Christmas Special 2011



Several great photographers have teamed up to offer this great Porrtait Sale at Studio M!

GOING ON NOW!
Christmas Special November 12 - 18.

We've got six different Christmas Tree's set up at the studio ready for you! Choose your favorite tree to have your photos in front of.

Sitting fee is only $15 for the first person, and $10 each for additional person and/or outfit.

Sure the other guys... *coughportraitinnovationscough*... don't charge for a sitting fee, but they also don't offer the option for you to purcahse full sized digital files with printing rights. The only thing close that they'll sell you is a $60 cd with the web sized files that are not reprintable, and are tiny and pixelated. What we sell is the full resolution digital files with release that allows you to reprint anytime, anywhere. They're YOUR photos. You should be able to do whatever you want with them.



Individual digital files are $15 each or you can buy the entire set for only $50. Think of all the gift giving possibilities! With your digital files (with printing rights) you can make christmas cards, photobooks, collages, gift items, calendars, mugs, keychains, canvas prints not only from us, but from your favorite websites like snapfish and shutterfly! Plus you'll have the files to keep so if you want to print more in the future, you can! Plus you can email them to family, post on facebook, and share to your hearts content.

*The price for All the digital files is per session, not per child. So a session with two kids will have a sitting fee of $25 plus and extra $50 for the image files.... totalling only $75. You will NOT have to pay $50 for each child. Just per session.

Extra outfits are $10 each. So if you want to do some shots of your little on in their PJ's as well as some in their fancy Christmas outfit, you can. It's just $10 extra.




TIME: Length of session depends on the number of children and outfits. The baseline session is 15 minutes (for one child with one outfit). Add a child and/or outfit and we'll add time to the sitting to accomodate, so be sure to mention if you plan on having your little one change outfits so we can plan accordingly. Up to 45 can be given for a single client (given that they've got several kids and/or outfits.

WHERE: These sessions will take place at Studio M in Belleville. It is located in the old walmart shopping center directly between Chinatown and JHNails. We don't have a lighted sign yet, so you'll have to look for the sign on our front door. There's pleanty of parking out front.

ARRIVAL: If you arrive early for your session, we do have a reception/waiting area in the front with a couch and chairs. Feel free to help yourself to coffee/hot cocoa and cookies while you wait. We'll have toys and activities to keep the kids occupied, but it's in your best interest not to arrive more than 10 minutes before your scheduled time. And please DO NOT arrive late. This will only cut into the limited time we've got alloted for you. We can still shoot your session, but you won't have as much time if you show up late.


PAYMENT: Please bring CASH or a CHECK to pay for your sitting fee only when you arrive. Credit cards will not be accepted at the studio. If you want to get the digital files, you can pay for them via credit when you purchase them online and you'll be able to download them immediately. Or, if you prefer, you can pay via cash or check in person when you drop by Larissa Photography at 161 Orchard Drive, Belleville, IL 62221 to pick up your cd instead. Make checks payable to Larissa photography.

VIEWING: Your photos will be posted online 3-5 days following your session. You'll be able to log in and view your photos for a full month. Be sure to order any prints or image files at this time, as they will not remaine available after this time. You are welcome to share your access code with friends/family so they can order prints from your session as well.
