Bubble Play – Gainesville Florida Lifestyle Photographer

Yesterday we enjoyed a fantastic day at the Hoggetowne Medieval Faire in Gainesville Florida. The weather was just perfect – highs in the 50’s and a breeze to boot. Perfect for bubbles. For about an hour, I watched Aidan playing in the enchanted garden with the bubbles. It was such a nice change to just sit and observe without any pressure to perform. There is nothing more therapeutic then the sound of your own child’s laughter and genuine smiles…all compliments of the bubbles!

Current Specials – Gainesville Florida Lifestyle Photographer

Throughout the year I am running special sales and discounts that you can apply to your session. You can always see the current and past specials by going here - or look in the drop down menu bar above under Details & Specials and look for the Current Specials Link.

Currently I am running a Valentine’s Day Special that includes a very special brag book when you book your session by March 31st 2010. You do not have to have the session by March 31st – but you need to schedule your session by then!

Book your session by March 31st and receive a brag book!

Digital File Sale expires February 14th! – gainesville florida family photographer

I’ve done a total re haul of my pricing for 2010 and have thought long and hard but have decided to now offer digital files in leiu of prints. Basically, instead of prints, you choose digital files for your CD so you have complete freedom to make as many copies as you wish! I will still offer custom boutique items that you can only purchase through a professional photographer as well as custom framing and wall display guidance. Remember, all my wall displays are already priced to include the print plus framing or gallery wrapped canvases – so they come ready to hang!

As a thank you to all my wonderful clients from 2008-2009 – I would like to extend this new pricing to your previous galleries as well as a coupon code for an additional 50% off your digital files! This offer is only good through February 14th!

If you would like your gallery reposted, just shoot me an email at laurel@laurelhousden.com with “digital sale” in the subject line and I will reopen your gallery and send you a 50% off coupon.

You can check out the new pricing over here
