become art! | southeast michigan photographer

March 23, 2010

that painting of the rocky mountains you picked up at gibraltar trade center may be pretty awesome, but wouldn’t you rather have your
family decorating your walls? although you may have a strong emotional attachment to that painting of a cheetah on black velvet that
currently hangs above your mantel, wouldn’t it be just a little bit better to have a portrait of loved one hanging there instead?

pazy’s portraits now has ten wall design guides to help you during the ordering process. i know
how over-whelming ordering can be and these will definitely make your life easier.

here is one sample:

all ten guides can be viewed here in the client lounge. i can also custom design guides for you using the portraits
from your session. just let me know where in your home you are interested in decorating and i will do the rest!

we have a winner!

February 19, 2010

i am very appreciative for the amazing response to my contest! whether you did some referring or became a fan, thank you! you all rock!

after all of the sorting and counting, i put the names in a random (i pinky promise) name generator on random.org  and the winner is…

MOE COBB (i have a feeling he and wife, angela teamed up together). moe had35 referrals and angela had 175. wow! i think baby hayden is getting close to 6 months, so the timing is perfect!

because i am so nice, i also decided to draw one more name for a $100 print credit to be used with the purchase of a session in 2010 and that winner is:

NIKKI CARMOUCHE

thanks again everybody!

another contest!!! | metro detroit family photographer

February 8, 2010

it’s monday morning and i hate mondays! in an attempt cheer me up and hopefully you as well,  i decided it’s due time for a contest.  it’s been almost a year since the last one!

here’s the deal.  i want more fans on my facebook page. and wouldn’t you love a free session?

it’s super easy to enter the contest.  just refer five friends to become a fan of pazy’s portraits.  once you do that post the five names (first names are fine) on my facebook wall or email them to me at sarah@pazysportraits.com.  your name will be entered once for every five names you refer.

what about the prize???

i will use random.org to randomly choose a name for the winner.  only those who did the referring will be included in the drawing, so if you were referred and want in, refer five people too!  the lucky winner will be chosen friday, february 19th.

the winner will receive a free mini session (to take place in march, april, or may) which will consist of a 30-45 minute session at a location of your choice along with a disc of 5 high resolution images of your choice or a $200 print credit. your choice! past clients are also welcome to play!

and here’s my latest newborn depicting how i feel today:

coming up for air | trenton michigan photographer

November 26, 2009

i have two more sessions waiting to see their sneak peaks, but i wanted to update my faithful blog readers on a few things.

first and foremost happy thanksgiving! i am very thankful for all of my clients who have helped make my first year so successful. i am also thankful for my wonderful family, my friends, the two turkey dinners that i am eating today, my house that i love, that i am going to p.f. changs for lunch tomorrow, and especially for my stock pile of peppermint tootsie roll pops, which are my favorite thing about christmas season. i am definitely blessed!

now back to business…i am completely booked for 2009 and am now booking for 2010. book now, because i am starting to get quite a few requests for january and february.

i have also been getting a ton of newborn requests. just a reminder that i like to do newborns within the first week of them being born. this means it is very important that you book ahead of time so i can put you down. i then adjust as necessary whether the baby comes early or late.  unfortunately, i have been turning people down when they call me and their baby is already a week or two old. this makes me sad because i know how important those newborn pictures are and how fast a baby grows out of the newborn stage.  i can come to your house for newborn sessions (any session for that matter), so it is relaxed and not stressful. i know how hard it is for a new mom to get out of the house.

also, christmas card orders must be placed by next saturday, december 5th. you can view samples here: christmas cards. if you had a session anytime in 2009 and would like your gallery uploaded again to order christmas cards, just shoot me an email and i will make it happen.

don’t know what to get mom or grandma for christmas! a pazy’s portraits gift card makes a super gift and it can be used any time in 2010. gift cards

stay tuned for a contest coming soon and also lots of changes coming to my poorly neglected website! 2010 will bring new collections, a new logo, and much more! so exciting!

i of course must end this update with a picture. i actually took jack out to do his 2 year old photos over the weekend. gasp! jack hardly ever gets his picture taken because mom is too busy taking pictures of other people’s kids. here’s a preview of them. many more to come!

i love him so much, drool on his shirt and all!
