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.

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 ♫☻
