Cyber Monday!!! | Northwest Arkansas Portrait Photographer

Posted on November 29, 2010

Oooh, there have been a ton of fantastic offers, specials, and deals floating around everywhere since Friday. It’s been sort of fun to watch and hear all the excitement from my friends. Me? I’ve never been brave enough to face the crowds of Black Friday. Cyber Monday is more my cup of tea. I like to shop in my jammies with a cup of coffee while listening to my kids!!

I can’t let today go by without my own little Cyber Monday special. How does $100 gift certificates for only $50 sound? Yay!! Email cherron@raininglightphotos.com if you would like to purchase. Keep them for yourself or pass them out as gifts! (not redeemable for cash.  Must be used by Dec 31, 2011. Sale ends at midnight tonight!)

And because I don’t like posting without a photo, here is one of my new favorites from the Cherronelli series!!

End of Summer? Let’s add some heat! | Northwest Arkansas Boudoir Photographer

Posted on August 15, 2010

It is my great hope that by capturing as much hotty hottness in the bedroom as I can that there will simply be none left to sizzle for the end of summer. Just BOOM, like that, fall will be upon us. Really, you can thank me later.

Silliness aside, check out the special I’ve got going on in celebration of my new boudoir website, Raining Light for the Night.

Casting Call | Northwest Arkansas Lifestyle Photographer

Posted on January 17, 2010

Today I went to my grandparents’ house and spent the day with them. After a yummy lunch and lots of talking, I set up my lights and camera to take a formal portrait of them as well as with my little family. It made me think of what kind of photographs I really wanted to be taking of them. The interaction between them and my children. The laughter and the smiles that were natural and at ease. My grandparents are not fans of the camera so I’m happy with what I got today, but it made me think of how I would want a family session to be. I found myself wanting to focus a little more on the relationships & connections in a family. To give myself the opportunity to experiment a little and give some new ideas a try, I’m officially announcing a casting call for models! Here’s the scoop:

*These sessions will be geared toward capturing one or two specific ideas so participants would have to be willing to agree to one of a few ideas.

*The session will be free of charge and will take place at the subjects home. Prints & products will be available for purchase at regular prices.

*A model release will be required allowing me to use the images on my website, for marketing, etc.

*Standard Raining Light Photography policies apply.

So what types of models am I looking for?

*A family with 2-3 children that are toddler to preschool ages.

*A family with a single baby three to nine months.

*A family with a single baby two to six weeks.

Please contact me for more information on the specific types of images I’m hoping to capture and if you or someone you know may be interested. A 5×7 will gifted as a thank you.

Christmas Mini-Sessions! | Northwest Arkansas Photographer

Posted on October 8, 2009

Wait. It isn’t even Halloween yet and I’m already talking about Christmas cards? That’s right! My maternity leave begins at the end of this month so I wanted to opportunity to offer mini-sessions for those that are asking for Christmas cards. There are two collections to choose from this year. Each will include a twenty minute session, 8-10 proofs to choose from, and one digital file, but one will include a 5×7 digital photo card for you to print off where you wish while the other will include a set of 24 5×7 press printed cards.

The sessions will be held outside over the course of two days, the 24th and 25th, with a few sessions held in the morning and a few in the evening. Payment is due upon booking and is non-refundable due to the limited availability of the sessions. If you’d like to see samples of the cards, have any other questions, or would like to book your session, email cherron@raininglightphotos.com!

Share in my vision! | Northwest Arkansas Lifestyle Photographer

Posted on July 22, 2009

Time is flying by.  Soon I shall be tucked away for maternity leave and will have nothing to photograph but my new little baby and my darling family.  Woe is me. ;)   Sounds pretty perfect, doesn’t it?  My dilemia is that I currently have SO MANY ideas running around in my head that I would love to explore before this happens, so I’ve decided to run a sort of Portfolio Pricing special from now until my maternity leave.  What does this mean?  This means that anyone who books a session with me agrees to go along with my creative vision in exchange for a discounted session fee and 10% off orders.  Does this mean that I’ll have you running around and doing crazy things while I’ll chase you with a camera?  Well, maybe,  :)   but mostly it means that we’ll try out some of the ideas I have in my head to fine tune my style and produce some beautiful images to showcase my work.  There are some specific locations I want to try out for different types of sessions, a few new techniques I want to perfect, and I’m very excited by it!

Remember, ‘family’ session is defined by one person to five.  :)

What’s that about Senior Specials? I’m offering a limited amount of sessions and products at a great price as I start to focus more on senior sessions in the future. Seniors who book with this special offer will get a session, fifty 411 cards, an 8×8 coffee table book to show off the images, along with three digital files with printing rights all for $200. What are 411 cards? They’re fun cards with an image or two on the front and information on the back, perfect for passing out to friends so they can have the information needed to keep in touch as everyone embarks on the next chapter in their lives.

Kicking off the Summer | Northwest Arkansas Lifestyle Photographer

Posted on June 3, 2009

While I really enjoy the cooler spring and fall months, there is just something exciting and wonderful about the summer, even with all of the heat! The kids are out of school, vacation is coming up, and the light wants to stay out forever! It’s also a time for lots of fun outdoor activities. We’re determined to be able to go camping and/or canoeing at least once this summer since we weren’t able to last year. John and I used to go all the time before the kids, and now we look forward to being able to do it as a family. Heat and outdoors goes well with pregnancy, right? :) Think using the pregnancy card will convince John that we HAVE to use a site with electricity? This is usually a camping no no in his book.

I’m getting a little off subject. To celebrate the summer, I’m offering Summer mini-sessions! These half hour sessions will include 10-15 proofs to choose from and will include either a mounted 11×14 print OR two 5x7s and an 8×10 for $130. There are only a limited amount of sessions available. For more information, or to book your session, you can email me at raininglightphotography@yahoo.com

Are you going to Prom? | Northwest Arkansas Portrait Photographer

Posted on March 26, 2009

I love Prom. I love seeing all of the amazing dresses, everyone dressed up so well, and the personality of young adults shining. I was wanting to offer prom portrait sessions this year, but I am already booked on Prom weekend. That doesn’t dampen my spirits for Prom, however. I want to do some high fashion, urban type sessions with prom dresses! Why only dress up once when you can do it again for some fun, unique portraits? I’ve done this with wedding dresses before and think it will be so much fun to put a high school twist on it.

If anyone is interested, please email me at raininglightphotography@yahoo.com!
