Important Dates and Holiday Mini Sessions/ Gainesville Photographer

jls photography — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 01:52:10 +0000

Ahh…. Fall is rapidly approaching, and with that means that the holidays are just around the corner. I wanted to use this blog to communicate some important dates for all of my clients to keep in mind as we get close to the end of the year.

I am now accepting holiday card pre orders. That means that you can pick your card and the photo that you would like in your card, and I will send you a proof now and invoice you for the order. I will not actually order the cards until 11/15, so you have plenty of time to pay for them. Cards will arrive at your home just after Thanksgiving. If you have had a photo session in 2009 and would like your gallery reactivated, send me an email at jaime@jlsphotographystudio.com and let me know which 72 hour time period you would like your gallery to be reactivated for. This is free of charge, so no $25 reactivation fee!

OCTOBER 10th and OCTOBER 11th- Holiday Mini Sessions
Mini sessions are scheduled at Kanapaha Botanical Gardens (10/10) and the Thomas Center (10/11). Each 30 minute session will focus on getting the perfect family portrait for your holiday cards. Once your photos are edited you will be invited to view the JLS Photography Holiday Card Collection to choose a design for your holiday cards or prints for gift giving.

OCTOBER 24th- ROCKSTAR BOUDOIR MARATHON

NOVEMBER 15- all holiday card pre order payments are due by this date and will be processed at this time. That means if you have preordered your holiday cards from a session during 2009 then you will receive them right around Thanksgiving.

NOVEMBER 22- last day for sessions to be completed for holiday cards and gifts. Any sessions taking place after this date are not guaranteed to have orders back in time for the holidays.

DECEMBER 6- Last day for holiday orders to be placed.

DECEMBER 15- Last day for RUSH holiday orders to be placed. ($30 rush order fee)

Space is filling up rapidly from now until the end of 2009, so if you are interested in booking a session contact me today to pick a date and time. I am also accepting deposits for the January Rockstar Boudoir Marathon to be held 01/09/10.

Giving Really IS Awesome/ Gainesville Photographer

jls photography — Sun, 30 Aug 2009 00:15:25 +0000

At the end of last year I announced the Giving is Awesome contest here on the blog. Perhaps you remember the story of Mia and her battle with Multiple Sclerosis. Click here for the full post. Even though Mia won the photo session in January, her constant fight with her disease had her in and out of the hospital for the majority of this year. Mia had contacted me and was so greatful for the opportunity to have family portraits done, but she knew she did not want to be in a wheelchair at their session. So with that determination, Mia has fought hard and when we met last week at the Thomas Center for their photo session, she was walking completely unassisted. It was absolutely wonderful to meet such a loving and caring family, whose trials and tribulations this past year and a half have brought them so much closer together. Mia’s positive outlook on everything is infectious, and I had a huge smile on my face the entire time I was with her and her family.

Giving truly is awesome. I felt like a million dollars. If you know anyone that might be a great candidate for the Giving is Awesome campaign this year, please feel free to share their story with me. I will make a formal announcement on the blog as it gets closer to the holiday season.

And- since giving is SO awesome- I am going to be doing some giveaways this week. I will be posting several sneak peeks and information posts this week, and for those readers who leave comments on the blog I will be giving away some prizes in the form of discounts on prints and a FREE SESSION! So- start leaving comments and win some prizes!!!

Just One More Reason Why I LOVE My Clients!/ Gainesville Wedding Photographer

jls photography — Thu, 23 Jul 2009 14:32:47 +0000

For those of you who follow JLS Photography on Facebook and Twitter you might remember me mentioning the BIG opportunity that was happening for the business. I recently met with Angela from A’vie Wedding and Event Planning to become one of her recommended vendors. Angela, and the rest of the A’vie staff that I was lucky enough to meet, was absolutely amazing and we hit it off immediately. Hiring a wedding planner is one luxury that I think all brides should splurge on as it helps every aspect of your wedding day stay organized and stress free.

One of my late summer brides, Jessica, is actually working for A’vie, so Angela asked her to write a little blurb on their blog about JLS Photography. I am incredibly touched by Jessica’s kind words, and it is just another reason why I love my clients so much!
