Kid/Family Session SALE and GIVEAWAY!!

Well if you haven’t heard yet, I am changing the course of my business to kid photography! I will still accept 10 weddings per year, but my new venture will be photographing YOUR fun kids and families!

Since I have ALWAYS turned away kids and most family sessions I wanted to extend a discount to maybe bring those people back:).

My session package is normally $500 and includes $200 in prints. Well if you book a kid/family session by the first of April (you must purchaseit by April, but can use it through the middle of  July before we move to Oklahoma) then I am giving a new package like this one…

$500 package, but instead of only $200 in prints, this one will have $400 in prints! WOW!!

Book here now!

To get the word out about this I will need your help! Post this link (http://laurenclarkphotography.com/blog/kidfamily-session-sale/)  or explain what’s going with the giveaway on your facebook status, blog, or twitter with this link and then leave  a comment. In two weeks I’ll draw a name and that family will get a FREE FAMILY SESSION with $400 credit to spend, absolutely FREE!!! Thanks for your help, now get posting and start winning!

Up from the grave

Has anyone else noticed that I have a ton of blog posts lately? My favorite movie is Catch and Release and I love the chubby guy who always wears Joseph’s coat of many colors, when he came into the herbal tea company he said “I am back, I am back in a BIG, BIG way”. That is how I feel with all of these blog posts, I’m back in a BIG way! Remember how I used to post suff everyday? I think I’m headed back in that direction. I still have about 50 emails and facebook messages to respond to, a big blog post of For The Love, and by Monday I will have 3 new sessions to show!

For now, here is a picture of a waterfall in Cade’s Cove, Tennessee!

Update!

I am about to have a TON of posts! I would be much faster if my server wasn’t about to crash. For the last month or two we haven’t been able to get our server up to speed and it has been slowly sucking the life out of our computers! All three of us have only been able to work off of Josh’s Mac and it hasn’t been easy coordinating that, and luckily, my awesome computer guy is coming over Saturday to work on it all for us. Josh spent the day yesterday backing up everything onto another hard drive just in case it went kaput, and this left me with no access to anything recent to work on. I found some old DVDs from the Honduras photos we took and started adding them to a gallery in a website that I bought a long time ago for seniors. I am going to turn it into my kid’s photography website, so go and check out the gallery that I made from Honduras yesterday!

Here is the link.

Lots of work coming up!!

Leaving for Tennessee!

Tomorrow I will be flying out to Knoxville, Tennessee for For The Love Workshop!!

I think I will be blogging while I’m there because I know you are super bored with me lately. Want to make a last minute decision to come? It starts Monday! Come on over today to the website and join us! www.fortheloveworkshop.com

UNO DVD Testimonial

Just in from an email…

“ I just wanted to write a quick THANK YOU for coming out with Uno!  It is fantastic!!  I purchased it before Christmas and didn’t have a chance to view it until last night and I was blown away!  It was just the simple tutorial that I needed!  I stayed up WAY too late playing with my photos, using the new techniques. 

Thank you for taking the time to create it and share it with all of us! 

God’s many blessings to you!!

UNO DVD is a 1 hour photoshop tutorial that I made and am selling so that other people can skip ahead of the learning curve and know how to use it! Buy it for $25 off here!

Rev is hairy and more updates…

Look how hairy my sweet horse is now compared to September! This is a strange sight when I was photographing Erin and Kris at the horse farm a few weeks ago. I walked up and didn’t see my horse. I was a little worried that someone had taken him and then as we got closer I saw that he was hiding behind his blanket lying on the ground. At first I thought he had choliced. We walked into the pen and he still was lying there. Kris went up and started petting him and he still stayed there. Finally I kissed a few times and he got up. I have never seen him so relaxed! This is Rev’s last 2 full weeks at the Coyote Run Ranch before I move him onto Tim’s land and let him run free on 40 acres! YAY!

We are still showing our house. I hope to be able to sell it this month. These 2 winter months are our slowest and when March comes around I’m practically not even human I’m so busy. I hope we can pack up and settle into a rent house before then! Coldwell Banker’s 40 realtors are coming by for a tour today. I hope someone has a buyer for me! We almost had a bite but I guess the colors were a bit much for them.

Our trip to Ruidoso was fun. Funny pictures from that trip coming tonight!

I have been buying quite a few books lately on outdoor living spaces and gardening. Any gardeners out there? When we move this summer I want to start preparing some compost and getting a half acre ready for a veggie garden!

I ordered this once I saw it on my FAVORITE BLOG and just love it. This is a hip way to display your family tree from My Tree & Me.

Winner, Winner, Chicken Dinner

Yesterday and some of today I spent about 2 hours cutting out about 1000 tiny strips of paper with comments, tweets and parts of pictures for the $1000 giveaway! I was originally supposed to draw on Sunday, November 1st, but I’m teaching a group Brainwash that day in Dallas, so today was the day! I piled all of the little twigs into my office chair and Josh reached in and pulled one out! Do you know who you are??? I do!

Meet me, this Friday… for a great cause!

The First Friday Art Trail in Lubbock is a fun thing (I think, I’ve never actually been:) down in the depot district that you can walk around and look at local artists and their work. Well the lovely Shari Henson has been gracious enough to do all of the dirty work and get our Hope For Honduras photos displayed and for sale (all proceeds go to hope4honduras.org) at The Legacy from 6-9 Pm.

Here is the website. I’ll be there with her trying to get everyone to help support the missionaries who carry the burden in that community. The least we can do is send them a gift to keep them running… and buy some good photos while we are doing it!
