Congratulations to Class of 2012!!

Today is graduation day around Escondido and San Diego's North County.  I want to wish all those seniors graduating an amazing graduation day, a memorable Grad Nite, and the greatest success in all of your future dreams and ambitions.

Looking back, I realize that it was after graduating from high school the first time I had to choose which path I wanted to take in creating my future.  Every decision I made brought me to this point in my life, some good, some bad, but all extremely important.  Making sure you have a proper education is the most important first step.  So go boldly out into this world Class of 2012, and make us proud.  Remember, you will be the future for all of us in the next 10-20 years because you'll be running the world!

Newest Studio Toy -- We've Got a Ringlight!

Anyone who knows me, knows I like being the first to offer some of the coolest & newest things to my clientele.  Although it's not that new, I recently purchased a ringlight for my studio and started playing with it to see what I can offer in exciting new imagery.  Well here is my first session and I was so pleased to have Tara Fuerst as my "guinea pig" so to speak.  We spoke on the phone and I sent her over a photo of what I had in mind for makeup, and Tara did an amazing job of bringing out her eyes and getting the feel of what I wanted.  Enough already on all the blah blah blah about the session, so here are a couple of my favorite images from the session...

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.

Ashley Gilbert - Escondido High School

I was so happy to hear that one of my recent sessions, Kimberly Elliott, was a friend of Ashley and that she liked the photographs so much that she called me for her creative session.  Wanting a contemporary look, she booked the Grunge Session and we spent over two hours taking photographs around the alleys of Escondido, a train track, and also at Lake Hodges.  I discovered a really crazy colored wall over there recently and loved it for it's simplicity and bright color.  And there was even a newly painted "graffiti" wall in Downtown that we used too!  Here's a sample of some of Ashley's best images (click to view larger):

New Designs for Seniors!

Bored of the same old frame that holds only one photograph?  Looking for something fresh and new, something that stands out from everyone else's senior portraits?  Then look no more!

 

Heidi, at a Slice of Life Photography, loves graphic design and is always on the lookout for new and contemporary designs.  Her latest find includes three different collections that should look good with just about any session.  They come in 5x7, 8x8 and 12x12 sizes and Heidi can even do the framing for you too!  Let us know what you think.

Refer 3, Get 3 Free!

Seniors, have I got a great deal for you!  Refer 3 of your friends to A Slice of Life Photography that book sessions with us, you can get 3 duplicate 3x3" Accordian Albums with your favorite images from your session.  That's one for you, one for mom, and one for dad...or maybe one for you, one for your boyfriend/girlfriend and one for your favorite grandparent.  You decide!

The albums cannot be ordered until all 3 friends book their session and place a $250 minimum order.  You can choose from 10 different designs and these cool albums even have a magnetic closure on them!  They're too fun and can be carried easily in a purse or pocket.

Don't let this great opportunity pass you by!  Purchased, these three albums would normally cost you $275, so that's a pretty good investment for telling your friends about us.  And when you think A Slice of Life Photography can't get any better, we do!
