Thanks to all that stopped by … and for those that joined the email newsletter list and were eligible for the ‘mini’ door prizes, you should have an email from me by tomorrow at the very latest! If not, you’re probably one of four people whose inbox was full or came back as a closed account … contact me at christina@christinamccall.com ASAP so I can send you your email!

And if you were the winner of the Scavenger Hunt Door Prize (hosted by the Chamber) of a full portrait session + the 10×20 storyboard, contact me to get that scheduled! Unfortunately the Chamber didn’t tell me who won … so call or email as soon as possible!

Yup, that was me — and yes, I have two Santa hats on. The elf refused to wear one and was grumpy when I took his picture, so I’ll be kind and not post it

… for those curious about the new bio pic at the top of the page — not the one of me just above this paragraph (click here if you’re reading this in Google Reader or another RSS reader to see) … I figured I’d go ahead and explain the smirk. That was an impromptu ‘mini headshot session’ at sunset — I had to wait for a certain elf to show up after he got out of class. Meanwhile, a certain cat saw the camera, and well, he just had to be in the thick of it. Camera ham. Pay close attention to the direction of my eyes and right hand … between shutter clicks, I was pushing him aside so Robby could get one good shot of me alone! Thus the smirk as he was giving me a “I thought you loved me look”. Course, about 30 seconds later, that facial expression changed to “Hurry up and get a good shot” as I was balancing my weight on that left leg since that trailer wasn’t attached to anything!

We’ll be there, complete with samples ranging from our premium and luxe prints to our albums and canvases. In addition to the full session + 10×20 storyboard collage  ($260 value) that we’re contributing to the door prizes for the scavenger hunt, stop by our booth, sign up for the email newsletter list and be entered to win a few other mini doorprizes!

Even if you’re already on the email mailing list, stop by anyway — only those that sign up in person are eligible for the mini door prizes … and the first 100 people to stop by the booth will also get a promo card with a limited time discount code good for $25 off the creative fee … as well as a sneak peek at some of our 2010 promotions.

Secondly — but more importantly …

Next Tuesday evening, November 17th, from 4 pm – 7 pm, come out to the Cain Center in Athens for the Home for the Holidays Expo hosted by the Athens Chamber of Commerce.

In addition to the full session + 10×20 storyboard collage ($260 value) that we’re contributing to the door prizes for the scavenger hunt, stop by our booth, sign up for the email newsletter list and be entered to win a few other mini door prizes!

In addition to all of that, we’re also planning to set up a corner of the booth for Holiday Headshots!

– complete with a black & white damask backdrop, a wingback chair, and a skinny Christmas tree decked out in our booth colors. Digital files & prints from the holiday headshots will be available for purchase online within a week or two of the expo!

Look for the pink & green booth … that’ll be us!
