It’s Birthday Time!! | Providence Newborn Photography
Well, today is my birthday. My 4th 29th birthday to be exact. 😉 And in 12 short days, my own baby girl will be having her first birthday. It is birthday central around here and we looooove birthdays!! As such, I thought it would be the perfect time to announce a newborn special that is going to run through the end of March.
Newborns are one of my favorite types of sessions to shoot. They are so tiny, and precious and perfect — little, teeny human beings, brand new. Contact me if you’re due between January 1, 2010 and March 31, 2010 and you’d like images like these of your newborn:
Now for the details:
All newborn sessions held between January 1, 2010 and March 31, 2010 will receive:
~$50 off of newborn session fee~
~A complimentary set of 25 custom birth announcements~
Contact me today for more information or to book a session – I look forward to capturing those precious first few days for you!
Giving Is Awesome | Providence Photography
You know someone.
You know someone who’s experienced a tragedy, is struggling to stay afloat, is raising kids while holding down more than one job, or is volunteering selflessly despite extenuating personal circumstances. You know someone who can’t afford custom photography, but who would cherish it this holiday season. You know someone who deserves a year-round reminder of their family’s spirit, love, and beauty.
You know someone. I guarantee it.
I want to know who they are, and I want to give them the chance to experience complimentary custom photography – $1500 worth, to be exact. This will include a complete session as well as all of the high-resolution digital files from that session, 5×7 prints of the files and a 16×20 mounted print.
And as an added bonus, the person who nominates the winner will also receive a $200 print credit to be used during a session!
The rules:
You cannot nominate yourself, and the person nominated must sincerely be incapable of purchasing my services. (Being unable to make mortgage payments for a multi-million-dollar-home does not qualify as sincere financial need.)
The nominee will receive either a newborn session, child session, family session or engagement/anniversary session. Weddings are not included in this offer.
The nominee must reside within 45 minutes of Cranston, RI or be willing to travel here for their session. Tell me who you know, what they’re experiencing, and why they deserve a session. Please include a way to contact both your nominee and yourself as well.
Comment on this blog entry to let me know you’ve entered, and e-mail me the full story: amy@amyrophotography.com
Nominations are due by midnight, Sunday, December 20, 2009 and the winner will be announced on Christmas Eve…so get nominating! I can’t wait to read all of your entries!
Open your heart to someone this holiday season – and thanks for giving me the opportunity to open mine.
Amy

It’s Monday
I just realized this as I was thinking about the week. I guess I was a little ahead of myself. Or possibly more sleep and caffeine-deprived than I initially thought when I was writing my Ten on Tuesday post!!
Ten on Tuesday | Providence Photography
Okay, I am stepping back into this!
1. I did my last officially booked session this past Friday and I am SO happy!!!! While I will miss shooting (a lot, actually) it is nice to have some down time with my children and family before the holidays. I do have newborn twin girls some time in the next two weeks (good luck, K!!!) but that will be it until after the New Year. I am accepting bookings for the new year and will be running a newborn promo so keep your eyes open for that.
2. Unfortunately this down time hasn’t started yet as I am finishing up editing, placing last orders, shipping out last orders, etc. As a gentle reminder if you haven’t ordered yet (unless you *just* got your gallery) try to get it in as soon as possible to ensure delivery by Christmas. And of course I will be editing the wedding throughout the month. But there is a light at the end of the tunnel. It’s faint, but it’s there.
3. My 4th 29th birthday is in ten days. I can’t believe it!! It’s a good thing I loved 29 so much 😉 In the meantime I am wondering where the year has gone because…
4. Layne’s first birthday is in 22 days. Now THAT I really cannot believe. I think I am pretty much in denial about it. So much so that I haven’t even planned a party for her. I am feeling some mommy guilt but with a birthday between Christmas and New Years it’s tough to ask people to come to a party. And again, I am in denial. She cannot possibly be that big already. It seems like yesterday that I was pregnant with her. She did get her first barrettes the other day to help tame the mane so that has made her seem a bit bigger, but still.
5. I have a very special promotion that I am announcing on Wednesday. It is a contest of sorts, a very VERY huge giveaway to a very deserving person. After all, the holiday is about giving and helping others. 🙂 So be sure to check back the next few days to find out more information.
6. I have a brand spanking new 24″ iMac headed my way. It is somewhere between here and Reno, NV last I checked but should be here tomorrow. I am SO excited!!!!! I do love (and have loved for two years) my MacBook Pro. But I am gaining 10″ of screen space and a much faster processor and graphics card along with an extra 750 MB of hard drive. With all of these sessions and the wedding I do believe my computer hates me right at the moment.
7. Are you stuck for a holiday gift for someone? I do offer gift certificates for sessions as well as for print credits. Maybe you have a friend due with a baby. Or want to get a grandmother a family session. Think about the gift of custom photography 🙂 If you are looking for a camera for someone you can always refer back to my friend Susan’s article that I reposted HERE
8. Just three from my last session on Friday. It was third time with them but FINALLY they liked me. They really LIKED me! 😉 We went to Colt State park which is SO gorgeous. It is only my second session there and in the evening with the golden sun and a gorgeous sky it was just absolutely perfect. These were my favorites from the whole day, especially the last one. Just something about it.
9. And because I think Melissa might still be looking just to see if there are any new photos I surprise her with, just one more from my slow editing of the wedding
10. I have six big prints coming to my house right now to hang and I am SO excited. (2) 16×20, (2) 16×24 and (2) 18×24. I wanted to go even bigger but thought I’d see how these look. I will definitely be taking a photo once I have them all up. I always encourage clients to go big but people are so trained to think that 8×10 is a wall size.
That’s all for this week. Off to school drop off and then back to keep editing.
