Studio Walk-In Hours – unavailable week of 11/16

Sorry, folks! Due to a recent VEHICLE death, the family’s cars-for-work program has developed a bit of a limp. Ha!

In light of this, I won’t have any daytime walk-in hours this week. If you need to schedule an appointment for an order pickup or session, I am available for evening hours all week except Wednesday and Friday.

Sorry for the inconvenience – if it makes you feel any better, I’m pretty much stuck at home! :)

Decorate my studio windows!

Much to my shagrin, the direct sunlight and heat is just to much for photographic prints to handle. So, I’m going to have my windows PAINTED! My best friend is a fantastic artist and she has agreed to decorate my windows with temporary artwork, but I need inspiration from YOU!

Looking for easy-to-paint designs (she can handle the complicated stuff, but these will be changed out on a regular basis, so I don’t want to waste her time!) for my vertical windows.

* Abstract
* Seasonal
* Holiday/Event

If you have something that would be fun to paint on a window, send it my way and we’ll see if it will work! I look forward to seeing some examples. :) As always, I reward!!

Annual School Photos…Satisfied?

School photos are back…are you happy? Bad school photos are NOT a rite of passage, they’re just a waste of money!

Good news! Schedule a school portrait session and order the $35 package and I will replace your school portrait order free. Keep your less desirable portraits as a reminder of how school photos shouldn’t look! :)

Schedule a school portrait anytime! Preschool through age 16!

2009 Holiday Sessions

School Portraits, Facebook PixParty and Model Search! SPREAD THE WORD!

Parents, don’t you love the way yearly school portraits chronicle your children’s school years?  But don’t the upturned collars, blinked eyes and other careless imperfections make you want to scream?

We’ve got an alternative to consider.  On September 10, 11, and 12th we’ll be conducting our popular School Portrait sessions.  The School Portrait promotion provides families with beautiful school portraits at fantastic pricing – packages start at only $24.  Now there are no more worries about out-of-place hairs or silly grins.  During our quick, caring session, we will capture their child’s true expressions, while paying attention to the details.  Call today to reserve your session for children who are enrolled in preschool through age 16 – 814-539-5784.

Are you on Facebook?  We are.  We’re jazzed about the opportunities to connect with our friends online.  We’ve got a great fan page that will keep you up to date on happenings in the studio.

More and more we’re connecting through social media, so we decided to create a fun, inexpensive way for you to look your best to all your old and new online friends.  Every month, Michelle Misner Photography, hosts a Facebook PixParty.

Come and enjoy a welcome break from your hectic week.  We’ll treat you to a cold beverage and a tasty snack while you take a moment to relax and be pampered.  Get some friends together and join us.  For only $15, you’ll get an image you’d be proud to share on the World Wide Web.  Bring a friend or two and you’ll each get an image for $12.50.  The portrait session will last 10 minutes and you’ll have a choice of backgrounds to create a casual, personality-driven image.

A few days after your portrait’s taken, the image will be uploaded to the Michelle Misner Photography album and we’ll email you a link so you can tag yourself and drag the image to your desktop to use on your social networking or e-dating sites.

Call Michelle Misner Photography at 814-539-5784 to make an appointment for our next Facebook PixParty.  You’ll be glad you did.
