These take up to 8 weeks to make, so please plan ahead.  They are CUSTOM, and they are QUALITY, so they are worth the wait!  But, if you’re wanting one back by Christmas, the order needs to be in to them by their deadline of October 31st.  Well, let’s face it… we’ll be busy buying costumes and candy and getting ready for those nasty tricks and tasty treats that week, and I have to have time to prep the file for them as well, so that means that I need orders by October 23rd, which means the last possible date you can schedule your session, review your proofs and pick the image you want for your bag is on October 16.  That is just one month away from now, give or take a few days.  So call now to get on the schedule!  If you need to wrap and ship the bag to Grandma (or another lucky recipient) after you recieve it, then you’ll want to adjust for that as well.  (You know, shipping always takes a little longer that time of year…)

Now that we’ve covered that, let’s move on to the important stuff.  You know.  How you get one!  And, how you save on one!!!

Purchase “The Whole Enchilada” session, and get any of the styles below for 30% off!  (Offer ends December 10, 2010)

Purchase “The Mini” session, and get any of the styles below for 15% off!  (Offer ends December 10, 2010)

Or, want to earn one for FREE?  Yes, I did say FREE.  Then, host a portrait party!  It’s really a day of mini sessions, but you’ll open up your home to your friends and family who pre-schedule their appointment.  It won’t be chaotic or stressful for you, because everyone will have their own appointment time.  They will get a discount on their mini session (HALF PRICE), but you will need to have at least 8 paid appointments to earn your FREE SESSION AND FREE HANDBAG! 

To view the handbag prices, click here:  https://www.ginaalexander.com/collection-allview.htm  (Then just match up thename of the bag below to the name of the bag at the link to see the pricing and optional additional features.)  Prices start as low as $60 for the Dana tote, and prices go up depending upon the style and features of the bag.

You’ve been waiting.  It’s finally time!!!  The mini sessions are back this March!  Saturday 3/27 and Sunday 3/28!  Where?  At the new CityCentre near the Beltway and Memorial, next to Town and Country.  The mini sessions will take place at a {covered} outdoor booth, so they are best suited to toddlers and older.  Are they limited to the little ones?  Absolutely NOT! 

• Did you just get engaged and want just a couple of fabulous shots?  Schedule a mini! 
• Are you a mom addicted to facebook and need a fabulous new headshot for your profile?  Schedule a mini! 
• Do you have several little ones who need updated portraits?  Schedule a mini! 

You can even schedule several if you want extra time (which is highly recommended for more than two peeps).  Just be sure to schedule early to get the best times, especially if you need a couple mini’s back to back. 

While you are there, you can check out a movie at Studio Movie Grill, have lunch at one of the fabulous restaurants, or shop at one of the stores… like Anthropologie!  Town & Country Village has other great shopping, like Pottery Barn, the Gap, White House Black Market, Gymboree, and Carter’s.  And don’t forget to grab a cub of java from Starbucks!  Mmmm!  There will also be other vendors during the market, so be sure to make time to browse all the great items!

To schedule your mini, just email me through the contact page.  (Those pesky little web-bots always steal my email address so I try to avoid typing it, but if you prefer to email me, it is holly at hollyanne .com  — with the @ symbol instead of the word at, and without any spaces.  Hopefully that makes sense!  Or, you can always just give me a ring!  281-645-6211.)

If you’re doing a little e-shopping on Black Friday, these albums will be on sale for 25% off! One day only – 11/27/09!!!

So, before you schedule your next session, be sure to stop by Rattle Tattle at Highway 6 and West Road, between the Marble Slab Ice Cream store and The Little Gym.  With any Rattle Tattle purchase of $75 or more, you’ll get the option to choose one of the three new special Rattle Tattle portrait collections, which include the session and various print options.  Again, you won’t find the details here… you must go to the store!  But, I promise it will be worth your while!  Just be sure to save your receipt, and then call to schedule your session!
