Easter Photos & Magazines

Hi All! Easter is coming up fast (already!) so if you were thinking of having Easter photos done of your little ones, I am running a promotion until April 1 to make sure you get everything on time!

For $125, you receive your session, all the images on disc, 16 wallets, and (2) 5x7. Please contact me as soon as possible to book :)The nicer weather is also just around the corner :) So if you are thinking of doing family, engagement, or just because photos, please contact me so we can make sure to get a date that works for you :)

I have also updated my website (for those that haven't taken a peek in the last month or so!). I am now very happy with it and feel it is completely *me*. I welcome any feedback!

I also thought I would share my exciting news. I have it mentioned on my website (http://www.samanthapetrushak.com/) but I thought I would send a message out about the newest product I have--magazines.

These magazines are really great quality and they make a beautiful (and cheaper!) alternative to parent's albums or look really great on a coffee table filled with photos from your family session! There are tons of ideas and possibilities for these!

This is a portfolio I did up with images I've shot and information about sessions with me and who I am, but it gives you idea of what we can do with it. http://magcloud.com/browse/Magazine/9034

If this is something you may be interested in, ask for a quote when you book a session!

Beres Family

My best friend's little guy turned 2 last week. So amidst the tears, we went and did some family photos (and we laughed about how in the 2 years of his life, we've never gotten out to do some--odd seeing as her best friend is a photographer). Here are a few samples from their shoot. Happy Birthday Little Man :)

With the cold weather, it tends to be a *slower* season for photographers who don't own studios :) Recently however, I have worked with a few good friends and photographed their families for them. Here are some of our photos from the session with Melissa and her two beautiful girls:

Red Ribbon Exhibit

This weekend was the Red Ribbon Exhibit and Sale for the Arts Council. It was such a great time! It was organized so well and the music, hor d'oeuvres, and wine were exceptional. It was nice to meet and speak with fellow artists from all around the Niagara Region. I was also blown away by the high level of art hiding in our city :) Needless to say, I was rather nervous about my first exhibit. But within an hour on the Saturday night, I was floating--I sold a print! It was the print "Aftermath" from my shoot with Captain Ziegler. It kept me going all night then again this afternoon. Then to round out my amazing weekend, my piece that I donated for the Silent Auction ALSO sold! Couldn't be happier!

And on a personal note, my good friends Lizz & Dustin had their sweet baby girl last week. She is completely breathtaking and already loved. So just a little congrats to them :) If it's possible (and I have their OK), I may post some photos later of her that I've taken for their birth announcements!
