models needed

April 24, 2010

All model sessions have been completed.  Thanks to all who participated.  The books look great!!

Not only am I opening a new studio in downtown Roanoke, I’m rebranding and will be offering a really cool line of new sessions and products. Everything will be specialized and geared exclusively towards children’s portraits. One of the really unique products I will be offering is theme sessions that include custom designed coffee table books.

I need 14 to 20 fun and photogenic models between the age of 11 months and 17 years for my new products and branding materials. I am offering one modeling session for each of these…

  • FOUND!   Age 3-4 boy or girl
  • FOUND! Age 11 months to 12 months boy or girl
  • Boy/Girl  Siblings ages 5 to 9
  • FOUND!!  Siblings ages 8 to 14
  • FOUND!!  Girl or two sisters age 6-9
  • FOUND!  Boy or two brothers age 6-9
  • BFF’s – three “tween” girlfriends ages 11-14
  • Girlfriends – three to five teenage girls ages 15-17

All model sessions are $125 and include a 5×5 6×6 custom soft cover coffee table book (a $500 to $800 value depending on the session) plus 10%-30% off additional prints and products. You must be willing to sign a model release and have your session during the month of May or June. Your coffee table book will be available two-three weeks after the portraits session at the ordering session.

More info about each session and sign up is below.  Sign up at online at http://annametheny.bookmonline.com/schedules.  I will be in touch with details like what to wear, what to expect and what to bring.

Earth Day 2010

April 22, 2010

earth day

What a beautiful day to remind us of the gift we have in this planet we live on! I was just sitting here thinking about what we do as a family and as a business to be “green” and protect the earth for my children, their children, and the generations to come. Of course there’s the obvious things like recycling, using biodegradable and natural cleaning products, packing prints and products in recycled gift bags and canvas tote bags that can be reused, reusing all the packaging materials that come to me. I also use paperless billing, contracts, and marketing materials. Even my new studio is “recycled”. It’s an old church in historic old SW Roanoke that has recently been renovated. (Wait until you see how gorgeous the old hardwood floors look in pictures!)

And then there are the not so obvious things, like offering images on a disk. How many times have you gone to get your children’s pictures done and ended up with a drawer full of prints! Just think, for a $9.99 deal (that somehow ended up costing many times that) you not only got enough pics of the exact same picture to give to all your friends and family and you still have a drawerful of what boils down to wasted ink, paper, and chemicals!

By ordering your images on a disk, you can reduce waste by printing only the pictures you want to display and give as gifts. You can show them off digitally through email, facebook, blogs, myspace, and digital scrapbooking. And most importantly, you can digitally archive them so they will be enjoyed for generations to come!

In honor of Earth Day, I’m offering a digital special that includes a photo session at either my downtown Roanoke Studio or the earthy location of your choice and a disk of 20-30 high resolution edited images from the session to print, share, and archive. This is a great deal for anyone planning a session in the near future because you have until Earth Day 2011 to redeem it. This $2200 package is available for only $800 to the first three people who purchase it by tomorrow.

Click here to see if you are one of the lucky three to get this great price on the Earth Day Special. If you are it will take you to paypal for payment.

Enjoy the rest of this beautiful day in celebration of this amazing planet we call home. Peace.

Anna
