More new stuff at Magee Images!

We believe in providing a little something for everyone. So here's a little glimpse at some of the new items we will be offering!:

Senior Slideshows - great for graduation parties and momentos for grandparents. You can pick 25-40 images and one song and we'll put a great DVD slideshow together. For an additional $25, you can provide us with 10-20 snapshots or released images from other photographers from your senior's childhood to include in the slideshow. Cost is $85 for senior portraits only; and $110 for childhood and senior portraits, plus tax. There will be a significant discount for multiple copies of the same DVD.

Social Networking Cards - you have a standard photo session with us and pick your favorite photo, colors, fonts, even clipart, and we will design a custom, 2-sided social networking card. These are great for seniors (can include myspace or facebook address, email, cell phone, address, etc) and as Mommy cards (use for emergency contacts, give to other parents to schedule playdates, etc). Vibrant colors, great images, and a one-of-a-kind networking card. The price of these are $45 for 100 cards, plus tax.

Web Ready Images - so that you aren't infringing on our copyright, we will provide up to 10 images from your session on CD or via email, which will include a web release. The images are in low-resolution to prevent printing but are great for showing off your images on your myspace or facebook page. Great for seniors, teens, and business professionals. The cost of the CD and release is $25 plus tax.

Senior Graduation Announcements and Party Invitiations - I am steadily working on designing this year's graduation and party announcements for seniors. I hope to have several examples up on our gallery by the end of the week. The price varies based on size, so I will add the information to our website once I post the samples to our online gallery.

Custom Photo Jewelry - I announced several months ago that we will be offering custom photo jewelry. It took a long time to narrow down the prospective vendors to find the one I think our clients will be most happy with. Still working on a catalog/price list, so look for this information to be added to the Creative Designs page on our website by the end of the week.

Studio Renovation - we're getting ready to do some minor renovations in the studio. We're going to be adding a changing room in the studio...complete with mirror, places to hang your clothes, and outlets and lighting for hair and makeup touchups. The few changes we have planned should only take a day each so we will not need to close down for any of the renovations; we'll schedule the renovations on "slow" days.

Trash the Dress - be on the look out soon for our first Trash the Dress! On August 30th, Sean and I will be celebrating our 5th wedding anniversary. Though I am not the most photogenic person to be Sean's first Trash the Dress client, I am 100% looking forward to my husband creating some great images of me in my dress. So I will be trashing my dress sometime over Labor Day Weekend!

As always, we continue to look for new and unique poses, props, and settings for our clients. We value your opinion and would love to read comments on our blog about your experiences with us, things you would love to see, or just your comments on our pictures.

Thanks,
Kathy

This contest is simple and easy! All you have to do is go to any blog post of ours from 2008 and post a comment! You don't have to be a client already to win this contest! The comment needs to tell us what you like about the post your commenting on (the pictures, your experience with us if it's your own pictures, thoughts on new items, etc.). Be sure to put your full name on your comment. We'll announce the winner's name in another blog post on during the week of August 18th and they will have one week to contact us! The winner will receive a complimentary gift certificate worth $25. Even if you think it's too late to be the first, leave us a comment anyway...we just might announce more than one winner!

Good luck and thanks for entering the contest!

Seniors '09

We've had several seniors come in during the past week to have their portraits done. Robert, Chelsey, and Staci each had their own style, their own personality, and their own look. Here's a snapshot at each.

Their full galleries will be up soon! Enjoy your senior year, Class of 2009!

Update on us...

Well, we've finally gotten around to making some changes to our website (www.mageeimages.com) and we think it makes it easier for everyone to move around the site. We've also added a couple of slideshows with pictures: one on the Weddings page and one on the Seniors page. We hope everyone likes them. If you come across any problems with the newly designed site, please let us know!

We're busily getting ready for the 2008 SEMO District Fair where we will have a booth in the Arena Building for the 3rd year. We're really excited about our booth this year, so be sure to visit with us while you're there. We'll be running some specials and will be giving away a family session every day of the fair as we have every year! Be sure to come out and see our samples of some new photo gifts we are offering.

Eric & Stephanie's Kids

Sean shot Eric and Stephanie's kids last Saturday at a park in Springfield, MO. Such adorable kids in their matching camo! Here's one of each of them and couple of them all together.







Thanks and enjoy the pictures!

End of Summer Special

We are starting to book for our End of Summer Special now! Instead of getting your son or daughter the "cookie cutter" back-to-school pictures, get photos that show their personality! The End of Summer sessions will be on-location: your own backyard, city or county parks, downtown/riverfront of Cape, Old McKendree Church, or Bollinger County Mill, for examples. Due to the heat of the summer, we highly recommend scheduling your session for the evening, between 6 and 8 p.m. There is an additional fee for travel outside the area. Your End of Summer Special includes:

20 minutes per child
One location and one outfit
1-8x10
2-5x7s
8-wallets
16-mini wallets
Only $49, including tax

Additional children from the same family are only $35 each.

Call now to book your session as the End of Summer Special ends August 23, 2008! Credit card is required to book...if you don't attend your session, your card will be charged our regular booking fee of $20. Package payment is due at your session and can be paid by credit card, cash, or check at that time.

Expect a high energy, fun outdoor session that your kids will love! Here are a few samples:





Call soon to get the date and time you want as our summer sessions are filling up quickly!
