Odds and ends

I have been working like crazy to get caught up on proofing! If you're waiting on your session to be posted online, please be patient as I am working the best I can. (Working used to be so much easier before my 2.5 year old decided that she needs to "help" mommy every chance she gets....)

I will be posting my Christmas special very soon. I have had many email requests in the past week inquiring about booking a session. I am working on my holiday schedule this week. Working around my husband's schedule and finding a babysitter is not an easy task! I hope to post my available dates by the end of the week. If you are looking for a "package deal" this year, I am not offering one. I know that I will be offering a session and Christmas cards only in my special. You won't want to miss the incredible deal on my cards!

I will close with a post of little Baylor and his daddy having a special moment the other day at the park. I LOVE outside sessions and especially when you're dealing with an active 2 year old.......right Melissa? I hope you enjoy your sneek peak and your proofs should be posted very soon:)

Brand New Ordering Site is L-I-V-E!

I have a brand new ordering site! Here is the link: www.juliedodd.com/ordering

This new ordering site will take the place of the current one that is linked from my website right now. Some changes on my actual website will be:
*removing the "slideshow" tab as you will be able to view a slideshow in your gallery at the new ordering site. This is a great option for you because you don't have to leave the ordering site to view a slideshow like you have to now. (It also eases up my work flow on my end which is always a plus!)
As for the new ordering site:
*Now, when ordering collages you will email me the images you want me to use and I will design the collage and add it onto your gallery to purchase.
*You can invite family and friends to view your images
*You can choose an option for shipping or to pick up at the studio
*You will see when the gallery expires and will even receive an email reminding you that your gallery will expire soon. Don't forget that a 25.00 re-upload fee will apply for all galleries that expire before orders are placed.
*You can have a password protected gallery or a public gallery
The list actually could go on and on but these are some of my favorite options. I am still in the process of getting the site tweaked and am learning how to use it at the same time you will be. Please be patient and I hope you enjoy the ease of navigation!

I will close with a sneak peek of Little Miss Vita Claire. She came to me for her 1 year portraits. Happy 1st Birthday Vita Claire!
I also can't leave out Big Brother Sam. He also had a birthday and he is now 3. Happy 3rd Birthday Sam! I had a blast playing with you.

Lots of requests for Senior pictures

I have had lots of requests here lately from people wanting me to do senior pictures. I would be happy to accept some senior appointments in the month of September only. October through November cuts into my busy Christmas season and I am dedicating my calendar for leaps and bounds members as well as regular or new customers.

If you are a senior and you would like to set up an appointment, find out pricing, etc., please contact me through email: jdodd3@sbcglobal.net Each session will include an outdoor sitting (weather permitting) and an indoor sitting.
