Today is the day! I'm going behind bars for MDA. I'm going to try to tweet it.

I'm going behind bars.

Tomorrow, September 30, is my jailbird debut. I'm going behind bars to raise money for the Muscular Dystrophy Association. My bail has been set at $2000. Please help bail me out , and at the same time you'll be helping Jerry's kids! Please consider donating! Jerry's kids are depending on you, and there's still time to get a little something in return for your generosity. Donate at least $25 on or before September 30 and receive a free 8x10 portrait from a previous session, or if you're ready for some new portraits, schedule up to a 30 minute in studio session and I'll waive the retainer! Donate at least $100 on or before September 30 and receive a free 30 minute session AND I'll give you $100 in portrait credit!! You can't lose with a deal like that! Or, donate at least $500 on or before September 30, and receive a free 30 minute session and a free Heirloom Painted Portrait from that session! (any size up to a 16x20, no more than 3 people in the painting,frame not included) Show me your receipt for your donation and I'll take care of the rest... as soon as they let me out of the slammer.

WHHS - Yearbook deadline is October 29th!

Yikes! They moved the deadline up on us this year! Yearbook photos as well as yearbook ads are all due no later than October 29th. 

The studio will be closed October 16 through October 26 while I attend a seminar out of state. We are very quickly running out of time. Call today to schedule your senior portraits! 

Babes & Boys display pick ups

First, I would like to say THANK YOU one more time to everyone who participated in the 2009 Babes and Boys of Summer fundraiser.  Thank you!  It was so much fun photographing your adorable Babes & Boys!  I hope to see all of you back next year! 

Now... for those of you who have not picked up your dispay yet... here's my schedule for the next couple of days.  Hopefully these times will accomodate everyone else's schedule.  If not, please call me and we'll arrange another time.  If you have a order from the Babes & Boys, I'll call you if it's ready to pick up.

on Thursday, August 27
11:00 AM to 1:00 PM
5:00 PM to 7:00 PM

on Friday, August 28
8:00 AM to 1:00 PM

I'm making headlines...

I've never been locked up before.  My only brush with the law was a speeding ticket several years ago.  =) 

On September 30th, I'll be going behind bars for GOOD. Please help bail me out...and while you're at it, you'll be supporting a very worth while cause!  Please help me support Jerry's kids and the Muscular Dystrophy Association.

Update and Reminder on the Babes & Boys

Wow!  We had a total of 72 entries in the 2009 Babes & Boys of Summer Fundraiser!  With your support, we raised $1800 for the Hope Resource Center!  Awesome!!!

For those of you who plan on ordering prints, AUGUST 22 is the absolute last day to order at the special Babes & Boys pricing.  All orders placed after August 22 will be at our regular pricing.  So if you're planning on ordering...

So here's a video of the last of the Babes & Boys sessions.  Remember, these are not the images chosen for display.  You'll have to visit us on Founder's Day (and VOTE) to see those.  We'll be set up and accepting votes in the conference room in the White Hall Library from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM.  

Enjoy! 

Congratulations Mr. & Mrs. Bert Sanders!
