Graduation ceremonies will be happening in a little under a month. Believe it or not there is still time to have cap and gown photos done, and graduation announcements too, and still have time to get them out in the mail.

Headed out the door for work this morning and my car greeted me with flat tire…….uggghh! When did tires get to be so expensive?

If you have called the studio in the last two to three weeks there is a chance our conversation may have dissolved into what sounded like crinkled up cellophane… Problem is now solved!!!!

I can’t believe how long it has been since I posted anything new.  My apologies!  There is nothing so sad as a “non updated” blog..  

Summer has been fairly uneventful with the exception of some unexpected home improvement due to some “plumbing issues”  I will leave it at that..  

While we are not painting or pulling up tack strip at home we are busy at the studio with our high school senior portrait promotion.  It is once again that time of year

June is the month of Grads and Dads

With most graduations here in Bakersfield happening the last week in May, it is time to look toward the upcoming holiday of Father’s Day.

What to get Dad?  another shirt  or tie or something else?   Why not print the kids in for a portrait.  You can dress them in the type  of clothes that dad might wear to work, or bring them in dressed up in dads’ favorite sporting gear,  baseball, basketball,  golf. This works really well for both boys and girls, and Dad will LOVE IT!

Give us a call @ 588-8923 and we can go over some ideas and set up an appointment time .

Easter has come and gone,  it was great fun and lots of wonderful images were created for our clients to enjoy for a lifetime.

Graduation time is fast approaching and as we have done in the past we are offering a fantastic Cap and Gown Special for the month of May.  

Session and 40 wallets from 1 pose of your choice for $29.95 if  prepaid, $39.95 if not (which is still an outstanding price!)

We also have plenty of soon to be graduates come in to have portraits make before graduation, either because they didn’t have them made at the time the yearbook photos were taken, or because they have changed considerably since their senior yearbook photos were made.  In either case we are able to create portraits in late April up to mid May and still have plenty of time to deliver them before graduation.

Below is a link to our portrait pricing,  please take a look and seriously compare with other studios in town.  The lower prices may even scare you off, but if you understand that we are able to offer lower prices because we are able to print 90% of the work ourselves, I am sure that we put your mind at ease.
