2010: A year
of changes ...
Let's see what's coming up for CMP this
year ...
... a new session option (Serendipity Sessions) and a new name for
our original session option (Off the Beaten Track Sessions).
... completely revamped product line (if you can get it at a
discount printer, its probably no longer in our product lineup)
... a new pet portraiture subdivision --
Sit.Stay.Snap.
Pet Photography. The gallery's still
under construction, but you can stop by the
blog
in the meantime for a sneak peek!
... a new look to
the
CMP blog
-- as well as some reorganizing! Visit the new
splash page for the primary links.
... two new portfolio sites -- one for the
portraiture & commercial
session work and one for my
fine art, travel, and landscape
photographic art.
... making time for a few personal and business projects in the
works, so we'll be limiting how many sessions we're commissioned for
in 2010.
... making time for family, pets, and friends, as well as my health
and happiness ... all work and no play makes for a very tired
photographer!
... we'll be closed during the
months of May and December (no sessions, only session scheduling
and order processing -- first half of each month only; we'll be
closed the last two weeks of both months for all business functions).
Be sure to pay attention to the deadlines posted
here for
session scheduling and ordering deadlines.
... more travels around the US in 2010 on the agenda ... where, you
ask? Well, that's a surprise ;) And yes --we'll be doing the
Comments for Charity again in conjunction with those travels ...
Thanks for two and a half great years so far -- and here's to making
2010 the best year for CMP yet!

The Top 13 of 2009
Over Christmas weekend, I sat down and
picked my favorite image from each client session in 2009, then
enlisted two elves to help narrow them down further. The result --
the Top 13 of 2009! Votes were left between the 28th and the 31st --
and the winner, who'll receive a 10x15 luxe mounted print -- will be
announced on January 2nd. Drop by the
blog
to see who won ... and view those 13 and several others in the new
slideshow header!
Giving Is Awesome!
On Sunday, January
3rd, I'll post the winner of the Giving Is Awesome portraiture
session giveaway on the blog ... visit

Seniors 2010!
Our deadline for full custom Senior

1st. Don't fret -- you can still take advantage of the April 18th
Serendipity Session date in Athens for last minute mini senior
sessions! We're taking the month of May off (from sessions, we'll be busy
filling orders during the first half of the month only as well as traveling), so don't procrastinate!
A senior only session deal will be announced very soon, along with
special edition collections that include bulk wallets, customized
graduation announcements, and coordinating Thank You cards. Keep an
eye on the blog for details as they won't be emailed out!
Serendipity
Sessions!
CMP has added a new session to the
lineup for 2010 -- Serendipity Sessions! Can't afford a full
custom session but love our work? Our Serendipity Sessions last
only 30-45 minutes (compared to the 90 minute to two hours that
our full sessions last), are less customized, and have a limited
product line ... but if you choose the Luxe version of the
Serendipity Sessions, you'll also receive the basic color proofed
digital files as well as a couple other Signature Line products!
