<h2>Friends and Family Discount</h2>
<p>Hey everyone! I know this is a long time coming but I am finally able to introduce to you a friends and family discount that includes all of our products and services so you can plan your own children's and family portraits, or purchase prints and products, with a special discount made just for you guys! As you probably know we have been greatly expanding at the studio! Our work has become nationally recognized and appreciated, and we are constantly finding the newest contemporary and boutique-style products for outfitting homes with not just really awesome photos, but some cool stuff to go along with it ^_^</p>
<p>With all of this also comes very little free time, but we want those closest to us to still enjoy our skill! So while we are opening up this discount we are going to have to limit it to 2 sessions per month and ask that you book at least 1-6 months in advance. Some exceptions may apply, so you can always ask us if we are booked or not and we will let you know.</p>
<p>We are also offering around 40% off of our sessions fees! You probably already know all of this but the session fees cover the time we take to prepare for the photo shoot, taking the photos using our specialty super-powers, and processing and preparing them. All of this takes a lot of skill, and time away from our kids, and we have to make it worth it (and also so we can pay the studio bills ^_~) But you guys know all of this so why am I preachin? ^_^</p>
<p>Session Fees for 2009 (or until otherwise noted) will be as follows for Friends and Family only:<br />
Children's Session: $100<br />
Family Session: $135<br />
Newborn Session: $135<br />
Teen Sessions: $165</p>
<p>In addition, all prints and products we offer (a la carte and collections included) will be an additional 30% off. We just introduced new {premium} collections for 2009 which include some digital negatives as well as lots of goodies. We will be posting them up soon on our website!</p>
<h3>Friends of our Friends</h3>
<p>You can also purchase gift certificates for your own family members and friends with your discount. This would be perfect as a Wedding gift, Baby Shower gift, Birthday gift, or Christmas gift. The gift certificates come in Sessions or Sessions + Collections, each receiving the discount. So say you want to purchase a newborn session for a friend's Baby Shower, you would pay $135 for the gift certificate but receive a Session certificate with a value of $225 ~ an awesome gift! Just know the person receiving your gift will be paying regular print and product prices afterwards (Though you can always purchase a collection with your discount to avoid that). Contact me if you are interested in this!</p>
