50% off Wedding Negatives and/or Digital Files Sale--Last Call!!

This is the final countdown for the 50% off Wedding Negatives or Digital Files sale for past wedding clients. This is a great deal if you didn't get them included with your wedding coverage. Sunday the 13th is the last day to get in on the $250 savings. On Monday the price is back up to $500. See the previous post for all the details. If you call and have to leave a message, if you will leave both the bride and groom's last names and wedding date, that will expedite things on my end. Call or e-mail me to take advantage of this special savings!

CAMDEN-Neworn photo session

So much for the theory that newborns don't do anything but sleep. Baby Camden was awake and amazingly alert for the couple of hours that I was at his home for his newborn session. He was determined that he wasn't going to miss a thing. Mom and Dad say that he really sleeps well on a regular basis--and that he isn't normally awake for that long at once. I'll bet he really slept well that night! I guess he didn't want to miss a minute of his photo opportunity. Of course, we were planning on getting some newborn sleeping photos, and being able to pose him at will. Camden was having none of that. He was sure that he was going to be awake and participate in it all.

How cute is he? I loved getting to meet him in his first week of life. Mom and Dad are wedding clients from a few years back--so it's exciting to see their family grow! You may remember them from their pregnancy photo session on here not too long ago. We got in a variety of pics for the newborn session--including the new family. We did some photos with daddy's firefighting gear. We tried to get him in dad's helmet, but he is already too big. I have a feeling he's going to be a big boy. Congratulations to Elizabeth and Jason--you're going to have lots of fun with your new little guy!

Wedding Negatives or Digital File Disc Sale! 50% off--Two weeks only!

Attention all past brides and grooms! I have had a lot of interest from past Brides & Grooms in purchasing the negatives and/or digital files from their weddings. A lot of them go back to the time when my policy was to not make the negatives or files available for sale. As most of you know, times have changed. Most of my brides and grooms now want access to all of their photos to print and post on-line(Facebook of course) as they wish. I have had couples contact me and I have made the negatives and/or files available to purchase. The $500 price is the same as for current/future brides and grooms.

Now for the exciting news. I am running a 50% OFF SPECIAL on all negatives and/or digital files from all past weddings for the next two weeks. That's right, from now until March 13'th, you can purchase your negatives and/or digital files for only $250(plus 6.5% sales tax). After March 13'th, the price will return to $500. Take advantage of this special deal now to make prints for your friends and family, scrapbook, post your photos on your own personal blog or Facebook and every other use you can think of. This is an awesome deal for those who procrastinated and never did anything with their wedding photos, those who just couldn't fit large prints in the budget at the time of the wedding, and those who would just like to have their negatives/files to keep for their own peace of mind.

You can either e-mail me valerigaleri@columbus.rr.com or call either (740)687-0508 or (614)638-6839 to let me know that you're interested. I will need to know your wedding date, as well as both bride and groom's last names. You will also need to tell me if you would like me to send you an on-line invoice to pay by credit or debit card and provide the address for billing. You can also mail a check or pay in person by check or cash if you would like to pick up from me directly. If you would like your purchase shipped, there will be a $12(insured) charge and I will need shipping information.

All negatives and/or digital files will be supplied in the form that they were already captured. Everything from around 2004 and earlier are strictly negatives, after that they may be a combination of both negative and digital files(on a disc). All recent weddings are strictly digital. The digital files are all high-resolution files. I can also provide a Copyright Release for printing, upon request. Call or e-mail with any questions or to purchase!

ISABEL 9 months!!

This gorgeous little one just gets more beautiful every time I see her. She's really getting quite the personality to go with it too! We did some posed photos, then she decided she was keeping my pearls that I brought as a prop. She was off to play with her dog and show off her new bling. I see lots of trips to the mall and the jewelry store in her(and mom and dad's) future. Even though she hasn't quite mastered the official crawl, it doesn't keep her from traveling around the house--very quickly! It's amazing how quickly someone so small can move. I loved the opportunity to work with Isabel(and Mom and Dad, of course) again. Lots more photos from the session will be coming soon!

BRET and MELISSA-Operation Love ReUnited Session

Here is the sneak peek from Bret and Melissa's Op-Love(www.oplove.org)session. I had the pleasure to meet and work with them the day before Bret had to leave for his next deployment in Iraq. Bret's mom came along and we got some mom & son photos too. They also brought the newest member of the family--Trigger--their new puppy. It was great to meet and get to work with the whole crew. I wish Bret a safe time overseas and a big "thank you" for his service!

ELIZABETH AND JASON--Pregnancy Pics!

Here's a sneak peek of Elizabeth and Jason's pregnancy photo session. They are a wedding couple from a couple of years back. I was thrilled to hear from them with the exciting news that they are expecting! Elizabeth was such a beautiful bride and it has carried over--she's an absolutely gorgeous mommy-to-be! I love that they wanted to keep the sex of the baby a surprise--and love the nursery--what baby wouldn't love the warm, cozy animal theme! I also love the fact that Elizabeth has kept and has ready for the new baby her own bear from her baby days. Ironically enough, the bear is a mini-version of a bear that one of my boys dearly loved as a baby/toddler--that I have also kept for him to hopefully carry on the tradition. I look forward to meeting the newest member of the family very soon!

DATE NIGHT DISASTER-Live Music and Band Photography

Going back a ways for these. We had the opportunity to go see our friends Date Night Disaster play at Mickey's in Lancaster back before the holidays. They wanted some updated photos taken and we were finally able to make a show work. It had been quite a while since we had the chance to go out to see a show--and I do love to go see live music! It just doesn't work with my work schedule, or the boy's sports schedules, it seems. It was also our first time to see Mickey's since it's reopened with the new owners and their updates--and I must say it's looking great! With my love of old buildings, I've always loved that one--and it was sad to see it being let go--so hopefully the new owners will keep going with the improvements!

Date Night Disaster put on a great show. If you have the opportunity, I highly recommend that you go check them out. It's always a good time! Enjoy the photos!
