Holiday Cards Extraordinaire

Twas the month before Hanukkah, Christmas soon followed,
when the elves and the gelt fairies came to my hollow.

***

They made a suggestion and oh how I listened,
to offer a promo that could not be resisted.

***

Their idea was brilliant, spectacular and wise,
to offer a photo session to the first 25.
***

They said "The time is now to create a portrait extraordinaire,
for clients to choose one, and take it from there."

***

The Laurie Klein Experience will make you smile,

then you'll take home an heirloom, on a digital file.

***

Use it for cards, websites or have it framed,
then sit back and listen to resounding acclaim.
***

And in the end when the season is done,
you'll be remembering the love and sharing the fun.

Call us now. Sessions are available until December 20th 2009.
You select your favorite image from among 10 photographs and that image will be given to you on a CD at the end of our session. Additional images may also be purchased.
Fee is $249.00 plus tax.

As you go about your day today, take the time to rejoice in simple, child-like pleasures. When you can bring this element into your every day life, and also into your art; you will start to see the world in lighter, more carefree terms. ~Nicole Cudzilo


"I know not how I seem to others, but to myself, I am but a small child wandering upon the vast shores of knowledge, every now and then finding a small bright pebble to content myself with." ~Plato

Monday Morning Inspiration

Sometimes we get stuck in an artistic rut; but always remember to focus on what you can accomplish, rather than what you are being blocked by. This will motivate you, and help you to get back onto the path of healthy self-expression.

"My will shall shape the future. Whether I fail or succeed shall be no man's doing but my own. I am the force; I can clear any obstacle before me or I can be lost in the maze. My choice; my responsibility; win or lose, only I hold the key to my destiny." ~Elaine Maxwell
