We’re about to celebrate four years of capturing smiles here at Shutter-Happy! And we’re giving away the gifts!Just like last year, I’ve created more Shutter-Happy shirts. But this year’s design is different, with just our new logo on the front. Come by the office some time during our anniversary month of June to pick up your free t-shirt!
(One free t-shirt per family. Buy extras at $15 each.)
Looking for an easier way to refer friends and family to us? Wanting to make sure your referral counts and you receive your free 8×10 print by sending that new client our way?
Introducing… referral cards.
From now on, every client that places a $100 qualifying order will receive 15 free wallets with our logo, website address, and phone number to carry around and hand out to friends and family. All we ask is that you write your name on the back to make sure the new client calling us does use your name as the referral. Easy!
And if you’re looking to refer us now but won’t be scheduling a session until later in the year, just give us a ring. We have a whole stack printed up and would be happy to give them out.
(Attached is a sample of our referral cards.)
During this school year we photographed…
*MOPS’ individual portraits during their playdate and picnic lunch at the pumpkin patch back in October
*FUMC MDO’s individual school portraits in October
*MOPS’ individual portraits during their playdate and Easter egg hunt last month
*FUMC MDO’s class photos and individual graduation portraits over the last few weeks
*Fabra Elementary Dance Team’s individual portraits and team photo yesterday
*And the Hill Country Montessori School’s class photos in a couple of weeks
Many, many hours of work, little pay, but LOTS of exposure. Here’s hoping we get lots of calls from this for children’s and family sessions!
Well, we did it. I was somehow able to dress, pose, and light myself while Nathan worked magic behind the camera. Maternity sessions are tough- I’m so proud of him! Here are some images that we captured, some ideas of what I’d like to take in the future with clients. And don’t forget- any client that will agree to letting us display their images will receive their session for free and free prints!
Did you know we participated in our fourth Komen Race for the Cure? We contributed to the almost 30,000 participants and over $1 million raised for breast cancer awareness, research, and treatment!

And we wanted to let you know about something that may concern you…
Due to the high cost of archiving and storing all the digital files taken every year, it is time to start disposing of some. In the next few weeks I will begin deleting all unused files from years 2004-2006. What does this mean for you? Every digital file that we’ve created a beautiful print from will be stored forever. So don’t worry about those precious memories that we have printed. If those prints are ever lost or destroyed, we will be able to reprint for you. But every digital file that you did not have printed will be deleted and will be unrecoverable. So if there was a proof that you loved but never ordered a print, be sure to call the office or e-mail me soon.
