8th Grade Promotion... How Can That Be?!

I realized just how long it's been since I posted on this blog (sorry, poor little blog, but Facebook has been getting ALL the attention lately). Oh my! I'll have to try to do better in 2014!

In other news, my daughter (my firstborn, my sweet baby girl) is in 8th grade, and there is talk of 8th grade class trips, dances, and... promotion/graduation ceremonies. How did that happen? How in the world did she go from her first day of kindergarten, in the cute little denim jumper and ankle socks with the Care Bear backpack, to EIGHTH GRADE in a blink of an eye?! Sooo very hard to believe...

In honor of my daughter's upcoming graduation from 8th grade (small sob), I have decided to run a studio special for other parents who would like to commemorate this occasion as well!

Please contact me at 815-354-7408 or heidi@heidikreitzphotography.com in order to take advantage of this special.

Now, I must locate a tissue while I look through old photos of my daughter... :)

Sizzlin' Hot Summer Special!!

This week is going to be crazy hot - we're talking heat advisory weather!! Since this is not ideal for outdoor photography, I'm going to run a promotion now to be used when the weather is nicer :)

The Sizzlin' Hot Summer Special goes like this: book a session this week (through Friday, July 22) for August or September, and receive a $75 credit towards any product of your choice. Yes, this includes canvas, prints, accordion books, AND the new framed prints I am offering from JasperLilly!!!

Hot deals like this are too good to pass up, so call 815-354-7408 or email today :)

Spring Studio Mini Sessions!

I decided to try something new this year... just in time for Easter and Mother's Day!

I am offering a mini-session in studio, which will include the digital files with print release!! This is something new, so be sure to sign up soon if you are interested.

Be sure to tell your friends about this fantastic special, after you reserve YOUR slot, of course!

President's Day Special!

Today is President's Day.... and the kids are home from school. This could go one of two ways... the kids are whining and fighting and driving me crazy, OR they are happy to have the day off and being nice and helpful. Surprisingly, they are helping me clean the house without complaint, and I am in a great mood because of it!

SOOOOO, in honor of my good mood, I am running a President's Day Special! Book today, and receive 50% OFF your session fee!

I don't run specials like this often, so take advantage and call or email to reserve your spot today. (And be sure to thank my lovely children... you are benefiting from their hard work!!)

2010 Mini Session Dates announced...

If you are interested, book soon! These popular sessions fill up quickly!

Summer Special!

Summer is just flying by!! July is here, and before we know it, it too will be gone and the kids will be heading back to school.

In honor of this fun summer of 2009, I'm offering a photography special! Schedule a session to be held during the month of August and pay only $50... AND receive a complimentary 5x10 Summer storyboard with every order of $400 or more!

I will be on vacation for a week, so I will be back to work on July 20. Feel free to email or send an inquiry through my website to reserve your date... things are starting to fill up :)

Happy Summer :)

Announcing a Special Summer Session in Wisconsin...

One of my very first clients was an adorable 9-month old baby who lives in WI (near my mom). I have been asked to come back to take his 2-year photos this summer... I can't believe how time flies!!

I thought it would be a great opportunity to take that time to offer some on-location portrait sessions in the Appleton area while I'm there that weekend... the date will be:

Saturday, June 21

with the location yet to be decided on... (feel free to make suggestions if anyone has any)!

I still have availability for later in the morning and late afternoon...

She's growing up so fast...

I've been busy lately editing the First Communion photos I took for our church (church lighting - ugh), but I can't post those b/c I don't have model releases for all the kids.

However, I CAN post a couple of my beautiful daughter... I actually cried when we put on her dress before the ceremony!! She thought I was joking about crying, but I really got emotional seeing her in her communion dress and veil. She looked just perfect, which would make me tear up anyway. but this really hit me that she is in 2nd grade!!! And it seems like just yesterday that she was wearing her baptism dress...

My baby is getting so old!!! Looking at her made me think that before I know it, I'll be doing her prom pictures.... ARGGGHH!!! I'm not ready for that. So for now, here's my baby in her communion dress :)

And my mom was a little nervous when I handed her my camera (a little different than her point and shoot!) to take a family photo for us (well, minus our son who couldn't be bothered to be in any pics with his sister), but she did a great job, didn't she?

First Communion Special

Spring is a special time of year for many children... it's time for their First Holy Communion!

In honor of those children (like my very own dear daughter E), I'm running a special First Communion Session through June 30, 2008.
