Anyone out there?

As you've probably noticed - we're a little new at this whole 'blogging' thing. And, frankly, I have to say....not very good at it?
I just don't know what to say! Oh, I have a lot to say, believe me! But to post here? I like to keep my personal opinions and comments to my Facebook page. Facebook, by the way, is it not the coolest thing? No, the studio's not on it - you'll find it on MySpace. But for my personal use, I'm on Facebook and loving connecting with long lost friends. In fact, 1/2 of my 'friends' are people I graduated with long, long ago! Back when senior portraits were just head & shoulders.
In fact, I distinctly remember choosing the session with 2 'poses' - straight on and over the shoulder! Wearing my lovely argyle sweater! Just like we hear every day - 'Senior portraits sure have changed! Yes, they have! Now it's more like a modeling portfolio than a traditional portrait session. We know it's an investment, but well worth the time and money. Think about it - your senior portrait is probably the last time you'll be photographed alone! (Except your wedding day!)
Speaking of investments....just to 'test the waters' and see if there really is anyone out there, if you're the first person to call and say you saw this blog, we'll give you an EXTRA $25 off your senior portrait session! Call us! I need to know that all of this typing effort is worth it! 517.349.3340 :-)

Happy Summer!

To all of you who have the summer off...Enjoy! We are busier than ever at the studio, so we're all working full time plus. But, it's great - thanks to you!
I hope you all survived the big storms last week okay and with minimal damage. We were without power at home for 5 days! Thankfully we were able to bring freezer food into the studio to store here. We didn't lose much food and finally cleaned out the freezers, like I've been meaning to do forever!
You know, after the power came back on, Iowa suffered some major flooding. Made our little inconvenience seem minor compared to their mess. Let's hope this crazy weather is behind us!

Whew!

"Okemos Studio, This is Kathi." I think I've said that 50 times in the last few hours! We're having one of our big limited time specials today and the phone has been ringing off the hook! I just know I'll answer the phone like that at home tonight! Thanks to everyone who has called. We're excited you chose Okemos Studio for your senior portraits!
