Let the Casting Call Continue!!!!! | Mid Michigan Photographer

Well, good ole' Punxsutawney Phil says that we will have 6 more weeks of winter, (big surprise, lol). I actually appreciate winter a bit more now, just because feeling that cold, and seeing the snow means that I am HOME where I belong. I am not a huge fan of cold, but I LOVE to watch it snow. Watching the snow reminds me of being a kid. And it is always so majestic.

In light of Phil's famous prediction, I am extending the Newborn Casting Call, and the 25% OFF for Everyone Else sale, for another six weeks. Yup, you heard me right. Six more weeks of amazing deals. The new end date for these offers is March 20th, 2010. And don't forget about the amazing Referral Incentives Program too (newly revised). So polish up those pretty baby faces and contact me to schedule your session.

Pretty Little Baby Mack | Mid Michigan, Infant Photographer

This is my beautiful niece, Mackenzie. She recently visited, along with my sister, from California. It was my first time meeting her. She is such a sweet little thing, and she is stronger than any other baby I know that is her age. You can just feel all of her muscles when you are holding her. It's like she is holding you right back. Poor baby was a little out of sorts, being in a new place and all. Then, on top of that, she got a horrible cold during her time here. She looked so miserable with her runny nose and her heartbreaking cough. Though, through it all, she still seemed to find time to just be adorable, and even let me snap a few pictures of her sweet baby face. I miss her, and my big sis, so much. I'm hoping that their plans to move back home to MI hold tight, and they can make it back soon.

Referral Incentives!!!!


Have you ever wished that you could earn commission on things that you recommend to others, just the same as if you were a sales person at a department store? Wouldn't that be nice. I know that there have been many things in my life that I could have racked up lots of commission on, but unfortunately that is not the way the world works..........most of the time.
Lucky for you, I have decided to try something new. I am now implementing Referral Incentives. And the best part is, you don't even have to be a previous customer of mine.

Here's how it works. When you refer a client to Carri Beth Photography, and they complete a session with me, you will receive a $35 credit toward the purchase of Desk Prints. You can earn up to four credits, which is equal to $140.* If you are such an incredible sales person that you have referred more than 4 clients (who have paid for and completed their sessions**) to Carri Beth Photography, you will become a permanent VIP Customer, and you will receive 20% off*** of your print purchases for the duration of your loyalty to Carri Beth Photography. Pretty exciting, right? Well, it gets better. Your VIP discount CAN be combined with the Early Bird Discount of 10% when you order your prints on the day of your proofing session. That means that a VIP customer could essentially receive $140 in Desk Prints, and up to 30% off of their print order. AMAZING! It doesn't end there though. Each person that pays for and completes a session with me, and gives me the name and contact information of the person who referred them, will receive a FREE 8x10 Desk Print worth $35. How cool is that. Everybody wins here. So why don't you go grab that ugly, old, used-car-salesman blazer out of the back of your closet, and start referring. I can't wait to meet some new faces. :)

*Any credits redeemed will be toward Desk Prints only, and do NOT count toward the $150 print credit, that is usually included in the session fee, and cannot be put toward the purchase of a print package or any other print purchases. The full $300 session fee is still due upon session booking.
**The referred customer must have their session paid for and completed before any credits will be distributed.
***The VIP discount of 20% off can only be combined with the Early Bird Discount of 10% off, for a total of 30% off of the print purchase. It can NOT be combined with any other sale or offer, and can NOT count toward the purchase of a print package. Each VIP customer will have the right to choose to use their VIP discount, or to go along with any current sales that are being offered. A choice must be made upon ordering, and will be final for that ordering session. The VIP discount is only viable throughout the client's loyalty with Carri Beth Photography, and may be rescinded if the client chooses to do business with another portrait photographer.

....and 25% OFF for Everyone else!!!


