It has been a long process switching our name and brand over from Portraits For You Photography to Michelle & Jason Photography.  We are almost 100% complete in this process and I wanted to share with you a peak into our new packaging that we have finally gotten in!  I was putting together an order this morning and snapped a couple of pics as I put all the pieces together.

I found some really neat folders that have our aqua colors that our 8x10s and 5x7s go into complete with some cute custom stickers!

Our 11x14s get wrapped in tissue paper and placed in these large white boxes nested in some aqua shred, just to make it look pretty.  All the other image folders fit neatly in here as well which works out well for the orders that we need to ship out.  Every customer always gets a little bag filled with something sweet.  Who doesn’t want a little candy?

The Silver folder contains our new referral program!  We are so excited to finally have something put together for this.  We truly appreciate those that come to our studio to have their memories preserved and we finally have a system in place to pay it forward to them.  How it works:  Every client, when they pick up their order, will have this folder containing a card explain our referral program and some cards for them to pass out to their friends/family/co-workers, etc.  The cards are custom to each client so that we will be sure to know where the referral is coming from, complete with an image from the client’s session for easy sharing!

Every referral that comes in gives you $25.00 in print credit towards your next session.  If you get Five referrals, you get a FREE session AND the $125.oo in print credit!  And guess what!  The person that you refer to our studio, also gets $25.00 in print credit towards their order as well!  After their session, they will get their own cards to pass out and the system repeats.  Pretty neat, huh?  (This is for new client referrals only, referral cannot have been photographed at our studio before.)

Now for those of you that have had sessions with us but not received cards, that is ok!  If someone lets us know that you referred them in (and I always ask how they heard of us), you will still receive credit.  We will be keeping track in the studio so that the next time you come into the studio, we will have your credit ready.  (We will also let you know when you receive credit as well.)

And lastly, I wanted to share this 20×24 collage wall mount that this client purchased, that I was packaging up today.  This is ready to hang on the wall, with no need to frame.  Aren’t these little guys so adorable?

This past week, we took time out to take my baby’s three year pictures.  I have had a vision of some images that I wanted to do for her for quite awhile and I am so excited to see my vision becoming a reality!  I feel in love with the images so much that I have decided to offer mini session to all the little girls that dream of being a princess and living in a fairytale.  This would be a great gift for the Little Princess in your life and a great memory to have for her to look back on.

These images from this session will have more of an artistic type look and could easily become art in your little girl’s room for years to come!

I will have the main set up already in place when you arrive for your session but feel free to get creative with your Little Princess’s own accessories!  Crowns, pearls, dresses (I suggest in a pink/purple color).   I do have some mini tutus available for toddlers and the dress pictured is 3t and could be borrowed for the session as well if you do not have a dress of your own.   I am also looking into getting some bigger tutus made for those that may need them.

I am getting feedback that the original date that I chose is going to work for many so I am going to block off several evenings that I will do sessions.  Please call or email to get a time slot that will work for you and your little princess.

I plan on doing multiple sessions on the same day, currently scheduled for Sunday July 29th starting at 3:30.  Depending on response, I may need to add another day.

Your Princess’s Mini Session is $60 will include:

• 20 minutes of time
• (1) 8×10
• (2) 5x7s
• (1) Wallets

Additional Child cost is $20 will include an extra ten minutes of time and 8×10 print.  Additional prints can be purchased at a discounted rate.

Session fees will be due at time of booking to hold your time slot.  After the session, your images will be hosted online in a gallery for 7 days to choose your image sizes.  The cart will also reflect the discounted portrait prices if you wish to add anything on to your order.

To schedule your session, please call us at 517.563.8269 and have your credit/debit card ready.  Spots will be limited.
