For fun: There is a certain something in the store I have had my eye on. If purchased you will receive something fantastic from me. It’s cute and I have been coveting it for weeks. If no one else buys it I think I might and I don’t even have kids. What on earth could it be?

Please RSVP with the form below by April 3, 2009.
Space is limited. Will you be on the list? xoxo – Amy B.

These prices are only available for February. After that things will return to normally scheduled programing.

With high resolution digital files you have the ability to print, post and send your photos to anyone you like in any quantity.
You must lock into package #1 for these prices and are free to upgrade after you view your gallery. With package #1 you are saving upwards of $400 right out of the gate and the savings just get bigger from there.

Regarding the Double Date sessions: Book together and save $50 each. Your sessions will be at the same time and location and focus will be on the kids and family shots secondary. Each family will have your own password protected galleries and package pricing. Each gallery will yield at least 15 photos. Newborn sessions are excluded.

Available dates:
Sat. Feb 7, 2009
Sun. Feb 8, 2009
Sat. Feb 14, 2009
Sun. Feb 15, 2009
Wed. Feb 17, 2009

Sessions subject to a travel fee outside of Temecula Valley. Not to be combined with other offers.

If you have been eyeballing my website, stalking my blog, or begging your husband to sign up. This is the time to do it. Space is limited!

And don’t forget about the February 10th deadline for Giving is Awesome!

I thought that once the holiday rush was over I would have some free time to dedicate to a few projects that I have swirling around in my head but I then had a whole gang of fresh babies  back to back which has kept me super busy. I have also been working diligently to complete THE NEW BLOG.  What do ya think?  Pretty fancy huh!

I had a fantastic holiday season.  I was busier than I ever imagined with 30+ clients from September- November! I couldn’t ask for better clients! Truly the best! Thank you all so much for making my 2008 the best year ever on so many levels. I am so thrilled to be following my dreams and I could not do it without all of you. THANK YOU!!

I knew that I wanted to run with this project as soon as heard about it. I have been wanting to get out into the community and do something straight from the heart for people that need it most.  If you are not in Southern California please visit the Giving is Awesome website by clicking on the image below to find a participating photographer in your area. Locals – Copy the link in the address bar and send this to everyone you know. This is something I would LOVE to do on a regular basis. Without further ado……..

How it works:

You know someone. You know someone who’s experienced a tragedy, is struggling to stay afloat, is 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. 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 totaling $1200.00. A full on location session , all images in high resolution, and a 5×7 session set.

Oh, and the best part? The person who nominates the winner receives a $200.00 print credit. 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. (Being unable to make mortgage payments for a two-million-dollar-vacation-home in Paris does not qualify as sincere financial need.)

* The nominee must reside in Southern California. 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 and your locations.

* You must e-mail me the full story : aboring@aboringphoto.com

Subject: Giving is AWESOME!

Entry Deadline – February 9, 2009

The winner will be announced on Valentine’s Day — get nominating! I can’t wait to read all of your entries!

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

With love,
Amy

More to come…..

25 comments from friends and family = a 5×7 on me.

Traveling out from Newport Beach to Murrieta this beautiful mama to be was down for anything. The weather was a bit questionable but it didn’t stop us. At one point we were out in the middle of the road for a few shots and 3-4 cars stopped to see if we were ok. I suppose an expecting mother wearing an evening gown in the middle of nowhere turns heads. Who would of thunk?

I really like the feel of the last two individually and to me there something special about lensflare as well as a soft focus. Call me crazy but i think several of my peers would be in agreement with this but what about the general public? If you love I would love to hear what you think. yes, photog pals…you too! I think I feel like giving away a complimentary session for the beginning of the year? Would love to hear from you guys. C’mon chime in.

I had a blast Laura stay tuned for your gallery. I can’t wait to meet little Aubrey in December!

25 comments = a 5×7 on me

Kids are amazing little balls of energy with their own ideas of fun aren’t they?  They transform and shape the session by putting their own little hearts and personalities out there.  It is my job to get their little spirits to shine and capture it as you know it for you to remember forever. A big thank you to the little people for trusting me and allowing me on the inside after spending such a short time with them.

I hope you enjoy your little glimpse of what is to come.

25 Unique comments from friends and family = a 5×7 on me.

I am going to start out with two dates with FOUR spots each day. If the response is what I anticipate I will need add on more dates if I feel that I can take on more. Space is limited. Quality reigns over quantity for me and I have other sessions as well. You are also welcome to sign up for a full session for a wider variety of prints to choose from. The focus is on getting that family photo and sessions will last about 20 minutes for each family. Short. Sweet. Fun.

The Details:
Session fee: $75
This is due at the time of booking to hold your spot and is non refundable. 5 immediate family members each additional $15.

Dates & Location:
Saturday October 18, 2008 – Corona Vicinity
Saturday November 1 – Fallbrook

If there is an interest in OC location leave a comment and I will add a date if there is a demand.

Time slots will be as follows: (This may change slightly depending on sunset time)
3:30
4:00
4:30
5:00

Regarding Locations: I am pretty set on the Fallbrook location. It is beautiful and if you like nature you won’t be dissapointed! If anyone has ideas for the Corona area please chime in. Some options: Irvine Park, Yorba Regional, or Oak Glen.

Cards:
5×7 or 5×5 folded cards are press printed on heavy card stock and are available in boxes of 25 with envelopes. One design. The front will feature a full bleed custom photo of your choice and will be suitable for framing. On the inside a personal message and choice of an additional photo (or two depending on the format).

**After much debate I decided not to do templates because for me it is all about the photo and the family.  While I love snowflakes and holiday paraphernalia  people are not going to frame that.  I am shooting for longevity here.

Pricing:
25 cards per box. Envelopes included.

1 box –     $75
each additional box $50

Ala-Carte  print prices will also be made available to you for your own walls or as gifts for those close to you.

Please see the website “a boring style” section for wardrobe suggestions.

Holiday Sessions MUST take place before November 15 and ALL card orders must be COMPLETED by December 1, 2008 to ensure delivery.

I believe this concludes the longest post in the history of the blog. I will update as needed if I missed anything. Ok. Done.

Thanks,

Amy Boring