After I posted the Newborn Casting Call, I received some inquiries about whether or not I am taking babies older than 1 month, or any other kind of session at all. Of course I am. :)
And since I feel bad about leaving anyone out, I have decided to run a HOMECOMING SALE. I am incredibly happy to be back in michigan, where people actually smile at you in the grocery store (seriously, they didn't do much of that in Florida), so I am offering EVERYONE else 25% off of their entire print order.* I will keep this sale going as long as the casting call, although you will have to have your session completed by February 17, 2010 to receive the 25% off, so hurry up and schedule those sessions.

* The 50% off of your purchase does not apply to packages, and cannot be combined with any other offer.


And just because a blog post is just not complete without a picture, here is one from last year that I just found, of my Maddie Moo. She's gotten so big since then.

Newborn Casting Call | Receive 50% off prints and up to $100 in free gifts

So now that I am back home, I'm thinking, what better way to kick things off here in MI than to have a newborn casting call. The winter months are a bit restricting when it comes to on-location photography, but it is a GREAT time to crank up the heater and unwrap those squishy little babies for their photographic debut. For participating in this casting call, you will receive 50% off of your entire print purchase, including announcements, photo books or albums, and gallery wrapped canvases.* You will also receive a Free Gift worth $50. It is preferable that the the photo session takes place within the first 7-10 days after birth, but this deal will be good for babies all the way up to 1 month old. Although, anyone who completes their session within that initial 7-10 day timeframe will receive an Additional Free Gift worth $50. All you have to do is contact me to book your session. The session fee will be due upon booking to reserve your spot and ensure that you will receive the savings offered with this casting call. Of course, no one can predict exactly when your baby will arrive, so the actual date and time of the photo session will be scheduled after your baby's birth date. Be sure to schedule it quickly to maximize your chances of being able to get in before the baby is over 10 days old, so that you can enjoy the full potential of this offer.
I will be running this casting call for six weeks, so you must have your session booked and payed for by midnight on February 17, 2010. What if you are not due until after that date? As long as you are booked and payed for by the end date of this offer, you can enjoy the benefits that come along with it when you do have your baby.
The session fee is $300, and $150 of that goes towards your print purchase. So let's get those babies scheduled, and allow you to enjoy receiving 50% off your purchase and $50-$100 in FREE GIFTS. I cannot wait to start capturing those precious first moments that pass by so quickly.

Back in Michigan. Yaaaaay!

First off, I'd like to apologize for being absent for so long. As many of you know, my family moved to Florida earlier this year, and left so many good friends, family and clients behind. Well, after being away from all of our loved ones for a period of time, we decided that we didn't want to live our lives so far away from everyone, so we have moved back home. I am now living in Ortonville, Mi, and am serving clients in Genesee County and Northern Oakland County. We were keeping our return a surprise for many friends and family, so I have refrained from posting in order to make sure that I did not slip up before we surprised my Mom on Christmas Eve. Surprising everyone has been a lot of fun. I can't even express how excited and relieved I am to be back. It seems like we missed so much in such a short time. One very important event that we missed out on in our time away was our very good friends welcoming their, long awaited, first baby to this world. It was incredibly hard to not be here for such a special event, so of course their home was one of our first visits after our arrival. Their son, Ryder, has to be one of the most adorable baby boys I've ever laid eyes on. I had the privilege of photographing him before Christmas and he was just a dream to shoot. He is such a happy baby, and already, at just 4 months old, has so much personality. I'm so happy that I finally got to meet him, and see him getting love and squishes from his proud daddy. And I'm loving the beautiful "Mommy Glow" that he has brought to his mama's face. His presence in this world is just another reminder that miracles happen every day, and I am so excited to watch him grow and play along side my own babies. I am so happy to be back in Michigan, and I cannot wait to get back to photographing my favorite clients, and hopefully meeting many new ones.

My Beautiful Sister | Grand Blanc MI, Senior Photographer

I was lucky enough to get to spend some time with my youngest sister to shoot her senior pictures. She had her good friend with her, so there was definitely a fun energy to the whole session. She has grown into such a beautiful young woman. I hope she doesn't get mad at me for posting the "kissy-face" pic. Lol. And since she's my baby sis, she gets a few extra preview shots. Gotta show off the family genes, ya know. :)
