We had a great day in early August doing portraits all day for Facebook, dating sites, and business portraits.  Thanks to everyone who participated.  We will do it again Friday, September 24 due to the popularity of the event.  Please call to reserve your time if you are interested.

Here are a few of my clients who chose to have professional business portraits made (which can also be used for Facebook, etc.)

We now have a full list of makeup artists and hairstylists available to help our clients get a polished, professional look.  Most of these professionals will come to your home, my studio, or you can go to their place of business… an added convenience for you!

So whether you need a great portrait of yourself for Facebook, a dating site, your website,  or a professional business portrait for marketing purposes, reserve your time during our portrait sessions on Friday, September 24. Either in-studio or outside portraits are available with four different price ranges to choose from based on your own needs.

In the professional world today it becomes increasingly more important to convey yourself in a professional, friendly, and approachable manner.  And with social media of all kinds taking hold like it has, personalizing who we are with a portrait gives people a sense of knowing us better. Investing in a professional portrait is something some business people just don’t get around to doing!  Set yourself apart by setting your best foot forward.

And anyone who has ever used a dating site will tell you that it is rare for someone to look anything like the portrait they use. Of course, this is usually because the selected images are very outdated or don’t really show someone ‘close up.’ All of our images are professionally enhanced, but certainly look exactly like you! So when you meet someone for the first time, they’ll know you from your picture.

I understand that not only is it uncomfortable to have your portrait made professionally, but it’s an investment.  People tell me all the time I make them feel very comfortable and they end up actually enjoying their session with me. J. Love Photography offers a full, 100% money-back guarantee if you are not thrilled with the portraits we make for you.  So what are you waiting for?

Thursday, August 5 – Call now!

It’s time to update your portrait to the outside world! Let’s make the phone ring for you! People love to see who they are doing business with or about to date or ‘talking to’ online. It’s important to all of us to look our best out there, let’s face it! So whether you need a social media portrait or a business portrait, call today and make your appointment for your professional portrait. You’ll be glad you did.

You can select from an outside or inside portrait. All sessions include full retouching and enhancing. All sessions are paid in advance at the time appointment is made. We offer a full, 100% money-back guarantee if you are not happy with the results of your portrait.

I will provide you with a tips sheet to make sure you look fabulous! I plan to speak with each of you ahead of time to assure we’re on track with the look you are going for, since the appointment times will not allow for consultations the day of your session. 

Call today for more information or to schedule your appointment while there are times available. 734-426-0900.

I like designing things.  Back in my hippie days, I used to design, embroider, and sew these little silk handbags for a boutique in Saginaw’s Old Town.  I made a patchwork quilt for my sister out of old blue jeans when she was in college.  I’ve created drapery, clothing, and jewelry… some of it was not worth remembering. LOL.  I’ve  dabbled with charcoal, pencil, and watercolors.  But none of it stuck until I picked up a camera…

This high school senior announcement that I designed was great fun for a lot of reasons.  First of all, this is my niece.  She is the ‘baby’ out of the grandkids.  She is affectionately called  ’T”.  I did her senior portrait session last summer here at my home studio in our lovely backyard with the waterfall, woods, and garden.  Will we ever forget you getting up in that tree, T?  

She ordered a custom invitation and this is what I designed.   It was printed on a pearlized paper so it has a slight shimmer to it making the gray looks silver.  The back side, that has all of the information on it, is completely different and is silver and pink.

I’ve custom designed wedding invitations; Christmas cards; bar mitzvah, baby, and senior announcements; as well as business cards for people.  And, of course, I design photo books and albums.  It’s a wonderful avenue for using my creativity and I love it. 

If you read this far down into this post, use the code “Taylor” before placing your next order on a custom-designed invitation, announcement, or card and I will give you 15% off!

I saw this jewelry line, Jewel Kade, and had to have it! It has unique pewter and beveled glass photo charms with a host of other charms and crystals as well.  I went crazy with all of the fun selections that could be mixed and matched.  

And unlike some lines, the avg. price point is ~$40 on this line! (that’s my pocketbook smiling).  You know me, I love glitter,  animal print, Swarovski crystals.. it’s all there!  I come from a long line of jewelry fanatics so this is not my fault!! It’s hereditary!!!

I want to create a charm with my grandbaby and a heart, one with my cat and a verse about cats, one with a crown, etc.  Since I have a tendency to get bored easily, how cool is it that the charms can be removed or changed and even stacked together?

My dear friend, Judy, thought I was losing my mind until she saw the catalog today! She told me she was going to try to come home from vacation early to try it all on and see it in person during my open house.
Girls will be girls and we do have our priorities!

These are great shower gifts, wedding presents, graduation gifts, or ‘just for me’ gifts! So, invite a friend, get a spending allowance from your children for their Mother’s Day gift to you, bring your mad money, and come over for a glass of champagne and a good time with ‘the girls.’ 

We will also be happy to take ‘wish lists’ and contact anyone you like to fulfill your whimsical wishes.  With any purchase, you will be entered into a drawing for a free photo charm valued at $62.

Lastly, can anyone not fall in love with a company whose jewelry says, “Your own distinctive art, on a small canvas.”

8038 Walsh Rd., Dexter

Bring a friend. Bring several friends! And don’t forget, everyone who attends gets entered into a drawing for a free photo charm.

All orders will be delivered in time for Mother’s Day!

Wow. The phone rang within 30 minutes of making this announcement about our Spring Bonus Day! Here are some add’l details…

Price is still 20 for 20… 20 minutes for $20!

Maximum of 2 people. Additional people are $10 per person (up to 6).

There will be several inflation busting packages to choose from that day as well.  I will personally contact each of you with package information.

This inflation buster pricing will only be available on the day of the session and must be paid in full at that time.

Anything ordered after the day of the session will be at regular J. Love Photography pricing.  Of course, as always, your portraits have a 100% money-back guarantee.  If you don’t like it and order it, you don’t pay for it!  I even refund your $20!

After your images are ready to be viewed, we will meet in person to go over your images and make your selections for your packages you order.  Last time, there was too much confusion trying to do it over the internet.  I apologize for this.  I will still post your images online for friends and family for 30 days.

Can’t wait to enjoy a spring day with all of you creating memories and photographs you will love!
