The newest gator fan – Gainesville Florida Baby Photographer

Wednesday, July 1, 2009 at 5:43pm Posted in Babies, Updates

Adorable at 3 months old. You may remember Baby “O”’s newborn pictures over here. I can’t believe how quickly they grow up….Gator fever runs in his family! His mom was the U.F. soccer captain!

I do head shots too! – Gainesville Florida Headshots

Tuesday, June 30, 2009 at 3:45pm Posted in Headshots

Not only do I do family, seniors, events, weddings, and engagements…but I also do head shots too! Head shots are great for either aspiring actors and models but executives as well. But if you want a good head shot for your facebook or web site…I can do that too. Your head shot is often the first thing your customers are directors are gonna see…so make it count. You can download a price list here for more details. I also design and print Comp Cards too. Here is Melanie’s comp cards….she is sooooo beautiful!

Introducing the Laurel Housden Photography Studio Signature Albums – Gainesville Fla Professional Photographer

Sunday, June 28, 2009 at 1:29pm Posted in Annoucements, Holiday Sessions, My Products

I’ve finally found the perfect Signature Album for my clients and I’m unveiling them today! I’ve been searching for months for the perfect album to display my client’s portraits. I wanted something that would be cherished and loved without the worry of wear and tear. You know…something like the durable first board books that you give the kids to read – with big chunky, colorful, thick pages. Too many times my clients spend a fortune in albums only to tuck them away in the closet for fear of ruining it. I want my clients to have an album that they can cuddle on the coach together and have the kids actually turn the thick, chunky pages, and laugh and giggle as they recall how much fun we had. An album that can stay on the coffee table to share with everyone – everyday. The Signature Albums come in three sizes and feature ALL the images from your session with an artisan matte finish picture cover. Each page is 2mm thick and UV coated for durability. Just stunning.

I know that some of my current clients are going to want one of these albums – so for ONE WEEK ONLY - I am offering $100 OFF any Signature Album (they come in 3 sizes) and I will reactivate your gallery for one week with no reactivation fee. This offer is only good for clients with sessions January 1 through June 21st 2009. You must email me at lahousden @mac.com to let me know you want an album and I will give you all the details.

By the way…start thinking about Holiday Portraits. Last year I was booked by November – so keep an eye on the blog for the Holiday Session Packages. I will be doing just a few this year.
