Direct from Orange Beach...

We made it back from Pensacola and Orange Beach! The weather was great (most of the time)! There was a chance for rain on Saturday, but it turned out perfect for Kellye and Brian's wedding. Woohoo! Here are a few pics from some beach sessions and the wedding.

This pic of my family was taken mid-morning which is not the best time to be photographed, especially on the beach, but we were so busy with everything else that we neglected to do our pic until right before departing. It was overcast all morning until we got ready to take the pic...my luck! But, it turned out anyway. Wow, is it hard to set the pic, set the timer and run into position in the sand before the shutter clicks! My calves are sore. Next time I will use a remote release!

My first Holiday Mini-Session date is this Saturday, the 27th. The next date is tentatively set for Saturday, October 18. I am limiting the number of sessions on this day to 6, so call me asap if you are interested.

By Popular Demand....Credit Cards Now Accepted!

I have been asked many times about accepting credit cards and have managed to hold off for a while, but I guess it is that time. I am now accepting credit card payments via Paypal! Woohoo!

Here's how it will work. You contact me with your order and I will send you a Paypal invoice via e-mail. Once your payment has cleared I will process your order. Credit card payments may be made for print services only, not session fees. Session fees must still be paid by cash, money order or check at this time. There is a 5% convenience charge on orders paid using a credit card.

Please contact me with any questions or to place an order to be paid via Paypal.

Custom Greeting Cards, Holiday Special and New Item!

I said I would be posting this Holiday Package Special so here it is: Receive a 30 minute mini-session, 24 custom greeting cards, (1) 8x10 and (2) 5x7 prints for $150 ($192 value). I rarely do portrait packages so this is a great opportunity to get a discounted price on your holiday cards and prints. Greeting cards are available in sizes 4x8, 5x5 flat, and 5x7 flat. These sessions are available on my mini-session Saturdays that will be advertised on this blog. The first mini-session date is Saturday, September 27, location TBA. Package price must be paid upon booking. Additional cards and prints may be purchased a la carte.

A new item I am now offering is Gift Certificates. They are available in increments of $25 and are great for Christmas, birthdays, baby showers, or any occasion.

Finally, here a just a small taste of the custom greeting cards for 2008. I may post a few more for previewing on the blog, but the entire 2008 holiday collection will be posted on my website shortly. There will be something for everyone! All designs are available in 4x8, 5x5, or 5x7. Text may be customized to reflect your holiday spirit. Please contact me for details.

Flash Website: Up and Running!

I am so excited! It has been a long time coming, but I finally have my new website complete! Please go check it out at www.aynsleygibsonphotography.com. It is a flash site and has info on my services, a gallery of some of my work, a calendar of special dates and much more. You can also link to this blog through my website.

My sister, Morgan, is an awesome designer and did some of the graphics for my site. She also did my logo and business cards. She is very talented. She is also helping work on my custom holiday greeting cards. I will be posting a small taste of the cards available this year in a couple of days. Many, many thanks to you, Mo!

I recently posted about my holiday mini-session dates. In a few days, when I post the sneak peak of the 2008 greeting card designs, I will also be posting my mini-session package special. This will only be advertised on my blog. I rarely do print packages, so this is surely going to be big! It will be a specially priced package that will include a mini-session, greeting cards and prints. To take advantage of the package special, it must be paid when booking your mini-session. Due to the discounted pricing, these packages are not eligible for the mini-session give-away. The mini-session give-away will be for a la carte sessions only. Remember, all mini-sessions are limited in number, so book soon to make sure you are included!

Ok, now go check out my website and be sure to visit my blog often over the next few days to take advantage of my mini-session packages and view the sneak peak of custom greeting cards.
