It's (almost) the most wonderful time of the year.....

The holidays are quickly approaching... time to think about your annual Christmas Card!

In the years past, I have offered holiday cards to clients only. And I still do offer this (Clients... if you're interested in the designs available, please go to my Holiday Card blog). I've recently reduced the prices on cards, so that's a bonus!

This year I'm also offering cards on Etsy.com. How does this work, you ask? Well, you can purchase the actual card from my Etsy shop and then email me your own personal images to include in the card. I will design the card (with your images... none from me or any other professional studio) and email you back a JPG file for you to have printed wherever your heart desires.

Holiday Card Sale!

Haven't had the pleasure of meeting me for a session but would like to have your family's picture on a one of a kind holiday card? No problem...you can email your jpeg file** (sized to 300dpi and at least 4x6 size) and I can convert it to black and white for you.

Urban Sessions: Information

I've decided on November 2nd for the urban sessions. I know it'll probably be chilly and who knows... maybe some snow?? However, these will be in some great, rustic and urban downtown areas so the snow and lack of greenery won't matter. If for some reason it is raining or a blizzard, we'll reschedule for the 8th. See details at the bottom of this post for policies regarding these mini sessions.

Additional prints may be purchased at a la carte pricing (or, at the discount as noted in the Prancer and Blitzen packages).

Session slots available:
10:15 BOOKED
11:15
12:15 BOOKED
1:15
2:15
3:15 BOOKED

View the new 2008 Holiday Cards available.

*Galleries will be ready to be viewed within 5 days of the session
*Prints must be ordered and paid for by November 15th to ensure delivery in the beginning of December (so that you can get your holiday cards out!)
*No refunds on session deposit in event of cancellation on your part- if you cancel on the original day or if you are unable to make it on the "rain" date of November 8th.

Updated Cards and Sessions

I'm slowly getting back into the groove of working again. After so many months off (not to mention a new baby and a new house), its hard to get back on track. It doesn't help that I haven't established my office at the new house yet- too many other projects going on thus far. So, I've set up camp in our guest room until we finish my office. I feel discombobulated and unorganized.

This year has flown by and I'm excited for the upcoming months with all the sessions I've been booking. I have many repeat clients (that I can't wait to see again and see how much the kiddos have changed in the past year!) and many new clients as well.

I am hoping to have quite a bit of changes around here.

• I'm tossing around the idea of offering a cd of full resolution images from the session.
  
• I also spent this evening working on some new newborn announcements and will begin creating a few new holiday cards for the 2008 season
• Speaking of holiday season... I'm thinking of running a few mini session days in October and November. The mini sessions will be shorter than a typical session and will only feature 8-10 proofs. The purpose will be basically to get a few great images for your holiday cards
• I desperately need to update my website with some new images!
• I need to update my session information packets

I'm going to be offering new cards from now on (both holiday and newborn). These cards will be double sided and will not be your typical Target style card. They will be printed on either art linen, pearl or standard cardstock. They're sure to wow anyone who is lucky enough to be on your list.

Keep an eye out for a new line of cards for the 2008 Holiday Season. I'll be posting them here in the next few weeks.

Holiday 2007... coming quickly!

If you're thinking of Holiday cards this season, now is a great time to be thinking of getting your order in before the holiday rush. This year I am doing things a little differently... I have created (or, for some of the templates- purchased them from vendors) a set of holiday cards for the 2007 season. Some are from last year, but were my favorites so they're back again. Anyhow, I will be setting up a link to the cards I am offering and will link you to them soon. For now, here are a few.






If you have had a session with me and wish to purchase holiday cards, drop me an email at nicole@nbarczak.com

The deadline for placing your order is November 10th.
