Just a few highlights from the October – December 2010 newsletter that went out to the mailing list earlier this week …

Almost full for 2010!
Wanting to have portraits made for holiday gifts or to enclose in Christmas cards (or to be printed as Christmas cards)? As of Tuesday, October 12th, CMP still had the remaining openings:
October 23 — The Bump Maternity Minis: 1 space left
November 6 — Holiday Minis: 1 space left
November 13 — Holiday Minis: 2 spaces left
December 4 — The Bump Maternity Minis: 2 spaces left
Full custom sessions: 2 openings (late October only)
Also, the appointment times set aside for the Early Bird Special still have 5 spaces left – in late October, early November, and on December 5th! These are only for school-aged children, tweens, and teens/seniors … perfect for the holidays or seniors on a budget for their senior portraits!

Twelve Days of Giving!
Beginning on December 13, CMP will be celebrating Christmas a bit early by giving out nearly $1900 worth of sessions, print credits, prints, and custom designed boutique photo products over a twelve day period.
All you have to do is stop by daily through December 24th and comment on the blog post of the prize(s) you desire to have a chance to win! And, yes, I’ll post a reminder a bit closer to the start date …

Top 12 of 2010
Last year was the first year I selected my absolute favorite images from that year and allowed clients, their families and friends, and other site visitors to pick their absolute favorite. Since it was a hit last year, I’m already narrowing down my favorite images (and will continue to do through the last sessions on December 5th) — on Monday, December 27th, I’ll launch the top 12 images and the poll to vote for your favorite. The deadline to vote is Friday, December 31st at midnight CST — the winner will be announced on Monday, January 3rd!
The winner will receive an 11×14 Signature Line Wall Art Print of their winning image ($100 value)!

Sit.Stay.Snap.’s new site …
In late September I launched a revamped Sit.Stay. Snap. portfolio site, which includes new images from pet sessions yet to be blogged … drop by and check out the new site – it’s iphone/ipad and smartphone friendly (or, if you have an
Android phone with Adobe Flash, you can view the site as-is from the web)!
Also, follow Sit.Stay.Snap. on Facebook (it finally has its own Facebook page!) and Twitter @sitstaysnap!
