I know it seems too early to think about it, but in reality, GRADUATION is only two months away!
Our Graduation/Open House Invites are one of our most popular items! I custom make each card, to ensure that each announcement reflects your style and personality. In fact, the senior who is showcased below chose to mix it up and put some of his OWN photos with ours! We’d be more than happy to do that with any of your photos too(that aren’t copyrighted)!
All of our cards are double-sided and come with envelopes. Call or email for pricing information or questions!
p.s. Taylor’s graduation information has been changed, so that he doesn’t have any party crashers at his Open House. 
Happy early Graduation, Taylor!
Our referral credit has jumped to $100!
Refer a new client to us, and get a $100 print credit towards your next photo order after they complete their session!
Love us? Love us more after we give you a big ol’ print credit!
Have a happy day!
p.s. We still have availability for our Easter “Box” Sessions this upcoming Friday and Saturday (12th &13th)! Call with questions or to book your appointment! 712.326.9355
At our Open House we had a couple of weekends ago, we offered a special to everyone who attended…..PREPAY for your 2010 session and receive a $100 print credit towards that session. Some of our current clients were disappointed that they were unable to attend and have asked if I could pretty please continue that “great deal”…..
Well…. okay, okay! The offer has officially been extended through Sunday, March 14th. Tell your friends, tell your family, tell the lady behind you in line at the grocery store. ***And a note to my hard-working Senior Reps….this offer applies to upcoming Seniors too!
Simply call 712.326.9355 or email portraits@jselanderphotography.com for info on how to pay. If you know when you’d like your session, great! If you’re not sure when you’d like your session, that’s okay too! You can arrange the session date later.
Thanks to the “S” family for letting us photograph your baby girl! We think she is precious!
p.s. Don’t forget to sign up for Easter Box sessions! Sessions are on Friday, March 12th and Saturday, March 13th ONLY! Scroll down the posts to see details!
Bel Lucia has officially opened it’s doors and business is already booming!
My sister, Kara, designs hats, headbands, clips, etc. and has begun selling to the public. Her work has been featured on the ChicagoStyle Weddings Magazine & Website fan page as a great idea for flower girls in an upcoming wedding! I’m so proud of her!
Luckily, I happen to have a couple of models to show off her products. Here is one of my sweeties wearing her cute hats!
Our “Easter Box” Sessions promise to be the cutest EVER! Combine our exclusive “box” design with a super adorable **REAL bunny rabbit (although the photoshopped purple bunny is kinda cute), and that’s a recipe for precious-ness.
There will only be a limited number of sessions available, so come to our Grand Opening TODAY from 2-5 p.m. to sign up first! Sessions will be available to the public after 5 p.m. tomorrow evening.
Here are the details:
- Sessions will be held on Friday, March 12th and Saturday, March 13th. Availability will be between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m.
- All sessions will be held at our studio at 229 Bennett Avenue in Council Bluffs.
- Sessions will be approximately 20 minutes in length.
- The bunny will be available for pictures, but we won’t get our feelings hurt if you’d rather not have him in the box.
- Easter Box Sessions are $100.
- This price includes your session and a choice of 25 5×5 Double-Sided Greeting Cards or a 3×3 Mini Album that holds ten images from your session.
- Additional prints and products will be available at an additional cost.
One of the HUGE benefits of leasing our new space is the flexibility it gives us during these cold days! One whole side of the building is lined with windows, which lets in beautiful natural light. While it’s still our preference to go on location, we now have the option to shoot at the studio if needed! YAY!
The cutie patootie in these pictures is my niece…..she’s a SWEETHEART! And those adorable hats and headband were made my sister (if you want some, let me know…she’s starting a new business!).
Don’t forget to come check out the new studio for yourself on Saturday from 2-5 p.m.! We’d love to meet you! 
Our new storefront is looking pretty good, so we’re anxious to show it off!
Come February 20th, THIS Saturday, from 2-5 p.m. to say “hi” and see our new set up! It will be an Open House, so drop in and grab a snack anywhere during that time frame!
