March Anniversary Special | Illinois Photographer
March 5, 2010The Imaginate Photography website officially launched in March of 2008. What an AMAZING two years it has been! I’m so very thankful and humbled by the incredible amount of support I’ve received, as well as the opportunity to meet & photograph such wonderful people. A huge THANK YOU!
As many of you know, if I’ve ever photographed your family or children, I always encourage a shot or two of just the couple alone, mom & dad together. I know personally that I shy away from the camera, but looking back, I’m always so glad that I gave in every now and then. March’s Anniversary Special is perfect for a quick mini-session, to capture and celebrate your love! And mostly, just long enough to get some great shots, and not torture the men in our lives This would also make a great gift for a special couple that you may know! Grandparents, aunt & uncle, your parents…
Here are the details:
*Session must be booked during March, but session may take place at a later date.

I love seeing all of the love on the blog, and comments from the readers.. So I’ve been doing some thinking to figure out how I can show my appreciation and give some love back to YOU! Awhile back I mentioned an idea, but I wanted to expand on that even further… Soooo, here are the details!
**For every post that receives 15 comments, the pretty people (family, child, HS senior, etc.) featured in that post, will be entered into a drawing to receive a goody from me!
**Goodies range from Buy One, Get One prints, % OFF coupon codes, $$$ print credit, % off Canvases, % off Beveled Edge pieces, and MORE!
It’s that easy! 15 comments, and you’ll receive something special! Have fun, and start helping each other earn goodies!
Random Acts of Kindness Day | Illinois Photographer
February 17, 2010Today is Random Acts of Kindness Day. You know what to do…perform a few random acts of kindness! Almost any kind deed will do. I recommend you perform kind acts on as many people as you can. This is a favorite day for many people and groups. People like the idea of showing a little kindness to others. It’s a fun and great thing to do.
Caution: What comes around, goes around. Random Acts of Kindness is highly contagious.
To order, simply visit the Imaginate Photography site, and click on Proofs. At the top of the page, select the option for Gift Card, and you can then enter the amount that you wish to purchase. Use Coupon Code: 50%OFFGC for this offer.
