Ellen’s Photography Blog

I wanted to let everyone know that the last possible day to have a Holiday Session done is November 15th 2008.  That means I won’t be doing any sessions after that date for people who need images for Christmas.

I will be doing other sessions after that so no worries there.

I’m in the process of working out some new, fun and exciting things to come here at Ellen Nicol Photography!  Not all Holiday related!!

A new Collection is set to make it’s debut sometime in the next few weeks!  Right now I have 3 portrait collections and I think to keep up with the digital age I need to add another one!! More details to come when the new collection is released.  Just a hint there is a clue in this paragraph!!

Another thing that is coming are new Holiday Collections.  I’m going to be offering one Holiday Collection this year as well as doing a couple of Holiday Mini Sessions.  I will have all the exciting details on my blog and site next week when I return from my vacation!  So please check back soon!!!

Just an FYI if you are thinking that it’s way to early to be booking Holiday Sessions this time of year I only have 4 possibly 5 Saturday’s available for 2008!!! Can you believe that!!  So if you are going to need a Saturday session b/c of work schedules let me know asap b/c they are going to go FAST!!! (I do have lots more weekday sessions available if that works better for you but don’t take too long b/c I only do about 2 of those per week and I’m sure they will fill up quickly!)

Thanks so much and enjoy your Sunday!

I wanted to thank everyone sooo much for taking the time to vote on the images for the fair. I tallied up the votes and hands down the winners were
#1

and #3!!!

So the next step is they need to head to the printer to get ready for the competition! I’m very excited. I don’t really expect to win but it’s still fun to go through the whole process. And even if I don’t win I will have the prints for display in my new studio (details coming on that late summer).

Now for the fun part…

Everyone else who took the time to vote I’m going to offer a special thank you discount on a photo session of $10 off the session fee for up to 4 people until the end of August.  I have your names and e-mail addresses so if you would like to book your special discounted sessions please just drop me an e-mail and we’ll work you into my schedule :)  Thanks so much again!!

I also wanted to mention that I will be away all next week on vacation. I’m working very hard today and over the weekend to finish the sessions I did most recently.

We are getting ready to head over to town and watch the parade tonight!  I’m really looking forward to it.  I’m sure I’ll have some pictures to share later this week.  The kids with ride with papa R on the horses at the end of the parade.  They get the best of both worlds, watch the whole parade and then be in the parade as well!

Just wanted to pop on here and just say hello!

The other day I decided to enter 2 of my pictures in the NY State Fair print competition. I paid my entry fee but am having trouble deciding which pics to send in. So I decided I needed your help…

Each person that leaves a comment HERE on my blog or sends me an e-mail (ellenicolphotography@twcny.rr.com) voting for which pictures I should use will be entered into a drawing for a half price session and a complimentary 8×10. I know people read my blog and if you want to book a session but haven’t for some reason or another, whether you’re a highschool senior, or whatever now is the time to do this. If you win it gives you the perfect opportunity to try me out!!

So here are the 3 that I’m considering…

#1

#2

#3

Ok so now leave your comments right here on my blog or send an e-mail and I will add your name to the drawing. I’ll need a name and e-mail address from you so I can contact the winner.

DEADLINE for votes is Thursday July 17th at 8pm

DRAWING to be held on Friday July 18th with the winner to be announced on the blog, along with the winning entries for the fair!!

Thanks so much and I’m looking forward to your votes!!!!!!!

I wanted to also quickly mention that the deadline for Holiday Sessions is November 15th. I’m working on my holiday session package and will give out all the details in a little bit. Just wanted to get your brains thinking about it ahead of time!! It will be here before we know it.

Just a reminder that the deadline for your yearbook photos is the end of September.

I’m still offering an early bird special for any senior sessions booked before Sept 1st. That makes your session fee $45 instead of $65. You get multiple clothing changes, locations of your choice, the studio shot for the yearbook and an online proofing gallery to share with friends and family!
