BACK TO SCHOOL PORTRAIT SPECIAL

If you have been shopping lately, you’ve noticed the stores are rolling in the Back-to-School items ALREADY!

It is back-to-school time which means the contracted school photographer will take a picture of each student for school records.  That same school picture will go into your child’s yearbook (unless they are a senior), but it doesn’t have to go into your wallet or on your wall.

Why not invest a little in some back to school portraits with a professional photographer? My approach is outdoors and relaxed.  I want your child’s personality to shine through and for them to love how they look in their pictures.

These are a great alternative to traditional school portraits & are available in August & September.

They are all done outdoors and are available for students in pre-k to high school.

Here’s the scoop of this year’s back-to-school portraits:

$75 BACK TO SCHOOL PORTRAITS
15min Mini-Session
Within 15 Miles of zipcode 15208
Online Gallery for Ordering For 2 Weeks
Print & Digital File Packages Available For Purchase

Valid Thru September

So what IS a hand painted canvas?

What type of paint is used on the Hand Painted Canvas?
We only use top-of-the-line heavy archival acrylic paints for the detail work on the canvas. The canvas is then coated with a UV gel-gloss layer to keep it looking perfect for many years to come.

Do I have input on what colors are used, embellishments are used and where the paint will be applied?
At this time, we are leaving the artistic vision of the Hand Painted Canvas up to our EXTREMELY talented and highly experienced artist. This provision ensures the final canvas will be a true one-of-a-kind professional piece of artwork. 

How should I care for my Hand Painted Canvas?
Canvases may be wiped down CAREFULLY with a damp cloth, but no care is really required. Do not put the Hand Painted Canvas in direct sunlight or in a room that is moisture filled.

Does my Hand Painted Canvas come ready to hang?
Yes, like all Exel canvases, the Hand Painted Canvas comes with a finished back, attached mounting bracket and clear rubber wall bumpers.

What is the Hand Painted Canvas process?
Hand Painted Canvases are created by our experienced painters. Using their vast artistic experience, they create a one-of-a-kind masterpiece. Acrylic paint is precisely applied by hand to spot locations on the canvas, including the sides. The flesh of the people  in the image is not painted. Our painters only add to the background, scenery, clothing, jewelry, and such. After drying for an exact amount of time, our artists apply gel-gloss coats over the canvas to create a unique layered effect.

Can I see the actual brushstrokes on the Canvas?Yes! You can touch and feel the actual brushstrokes and there is a layered 3-D look to many areas of the canvas!

So....what are you waiting for? Order your One-Of-A-Kind HAND PAINTED canvas today!

Important regarding your pictures

I know its hard to find your pictures when i take over 3 thousand pics.  But the only options i have to helping you find yourself quicker, is this:

Take less pictures: Which means i can edit and post them quicker, and there are less for you to look thru.  But that also means, less pictures of you and the event.

Pre-Register: when you pre-register, i can easily group your pictures into its OWN album, and those pics get priority so they get posted first.  You can just log into your own album and not spend hours browsing others pics unless you want to.

The reason i dont take the time to group pics etc that arent registered, is because that takes alot more time of mine, and i do have many other things to do.  I do music videos that have been shown on MTV, model photoshoots, commercials etc plus my own day job.  I just cant afford to spend extra time on photos for people who "might" buy some prints.  I also keep my print pricing low and competitive and try to make things affordable for everyone. 

I offer many incentives like free photos, free shipping and discounts for various situations. 

The best thing i can suggest is to pre-register your horse.  That way, i dont have to take so many photos and can concentrait on the people who really want their pictures, i can edit and upload them quicker, and in-turn make everyone happy! ;-)

ALL of the $15 you pay to pre-register can be applied to your order of $50 or more.  And will guarentee that your horses classes will be covered fully!  That means, if your horse is competing, i wont be on a lunch break, or bathroom break lol.  It also means, i WILL actually be at the event.
While i try to make all the events, theres no promise i will, unless i have been booked to be there.

So help me help you, and pre-register!
