It’s March already! Can you believe it? Time for the Class of 2010 to begin their final steps towards the end of high school.

I put together a slideshow of all my seniors from last year – the Class of 2010. Seeing them all together like this is amazing – what a great group of young people, so full of energy and beauty and spirit and fun. Thank you so much guys – for choosing me to capture this special time for you. Enjoy your last few weeks of high school!

Hello All,

Randal here again. Please take a moment to enjoy this picture of me working. Yes, this was at the end of a location search outing that Ali and I took one morning this week, which is part of my new job, but doesn’t feel like work. Ali was nice enough to indulge me with a photo of myself among the cherry blossoms. The nice weather has brought on the crocuses, daffodils and tree blossoms much earlier than usually. They make an excellent back drop for a nice family portrait or even a senior picture. So, I declare that the outdoor photo season is officially open. We found some great spots to shoot on our trip and plan to make a photo safari a weekly outing until we get too busy.

Ali has updated the blog with some new features. Please make sure to check out the “floating sidebars” for Facebook and Specials, pretty cool! Speaking of Facebook, you can become a fan from the floating sidebar. Also, if you like what you see on our fan page, feel free to recommend it to your friends.

That’s all I have for now. Have a great weekend.

Randal

senior portrait special | corvallis photographer |

February 19, 2010 Posted in seniors

Happy Friday to Everyone,

Randal here again, Ali and I are just back from our special Trader Joe’s lunch date. (I know, its a glamorous life.) We have established a tradition of treating ourselves to lunch on Friday if we think that we have gotten some work done during the week. Fortunately for me, it doesn’t take too much to convince ourselves.

Anyway, to something more business like, I am very excited to announce that we are offering an early booking special for Senior portraits. Here is the deal, book your full Senior session before March 31, 2010 and you will receive $50 off the $150 session fee AND receive a $50 print credit to use when you place your order. I call this the 50-50 deal and the total savings is $100. Your session can be scheduled for any time up through September, as long as you book it before March 31st, you will receive the 50-50 discount. We may be running other specials later in the season, but this is the best deal that we will offer by far. So contact us now to book your full Senior Session.

Ali and I are looking forward to a really fun Senior Portrait season and with the great weather that we have been enjoying of late, it appears that we are off to an early start. Enjoy the beautiful sunshine this weekend.

Randal
