*** BLACK FRIDAY, CYBER MONDAY SPECIAL ***
I am so very thankful this Thanksgiving. My brand new business has been launched, and the feedback has been so positive. I really love all my client families, and working with each of you. I have made life-long friends - how neat is that!? I really, truly love my job. And I'm so thankful for the kindness of my blog readers, Facebook and Instagram followers, and how each of you have commented, liked and shared my photos and posts. And even prayed, when I have brought concerns to you. You are all so awesome.
Thank you! You each make my day a little bit brighter every day!
So I want to turn around, and offer a pretty neat special this first Thanksgiving my business is open. Between today and Monday I am including a professionally printed, high quality photo book or a customized wooden print box (with professional lab prints!) of the Story Gallery photos FREE with your next Day In The Life Session, when you book your session by Cyber Monday (11/28/2016). This is a $250 value!
If you've ever made a photo book, you know how much work it is. And I will do it for you! You can see more photos of the photo book here, and more photos of the wooden print box here. They are both just gorgeous!
To read more about my Day In the Life Sessions, click here and here.
Contact Me for details, and include three dates that would work well for you.
A non-refundable deposit is required to book your day.
Happy Thanksgiving to Everyone! Make sure to document your time together with family and friends!
Gift Ideas: A Wooden Print Box
My specialty and passion is in documenting every day life for families. These sessions are called Day In The Life, and the they last all day. I come and spend the day with you, documenting this stage in your life. You can read more about these sessions here. And make sure to check the Day In The Life tab on the website, as well.
After a Day in the Life photo session I send you three links. One is a link to a movie, that tells the story of your day in about a 100 photos (like this one) from your Story Gallery, one is a link to the same photos in an online gallery form, and the third link is to see your Full Gallery, approximately 300-500 photos from your day.
Now that you've seen your beautiful photos - ones that have made even your friends cry - what to do? Sure, you can view and/or purchase the digital files, but wouldn't it be wonderful to have the pictures printed, too? I highly recommend printing your Story Gallery photos into prints, or making them into a lasting photo book.
I am so excited to offer a stunning, customized wooden print box, filled with the images from your Story Gallery. I use a professional printing lab, which guarantees the colors are true, and every print is high quality. I design the cover of your print box from your images, and add your last name, the month and the year of our Day In The Life session.
If you'd like to see an example of a photo book I made in a professional lab, click here to see one. I have now made a few of these books, and they are all so, so gorgeous!
These print boxes with the images (and the photo books) make the best gifts for moms, dads, grandparents, godparents and for your children! Can you imagine their joy in receiving such a precious gift?
Or how about a gift card for a Day In The Life session of their own?

Not just Vero Beach, Florida, and the surrounding areas, I can travel to your location, too.
A One Hour Documentary Photo Session
Last week I post about the Mini Session. While it can be fun and fast, it is just that - over so fast you get what you get. In a One Hour Documentary you have more opportunities to get the family portraits done, but also get relaxed images of you and your children playing, exploring, interacting.
For the B family we chose a park setting where the kids enjoy climbing trees, exploring and running around. For a One Hour Session we can pick any location your family would enjoy best - the beach, the park, your home, your favorite ice cream shop, a bowling alley - the ideas are endless.
You can certainly dress in coordinating outfits, but that is not necessary. We can document your everyday life in whatever way that represents your family right now.
If it was my family? My youngest would wear her ballet leotard, tutu and her broken butterfly wings.
My 2016 sessions are almost all booked up - contact me for availability and booking!
A Mini Photo Session for Christmas Cards And Gifts
A Mini Photo Session is a quick way to get your family pictures taken. Perfect for Christmas cards! And perfect if you know your kids will cooperate (somewhat), or if you don't mind if someone is showing a grumpy face in the pictures.
In a Mini Session you get 30 minutes with the photographer, and end up with 5-10 digital images. For some families that is all that is needed. Click, click, click and you're done.
If that is not enough, there is always the One Hour Documentary Session, where you can feel a bit more relaxed, get both portrait images as well as documentary squeezed into the one hour. You also get more photos, 15-20 from your session.
These images were taken this past Saturday in a Mini Session. You might recognize the family from one of my Day In The Life Sessions (see their movie here).
Stories of Joy Photography does not offer these Minis very often. My passion really is to document the ordinary days in the lives of families. I find the all day 'Day In The Life Sessions' to be more special and meaningful, but it is kind of fun to do these quick sessions sometimes - especially right before the Holidays!
I have two 'Mini Sessions' and one 'One Hour Session' available this month. Contact me for details, and to book your session. But hurry - these will book fast! Or find out when we can schedule your 'Day in The Life Session'! (Before your family is in a whole new stage in life...)
