awesome new products and some studio news | ct children’s photographer

Nothing is more classic than a traditional print (or, even better, a beautiful wall gallery) and having all of your images on CD is the perfect way to archive your memories, but I’ve been wanting to offer my clients something a bit more for a while now. That’s why I’m so excited to finally launch my product line! I have been spending a LOT of time over the past few months researching companies, searching through websites and catalogs, and ordering samples in order to bring you the best of the best products available only to professional photographers. I’m not quite done yet – I’m still in the process of designing my top-of-the-line album, a gorgeous 10×10 coffee table book with a custom image cover, and I’m putting together some beautiful birth announcements. Take a look in the boutique and let me know what you think! I love to hear client feedback and, as always, I’m open to suggestions if you’ve found something that you love that I don’t currently offer.

A few more quick announcements …

The spring newsletter is going out very soon, so if you’re not on the mailing list email me at kelli@kellidease.com.

I will be away on vacation from Wednesday, the 24th through Sunday, the 28th. All calls and emails will be answered promptly when I return.

And finally, don’t forget to enter the session giveaway contest for your chance to win a free photo session and a full digital package!

spring session giveaway! | ct children’s photographer | kelli dease photography

Last year’s session giveaway was such a success that I am doing it again!! The prize is the same: a FREE photo session and a complete digital package (valued at over $1,300!) but the contest will work just a bit differently.

So, who can enter? Anyone! (As long as you have, or are expecting, a child, that is!) How do you enter? That’s easy! You can enter once in each of the following ways:

First, enter using this link. **LIMIT ONE SUBMISSION PER PERSON, PLEASE!**
Then, follow me on Twitter. (Already following? You’re automatically entered.)
Finally, fan me on Facebook. (Already a fan? You’re automatically entered.)

That’s up to three entries per person.

** BONUS **
Forward this blog post (just use the “email a friend” button at the bottom of the post) or the entry link (http://www.kellidease.com/machform/view.php?id=3) to any and all of your friends who might be interested in winning a FREE session. Make sure to tell them to put your name on the line that says “I found out about this contest through”. For each friend that you refer, you will receive a bonus entry. (So, what if your friend wins instead of you? Don’t worry, you will receive a special gift for your referral.) The more you spread the word, the more chances you’ll have to win!

The deadline for entries is Wednesday, March 31st. A winner will be drawn at random on Thursday, April 1st and announced here on the blog.

Good luck!!

THE NECESSARY FINE PRINT: Please, please, please only submit legitimate entries using only your primary email address. You can also enter using your spouse’s name if you’d like, but don’t branch out to aunts, uncles, kids, pets, etc. Don’t spam your entire contact list with the entry link or bribe your relatives to enter and cite you as a referral. Please play fair or you WILL be disqualified!

Ok, now that we’re past that, enjoy a few pictures from last year’s winning session:
