Last night I was up way too late looking through photos that were taken last year and I decided that 2011 was a whirlwind of good for us and 2012 is looking pretty fantastic already.
To my returning customers: I value you more than you'll ever know- you're the reason why I love doing this so much. To my new customers: thank you for trusting me, I look forward to seeing you again (...and again...and again). To my fellow photographer friends: it wouldn't be the same and definately not as much fun if there was no one to share with- thank you for the discussions and the friendships.
TIME IS UP- Thanks everyone!!



So.... While my baby is tearing apart every single cupboard and drawer in my kitchen, let's post my 3rd annual giveaway with a little twist this year for my 2011 and 2012 brides.
Here's the deal:
DEADLINE TO ENTER IS Wednesday JANUARY 11, 2012 @ 5:00
Whoever comments on this post will be entered into a drawing next Wednesday evening (January 11) . The 3 winners will recieve a free on-location sitting with a gallery of 10 images to choose a 16 x 20 sprayed and mounted print from- This package has a value of $150. You are not required to purchase any other prints from this gallery however if you do, you can recieve 25% off of any additional prints purchased.
This will be treated like any regular on-location session so to get session information go to JCL Portraits website and click on the information button. Please pay close attention to the travel fees. If you live outside of my area, you must travel to me. I am not certain of my travel plans but I'll be up in the Houghton, Chassell, Calumet area sometime this summer- I'll post when I'll be up there but it's up to you to set something up during that time frame.
The session must take place within this calendar year or it will be voided.
To my 2011 & 2012 BRIDES AND GROOMS: Most of my 2012 brides have come as referrals from my 2011 brides. As a token of my appreciation you can enter this contest and receive the free 16x20 from your wedding or engagement gallery (the 25% off prints does not apply to this offer) . To my 2012 brides and grooms: Thank you for trusting me with your day, I can't wait!
Tell your neighbors and tell your friends, link your facebook- if you want to like me, that would be ok, too.
