    Sessions outside of Lowville

    Tuesday, March 3rd, 2009

    This spring winter I have been putting some of my focus on advertising outside of Lowville etc.  This Spring I’m going to be offering to travel down to places like Utica, Syracuse, Oswego etc. for sessions.

    There is no extra fee for the service however the only stipulation I have is that I have a minimum of 5 session per trip.  So if you are from that area and feel it’s too far of a drive to come to my studio tell your friends.  Get 5 people willing to book a session with me and I will travel to you, rent a place and do them all in one day.

    I just wanted to make sure everyone was aware of this service.

    This past summer I traveled to Fulton to do an extended family session.  It was a beautiful summer day and there were about 6 small family sessions and then the whole extended family.  It was a great time and worth the trip down there.

    Email confusion!

    Sunday, March 1st, 2009

    I was made aware today that there was some confusion on my email address.  Some people tried to enter the drawing for the free session and the emails bounced back.

    I’m going to extend the entries for the drawing for the contest until Tuesday this week for that reason.  Please if you would like an entry into the drawing for a free session please email me at this address.

    ellenicolphotography@twcny.rr.com

    I know it’s confusing b/c of it seems like it’s missing an “n” but that’s the correct address.

    Thanks so much and please go ahead and send in your entries.  I will be announcing the winner of the Best of 2008 tomorrow :)

    Thanks and please don’t hesitate to call with any questions.
