Well, that was quick. We only have one more April Spring Fling available!  I had two sessions booked already. Congratulations on your free 11×14’s, H and V families! Who will be the next and final lucky family to pick a park? 

How does the Spring Fling special work?  Simply call and book a session between now and May 20th at a local Virginia Beach, Norfolk, or Chesapeake area park.  This special was limited to the first three people that booked a session with Leslie du Mont Photography. Two have already booked. If you call soon, you can win a free 11×14 portrait from your session, too! Simple, eh? 

FYI, yesterday afternoon I discovered that my business cell number has been switching straight to voicemail and not notifying me of new calls since mid-March!  Ugh, I was hoping that was an April Fools joke, but it wasn’t. All it took was a quick trip to the local store to buy a new phone to remedy the situation, but I quickly realized just how many calls I missed in that amount of time.  :-(   Luckily, I think all of my clients have been in contact via email anyway, but if not, I certainly apologize for the inconvenience and I’ll be returning your calls asap…with the new phone.

Take care.

I usually don’t shoot at events.  Well, at least I have never accepted a request to do one before.  But, this one I could not refuse! 

A certain beautiful blonde sprite that has been a client of mine friend of mine for two years was turning 10 years old and was having a Rock Star theme party.  Of course, how can you be a real Rock Star without paparazzi snapping pictures of you on the red carpet or an action shot of you rocking out with full on headbanger’s hair?

Here is a sneak peak of what will be featured in her slideshow.

We rocked out to some music that I’d never even heard of before, but somehow every little girl there knew a dance to the tune!  [Dare I say that I am classically un-hip?]

Regardless of my square-ness, thanks for inviting me to the big night, MV! You are indeed a Rock Star in my book.

I’m not the shopper I once was. For years now, I’d much prefer to have new camera equipment. …But every once in a while fate steps in and shows me something that I get excited over! 

 Over the past three months my business has changed a lot.  I hung up my sign to do business in a new state after the move and got everything official with state, federal and local governments.  I restructured my prices, my collections, my forms.  I’ve redesigned my logo and all of my promotional materials.  I’ve joined local professional organizations and attended seminars.  I’ve donated different things to various local charities.  You know… the kinds of things that business owners do!  All business.

 Then, I see this at Seejanework.com and my heart goes a-twitter!  Something still kind of business’ey, but something girlie, too!  I found these leather business card holders online and I fell in love.  Looooook!  They come in what my family calls “Leslie Blue.”  Call it colonial blue.  Call it wedgewood blue or robin egg blue even. Whatever it is, it has been my signature color since high school days and it has been part of my business since I started back three years ago!

 Yes, one is coming my way even as I type this!  Don’t you just know I’ll be whipping out my business cards all the time now.  My poor un-suspecting yard guy!  “Nice to see you again.  Thanks for the new mulch.  Do you have my card?” 

 You all have been warned!

Ahhh, the joys of small business ownership and still being girlie!

PS: Next week look for photos of a rock star or two on the blog!  How exciting!
