Lets Talk Newborn Portraits

The window of opportunity for a successful newborn portrait is very small. I prefer to photograph newborns when they are about a week to two weeks old while they are still bendy and super sleepy. It is best to book this session while you are still pregnant, preferably a few months in advance as I take a limited amount of newborn sessions each month. A newborn takes about 2 hours to photograph, sometimes less if the baby is a good sleeper. I provide hats, flowers/headbands and other accessories for newborns, please feel free to bring whatever you’ve got also. I keep the babies naked for the whole shoot, so bringing outfits is not necessary. It’s also good when dressing your newborn to come to my studio, that you dress them lightly, like in a onesie, so that we don’t have to disturb them too much when taking them out of the carseat. And please don’t stress about them peeing (or worse) on my stuff. It will happen. And I will wash it. It’s not a big deal, I’m very used to it. I will happily do laundry for the sake of cute pictures. Please add $50 for each additional sibling in a newborn session, which includes pictures of them together and some individuals picture in one outfit.  Checklist

• lots of diapers and wipes
• extra blankets
• a binky (this is very helpful if they take one)
• a bottle with breastmilk or formula (this saves a ton of time if we can just feed them the bottle instead of nursing)
• a black long sleeve shirt for mom or dad

One Day Sale-June 28th

It again is time for our annual "One Day Sale" for senior portrait session fees Thursday June 28th . although we call this a one day sale, you can actually call between now and June 28th. This is your chance to save over $100.00 on your senior portrait session.

Many of our past client are aware of this sale, and have set their appointments up for the summer. Don't be left out, call today, 231-929-2619. The best times fill up fast. We are not a cookie cutter studio, so there is a limit to the sessions we can do per day.

Business Portrait Special

I always like to try something new. This spring I am trying to modernize the look of "head shots" used by many business people and artists. Our business climate has become so much more visual then ever before with the popularity of social media. One might consider this "personal branding" Most of us would never have a logo created that looked just like our competitor, so why then should your business image look like everyone else. And why do some people hold on to the same image longer than they do to their automobile?

It is time to freshen up.

No longer should your corporate headshots resemble a yearbook photo. In the commercial climate of extreme competition, having a unique and creative headshot is essential. The client is looking for a trustworthy, approachable and professional individual. Your photograph will give an immediate impression of you.

So for the month of April I will be offering my Expanded Business Portrait Sessions at 50% off. For more information call Lancaster Photography at 231-929-2619.

Graduation Announcements - Open House Invitations

This is a good time to start planning for your graduation announcements. All of our cards are custom designed, many with multiple images, and color matching graphic elements. There are a variety of types and sizes available as well as paper surfaces.

Unlike the limitations you find at the department store photo centers, who cannot reproduce your senior portraits, we offer our clients senior portraits on the front, back and inside of announcements. Our announcements are often combined to be used as your open house invitations or add to and sent with traditional graduation cards. The best part is they don't look like and often cost less then the ones sold at your school.

Call us to find out more information. Lancaster Photography 231-929-2619.

Your Image Counts Now More Then Ever

Not that long ago , business people only used portraits, or "head shots" mainly for business cards, yellow page ads and announcements in the newspaper. Today's social marketing has everyone's face plastered about. Is your face on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn along with your website and maybe your blog? If so, what does your image say about you?

If you are using Facebook as a marketing tool, a photo you tailgating at The UofM game might not be appropriate. Things like eye glasses, lapels on suits and tie widths, as well as hair styles can date a head shot. Today's business casual style can help you break the mold so you don't look like everybody else.

At Lancaster Photography, we can help update and modernize your look, get noticed by standing out from the crowd.

Senior Portraits are Heating Up

I just have to say, does it get any better than this? I am having such a ball doing senior portraits this year. My clients have been so much fun. New backgrounds, and finding little spots outside is always a huge kick for me. Being downtown opens the door for so many cool places to shoot. I will just share a few images from recent sessions.

By the way, there are a few summer slots left, but the phone has been busy since Cherry Festival ended......summer goes fast from here on out!
