    Senior Reps

    Saturday, April 19th, 2008

    So as this year’s graduation class is coming to a close next year’s seniors should be gearing up. I’ve talked about wanting some Senior Reps for the 2009 class before. I wanted to mention it again. The weather is getting nicer so I want to fit in my reps before school is out. I have one Rep already for this year but still have spots for 2-3 more.  The deadline to become a rep is the 1st of July.

    To refresh your memory on what a Senior Rep is….

    A senior for the class of 2009

    Fun, outgoing and willing to try new things

    Willing to pass my name out to all their friends

    Think I am totally cool and make me feel like highschool was not so long ago!! :) (just kidding on that one, except the highschool part)

    The Rep will receive in return…

    A free Senior Session

    50 rep cards to hand out to all their friends

    10% off any prints they purchase from their session

    1- watermarked image for their myspace etc

    They will also receive some incentives based on the amount of referrals they send my way. I will give you all the details as soon as you officially become my rep.

    So if you or anyone you know are interested send me an e-mail or give me a call 315.376.0167

    Onto other things…

    So is anyone else enjoying this beautiful day. I’m outside on the back deck using the laptop and I’m just loving it. This kids are all outside and it’s fabulous.

    Now that the weather is nice I need to come up with some more locations outside for my sessions. Oh how I wish we lived by the beach and had the ocean or the lake as the background. I don’t think the Croghan pool counts!! LOL

    Well anyway I hope everyone is enjoying the nice weather while it lasts.

    The phone works… whooo hoo!!!

    Tuesday, April 15th, 2008

    I’m happy to say that my phone is working now!!!  Never thought I would be so excited about that but I am ;)

    Today was a great day.  We got some shopping done and ate diner at Ponderosa!  Happy Birthday Tyson!!!!  It was fun:)  Tomorrow promises to be even better as the weather is getting warmer and my kids sickness is going away.  Did I mention that I had to take M to the ER on Sunday with a fever of 105.7.  Um yeah nothing like the freak out of a lifetime.  I’ve never had one of my kids have a fever so high before.  After about 2 hours and a multitude of tests the diagnosis was a virus.  I’m thankful.  I had thoughts of it being much worse.  She is feeling much better today and ate a big dinner and was acting crazy before bed time running all over the place.  So she’s pretty much back to her normal self.  Yeah!!!  Our spring break is going well and C is enjoying his week home from school.  Our life is a bit more chaotic but we love it.

    Well have a good night everyone.  I’m off to rest my eyes for the night!!  God Bless

    I wanted to give a quick mention that my phone is still not working :(   I’ve been dealing with the phone company since Thursday.  I hope to have it resolved asap.  So if you get voicemail and I don’t call you back please send an e-mail.

    Thanks again

    My phone isn’t working…

    Saturday, April 12th, 2008

    I wanted to let people know that if you try and call, my phone isn’t working.  It’s a long story but I’m hoping it will be fixed this week.  It rings and then goes to voicemail but we are unable to check the voicemail.  So please don’t think I am ignoring you.  If you have called and left a message please send an e-mail instead.

    Thanks so much.

    Senior Reps…

    Tuesday, April 8th, 2008

    I’m looking for some students from Lowville, Beaver River etc that want to be my Senior Representatives for this year.

    The 411 for being a Senior Rep…

    * Part of the 2009 graduating class

    * Fun, energetic & excited about getting your pictures done

    *Willing to talk up my business to all your friends and family

    *You would receive a free Senior session which includes lots of clothing changes, any props you wish as well as a few locations if you want. (prints are sold separately)

    *The more referrals you send back to me who book sessions the more fun and prizes you will get.

    If you think you might be interested or know someone who would make a great Senior Rep then please contact me at 315.376.0167 I would need a guy and a girl from each school.

    I’ll be starting Senior Sessions later on this spring and continue through the summer.

    Also don’t forget about my April Special…  Receive a DVD Slideshow with every collection purchased.

    I’m so excited about this year.  I was playing around in my basement and did a session with my parents to see how it was going to work and it’s going to be great.  The studio hopefully will be ready by September at the latest.  I know that this summer is going to be soo busy.  It might take a while to find the time to get it done.  :)

    It also seems that spring is finally making it’s way to the North Country.  As soon as it gets green and stays warm I will be doing on location outdoor sessions again.  I’d like to offer the mini sessions again but do them out side at a park somewhere with some nice scenery.  May should be a good month for that.  I’ll keep everyone updated on the details.

    I’m also still available for portrait parties if anyone is interested in that.

    I’m going to Syracuse tonight for a workshop.  It should be fun.  I need to make sure that J records American Idol for me!!  LOL  Love that show.  Among other things we are doing good.  L fell off his bike in the basement Friday night and brushed his face across the hot woodstove.  I took him to the ER and thankfully it was a very light burn.  Still painful and the Dr. said it will take a while for the redness to go away after it’s all healed.  We were very thankful that the Lord was watching out for him and it wasn’t any worse.  Saturday night we went to a Third Day concert, it was really really awesome.  I’ve only gone to a few concerts in my lifetime and that one was the best so far.  Lots of fun :)   So for any family and friends that read this we are doing well and love and miss you all.
