How would you like a FREE Deluxe Senior Session, FREE Wallets and the chance to earn CASH? If you’re interested, contact me by June 6th. I’ll be choosing one Senior Rep from each school.

So, What is a Senior Model & Rep?
Each year I select a few students in the area to become a Model & Rep. One lucky rep per school will receive a FREE 2-hour session ($200 value) in exchange for you telling your classmates about your amazing experience with Sleaque Images.

What You Have To Do?
I will provide you with free custom-designed Senior Rep Cards using photos from your session to hand out to your friends. You’ll also get up to five Facebook images. The rest is up to you! Look for bulletin boards where you and your friends hang out. Have a Facebook page? Make a photo album and link to my website. The more students you refer to Sleaque Images, the better for YOU!

What’s In It For You?
In addition to the free session, each student who schedules and comes in for a senior portrait session based on your referral earns you $20 cash. Refer five people and you get $100 cash, in your pocket! That’s right! For every five clients you send in, receive $100 cash … UP TO $200! The senior must mention you when scheduling their session for you to earn rewards.

Ok, What’s the Catch?
As a Sleaque Images Senior Model & Rep, you will be required to refer at least two other students by August 31st. With just a little bit of work of posting on Facebook and passing out your Rep cards, this won’t be a problem for you. However, if you don’t refer at least two students, your session fee of $200 will be required. Your session will take place during the month of June.

A Few Other Details.
As a Sleaque Images Senior Model & Rep, you will be required to sign a Model Release and an agreement stating that you will not be a Rep for any other photographer. Also, you will be required to submit a list of ten students from the class of 2013 who you feel would make a good Senior Model & Rep.

Let’s Get This Party Started!
If this sounds good to you, send me an email: suzanne (at) sleaqueimages (dot) com with your name, phone, email and the name of your school.

Mother’s Day is May 8th this year and a portrait session is the perfect gift any mom would love. This could be ‘Mommy & Me’ photos of you and your little ones or you could surprise your Mom with portraits of your family. This is also a great option for older siblings because Mom hasn’t had photos of them in a while.

In honor of including Moms in photos, I’m offering two fun Mother’s Day collections. Or you can call me to create a custom collection of your own. Make sure you call right away to reserve your spot. There are only a few sessions available.

This portrait contest is for kids 10 years and younger who live in Western Mass and will be held at the Norcross House in East Longmeadow.

I held this contest last year and it was a blast! Click here to see images from last year.

What:  ’Spring Has Sprung’ Little Models Contest
Who:  Children 10 and under
Where:  Heritage Park Gazebo, N. Main Street, East Longmeadow (across from 382 N. Main St.)
When:  Friday ~ April 15th ~ 9:30am-11:30am
Saturday ~ April 16th ~ 12pm-2pm

Each child who enters will be photographed for about 10 minutes during the times listed above. This contest is not about who is the most adorable, we know ALL children are adorable! It is about the model that best personifies Spring!
The images will be posted on a web gallery for friends and family to make their vote. The winner will receive over $200 in gifts and prizes!

There will be balloons, pinwheels, and lots of laughter. All models must register in advance by contacting Suzanne at 413.525.9089.

Tip:  Have your child wear bright, vibrant colors. Raincoats and umbrellas work great too!

Contest Rules: Images will be posted by Tuesday, April 19th, on this blog. Voting will end on Thursday, April 21st at 11:59pm and the winner will be announced on Friday, April 22nd.

Option 1: Child’s Valentine Session, which includes the session, three gift-sized portraits (5×7), and one digital file you can use to make custom valentines for your child to hand out in class.

Option 2: Couple’s Valentine Session, which includes the session, a mini 3″ album, and two Facebook images.

Each is offered for just $179, a savings of over $100. I’m only offering these sessions on January 29th, and space is limited so call to reserve your session. Also, did you know that we offer business portraits? And this month, we are offering our $249 on-location business portrait session for the studio price of $149. This is a great deal!

Last year, as it got closer to Valentine’s Day, my kids starting asking me about valentines. I dread taking my kids to CVS to stand there and sort through the mounds of valentines offered for kids so I decided to make my own. I figured it would be more fun and more personal. See the example of what we did last year. This is a fun way to use your child’s photo for something a little different.

But let’s not leave out us “grown ups”. What a great time to get a portrait of you and your spouse. Our Couple’s Valentine Session is quick and fun. Think back to those old photo booths where you make silly faces into the camera and at each other.

Call us today to reserve your Valentine Session! 525.9089
