Final Friday in February (F☺F♥F☻)

Final Friday in February is here -

Recapping a few items of interest:

Closing Ceremonies for the 2010 Olympic Games is Sunday, February 28th. We will be drawing the winner of the Vancouver 2010 Give Away during the closing ceremonies and will post March 1st the winner of this awesome prize. You still have time to enter, send your name, address, phone, and e-mail to info@katherinepaynephotography.com and in the subject line write Vancouver 2010 Give-A-Way.

International Charity Model Search has only 30 more days to get those images captured. I'm really surprised at the mixed responses I've seen with this program. There is still time to enter so if you have the "Cutest Family in North America", all proceeds for the voting does benefit the Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep Organization and the winner will win a NEW CAR.

I'm looking for my 2011 Senior Class Representatives, so if you know someone who will be a Senior in High School next year, yes next year the class of 2011, they could be selected as one of my senior reps and receive their session fee free along with some other really awesome perks. I am limiting the number of senior reps so don't delay if you want to be considered for this program. We will want to start shooting those session in May and that is only 3 months away.

I'll be revealing another program with March Madness to help all those network friends out there, be it the business network, social network or dating networks, lets get those headshots updated. More details to come.

February coming to a close

The final week of Vancouver 2010 Give A Way is here, keep those entries coming. The winner will be drawn during closing ceremonies on 2/28. Congrats to all our medalist, this has been some great games to follow.


We are excited to participate in the YMCA's Climb the Vine Wine Tasting and Silent Auction to benefit the Strong Kids Program. Katherine Payne Photography has donated a very handsome gift package to the lucky silent auction winner.


We are also entering the final month of the International Charity Model Search to benefit Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep (NILMDTS). There is still time to get your family session captured and enter this event, so don't delay contact us today.

We've had some "Classic Colorado" weather, from snow caps to seasonably warm days ☼ so we have many options to create your special images.
I'm also accepting requests for my Senior Representatives for the class of 2011 with Katherine Payne Photography, so if you are interested in getting a free Senior Session, web share images for your Facebook and My Spaces as well as special print discounts and how to earn free wallets, contact me for more details.
Have an awesome day, remember this: Every day is special, it doesn't have to be your birthday, anniversary or a special holiday, because every day, you give one day in your life to experience it. ♪♫ Tada ♫☻

Things to not forget!

Vancouver 2010 Give A Way

e-mail your information to:

info@katherinepaynephotography

to enter this awesome give away, the winner will be selected during the Closing Ceremony on February 28th.

We are 17 hours into the "Celebration of my Mothers Birthday Sale", this will end at 4pm tomorrow 2/18/2010.

My Professional Session Special is back by popular demand so another way to make those professional images happen for you.

Now on a personal Note:

Family is so very important to me, not only the family God gave me naturally but the family that has evolved through my life. I've had many very important individuals leave my life and "move" to heaven if you will. My passion for photography has given me the ability to "capture" timeless memories and I cannot even begin to express how important these image are to me. Some images I cherish are frankly, not good photographs but they are all I have so to answer a question that was recently asked of me "Why would you give so much away or make such offers in your business?" well, my answer to that particular question is because if I can give one gift to someone that can spark the memory or bring them closer to the ones they have lost, than it is all worth it, God gave me the gift of photography and also gave me the gifts of my dear friends, its kind of my duty to give back for him.

Thanks for visiting and listening.

Keep seeing the light!

Celebration of my Mom's 87th Birthday Reveal

In Celebration of my Mom’s 87th Birthday here is the reveal.

