Photo Jewelry Sale

I think that the nicer weather is making my vendors extra generous this week!

Today I'm pleased to tell you that three pieces are on sale at 20% off until Sunday March 20th - The Cocktail Ring - The Leather Wrap Bracelet - The Story Necklace.

It's not too early to start hinting about that special gift for Mother's Day!

For details please email me at sandy@theintrepidlens.com.

Flash Gallery Wrap Canvas Sales - 25% OFF!

My Gallery Wrap Canvas supplier is holding flash sales over the next few weeks - and as always I'm happy to pass along the savings to you!

A new size goes on sale every two days at 25% off. Today's size is 16 x 20, on sale until 6 pm Thursday, March 17th.

Since I've not yet published the 2011 pricelist, the savings will come off last year's pricing - so even more of a discount! The 16 x 20 sale price is $300, down from $400.

The details - savings apply to either images from a past portrait session, or from my fine art collection here. You don't have to commit to a particular image immediately, just the size!

I don't want to bombard all of you with updates every two days on the new size on sale, so if you're looking for a canvas for that spot on your bare wall that's aching for something a little different than a traditional print please email me asap at sandy@theintrepidlens.com so I can notify you when your preferred canvas size goes on sale!

A Peek at the Lighter Side of a Session

There will be more photos to come from this session - there are just so many images that I love! You might recognize a few faces from my previous post, this was the second of two sessions booked by my client for her and her husband's families.

We spent most of our time laughing - this is one family that knows how to have fun!

Three Generation Family Session

My client recently arranged two sessions, one for her husband's family and the other for her own parents and siblings. The first took place last month, the other yesterday (thank goodness the weather cleared for a few hours!) What a thoughtful idea! Grandparents, adults kids and the little ones, both families were lots of fun to spend time with.

Here are a few images from the first session. Everyone had gathered from points across Canada to attend a family wedding the previous day, and the photo session was held in honour of a special birthday.

You'll soon see four of these family members appearing in another blog entry documenting yesterday's session!
