being on the other side of the camera

So as one of my personal goals for this year, I’m going to push myself in front of the camera – on the “wrong” end as it were – as much as possible this year.

free photography – for real!

Our first promotion for 2011 is a pretty big one. Solais Photography is offering 2 hours of free photography to 5 randomly chosen people. What’s the catch? Well .. you gotta come visit me on Facebook to be entered!

I posted earlier about the Solais page on Facebook … now it’s time to show your love!

Visit the Solais Photography page on Facebook, click the “like” button, and you’ll automatically be entered to receive free photography. You have to visit before January 31st. We’ll draw names on Feb 1st and announce the winners then on the Solais Blog and Facebook page.

Here are the nitty-gritty details:

  • 2 hours of photography time can be used for any kind of portrait session: engagement, family, boudoir, pet, headshots, etc.
  • The session cannot be used for wedding photography on the day of your wedding (as we already offer all-day coverage, it’s kinda hard to add 2 hours to that!)
  • Not only will you get 2 hours of photography, you’ll get 2 high resolution files (color corrected and retouched) of your choice from your session. All other files and prints are available for purchase at our regular published prices.
  • Sessions must be booked in 2011. Any sessions not booked in 2011 will be forfeit.
  • Saturdays are not always available, especially from April – October when wedding season is at it’s peak, so keep that in mind when considering when to schedule your session.
  • Sessions must take place within the Atlanta Metro area (approx 20-25 miles around Atlanta as defined by Google Maps) or you’ll need to pay a travel fee (it’s reasonable .. based on the number of miles I have to drive to get to you).

facebook!

Not a lot of people realize that Solais Photography has a Facebook page!  Obviously I haven’t been great about promoting it and I think the beginning of 2011 is time to fix that!

a fresh start for 2011

It’s a new year and a brand new start here at Solais. 2010 was a significant year for me – not so much in doing things or photographing or business building, but in soul searching, thinking, reflecting. I took a big step back from photography and spent a lot more time exploring other options and figuring out what I truly wanted.
