As September Creeps In
Sunday, August 22, 2010
August 2010 comes to a close
As August comes to a close, I want to touch on a couple items that have been brought up to me over the past few weeks.
1) NO, it is not the end of Senior Season. If you haven't captured your senior images yet it is not to late, remember, graduation is usually in May which is several months away. So we still have time to capture your session and seniors can earn their personal DVD slide show of their Senior Adventure ask me how. Each school has their own deadline for yearbook submissions. Some schools have deadlines in September, others in October, November and I even have a few seniors that have schools with February 2011 deadlines. I cannot change the deadlines of your school so the yearbook images may or may not be included. Please do not let this determine if you are having your senior pictures captured, its not about a yearbook its about your senior year and Katherine Payne Photography offers the absolute best Senior Adventures around. Even the standard session is an adventure, so give a call and see how we can add to your Senior year with an exclusive Katherine Payne Photography Senior Adventure. Right now, the session fee is crazy affordable if you pre-invest $200 towards your finished images, your session fee is $50. Yes I said $50. If you don't think that is affordable, please drop me a note, I want to hear from you. Even if you went to the Mall Photography Outlets, you won't see them taking you on an Adventure with "REAL" natural backgrounds, not paper or muslin. Now I'm not going to just give it away, you must ask me for the promotion and pay a minimum of $200 towards your finished images by the day of your session. Seniors also earn free wallets. (If you are redeeming a Senior Rep Referral Card, talk about a good day, your session is free when you pre-invest.)
2) NO, not all my images are being uploaded to facebook or myspace. If you really care to know and if you have questions about this, please feel free to contact me personally and I will be happy to share with you all the reasons why you only see limited images and limited clients on my facebook page or the Katherine Payne Photography facebook site. Its not personal its business.
So enjoy the brief sneak peek at Brittany's senior session which we spent the entire day together and captured 4 times the number of images you see in this clip.
Take Care and keep seeing the light.

Voices of Reality Show - Internet TV Programming
On August 13, 2010, I was a guest on the Voices of Reality Internet TV Program

representing Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep. With me Lindsay Hannagan from HQ and two of my very special Mom's and friends; Rachel Hall and Brianna Campbell spoke with our host: Kasha Fauscett. Please visit the site to replay the feed. It has 3 parts:

This was our first experiencing working with Voices of Reality and meeting the staff/crew and Kasha. I feel we were able to share the mission of Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep. Please feel free to contact me personally if you have questions or if you would like to get involved in the program as a volunteer.
This Friday's program with Kasha is about Teen Suicide and she will be joined by a couple of Moms who lost their daughters to suicide. Please visit the video of Brianna who's Mom will be talking with Kasha this Friday, August 20, 2010:

Please tune in this Friday at http://www.voicesofreality.com/ to help support this local Colorado group.
Voices of Reality have graciously agreed to partner and work with me and the Denver Group for the upcoming Help-Portrait event on December 4th so I am thrilled to make yet another wonderful connection with a great group from Colorado.
Keep seeing the light.

Profound Thoughts
Now on the flip side of that coin, I’ll tell you I do want people to love my work and ultimately I make many avenues available so that Katherine Payne Photography is affordable even when it doesn’t appear to be possible. Between my promotions and referral programs, my return clients find updating their wall portraits a matter of routine. I do offer web share/digital files so my clients can share their personal images on Facebook or MySpace or their personal blogs with limited restrictions. I am also willing to sell my digital files on an individual image basis if that is something my client is looking for. I’ve kept an open door to listening to all possible questions and sometimes the answer is yes, so I guess in closing, the best advice I can give is if you want it, need it or desire it, you must first ask for it. My crystal ball doesn’t read the minds of potential clients so make the call, start the dialogue and start a lasting relationship capturing your images and writing your stories.
