{In the Know ~ July 2009}

Are you enjoying your summer? I sure am, but it’s not slow and lazy, I'm as busy as ever. I want to let you know about an exciting new promotion I'm staging this fall. It’s my Santa Charity Event that I will be doing with GivingIsAwesome. Think of someone you know that deserves custom photography but can't afford it. You know someone. You know someone who's experienced a tragedy, is struggling to stay afloat, is raising kids while holding down more than one job, or is volunteering selflessly despite extenuating personal circumstances. You know someone who can't afford custom photography, but who would cherish it this holiday season. You know someone who deserves a year-round reminder of their family's spirit, love, and beauty. You know someone. I guarantee it. Nominations will be accepted starting this fall so keep this in mind. Details & rules will be posted at the beginning of this promotion. Please spread the word. Oh, and the best part? The person who nominates the winner receives a print credit. What better reason to show some love could there possibly be?

Day at the Beach mini-sessions scheduled for the end of this month have been changed to Countryside Picnic Pursuits due to the high rain volumes earlier this summer have made our beach disappear. Samples of the NEW Countryside Picnic Pursuits are directly below this post. Spots are still available for July 30th & 31st and also adding August 1st. Mini-sessions are 30 minutes for $50 with packages starting at $35. Call or e-mail immediately to make sure you get your session scheduled before all spots are filled.

I'm hosting a party! A Facebook party!
More and more we’re connecting through social media, so why not look your best to all your old and new online friends? Get some friends together and join the fun for my weekly Facebook Fête. Most every Wednesday evening, Captured By Lisa Photography, LLC hosts a Facebook Fête. Come and enjoy a welcome break from your hectic week. I’ll treat
you to a cold beverage and a tasty treat while you take a moment to relax and be pampered. For only $25, you’ll get an image you’d be proud to share on the World Wide Web. Bring a friend or two and you’ll each get an image for $12.50. The portrait session will last 10 minutes, and you’ll have a choice of locations to create a casual, personality-driven image. A few days after your portrait’s taken, the image will be uploaded to the Captured By Lisa Photography, LLC album, and I’ll email you a link so you can download the image yourself to your desktop to use on your social networking or e-dating sites.

I want you to be the first to know about my 48-Hour-the-more-you-spend-the-more-you-save sale! Purchase a $75 certificate on September 4th and September 5th, and receive an additional $25. The more certificates you buy, the more money you save on everything from portrait sessions, prints & albums. There is no limit to how many certificates you may purchase, but the certificates must be purchased September 4th & 5th.

Are you considering updating your family portrait this summer? Make the most of nature’s beauty, and have a family portrait session in one of our lovely local parks. Take advantage of the beautiful landscapes in our area, I’ve scouted out several breathtaking locations to suit every family’s style. Want a portrait in a formal garden? Beneath lush trees with billowing grasses? How about a backdrop that is pure Utah? I’ve got the perfect location for you!

{Munns Fam - Countryside Picnic Pursuits}

Well, since we have been blessed abundantly with what feels like record breaking rain this summer in our desert state, we do not have a beach suitable for the "Day at the Beach" mini sessions that are planned for the end of the month (the water was all the way up to the road at the beach I had planned for). But, do not despair! As my good friends from out of state show here, we got some fantastic shots close to where I was planning the mini-sessions. These are so beautiful and I'm almost willing to say better than what I was planning on the beach. So I'm changing the "Day at the Beach" mini-sessions to "Countryside Picnic Pursuits". Dates, times & prices for this will remain the same, details HERE. Enjoy, these & I look forward to seeing YOU at the mini-sessions in a couple of weeks. Be sure to call soon to reserve your spot.

This family has been my good friends for over 10 years now. Wow, how time flies. I can't believe how big their boys are getting, and let me tell you... that lil' one sure made me baby hungry, what a doll! I sure do miss them since they've moved away. KT has been such a strength to me at some very low points in my life, & I'm honored that she came all the way over here just so I can take her family picutes... LOL, well, I can pretend that is why she came all the way back to UT. Anyway, this was such a fun session & we were so lucky to have a rainbow. I thurouly enjoyed it. And lil C (ok, maybe I should say big C now that he is an older brother) even thanked me for taking his family pictures as we were saying g'bye. Melt my HEART!

{Shantay's Bridals Part II}

Ok, because this gal is the luckiest gal on earth, (she's marrying my lil' bro) we decided to do a second session of bridals at several other fantastic locations. Forgive me for posting so many, I couldn't decide what not to include. The wedding is this weekend... CAN'T WAIT!!





























Now, this one is... well, very different. It's a technique I learned this week and just wanted to show it off a little. The original is posted above, the third one down to be exact. Some of you may think it's really bizarre, but I love it!! ... so with out any further delay...

{A Day At The Beach}

{Shantay's Bridals}

I am so excited for this beautiful young woman's wedding day. We had so much fun out on several locations. Even though in the end I was bruised and bleeding, it was SO worth it!

{In the Know ~ June 2009}

Ahh, summertime!
I hope you’re enjoying the season and are having fun making wonderful family memories. I'm busy creating beautiful portraits for my clients. Some of the special themes I'm concentrating on are...

Limited Edition "A Day At The Beach" Mini Sessions: These location sessions capture beautiful images of your children dressed in their own swim attire (whether it be old-time bathing suits, enchanting mermaid costumes, or tutu's & rain boots), taken at a beautiful beach full of sand, shells, and drift wood. July dates open now. Sessions will be $50 and packages starting at $35.

Early Bird Christmas Card Portrait Mini Sessions: These location sessions will be set up to take place during August & not only will put you ahead of the Christmas card game & relieve you of the stress that comes during that time of year, but will also save you cash by doing it as a mini session. Sessions will be $50 & Christmas card packages start at $25. Believe me, you will not want to miss out on this. Christmas card prices will only be this low during this short time.

Fall Family Portraits: Imagine the beautiful colors of autumn as a backdrop to your next family portrait. Right now is the time to be thinking about this. Don’t wait to schedule your appointment. If you miss out, it will be another year until the gorgeous autumn colors are blazing again.

Outdoor Portraits: Take advantage of the scenic area we live in, and create a family portrait in one of our beautiful, local parks this summer.

Save the date. My 1st Annual Halloween Charity Bash is going to be a blast! Dates & times TBA soon. My 1st Halloween Charity Bash benefits a local children's hospital and the Utah Food Bank. Canned goods (or a $5 donation) are collected in exchange for a 4x5 portrait of your little “trick or treater” in the pumpkin patch.

**If you would like specifics e-mailed to you as soon as they are available, please e-mail me at CAPTUREDBYL {AT} GMAIL {DOT} COM. Also, I'm getting ready to launch a baby program & children's program that will offer many benefits including something extra special for birthdays.

{It's OFFICIAL!!}

My website is now officially LAUNCHED!! I can not tell you how thrilled I am about this! Please check it out and let me know what you think. Keep in mind I still have several galleries to add (children/babies, seniors, families, etc.) and more info too. Also, I have been working VERY hard on some really great promotions that I will be running thru the rest of 2009. I think that you as my clients will be very pleased to see these offered. Please e-mail me or leave me a comment with your e-mail & snail-mail address so that I can notify you personally when these promotions will take place. You won't want to miss out on the one coming up for August,... let's just say that it will really help you out come Christmas card time.

{Swede ~ Senior 2009}

We had so much fun on this session. What a handsome & funny guy. It was really nice to finally get to take pictures of a guy who actually likes to smile. Of course I made sure we got some serious ones as well. Thanks Swede for letting me be your senior photographer!
