Slow Season Specials
If you haven’t already taken advantage of our slow season specials, don’t forget — the last day we’re scheduling portrait sessions at this rate is May 25th. All sessions scheduled after this date will be at our regular pricing. For more details, visit the blog!

Attention Class of 2010 Seniors!
We’re seeking our next group of Senior Spokesmodels to represent Reflections of Life Photography — know a soon-to-be high school senior residing in Henderson, Smith, Van Zandt, or Kaufman Counties? Tell them to visit http://reflectionsphoto.org/blog/2009/2010seniors for details ASAP! The postmark deadline to apply is Saturday, March 14th.

While we’re on the subject of seniors …

Class of 2009 seniors — don’t procrastinate any longer, book your session now and take advantage of our slow season specials! To guarantee you have prints in time to mail out with your announcements, schedule your session by April 5th!

Upcoming Pricing Update
Rather than implementing a drastic change in print/product pricing from my portfolio building rates, I am implementing pricing changes in three stages: Stage I was implemented in January 2009; Stage 2 will be in June 2009, and Stage 3 will in January 2010.

If you’ve been holding out on booking a portraiture session, now is is the time to book & schedule one for you or your family, our prices won’t be this low again! All sessions scheduled through the end of May will receive the current print/product pricing. Questions — just let me know!

Also, in June we’ll be making changes to our a la carte and collection offerings — new products will be added, a few will be saying farewell, and some of our current products will be revamped.

We’ve already made a small change you can take advantage of now — our digital collections now include a print product based on the collection level. 

New Look to the Blog …
While I’m not quite through making tweaks just yet, I’ve just revamped the blog. Same colors, same logo — but the banner image is now a flash slideshow with some of our 2008 + a few early 2009 sessions featured. Also watch the bio picture — it rotates between an image Robby captured of me and one of the both of us.

Also, the menus just below the banner slideshow are organized for easy access to information. Run your cursor over the ‘recently’ section to see our recent tweets at twitter.com. Haven’t heard of Twitter? Its all the rage — or whatever the trendy word of the moment is! Everyone at WFAA in Dallas is twittering constantly (love their weather and traffic updates!), as well as Demi Moore, Ashton Kutcher, and Shaq — as in Shaquille O’Neal — just to name a few. Follow us and you might have the opportunity to win prizes for just following. We’ll also post occasional trivia questions for discounts on portrait sessions and prints.