Some Ideas to toss around:
ONE) Plan two sessions, one now and one in the summer.
TWO) Use one session, give the other away as a gift.
THREE) You have two Class of 2011 Seniors, friends or family. Consider splitting the cost of the session and special and with that, each can apply $350.00 towards their Senior Session. So it can be used even towards the Ultimate Senior Session, only restriction is get the session done in 6 months that gives you until AUGUST 16th to complete your selected Senior Session/Adventure. Seniors still can earn their free wallets. Earn 8 free wallets for each of the following
1 – Keep your initial appointment, do not cancel or reschedule.
2 – Arrive on time for your scheduled session, don’t be late.
3 – Provide your schools requirement for the yearbook (You cannot miss this one) on or before your scheduled Adventure.
4 – Each referral card redeemed by a friend gives you 8 free wallets.
Here is yet another awesome option. So, say you have a young couple expecting a new baby, use the second session as a Maternity session gift and you will not only be giving the family awesome maternity images, they will automatically get their babies newborn session included with the maternity session, that alone is a $700.00 value.
Last but not least for every $350.00 session investment made during this “48 hour Birthday Sale”, I will give $100 to Thirst Relief International.

Final Days for "Valentines Session" and 3 Days to Winter Olympics

Hello All, We've reached the final days to capture your personal session for valentines day. What an incredible gift you are giving to your sweetheart this Valentine's Day, they are going to love your "Personal Private Showing".

Valentine's day is not the only time of year you can create and give such a personal gift and what better way to capture this time in your life than with professional images. Now I think we've probably all seen some "home grown" attempts at Boudoir images, I know I have and uhhhh, not a good result, so if you want this personal "Pin Up" collection don't try to capture it yourself, or have your friend with their new digital camera come over, schedule your personal session in the privacy of your home. I do not do "Pin Up Parties", my sessions are always private this is not a girls night out event. I'd love to talk to you about scheduling your personal session.

Now to Vancouver and the 2010 Olympic Games - With the Olympics starting this Friday, February 12, 2010, I wish I could be there, however; in the spirit of the games, I will be giving away a winter games session to one lucky person. This session will not only include a day to capture your selected session, you select the session, family, personal boudoir*, maternity, baby etc...... I will include a portfolio with eight of your favorite images. This is a $500 value and you will have until July to use this certificate. Now all you have to do is send me your name, address, e-mail address and phone number to info@katherinepaynephotography.com include in your subject line Vancouver 2010 Give A Way. You can include a little note with which session you would love to win (not required to win). The winner will be selected on February 28th during the Closing Ceremony. The winner will be notified by e-mail and personal phone call. I will post the last name of the winner on the blog March 1, 2010. You can enter every day but only once per day. *Boudoir sessions are adult only, must be of legal age to schedule this session.

So Let The Games Begin.

Website Updated

Well I feel like I met the checkered flag. I finally got my website updated some. Not perfect, never enough time in the day or days in the week to spend on it. My passion is taking portraits, not living at the computer. I have added many more categories, I now have a Charity page which includes Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep, Help-Portrait and Portraits of Love.

I've broken up the Gallery, I now have 10 sub catigories: Weddings, Portraits, Senior Portraits, Headshots, Pets, Nature and Landscape (Including Fine Art), Babies and Children, Maternity and Boudoir, Special Events and Commercial. Posting well over 400 images in these categories, everyone should have a good idea of my style and passion.

I'm excited to have so many beautiful people and awesome clients featured on my website and I am also sad that I cannot include all my awesome clients. For those of you who have requested not to be published, I still honor that request and you are missed but I know you are there.

I have made a point to now try and visit the blog often so to keep in touch with everyone.

This will be a rather short post but I would recomend you visit the website at http://www.katherinepaynephotography.com/ if you haven't lately and check out all the new images.

By popular demand, my 2010 Professional Session Promotion is giving that Session Free with the pre-payment of $150 for prints. You cannot beat this deal, it is a $350.00 value.

Valentine's Day is coming really soon, but if you want that private session for your special Valentine, give me a call and lets get it booked. If we can get it captured by the 10th, I've promised you will have your finished DVD Slideshow ready to deliver to your Honey.

Well, thats all for now and lets keep seeing the light.
