Happy Holidays from Our Family

2009-12-18T12:17:00.000-08:00

Thank you for your business and support of my studio this past year. It has been my pleasure getting to know each and every one of you while capturing life's intimate moments of your loved ones. Here's to a new year!

Want a free 8x10 canvas?

2009-11-30T20:04:00.000-08:00

Found this cool link for a great Christmas present by converting one of your own personal photos to be printed out as an 8x10 Canvas Portrait for FREE, you just have to pay shipping and handling

The 8x10 canvas photo is normally $44.99 and you get it free! You can upgraded to a larger size since they give you a $55 credit,but free sounds good to me!

You can add effects, or upgrade to a frame, but still like the free idea.

You pay only shipping and handling which starts at $14.00.

Click the link below to get yours

Let me know how yours turns out.

Giving is Awesome Selection Announcement

2008-12-31T15:01:00.000-08:00

First, I want to begin by thanking everyone that took time out of their busy holiday season to nominate someone for my “Giving is Awesome” holiday giveaway! I, along with almost 500 other photographers world-wide, asked for nominations of someone that deserved a little holiday cheer. I received several powerful and beautiful stories of truly inspiring and deserving people that have been or are going through a season of life I can only imagine, and so choosing a single recipient for this gift was incredibly difficult. Please know that I wish I could provide photography for every person/family that desired it, and I - and other photographers - hope to be able to do this giveaway again in the future to bless another person/family that has suffered or sacrificed so much.

First Moments Photography has chosen two very deserving recipients. Our studio was able to select a grand prize and runner up recipient due to the nominating person paying it forward and donating their session back to First Moments Photography. This allowed the studio to be able to select another family for this promotion as a runner up recipient. The giving person who nominated the gift recipient (who would like to stay anonymous) allowed the runner up recipient to receive their complimentary session (total value up to $200).Now THAT is “paying it forward.

With permission from these recipients, I hope to share their inspirational stories and photos with you all soon. Again, thank you for your generosity.

Danielle

Happy Holidays

Giving is Awesome

2008-12-16T21:34:00.000-08:00

Help our studio be a part of the nation-wide movement “Giving is Awesome” this holiday season.

You know someone who’s experienced a tragedy or a miracle amidst tragedy, is struggling to stay afloat, get healthy, may be raising kids while holding down more than one job, or is volunteering selflessly despite extenuating personal circumstances. You know someone who can’t afford custom photography, but who would cherish it this holiday season.

You know someone who deserves a year-round reminder of their family’s spirit, love, and beauty.

You know someone. I guarantee it.

I want to know who they are, and I want to give them the chance to experience complimentary custom photography – $750 worth of our services and products, to be exact. It's in your power to give them the artwork they deserve this holiday season.

One special person/family will receive a complimentary studio session, their favorite digital images on CD, a DVD slideshow of their session and one (1) 11x14 Framed Wall Portrait and a custom print package of their session.

One recipient of our Special Holiday Gift will be announced on New Years Eve — get nominating! I can’t wait to read all of your entries!

Oh, and the best part? The person who nominates the winner receives a free session (total value up to $200). What better reason to show some love could there possibly be, people?

The rules:

* You cannot nominate yourself, and the person nominated must sincerely be incapable of purchasing my services.

* The nominee must reside in Dane County, Wisconsin, and willing to travel to our studio in Madison. Tell me who you know, what they're experiencing, and why they deserve my artwork.

*Please include a way to contact both your nominee and yourself as well.

* You must e-mail me the full story by December 30th at midnight : info@firstmomentsphoto.com

Open your heart to someone this holiday season — and thanks for giving me the opportunity to open mine.
