A New Year - already?

How in the world did 2010 fly by so fast?! One of my hopes for 2011 is to keep up weekly posts on the blog - I've even set a Monday morning alarm on my iPhone to help me remember ... let's see how it goes! Christmas holidays are behind us and it's time to look forward. For the month of January I'll be featuring my Valentine's set in my mobile studio at Su-Et's Kennel at 10631 Prospect Avenue, Santee, California. This week coming up will be a Wednesday and a Friday shoot, from 10 am - 4 pm. Sitting fees of $30 get you:

15 minutes in front of the camera

a $16 print credit to use toward your photo order

proofs on line in 7-10 days

2 custom designed Valentine's Day cards in your on line gallery (one in 4x8 size and one in 5x7 size - no design charge)

a sheet of custom designed mini-Valentine's in your on line gallery (8 to a sheet - great for therapy dogs to hand out on rounds! - no design charge)

and a custom designed Valentine's Keepsake Ornament (available in my Zazzle store - no design charge). Your print credit can be used towards the Valentine's cards (full-size and mini) but not towards the ornament. Here is a look at one of my Valentine's designs for this year, and the set of minis: You can see the Valentine's Ornaments at my Zazzle store by clicking here. Look in the gallery called Dog Breeds Valentine's Ornaments. Yours will be in a different gallery and will have the year 2011 added to them. The back is blank so you can add whatever you like to it, such as your pet's name, with a marker. Still looking for that perfect 2011 wall calendar? Check out four of mine at my Lulu.com store.
