Pardon our dust!

January 27, 2009

I’m working on updating parts of the site, so please bear with me as I make the changes!

AND, don’t miss out on the Valentine’s Day Special, running through Feb. 21!!!

I already love the new flash setup at the top! What do you think? Also, it will be much easier for me to update the photos in the header so I will update them much more often. Now, if you book a session or wedding with HBP, you might see your photo in the banner for a while. :)

I’ve been itching to get this post up and I just can’t wait any longer! This special has two parts: 1 for wedding clients and 1 for portrait clients. These specials are in effect from today (1/23) through February 21 only

e. Book any of the other packages (including custom packages) and receive $100 off!
ALSO, as an added bonus for those who book Package 1, I will throw in a complimentary ChrysQ album cover for your 12×12″ 24-page custom album! My favorite is DOTTE… what’s yours? :)

Part 2: Portrait clients
Jpegs are so popular these days with just about everyone having an internet presence now, that I’ve decided to offer my portrait clients who purchase a session by 2/21 (session must be completed by April 30, 2009) a complimentary 10-image CD with images of your choice. Each of these 10 images will be hand-edited and processed by me.

And since I’ve learned that no post is complete without a picture, here’s a sneak peak of my postcard. Let me know if you’d like 1 or 5 to hand out or hang up in your home or office! See anyone you recognize? :)

Best of 2008

January 18, 2009

I’ve compiled a list of my favorite & sometimes best shots from 2008. I can’t believe how many thousands of images I took in the past 12 months! I know my work has evolved over the year as well and I’d love to hear what you think of any specific images or my work overall. There are a LOT of images here so if you have a slow internet connection, you might want to give the page a minute to fully load. Thanks for looking and commenting!

Whew! What a year! I had forgotten about several things too! I’m now booking portrait sessions for indoors and looking ahead to booking spring outdoor sessions. Give me a call!

Allyson Sanborn: The back view of the wedding dress (in the window) is my favorite. Great year in review!!
