TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES

Urgent Message - Like A Weather Forecast

We are experiencing Technical Difficulties with our E-Mail service. According to Comcast, it will be 72 hours before we are restored so if you have sent an e-mail anytime after 2pm on 3/17/2010 it is "LOST IN SPACE" I will post when the system is restored. You can text me or contact me at katherine@katherinepaynephotography.com

So, I'm making lemonade and going to go out and play...... See You Soon

update today

This blog process is not as easy as I thought it would be. I have so many thoughts, some really awesome and worthy of sharing and some are just thoughts that would be hideous to post so. What do you do? I promised to keep up on this so here I am. Early morning, fresh coffee and too cold yet to go out so here is my update today.

I presented a program at the DMFDA meeting last Wedneday evening introducing NILMDTS. I was invited to attend and present at this meeting. We had around 100 attendees and the program was received very well, it was a dinner meeting and yes we were included in their meal, and yes it was yummy. I was very pleased with the reception received and somewhat surprised with how many that had not heard of NILMDTS or the services provided to these families. Thank you for inviting me to attend and present at your meeting and for welcoming my husband and daughter who attended with me.

My travel schedule has had some significant bumps, I was unable to attend PPA's Imaging USA in Nashville for personal reasons with my very ill mother. I was scheduled to attend WPPI Conference in Vegas this year, tickets in toe and didn't make it out of Denver. Not exactly tax donation items. My trip to Arches is going to reschedule due to the Massive Rock Slide on I-70 closing the Interstate in both directions at Glenwood Springs. I'm reading it could be months to complete so this may be a "Summer Family Session Safari" instead of the original Spring Safari.

I have a wedding scheduled the weekend of the Denver Dumb Friends League Furry Scurry so I will not be present during their 100th Year Celebration on Saturday May 1, 2010. This is a little crazy since I've been present and supporting the league for the past 9 years during their annual event. I will be offering a special in honor of the 100th year so stay tuned for more details.

So stay tuned for the ever changing calendar changes, updates and adventures and keep seeing the light.

March..March..March..

It is so crazy, how fast the time passes and to think we are entering the second week of March already is even crazier.
Some Housekeeping Items:
1) Last 3 weeks to capture your Family Session and be included if you want in the International Charity Model Search, proceeds to benefit Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep.
2) Waiting to hear from the winner of the $1900 silent auction package, time is passing, I need to hear from you by March 28th to register your card.
3) Still looking for a few Senior Reps for the class of 2011. I have secured a couple awesome Seniors so far and looking forward to their Adventure Sessions.

I have put together a couple of promotional videos for Senior Models and Reps. Let me say one more thing. If you like to have fun, want to have the time of your Senior Life and capture the sweetest images. Take a minute and think about the program I have to offer.

I do offer sessions from "Get it done" which I named for those individuals who just want a image for the yearbook and don't want to have the adventure, to "Ultimate Super Senior Sessions" which is best said is a rocking adventure. So whatever you need or want we have it for you. I also am continuing the program to earn your wallets "FREE", yes I said Free. Here are a few ways to earn free wallets with your senior sessions.
1) Get the school yearbook information to KPP as soon as possible, before your session date.
2) Keep your original session appointment
3) Be on time, don't be late
4) Referrals, Referrals, Referrals

Each of these points earn you 8 wallets so out the gate you already have the ability to have 24 wallets before we take your first image and 8 more wallets for every friend you refer to and they schedule their appointment. Sounds like a good idea, especially when so many wallets are used in the Graduation Announcements. Think about it...

Spring is so in the air, everyone I have spoke with is having some serious cabin fever and although we don't have the full bloom of spring we still have some great locations to capture your family sessions.

~~~The Adventures Begin Here~~~

Vancouver 2010 Give A Way - The Winner Revealed

WOW what a hockey game, great job to both teams, and the closing ceremonies were pretty awesome.

Before revealing the winner of the 2010 Vancouver Give-A-Way, I want to thank everyone who entered this drawing. I am touched by the response to this drawing, I received over 200 entries and will be excited to offer new programs as the year unfolds.

So to the winner of my Vancouver 2010 Give-A-Way. Congratulations go to K. Schneider.

The Climb the Vine Wine tasting and silent auction was on Saturday night and I am still waiting to hear who won the Auction Item provided by Katherine Payne Photography.

As we March into March, I'll be launching a couple programs. We have the Gratitude Project launching on the 7th of March. We have the Spring Headshot Sale and for the Facebook friends and fans, I'm launching a campaign to increase the fan number. I'll reveals those details very soon.

So, celebrate the season, start planning for Spring.
