Have you been good this year?

We know how much you want to avoid the mall this Holiday Season.
So we made things a little easier for you. We gave Santa a call and he was so excited to come to our studio again this year!

He'll be here Friday, December 17th and Saturday, December 18th.

For those of you that want your own private session with Santa we'll be scheduling times just for you all day Friday, December 17th. And for those of you that want to drop by at your own convenience we'll have a set amount of time for you too! Drop by the studio any time between 10am-5pm Saturday, December 18th.

The cost for your session with Santa is just $25 and includes 1-5x7!
(We will have other print sizes and packages available for purchase. And since we print right away you'll even have them for Christmas gifts!)

So come in your Christmas best with your list in hand!


Call now for an appointment and stay tuned to our blog for more information as Santa's visit gets closer!

Holiday Mini Sessions!

The Holidays are just around the corner!

(I know, we find it hard to believe too!)

But to help you with the busy time of year we're making things easy by offering a day of mini sessions!

You can bring in the family for a quick, 20 minute session and have cards and gifts for the grandparents just in time for the Holidays!

Sessions are limited, so make sure to call right away to schedule your session for Saturday, November 20th!

We haven't fallen off the face of the earth... I promise!

It's been brought to my attention that I have neglected our little blog. I'm sorry.

*hangs head in shame*

But we're back, and I won't let it happen again! December was crazy, and for any of you that came by the studio I know you can vouch for that! Here is a little tiny sliver of a glimpse of what's been going on here at Simply Portraits while the blog took a little vacation.

And of course, SANTA came!

For those of you that have asked, I've already talked to Santa and he said he would be able to come back the same weekend this year! So mark your calendars, he'll be here and he's bringing Mrs Clause too!

Yes, we dressed up like elves and helpers. (But clearly not everyone was as cool as Kara, Carlene and myself) And yes, I included my own "child" even though he didn't get to "see" Santa. He still needed his Christmas picture taken!

Overall 2009 was an AMAZING year! It would not have been the same without YOU! So thank you for being a part of our 2009 and we can't wait to see what 2010 has in store for us!

Santa Claus is coming to town......

So I hope you've been good and have your list ready!!

We still have appointments available so give us a call to secure a time slot.

Or of course you can drop in Friday or Saturday from 1-5.

UPDATE: We just got off the phone with Santa and he is SOO excited! He's even bringing Mrs. Claus with him!

Special Holiday Information!

HOLIDAY ORDERS

Don't wait until the last minute to order pictures for the Holidays!

(You know Grandma and Uncle Larry really want an updated picture!)

Just make sure to get your order to us by Wednesday, December 16th.

That is the absolute last day we will be accepting orders.

(And if you really sweet talk me we might even place an order from even older sittings)

SANTA CLAUS IS COMING TO TOWN!

If you're like most people and have a crazy life and know you can't get a full sitting in before Christmas then make sure to check out our mini holiday sessions with Santa!!

Yes, you heard me right! The man himself will be here for TWO days!
So make sure to check out all the details here.

Just make sure you don't wait too late to call and set your appointment!

SPECIAL HOLIDAY HOURS
We will be closed Thursday, December 24-Monday, January 4
(And we are completely booked and will not be taking any more appointments. For those of you that have sittings during that time and just had a heart attack, don't worry that doesn't pertain to you. We just won't have our regular lobby hours or take any more sittings during that time.)
Also, we will be at a convention January 7-12.

Phew, did you get all of that?

If not, feel free to call or email.

Happy Holidays!!!
