Pinkle Toes 4 Photographers

2008-07-29T18:19:00.000-07:00

I am currently a member of this group and plan on renewing my membership this week. She takes a limited amount of members and I find the goodies VERY rewarding. Just today I used a featured template and created a "flip book" for a client. It includes images from a maternity session on one side, flip it over and it includes photos from the newborn session. I plan on printing this from ACI.

Here is a link to join PT4P. http://www.pinkletoes.com/pt4p/

Stay tuned and I will share some photos from the Flip Book I created.

Happy photographing :)

Slide shows...

2008-07-26T14:13:00.000-07:00

I recently decided it was about time I started doing online slide shows for my clients. I purchased http://www.soundslides.com/. I found it easy to use and my clients love it. I also have Pro Show Gold. This program helps me transform the slide shows to a DVD for my clients. I haven't actually used Pro Show Gold yet, but hope to learn the program soon.

Email me if you have any questions!
Enjoy your weekend,
Natalie

Deal of the week....

2008-07-18T12:34:00.000-07:00

My goal has been to offer a special, drawing, contest, etc. every couple weeks.

Today's special comes from Michelle of http://www.pixelchicdesigns.blogspot.com/. She is portfolio building and is offering clients 20% off their logo design.........HOWEVER, if you tell her you found her on Capturing Innocence, you will receive and EXTRA 10%. Michelle created my Capturing Innocence logo and was AWESOME! I found her very helpful and timely.

The first person to leave a comment below, received a complimentary biz card as well.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Drawing...

2008-07-10T20:20:00.001-07:00

I have not forgotten about the drawing. I was going to have random.org do the drawing but between the business being busy and getting ready for a garage sale (YUCK!), I dropped the ball. I will get my daughter to help draw tomorrow.......stay tuned.

I also forgot to take the special pricing down......look slike some of you got to enjoy the special a few days longer! Glad you have you purchase the guide. If any of you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.

Off to get ready for tomorrow's big drawing :)

Until then...
Natalie

First DRAWING!!

2008-07-01T12:44:00.000-07:00

I thought it would be fun to do some different contests, drawings, interviews, etc. on this blog. I will be doing one weekly, so be sure and check back often........We have some FABULOUS vendors!!

Today, we are doing a drawing for one of these awesome camera strap slip covers. Amy of http://www.priddycreations.blogspot.com/ has a great eye for fun fabrics and her sewing is perfection.

The first 10 photographers to leave a comment will be submitted for the drawing for one camera strap slip cover. The FIRST person to leave a comment AND purchase the guide automatically gets a FREE strap cover!! Get to leaving those comments!! Thanks Amy for your wonderful donation!

Have a beautiful day,

Natalie

Trifold is finished!!

2008-06-29T18:04:00.001-07:00

I worked all day on this fabulous 5x5 trifold which is now included with your guide. This trifold is perfect for newborn sessions, but can be tailored to meet any needs you have. I am hoping to create one similar for family and child sessions...stay tuned!!

Be sure and click on the images to see larger. I am not sure why these photos were seperated. This 5x5 trifold will look great printed at WHCC with their linen finish and beige envelopes.

Have a wonderful Sunday!
