NEWEST ITEM!! 4x8 Accordion Albums

You spoke, I listened!!  I keep hearing from my high school seniors and their parents how much they love so many of the images I take, but they really don't need that many portrait prints to frame so what to do?  Of course for those who are in love with at least 18 images or more, I recommend my custom designed albums in sizes ranging from 6x6 to 12x12 (square) or 6x8 to 9x12 (rectangular).  And they typically range in price from $350 to $500 depending on how many images you choose.

So what happens when you have less than 10 images you want in an album?  Fear no more!  We have a great alternate that is large enough to enjoy looking at the photographs but easier on the pocketbook...our 4x8 Accordion Album!  They look great, have a hidden magnetic closure, and typically hold about 8 images.  So how much, you ask?  We will custom design one of these cuties for you at a price of $200, and if you place at least a $300 print order with us, the price goes down to $150.  Need a copy for grandma?  We offer a 35% discount on all duplicates.

We have many different designs and colors so there is something for everyone.  And what a great gift for your high school senior!  It's compact enough to sneak into your purse or backpack, and probably one of the coolest things your friends & family will ever see from senior portrait photography.  Here's a sample layout:

Have a Senior Model Party!

So you're a Junior in high school, have a lot of friends, and love being in front of the camera.  Well do we ever have an opportunity for you!  Apply as a Senior Model on our website at www.asliceoflifeseniors.com (under "The 411" area) and if you're chosen, we'll do a free session with you and several of your friends.  Too good to be true?  Well as they say, there is no such thing as a free lunch.  But trust me, this is a deal that you wouldn't want to miss.

All we ask in return is that you bring along at least 3 of your friends and one parent to the viewing.  We supply munchies and the entertainment (a music slide show of the best images), and that's it.  It's a great way to introduce our services to your friends and family, and heck we always like entertaining people.

Make sure you note that you're interested in the group modeling session when you apply.  There are only a few openings available each year so this isn't open to everyone that applies.  Make sure you don't wait too long!

Time To Order Your Graduation Announcements!

Just a quick reminder that May is right around the corner and so is your child's graduation ceremony.  Don't wait until the last minute to order your graduation announcements, make an appointment soon with Heidi to customize an announcement that features some of the best images taken to send to family and friends.  Sure, the school offers generic cards that you need to spend extra money on for wallet inserts.  But for about the same money, you can create a one-of-a-kind card that you'll get compliments on for weeks!  You can see more design choices by visiting my website at www.asliceoflifeseniors.com and going to the RATES section.  Scroll down for a link to view "graduation announcement designs."

For more information or book an appointment, call Heidi at 760-739-9580.

Michelle Hamed - San Pasqual High School

Meet our latest Senior Model for San Pasqual High School, Michelle Hamed.  Funny story how I met Michelle.  I was in line at a Vons Grocery Store one Friday evening and happened to be behind a beautiful young lady wearing a San Pasqual Track Team shirt.  I really liked her look so I asked her if she went to San Pasqual.  Low and behold, she was an outgoing Junior so I asked her to submit an application to me to be one of my Models.  So long story short, you never know when you might be discovered!

Karissa Nouzovsky - Escondido High School

Wow, can you say knock out! That's exactly what Karissa is, such a photogenic beauty and a lot of fun too! We did a "Downtown" session and hit a couple of my favorite spots. I'm so thrilled that Karissa brought along some great clothing choices and matching accessories. Most seniors don't understand the importance of accessories and how they can make or break an outfit. I'm posting some of my favorite shots of the day, and I think you'll agree that Karissa doesn't take a bad photo.

A senior at Escondido High School, Karissa and I talked a little about school and I even got her to give me some really great smiles when I had her tell me about her boyfriend, Ricky. Thank you Ricky, even without being there you were able to help me get some great expressions. Karissa's mom came along to help also and keep an eye out for messy hair or clothing out of place. I always enjoy it when there's another person to help me look for things out of place.

For those Juniors at EHS that don't already know it, I'm looking for 2 more Senior Models for Escondido High. Go to my website and apply online. We are very selective of our models and are looking for students who want to earn money and free stuff for promoting our services. You even get a free session with A Slice of Life Photography! How cool is that? http://www.asliceoflifeseniors.com/

Free Animoto Slide Show for Feb/March Sessions!

Well Spring is right around the corner and the phone is starting to ring for senior sessions again. So after keeping things on the backburner these last few months, I decided it was time to offer a new special to the high school seniors out there. After careful thinking, I decided to give away a FREE Animoto slide show to each session that books between now and March 31st. These slide shows will feature the best images from each session and can be posted on your Facebook or MySpace sites. And from each image that is ordered, I will give you a low res file to use on your phone, blog, networking sites, etc. How fun is that? For a preview of what an Animoto slide show is, click below:
