A Change or Two – Matilda Jane Trunk Show –

admin — Tue, 03 Aug 2010 01:34:46 +0000

Hey girls…..

If you haven’t been stalking Denise’s site like I have, you may not have known that the first release of Field Trip is online. There will actually be two releases this fall. And I fell in love with BOTH of them. That said, I decided to book a secondary trunk show for th 2nd release, and switch my 1st release trunk show to a virtual.

Is your head spinning? What these means is my in home show for August 13th is now cancelled. In it’s place I will now be hosting a “virtual” opening day show! Which means no worries about sell outs! All you have to do is send our wonderful trunk keeper Alison an email or drop her a call between now and Friday (August 6th) at 11am, and you’re set! So email me or comment below if you need her information!

My 2nd release show will be held at my house on September 3rd from 4-7pm. Email me or comment below for more info And just as a teaser, some more MJ eye candy!

First and foremost, Happy New Year. I’ve been swampped in the land of client orders, and holiday planning for what seems like 2 months. Add in the fact we hosted 5 versions of Christmas, as well as a baptism over the holidays, and you may understand the lack of posting on here for awhile.

2010 is here and with that comes lots of new plans and ideas in my head. First of all…..VALENTINE’S DAY Mini Sessions! I’ve wanted to do these for the past few years, and I’m now finally able to offer them! Look back soon for a workshop offer for YOU! Yes, that’s right, a workshop for my clients…time to learn how to use that new (or old) dSLR (or regular SLR)!

Did the Holidays pass before you managed to get a new photo of your child? Looking for something unique and adorable this Valentine’s Day?

I will be offering Valentine’s Day Mini Sessions at the studio in Detroit on January 17th. For $95 you’ll get a 20 minute sessions with 8 proofs promised in an online private gallery for your viewing. The session will also include your choice of 48 – 2.75″x4″ “class cards” or 24 – 4″x5.5″ flat cards.

Sharing the Love! Let’s Get This

admin — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 15:18:01 +0000

If you remember this fall, my childhood dreams came true when I met New Kids on the Block and then scored front row seats for the concert Well tomorrow I’m going to meet them again. WOOOO! (Yes, I’m aware, I’m a dork).

My favorite New Kid is doing a book drive this summer in an effort to provide children’s books to under privileged kids. They are collecting books at the concert, but also donations online. Last summer I did a charity promotion donating portions of my summer sales to the 3 Day Walk (donating over $150). This summer I’m going to donate to First Book via Joe’s Charity “Let’s Get This”.

I’ve teased about a summer studio promotion with a discounted session fee. Well let’s do this! In July and August, I will offer mini sessions at the studio in Detroit (Russell Industrial Center), not only at a discounted rate ($60), I will also donate $10 from every session booked to the Let’s Get this Foundation (an equivilent of 5 books per session booked).

Look for dates to be released VERY VERY VERY soon! Tell your friends and family about this amazing deal! $60 sessions AND 10 books being donated to the underprivileged children PER SESSION! It’s INSANE!

And I can’t leave without some eye candy
