Site and Email Down

Yes, the site and email are down. After a lot of trouble we have gotten it figured and the site and my email will be up hopefully by tomorrow. If you have been emailing me I have not gotten anything since Saturday... I think...and will get back to you asap!!

A little peek for Charlotte, my Britsh Daaling. All I can say is hot stuff.

12 Days till Christmas

I am wrapping up all the last touches for Christmas and it feels so good to be ready for once! We are in for a super cold weekend and I hope you all have plenty of hot chocolate and good books. And movies for the kids so you can read your good books. :)

We had a great Farmers Market yesterday and Angie Roe won the draw for a free session. I only have a few slots left for Feb and am mostly booking into March. If you are thinking about spring sessions, now is the time to book. I am also already booking Grade 12 students ( seniors or grads ) for their sessions. These fill up fast and I am can only do a limited amount once grad is here. Spring break is a great time to do those sessions so Moms, gift certificates for stockings for those are a great idea.

I also have a two new antique temple pictures that will be done on Canvas only and I am putting in my last order for these for Christmas today. If you are interested in these for gifts, call me and I can give you the link to see them. Christmas pricing ends today.

WEDLUXE magazine came out this week and Kristy looks beautiful! They did a great job on the ad! Go grab a copy, this is such a fun magazine, very well done and the nice part about it, is that it is all for western Canada. If your getting married this year, you'll love the ideas they have.

Have a great weekend and I hope you all stay WARM!!

Coming...

New look, new website, new pricing, new coming. Closer than ever. This weekend close. Get ready for:
new pictures,

online shopping cart..hurray!!

Just as a note:

** I am currently booking for FEB 2009. There are NO spots left but I do have a waiting list for cancellations.

** New pricing in effect once website launches. It was supposed to already be in effect but I am a wimp. But only for a few more days.

** Last day to order ANYTHING FOR CHRISTMAS is THURSDAY DECEMBER 4TH BY 6PM. No exceptions on this. If your order is not in, you will have to wait for the new year. I know earlier I posted it would be Dec 10th but due to shipping and my new vendor holiday schedule, I wont be printing or ordering anything after Thursday.

I know you've been waiting...

Okay Nedra, I know you are dying and here is your girl. All I can say is you will be sooo happy when you get these all and yes I am going to spoon feed them to you. I love this couple; KD was so sweet and sported some pretty funky bright pink shoes, and I have known Dillion forever. He has one of the best families and I love them all. I am so excited to finish these up. But until then.....

My 8 posts

Okay okay, I know, I promise to post everyday and then I don't for eight days. Lame I know. So to make up for it I am going to post eight times. Good things come in big packages right?

So here are 8 posts. And because it is 2am and I am way beyond caring about the order this ended up in you have to scroll all the way to the bottom and maybe even on the older post page to get the 1st one. They are all labeled but I posted them backwards. Oh well. Hope you find them all and enjoy!!!

Number 8

The Christmas Farmers Market will be held in Cardston on December the 12th from 11am to 6pm at the civic center. There are lots of great booths too see and yummy Christmas baking to buy. But this year you wont want to miss our booth and all the new things to see. A newborn baby book, wall collections, gallery wrap canvas's, storyboards, new albums, new prints and new framing.

The biggest thing about the market for us is our December Promotion. As pricing as just changed this promo will mean even more. Each December we do double dollar gift certificates meaning you spend $150 and you get $300 worth of sessions. Nice. I wish I could do that for groceries, clothes and vehicles. Maybe Dodge will catch on. So here is the big deal. The new pricing for sessions goes as follows:

$150 for families for up to 4 people only. Each additional person is $25 each. There is no print credit or package with this. As I take time to photograph each person individually in every shoot on top of the groupings it is absolutely killing me for editing and post processing time. There are way to many pictures to go through. That is the reason for the extra charge.

So When you buy a gift certificate at the market under the double dollar promo and you have 4 people, you would normally have to pay $150 for the session only. However, with the certificate, you can get an entire extra session all for the same $150. Nice! Huge! And what great Christmas gifts!!! However, these are only good for sessions and only good for 3 months, and the minimum double dollar gift certificate is $150, no exceptions. You can buy smaller gift certificates, under regular terms, as in $50 gets you a $50 gift card.

See you all there!!!

A ladies man, a princess and a turkey = the Jaques Family and notice there is no c. JAQUES; pronounced jakes, not jacks, jack, jack....as...s, jauk-es, or anything close to those. Simply Jakes, except spelled Jaques. Did I mention no c?

Okay now that that is off my chest and you all know the reason why it is silverline photography and not heather something very wrongly pronouced photography we can move on. Here is my fam. This has been a long time coming. For some reason, family pictures tend to be one of the more painful experiences for us. I seem to have a vision of what I want in my head like I do with most shoots but cannot ever nail it with us. For starters I hate hate my picture taken. Like the rest of you girls I am way to critical of myself and since the losing of about 15 lbs too many I really dont like looking at them. But here they are and this is us. I have come to the conclusion that for the family shots I am going to hire another photographer to do it. Becca did these for us and did a fantastic job. The only problem is that Becca is basically another mother to these wonderful children and they just dont listen to her either. If anyone is up for trades, me do yours you do mine I am all over it. Just let me know!!! Please!!!

Number 6

Time and Brittany: My brother and his little family just live a block away and my kids adore his. Aaron loves to stop by on his way home from school to play with the girls. It is one of the funnest sounds when Hallie walks through the door and everyone runs shouting her name. The little girls love love love to play princess and Hallie was Ariel for Halloween, which was pretty funny. Ava is such a sweetie and said cheese and posed the entire time. I couldn't believe someone so little already knew how to work it for me. Sooo cute. We love you guys!

Then there is Mom and Dad and the "singles". They are all going to kill me for posting that too. Scott still lives at home and we call him the grandchild as he is the last of 9 kids and gets treated more like a grandchild than a child. But because we all feel bad for the depletion of genes he probly carries we love him anyway. Hehe. Lindsay, Hilary and Becca all live together in Lethbridge. I love my sisters so much. My family for me is my number one strength; My immediate and my husband and kids. Without any of them I couldn't do photography, or really anything else for that matter.

Number 5

Clark and Deb Williams; this was one of if not the best shoot ever. The lighting was great, the shoot went smoothly and quickly, no wind, fun spots and they were open to anything. They were so Easy with a capital E to work with, and I could not have ended a busy day better than with this fam. I am stoked to see some of these in print, on Canvas. Love them!

Number 4

The Helland Fam: I think I found some great friends. Lori and Jarrett are wonderful and the kids are right there with them. I love these guys so much. When I went to Vulcan, it was Lori who booked me and found other families to fill the day and I was so grateful for all her time organizing it. Another family thought we had known each other for a long time and was surprised when he learned we had just met. It was funny. Lori also got introduced into a whole new world of 'barning', something for another post after we do some more of it. Hehe. I had a lot of fun with these guys and cant wait to see them later this week.
