{Spirit Seniors 2011}

Do you know any high school juniors who want to have some fun (free) portrait sessions with their friends and get discounts on next year’s senior portraits? I'm looking for kids to be Spirit Seniors.

A Spirit Senior is a coordinator who gets some friends together for a portrait session to create images I’ll use in my marketing. The students will also receive two additional portrait sessions where they can create new photos for their Facebook account. The Spirit Seniors must be in the 2011 graduating class.

Kids love to act as models, have a great time, and get cool photos with their friends that they’ll cherish forever.

A Spirit Senior receives:

A Spirit Album

A free senior portrait session

$100 off your senior portrait order

$10 for each referral

Awesome images for your Facebook account

And more!

Spirit participants receive:

A free senior  portrait session

$50 off your senior portrait order

Awesome images for your Facebook account

And more!

We’re going to be selecting our Spirit Seniors soon, so if you’re interested, call 801-317-3242 now for more information.

March is the first month of spring and already we are anticipating spring’s gorgeous colors. In the

custom postcards and business cards are the perfect touch to announce your celebration. Call today

to schedule a complimentary senior design session. Order your senior card set by April 10th and

winning family takes home a new car and ALL proceeds benefit the Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep

Foundation, a non-profit that connects families with photographers who provide the gift of infant

remembrance photography at no cost. For more information on this moving organization, visit www.

My lil trick or treaters

{Santa Charity Event}

Holiday Giveaway - Nominate someone today!  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.

I want to know who they are, and I want to give them the chance to experience complimentary custom photography – $200 worth, to be exact. Whether it's a custom book, canvas, prints for Grandma, or a slide show to watch over and over...it's in your power to give them the artwork they deserve this holiday season. 

Oh, and the best part? The person who nominates the winner receives a $50 print credit. What better reason to show some love could there possibly be?

The rules: You cannot nominate yourself, and the person nominated must sincerely be incapable of purchasing my services. (Being unable to make mortgage payments for a two-million-dollar-home does not qualify as sincere financial need.)

The nominee must reside/be willing to travel to the Utah Wasatch Front (Cache, Weber, Davis, Salt Lake counties) area. Tell me who you know, what they're experiencing, and why they deserve my artwork. Please include a way to contact both your nominee and yourself as well.


You must have your nomination in by December 18th at Midnight.

Comment on this blog entry to let me know you've entered, and e-mail me the full story: capturedbyl@gmail.com. The winner will be announced on Christmas Eve...get nominating! I can't wait to read all of your entries!

Open your heart to someone this holiday season – and thanks for giving me the opportunity to open mine.

Many thanks to the other photographers joining me in this spirit. If you are not local to me check out Giving Is Awesome to see if there's someone closer to home for winning portrait-y goodness!

{In the Know ~ October 2009}

I hope you savor the lovely month of October. The shortened days are illuminated with the halcyon light of the shifting autumn sun that gives new life to familiar scenery, and the vibrant colors of the season are painted with bold strokes of gold, mulberry, and scarlet across the landscape. Breathtaking, isn’t it?

Autumn is one of the most beautiful times of year to have an outdoor portrait taken. Fall portraits are especially stunning when you wear lovely jewel tones colors, navy blue, hunter green, denim, black, or any combination of brown tones. Consider scheduling an appointment before the season’s colors fade.

This year Captured By Lisa Photography, LLC is participating in the International Charity Model Search to select North America’s Cutest Family, and you’re invited to enter the competition. Many prizes will be awarded, and the grand prize winner receives a new car! You know you’re family’s good looking, now you can prove it. Call the studio to hear about our special contest pricing.  Besides being a fun contest, the International Charity Model Search also raises funds for Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep (NILMDTD). NILMDTS is a 501(C)(3) non-profit organization committed to assisting parents and families going through the difficult time when they experience an early infant loss. NILMDTS connects families with photographers and provides them with a DVD and a reproducible CD of the images of their baby. For further information on NILMDTS, visit www.nowilaymedowntosleep.org.  Last year’s Charity Model Search was a huge success, with 2,000 model’s images entered into the contest and $164,775 raised for the Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep organization.  For more information about the International Charity Model Search, please visit the International Charity Model Search  website.

{Halloween Charity Bash}

Why won't the skeleton go to our Halloween Party? 
Because he has no body to go with, poor soul.

But you're invited!!

I'm getting excited about my upcoming Halloween Charity Bash, 

and I hope you’ll join me. Bring a canned/packaged food donation 


or $5, and get a free portrait of your trick or treaters at 

The (Haunted) Timbermine in Ogden.


1701 Park Blvd.

This event is designed for families looking for 


something better than the usual 


Halloween-fright-and-candy-fest. 


More importantly, the Halloween Charity Bash benefits charity.

My Halloween Charity Bash will take place on 


Saturday, October 31st 


from 10:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m.

Your children will learn the value of giving to those less fortunate. 


Our event benefits the 

Utah Food Bank 

&


a local children's hospital. 

Canned goods (or a $5 donation) are collected in exchange for 


a 4x5 portrait of your little “trick or treater.” 

Feel free to bring your own camera and snap away! 


You’ll have a frightfully good time.

*No donations in glass jars, please. Limit one free 4x5 per family.

{In the Know ~ September 2009}

Don’t you just love how life switches gears when September rolls around? I do. My days become a bit more predictable, schedules for athletics and school events rule my plans, and I even begin to think about the holidays.

I have a new gift certificate program that rewards your generosity.  Isn’t it fun to give a gift to someone special? I think so, and when you buy a friend a $100 gift certificate, I’ll give you a $50 gift certificate for yourself.  The next time you need a gift for a special occasion like a baby shower, engagement gift, or just a you’re-special gift, consider purchasing a $100 Captured By Lisa Photography, LLC gift certificate, and I’ll give you a $50 gift certificate for yourself.  I appreciate your good will in purchasing a certificate for a friend to introduce them to my studio, and the $50 receive certificate is my way of saying thank you.

I know how eager you are to show your portraits to family and friends, and now I’m going to help you share your beautiful images electronically.  Shortly after your portrait session I’ll send you an email with those great images to forward to friends and family. As a way of introducing my studio to your friends and family, I am offering them a 50% discount on their portrait session.

And don’t forget, for each client you refer to the studio, you’ll get a free 8x10 portrait.  This discount is good for new clients only and has no cash value. Your free 8x10 is good for your next (new) session and is valid for one 8x10 or one smaller portrait.

I’ve recently affiliated with a national program called Safe T Kids. The Safe T Kids campaign is an ID program that provides peace of mind to parents. Safe T Kids records your children’s images and information to have on hand in the event it is ever needed. You’ll get an ID card, and the information is also stored online. If an Amber Alert should ever have to be called, law enforcement officials would be able to get immediate access to your child’s photo and information.  I  understand that no parent wants to dwell on this, but if the unthinkable happens, it’s best to be prepared. During your child’s birthday month I’ll give you a free birthday session and a Safe T Kids ID card. I’ll also set up a booth at community events for your convenience and to introduce the program to our friends and neighbors.


Remember, you have until October 15th to take advantage of my Holiday Card Special.  Time flies by so fast & this day will be here & gone before you know it.  Call me now to claim your spot on my schedule.
