In Honor of CyberMonday...

It has been oh so long since I last posted, but it has been super busy around AGP.  A great problem to have, I know.

With all of the holiday shopping craze, I am offering my version of a CyberMonday special, however,  mine lasts all week!

AGP Gift Certificates are now 1/2 off!  That's right! 1/2 off!!!! And now would be a great time to cross off the rest of your shopping list or even pre-purchase your own 2012 session because 2012 pricing goes into effect beginning January1.

This week purchase a child/family session gift certificate for $50 (reg. $95) or a senior session for $75 (reg. $150).

 Fine Print:  Gift Certificates are not retroactive and may not be used toward sessions already scheduled or purchased.

Email me at agphotography@bellsouth.net to purchase and have a happy holiday season:)

Shelby {Yazoo Senior Portrait Photographer}...

There are really no words to describe how easy this shoot was.  Shelby is a 2012 Benton Academy Senior and is probably one of the sweetest girls I have ever met! She was so relaxed in front of the camera, minus the few times she tried not to laugh, ha. If she was nervous, you certainly could not tell from the images we captured...

...And Seniors, don't forget that Thursday is the last day of my Senior Special.

Destin, Memphis and Senior Reps...

Beach Session and Memphis dates have been set.  These sessions are limited and fill very quickly, so email me at agphotography@bellsouth.net asap if you want a spot:)

Memphis/Southaven areas:  June 21-23 and July 26-27

Destin Beach Sessions:  August 4-7

Now, about Seniors Reps.  I have 1 spot left for a Senior Representative.  Senior Reps are seniors who book their session with me, and can then earn incentives, credits, and discounts toward the purchase of their own portraits by referring other seniors to me.  It is not unusual for a Senior Rep to earn enough credit to receive their senior portraits for free!  Interested seniors, contact me with questions or to apply:) And don't forget about my Senior Special running now...it's a great time for seniors to book their session and reps to earn portrait credits!

Senior Special {Madison Senior Portrait Photographer}

It's already started....Senior Portrait bookings! This will be my last senior special before my packaging and prices change, so this is the perfect time to go ahead and schedule your session.

Senior sessions are $150 and last approximately 2 hours, allowing for outfit/location changes. If you book by June 30 you will receive a $50 print credit! And if you follow me, you know that I rarely offer print credits, so you'll want to jump on this one.

Sessions do not have to take place by June 30. Your session can be scheduled to take place between now and March 1, 2012,  but to take advantage of this special, I will need to have you on the books and receive your session fee by June 30 to hold your spot. I am currently booking 4-6 weeks out on Senior Sessions.

To book or ask questions, drop me an email at agphotography@bellsouth.net

Anabella {Madison Children's Photographer}

Obviously, I have gotten behind on the blog, since I haven't posted anything since March. That's what a busy spring will do for you.

I have several posts coming soon....one of which will be next week regarding Senior Sessions. That's right! I will be running my last Senior Session Special before my new pricing goes into effect, so keep an eye out for that!

I have noticed that I sometimes group several subjects into one post. I will probably continue to do that with such items as updates, deadlines, policies, etc., but will make an effort to not do so with client sneak peeks (except for this post, ha!).

So, meet Anabella. What a fun little girl! We held her session during the morning hours to avoid the sweltering Mississippi heat, but we failed. It was still hot and muggy and sticky and all that goes along with the south. But she was a trooper and we got lots of great shots.

Anabella, I hope you and your mom, Amber, had fun! Can't wait to do it again:)  Here are a few of my favorites:

Mini-Sessions and Cupcakes...

Oh, I cannot BELIEVE that I have neglected my blog for more than 3 months! In all fairness, 6 weeks of the 3 months I was on my annual holiday hiatus.

Recently, I have been working on several commercial projects. Also, I have an issue of the AGP newsletter about to go out with info regarding upcoming spring mini-sessions. A special mini-session package price will be available to newsletter recipients, so if you haven't joined, now would be a great time. Just fill out the form on the right.

2011 Spring Mini-Session dates are March 25/26 and April 15/16. Availability on the March dates is very limited and will book the quickest. Mini-Sessions are $30 and include 15 minutes of shoot time and 5x7 of your choice. If you want to go ahead and book your appointment prior to receiving the newsletter to get on the books, you will still get the newletter special if you are signed up before it is sent out.

To book, email me at agphotography@bellsouth.net with: 
Name
Phone number
Number of subjects and ages (babies must be able to sit up unassisted)
Top 2 preferred dates
I will reply to you with available times. I will also post more mini-session info in a couple of days, including a "rule" reminder.

Now, on to the "cupcakes" part of the post. As I mentioned, I have recently been working on a few commercial projects, one of which is for the newly opened Madison Cupcake Company (in Madison, of course).

The Madison Cupcake Company is located in the Colony Crossing Shopping Center beside Pizza Inn, and owner Laina Woodard Smith makes the yummiest cupcakes, cakes and cookies. Check out her website at www.madisoncupcakecompany.com.  She also does wedding cakes (hint, hint to my brides) and birthday cakes, and does awesome sugar work and molding. Here are a few images from the shoot....I will definitely be taking Sadie during spring break for a scrumptious treat. Oh, and the white chocolate cherry cookies....DIVINE!

Next Post: More mini-session info and other updates (including possible new product line...yikes)!
