Tips for a wonderful session:
Urban sessions are designed to be fun and unique. Think bright colored walls, alleyways, busy streets, and brick buildings. So come with a great and fun attitude. Little girls in tutus are fantastic! Props are great too. Kids with giant lollipops or carrying balloons make for wonderful shots. Winter hats on the little ones are extremely cute. Think of things you like to do or make you unique. Bringing a prop that displays this is always a great idea. Basically think out of the box a little bit. If you need some help, shoot me an email and I’l try and get those creative juices flowing.

Also, make sure to coordinate your family’s clothes, but not so they are all matching. Simply make sure the colors are complimentary.

Winter Promotion

If you follow this blog, you know that I have moved to Colorado and I couldn’t be happier about that decision! It took some time, but my husband and I are what we consider “officially settled”. We bought a house and most boxes are unpacked. Its an exciting chapter in our life. We absolutely love it here!

As we are new to the North Metro Denver area I am offering a fantastic deal on photography. The package is $125 for up to 1.5 hours of coverage and $100 print credit!!!! All you have to do is book a date by March 11, 2011. Your session doesn’t have to occur by that date, you only need to book by then to reserve the special.

Feel free to pass this on to any one you know in the Denver area! Its great for families, but can be used for just about anything.

Maternity
Babies
Children
Families
Engagements
Parties
Or any other idea you can think of!

Thinking Outside the Box

MicheleSchanker — Sat, 18 Jul 2009 05:48:02 +0000

Kids sessions are just great! Savoring all those “kid” moments makes totally priceless memories. Have you ever thought about thinking outside of the box when it comes to having your children’s photos taken. Think of a location that they enjoy or feel really comfortable. This could be the zoo, a sporting game, a roller skating rink, the arcade. My biggest suggestion for kids portraits is to think outside of the box. Stray away from the parks and the beaches and think unique!

Now what kind of a photographer would I be without showing some samples.

To help you get an idea, look for a new special tomorrow! In which I plan to release details for photosessions at the Antelope Valley Fair!!!

Lookin For More Print Credit?

It’s print credit time!

Michele Schanker Photography is now offering print credit for referrals.

How does this work? It’s rather simple. After you have had your session with MSP you will receive 5 referral cards. All you have to do is hand them out. For each booked client that shows me the card the client that referred them gets a $25 print credit! You then have the option to either use it as you wish or save it. If you save them, once you get 5 credits you are entitled to a 12×18 gallery wrap!!! I will keep track of your credits and send you an email every time you get a credit. It’s totally simple.

Want to see the cards?

Fine Art!

MicheleSchanker — Tue, 21 Apr 2009 01:35:35 +0000

I have been meaning to do this for a long time…but tonight I finally started a fine art gallery! These are photos that have been taken by Michele Schanker in various locations. They can be purchased straight from the gallery and will always be available on the proofing site. I also plan to update the pricing to include an option for framed art. I will be adding more art over time, so keep checking back!

But I wanted to get this started cause I have an exciting announcement! If you have not seen my previous post, I am auctioning off a photo session in which the proceeds benefit the American Diabetes Association. Along the same line of thought…I have decided that I will donate 20% of any orders placed by May 30th from the fine art gallery to the American Diabetes Association! So check it out! Think friends, family, yourself, birthdays, holidays.

To view the photographs click here. Then click on the “Fine Art” gallery.

New Product – Proof Box

MicheleSchanker — Mon, 30 Mar 2009 03:22:09 +0000

I have had a few questions lately regarding the new item I am carrying in my wedding packages. This item is usually what I refer to as Proof Box. Essentially this is a box that is custom designed using a few of your photographs. All of your proof prints from your session/wedding are included in the box as 4×6 prints. There is a front, a side, and a back. To show you exactly what this looks like I have included some photos of my sample box. This item is truly a unique way to present your proof prints. The design possibilities are endless and will always be approved by you.

Holiday Mini Sessions

MicheleSchanker — Fri, 25 Jul 2008 21:17:04 +0000

Well, summer is flying by and winter will be here before we know it. So I wanted to get some info out there about Holiday Mini Sessions. These are great sessions to capture some of your families moments for Holiday cards and gifts. Last year was hectic, so this year there are a few guidelines. All sessions must be photographed by the end of November in order to guarantee delivery of prints and cards before the 25th of December. I will also be booking a limited number of sessions, so please reserve your dates early.

*For locations outside of the Antelope Valley there may be an additional travel fee required. Please inquire for additional information.
