Attention Athens, East Texas, and DFW area seniors (and their parents)!

Graduation is just around the corner and before you know it, it’ll be time to send out graduation announcements and to swap wallets of your awesome senior portraits with your friends and classmates. Don’t wait until the last minute to book & shoot your senior portraits … Christina McCall Photography has Class of 2011 special collection options (which include your session fee) available for booking right now!

As of today … only seven more full custom senior portrait appointment times are available this spring!

Want more details? Email CMP at christina [at] christinamccall [dot] com, call 903.477.9069, or use the contact form!

The last day to schedule a senior session this spring is April 22nd — all sessions held after this date aren’t guaranteed to have your print/custom portrait art order in your hands before your graduation date!

Technically the 12 Days of Christmas don’t begin until Christmas Day … however, because I know all of you are going to be busy enjoying the holidays and time away from the office and computer during that time period (like I plan to do as well), CMP’s 12 Days of Giving is starting a bit early … as in Monday, December 13th!

What is CMP giving away, you ask? Well … the specific daily gifts are a surprise, but the total value of all 12 days worth of gifts is nearly $1,900.00! Just the last two days combined gift value is $900.00!

So … don’t forget:

… drop by DAILY to enter (i.e. comment on that day’s post) to win. Posts will be live as of  12:01 am CST each day — and the deadline to enter is 8 pm CST that evening. Winner will be announced before 10 pm CST each evening — my dear friend random.org will help select the winner each night.

… tell everyone you know to drop by and enter to win!

… limit one prize (aka gift) per person/household to be fair — I want to spread the Christmas cheer all around!

Back when it was quite a bit toastier (weather-wise) out, I met up with Shelby for a vintage inspired portrait session …

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!

Katy’s already given birth to her little one — a much anticipated arrival since he was very much wanted and planned for … but here’s a few images from her maternity session to reminisce with …

Knowing how very much this little one was wanted, I couldn’t resist manipulating the late afternoon sun to create a little starburst of sunlight shining down upon Katy!

… and of course, one more bump pic to wrap up with!

Congrats Katy & Austin!
